INTRO :: LONG JOURNEY ——— like butterfly wings

the end of the trimester marks a new point in hwang minjun’s life. through the many twists and turns, he’s gradually shaping himself and spreading his wings.

minjun isn’t my first muse of the year, but he is the one i’ve grown incredibly attached to, with connections i never imagined he’d have. i missed the halfway point of the year, i meant to post this on his birthday, july 10th, but better late than never, right? this also serves as a thank you to everyone who plotted with minjun—he continues to develop as a character because of you all, both he and i can’t thank you enough !

PERSONALITY

not a lot has changed in terms of his personality, he continues to be a person eager to please, an overachiever at times, to the point where he’d push himself a little too far. he’s learning to overcome this flaw, to let others take care of him, listen when he’s being told that he’s working too hard. to give himself a break when he needs it. he’s opening his arms to different types of people, more than happy to accommodate all types of personalities if it meant building friendships. at the end of the day, he still has a lot of love to give.

CAREER

the beginning of it all—the valentines event drew out minjun’s infamous aegyo, which went viral within the blink of an eye. it may not be as significant as what follows, but it’s still an event that brings a smile to his face.

fear accompanied him when he auditioned for project origin, but the experience made him realise something important—what matters is that he stayed true to himself as he performs, gives it very best with every little stomp and twist, pour all he can with each move. and eventually, he’ll be rewarded.

type zero chipped away at his confidence, the pressures of being a replacement were heavy on his shoulders. gradually, he learns that he doesn’t have to deal with it on his own—after all, type zero is a group first and foremost, lifting one another up. it’s fine to be himself, he doesn’t need to pretend to be someone else.

being a part of project origin and legacy boys gave him opportunities he wouldn’t dare imagine even in his wildest dreams. the tour opened his eyes to new heights, brought him out of his shell, introduced him to a greater stage, one he had the privilege to perform on, including a solo performance. boarding a plane hadn’t been easy, minjun never ventured so far before. it’s a terrifying experience, but one he wouldn’t erase.

RELATIONSHIPS a recap of minjun’s connections thus far, from his point of view.

minjun finds himself facing pages of the past when he reunites with ( @lgcinsoo ), a fellow dancer from his old days that he used to admire. to his surprise, the reunion was far from awkward, ending with a promise to hang out whenever they find the time. though they’re walking different paths now, minjun will always be rooting for insoo. he hopes the time they hang out again will come soon.

( @lgcjiho ) had been another plushie collector, and was the person who managed to draw out minjun’s aegyo, causing him to go viral. in a way, minjun owes jiho his thanks, even more so for always seeming so eager to join him in his little tea parties. he believes project origin drew the two even closer, what with their shared fear for airplanes. they comforted one another like friends would, minjun won’t forget that day.

not all has been smooth sailing, he hit stormy waves when he went overboard with ( @lgchunji ). he’s not sure what he had done wrong specifically, but he knows it had to do with his desire to extend his hand even though he had been warned against it. minjun wants to fix things, tape back the string of friendship that he had broken. however, that isn’t his decision to make. either way, he can only hope hunji is thriving with whatever it is he’s doing. hunji helped him realise that there is merit to sticking to his own lane, to not shove himself into situations that doesn’t concern him.

he tried again to help someone else, ( @lgceunji ) this time. seeing her in a seemingly bad state after the prank worried him, and he did what he can do. offer a silent comfort and company, then gifting her one of his prized possessions, a small bear plushie. he intends to check up on her every now and then, even if he’s busy with the tour. he thinks of her as a little sister he wants to protect.

although it took a few days to adjust, he found friends among the type zero members. his worries were eased after his conversation with ( @lgcxking ), and minjun isn’t shy to admit that he admires the other for his determination and strong will. king’s bravery shown throughout the tour, like when king invited him to bungee jump, but also when king challenged himself to take part in babysitting services. he has a lot of respect for king.

among the project origin members, he finds himself adoring ( @lgcharu ), someone he can’t help but feel like he wants to take care of. discussing their characters aided minjun in figuring out how to ease himself into musical acting, something he had never done before. he had a lot of fun with haru throughout the tour as well, spending a part of their chuseok holidays together.

his encounter with ( @lgcemil ) had been one he hadn’t expected, meeting the other in the practice room when he intended to practice into the late night. he can’t hide his concern for emil, and although he doesn’t want to overstep his boundaries, he wants to become a friend that emil can count on whenever he’s feeling a little down.

there are a few special mentions. ( @lgceunho ) bonded with him when they were locked in a practice room, and although minjun would rather not get himself in such a situation ever again, he’s glad he had been stuck with eunho, who is a fun person to be around. panicking with ( @lgcxminseok ) over the april fools prank and playing with the animals in the shelter was a delightful time. during the project origin tour, he had a blast with king, ( @lgcyonghwa ) and ( @lgcmax ). yonghwa seems like a reliable older brother that minjun can count on. max’s bursts of energy draws out his own, there’s never a boring time with max. he didn’t know ( @lgcjueun ) before babysitting services, but as it turns out, taking care of kids together is another good way to bond.

YOON SHINHA ——— forever you are my star

( @lgcshinha ) appeared to him like a storm, wrecking his world in the best way possible. he encountered the enigma that is yoon shinha when he reached out towards the same cat plushie that the other did. it’s an out of the blue suggestion when he said they should share the plushie instead, but he wouldn’t have it any other day. that was the beginning of something beautiful—an encounter with an impact that will last a lifetime.

it’s a little funny when it turns out they ended up as roommates, but that makes it easier for them to take care of their little family. looking back, minjun isn’t sure when exactly things started to change between the two of them, where they drew the line between friendship and something else. it’s hard for minjun not to fall for shinha though, not when shinha took care of him like no one else ever had. the illusion of having a family with the other felt more real as days go by, to the point where minjun is afraid that he’d eventually do what he does best: overstep and ruin everything.

he had never, for the life of him, thought that shinha would feel the same way. and yet, after a long night of rigorous practice and a shared night in their dorm with no one else around, they laid their feelings out on the table. it all happened too fast, but it still felt like it was yesterday. minjun recalled the beating of his heart picking up pace, too quick for him to keep up. he remembers the tears that were in the corner of his eyes, ever the emotional person he was. but they left things up in the air, until...

july 10th, minjun’s birthday and the day the stars aligned. shinha keeps proving himself as someone minjun can’t help but think he doesn’t deserve sometimes. the gifts shinha bestowed upon him that day is enough to make his heart swell, he remembers feeling as if he’ll burst. a mix of emotions coursed through him that day, but overall he can say that he’s elated, he’s in love. that is further confirmed when shinha asked him out, and the tears he usually would try so hard to hide flowed almost endlessly. they became one that day, but minjun feels as if they were always one.

with project origin taking most of his time, he wasn’t granted enough time to spend with his beloved, but he can’t complain—not out loud, at the very least. the tour had been an experience minjun wouldn’t trade for the world, yet he finds himself thinking about shinha whenever he’s alone with his thoughts. texts and video calls weren’t nearly enough, he missed shinha’s presence by his side most of all. it was torture, but he believes in shinha, in their relationship, in them. minjun knows they can go through whatever hardships may come.

seeing shinha again during kcon backstage brought forth the longing he had been feeling the past month. but they’re strong, if they can survive a tour, then they’ll be able to handle worse.

a new trimester begins, and future dreams is knocking on their doors. minjun doesn’t wish for much, but if he could wish for one thing—he wants the both of them to debut, together.

THE ROAD AHEAD

above all, minjun intends to debut. he knows he’s meant to be on stage, and he wants to prove that he’s worth it. he doesn’t know what future dreams will bring, but he’s eager to show off what hwang minjun can do.

there are a lot of people he still wants to befriend, particularly those who will be participating in future dreams. there may be a competitive element, however friendly rivalry isn’t a bad thing.

he’s eager to brush up on his language skills, particularly japanese. with the workshop, that may be achievable. there seems to be a strong market in japan, so he wants to try it out.

despite the fun time he experienced in babysitting services, he’s eager to try out the other two variety shows. he isn’t the best at cooking, but masterchef legacy piqued his interests.

₊ ˟   realizing that she’d be getting to work with king of all people today makes allie that much more excited.  considering king’s busy schedule and allie’s often not lining up with his, it’s been hard to get in touch with him but seeing him on her schedule did everything but put a smile on her face.  truthfully, she’s happy to see him and even more excited for what’s to come for him.  after all, he’s finally reaching his dream of debut  -  an actual debut, and getting to keep on the mantle of type zero to boot.  it’s a lot to congratulate him for.

by the time he arrives, allie is smiles and sunshine.  both her hands wave at him quickly before she holds them up to him and waits for high fives.  “ king ~” she croons happily, keeping a tight hold of his hands and waving them with hers.  “ i’m so happy for you! can you believe we get to work together today? it’s been so long since i’ve even gotten to see you -”

who you meet in heaven

                         all parents damage their children. it cannot be                          helped. youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its                          handlers. some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter                          childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.                                                                                                              m. albom

she feels as if rather than looking after any of the kids, she’s stuck babysitting the other legacy trainees. the dance workshop itself passes with a breeze, for they’re all in their natural element of singing, dancing, and performing to veer too off-track from the day’s schedule, but once they’re left to their own devices—well, let’s just say she’s never seen such chaos at a waterpark.

she’s used to it, though, for it’s akin to some kind of second nature for her to take care of others—no matter how young or old they be. so she gladly reprimands haru for not putting enough sunscreen on before playing in the water, and takes no shame in chastising king and subin because, no, it’s still not okay to be rough-housing with young children, even if it is just three feet of water. 

though, she’ll admit she might’ve gone a bit overboard with arguing with ichika about the sanitation of the water (come on, they’re kids. of course they’re going to pee in the pool, she remembers from their conversation) before yumi and arin steal her away to, quite literally, cool off—and, of course, ahin’s laying in wait to ambush her with a water gun, leaving her soaked and defenseless without her own weapon to retaliate with.

she doesn’t even realize she’s been smiling this whole time.

it’s when she’s taking a break of her own that she finally catches a second to take in the surroundings: the content mothers with a couple or hours or so to breathe, to talk and confide in other soldiers on this battlefield called single motherhood. she overhears their conversations, the short yet distinctive words of praise for the trainees—who treat them like normal people, a concept so strangely unaccepted in everyday society.

it makes her think if that’s how people see her, at least, when she was growing up. not-normal, different, bad. a mostly-single father with a revolving door of stepmothers, barely enough half-siblings to count on one hand—is it really that bad? to have a family that’s so dissimilar from another’s?

maybe she’s reading too into it, or maybe she’s just been pushing the thought off until now. and when she looks at these kids, she wonders if they realize it, too. that it sucks to grow up without a father, just like she did without a mother. 

how funny. she’s not entirely sure who has it worse.

House of Art #003

Wherein Soyoun and @lgcxking​ decorate tote bags in what is likely the most chaotic way possible

If there was a guest Soyoun was most nervous about, it was going to be King. After all, he had the scariest fan girls and if she said something wrong, they can easily demand her blood. That aside, King was a cool guy and clearly not interested in her, so she was relatively comfortable with him. 

“I guess I’m glad I got my royal red carpet back from the laundromat in time for your episode,” Soyoun jokes once King is done introducing himself. “On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your art skills?” Soyoun knows that this is information the fans would like to know, so she tries her best to feed their curiosity. After all, if she were a fan, she’d also be curious. After his answer, Soyoun says, “Before we start decorating tote bags, I’m afraid I have to make a request.” Soyoun can only hope King will humor her on this one. “Before we start doing art, I always ask my guests to do something with me.” To be fair, Soyoun had always wanted to see King do it. “You in? Repeat after me. Let’s get it! Skrrrrrt!”

❥ ° .  CHARACTER UPDATES   ||   MAY ‘20

QUICK OOC NOTE   ‧ ‧ ‧  this is something i used to do on other muses ( modeled after an old friend ), so i’ll be making the addition here. this is a nice way to keep up with your character and their developments - so i definitely recommend ! it’s fun and interesting to see how your muse grows, and since jiao’s 1 MONTH passed here at legacy, i figured now would be a good time to start. i’ll try to do this often, towards the end of the month, but we’ll see how that goes  👍

APRIL 2020: APPEARS ON BATTLE OF KINGS VLIVE

MAY 2020: AUDITIONS FOR SUPPORTING ROLE FOR CRAM SCHOOL

MAY 2020: AWARDED THE ROLE OF YANG XINYI IN CRAM SCHOOL

                                 ♡      TRAINEE LIFE      ♡

NOTES FROM THE PAST (2018): jiao auditioned for legacy entertainment not thinking she would give in. she tried, as she feared the wrath of her mother, but was heartbroken when she was accepted and moved to seoul. this adjustment was difficult for her. while she had experience with korean prior to her move, learning to use it everyday was a challenge. she was also on her own for the first time ever, so she faced some behavioral problems in adjusting to trainee life - lowkey hoping she’d get kicked out and sent back home. however, she was too afraid to do anything to bad so she was mainly just lazy pretty much, maybe the occasional minor rule break. notorious for her flings & love for a good party.

CURRENT: she’s definitely calmed down a lot since her first year as a trainee. after being inspired by nana, she decided to take this training a bit more seriously and committed herself to a healthy routine of training and of course partying on the weekends when she feels like it. during class, she’s  usually still laid back and has never been one to overachieve or be a kiss ass. never skips training like she used to, and focuses a bit more. career wise, she’s not sure what she’s doing.but her mother thinks she’s there to be an actress; jiao would like to keep it that way.

UPDATED SKILL POINTS (  ❖  )

                                ♡      RELATIONSHIPS      ♡

after becoming a trainee, it was unsurprisingly easy for her to socialize and make friends. people like miso, ahin, jongsuk, eunji, jinah, elly, hunji, jueun, shinha, and yeoreum inspire her to be better and house close relationships with the girl. sunhee sparks a drive within her that she didn’t think existed, while jiae makes her want to be irresponsible and reckless. 

jiao is confronted with a misunderstanding between her and seolmi, as well as the risky situation of appearing on king’s v-live. 

she’s got a bad habit for holding grudges, and seungjae was unlucky enough to find this out in the most odd situation. 

jiao kinda sucks with any romantic issue - as seen in her constant string of flings (old and new), alex, and dana who's feelings for her seem to fly right over jiao’s head. she’s always been told to focus on her career rather than relationships and affection, but somehow her relationship with mike has become confusing, at least for her. friend with benefits ended up being way too confusing for her, and she’s kind of lost on what to do.

her mother has come to see her once since her move to seoul, and jiao is disheartened by the fact. at little homesick and missing her mother, the woman is becoming curious as to why it seems she has dropped on her mother’s priority list.

[lgcyonghwa]

⤷「close call.」

@lgcxking

The sound of alarm made him stumble midstep during dance practice, but thankfully, he was able to catch and straighten himself. Yonghwa fell easily in line as he was instructed, heading down the staircase with his fellow trainees. 

If he was not so tired from the long day of practice, perhaps he would have reacted more to the potential fire. His mind began drifting even as his body continued to move, blissfully blank for the first today since dawn. 

A loud oh shit somewhere behind him caught his attention and Yonghwa whipped around to see absolute chaos. Someone must have stumbled and attempted to use the person in front of him as a means of support. Unfortunately, caught unprepared, the person in front of him wasn’t able to act as a pillar and caused the domino effect instead. 

"Get out of the way!” Yonghwa called out to give people in front of him a better chance but knew it was already too late for himself. 

Sure enough, the collision occurred. The other trainee fell on him in full and Yonghwa, through his sheer force of will, managed to not swear. Public image, he reminded himself, even under extreme circumstances. “Are you okay?” Yonghwa asked, brushing his bangs aside so he could get a closer look at the other trainee. Oh, how he wished he didn’t do that because the sight of Tsai King’s face so close up made him die a little inside. 

“Didn’t break a leg, did you?” He whispered, voice still holding concern, only now purely artificial. “That would be so terrible.”
