#midas spring fling

오대원 / WONIL — 𝐃𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘

opting for a more lowkey vibe, daewon and his stylist agreed to keeping it clean-cut and classy (important for some much-needed, good impressions): a ted baker watch from his aunt, and a pair of ysl glasses—all with a neatly tailored suit and tie.

hi hi hello !! sending out a plot call for the spring festival event before i forget.... 🌸🌷 please interact w/ this post if you'd be interesting in planning a lil thread together w/ areum—especially if your muse is also going to jinhae—and i'll come & find u posthaste ! 💨

[swandivers]

hi! as per usual, i've fallen behind on replies & plotting - but i'm locking in rn and putting my best foot forward. if you're interested in writing with any of my characters for the event, please either like this post for me to come to you to plot beforehand or leave an emoji in the comments (+ feel free to specify from which of my characters and for which of urs if u want!) for a starter.

daon will be in jinhae from mar 28 to apr 2 for jinhae cherry blossom festival (performing + judging the kpop dance competition), then will be performing at the seokchon lake fest with remedy. he will also be attending dazed korea's anniversary party.

potential threads: daon and your muse are interested in the same singular item @ the flea market... what happens next? (jinhae) / daon and your muse are on the cherry blossom night tour together (jinhae) / your muse is volunteering for the adoption event and they don't want to have to ask daon to leave but they're pretty sure he's not going to adopt this cat and he's preventing other potential adopters from meeting it (jinhae) / etc etc... anything fun and unusual and/or high-energy. amusement park threads...

jihan will be performing at dazed korea's anniversary party with phaze, and getting obliterated thereafter. there are no other certain plans for him at the moment, but i'm open to a friend convincing him to attend seokchon lake fest or everland tulip fest!

potential threads: your muse sees jihan becoming increasingly more wasted and feels a sense of... obligation?... to protect him from himself (and the press). they're t... trying... to keep him from getting too carried away (dazed kr party) / your muse is sharing a platter of appetizers with jihan, except he's eating more than his fair share and talking about nothing but himself (dazed kr party) / etc etc... anything where jihan's just a pos disappointment and your muse has to deal with it or threads where your muse gets him out of his own head (everland? seokchon? anyone?)

saetbyeol will be performing at everland tulip fest and will be attending allure korea's charity auction. it's likely that she'll check out seokchon lake fest at some point too!

potential threads: your muse is probably the only one in the room more uncomfortable than saetbyeol. they stick it out together and m... maybe forge a new friendship? (charity auction) / saetbyeol asks the fortune teller about love and is pretty sure the soulmate described to her is your muse... uh... w.. wanna watch the fireworks? (open to any gender, obviously doesn't have to/isn't intended to go anywhere LOL) (everland) / etc etc... would love some chance encounters that lead to new friendships, or interactions that can strengthen pre-existing friendships!

𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐁𝐄 𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓— ↪ FROM ( 이도담 ) TO ( OPEN ) * note, limited to dazed anniv. party.

this dazed anniversary party is not exactly an event that a member of sodapop seamlessly fits into, but if you ask dodam, he'd say that, of them all, he's one of the only ones who can make it work. with his increasing proximity to high fashion, his evolving public image, and his effortlessly expensive aura, it's only natural that he finds it easier to rub elbows with those in attendance here, as opposed to anyplace else. sure, it's somewhat intimidating to be one of the younger faces in the crowd, but thankfully, a shot (or two... maybe three) of his favorite peach soju has killed any unease that's infiltrated his system; loosening his limbs, and his lips, in a way that's not out of control just yet, but could get there if he's not careful. it's a slippery slope.

he's glad that the foundation and concealer painted across his skin is doing a decent job at covering up the delicate flush that's decorating the apples of his cheeks, and he hopes he remembers to thank his makeup artist for opting for a higher coverage this time. they clearly know what they're doing. any sign of him being even the slightest bit inebriated at this soiree would not only reflect badly on him, but it would also cast a shadow on sodapop, too. recently, ahseop had a run-in with distraught fans for showing face at an after-party, so it's clear that their unfortunately juvenile fan-base are prone to getting their feelings hurt by what he believes are menial offenses.

dodam digresses, though. it's his curse for becoming successful, he's certain of that. for now, he mingles, and flashes his signature smile, and glitters around the atmosphere like the sprite he is; adoring the attention he's being given from all his seniors. after awhile, however, he feels the warmth of his buzz start fading, so he returns to the bar for a pick-me-up, and as he waits for the bartender to slide a shot-glass his way, he turns to the person beside him and beams. he's not able to make out who they are right away, but that doesn't stop him from striking up a conversation.

he's an enfp, after all.

"phaze was great tonight, right?" he begins, sighing sweetly. "they're all so hot... like, i don't understand how the stage underneath them didn't melt because of it." despite the decrease in alcohol-induced elation, he's clearly still loose-lipped... whoops. "blue and chaea were okay, too, i guess. i... wasn't really paying attention, i won't lie." it's then when he's given his vice, and before he tosses it back in one gulp, he looks to the other once more. "oh, do you want one, too? it's peachy... like me!"

dazed korea 17th anniversary party

an ode to hedi slimane's last collection as the creative director of celine, sprinkled in with bits and pieces of her own personality. eunbin sheds some layers of angelix, emerging into the party with more of the 'elegant / actress' image that ydh has crafted for her. less florals, more "suh eunbin."

feeling pink -- with @witheredflowxrs

they're off stage. the cheers are still ringing somewhere in the distance, caught in the branches of cherry blossoms and echoing against the back of her skull like a second heartbeat—but they’re off stage.

and for now, that’s enough.

heejin leans against the railing, one arm slung loosely over it as she tilts her head toward the lake. lights shimmer across the water, pink and gold and soft white, like the whole festival’s still glowing just for them. it’s pretty. a little surreal, if she lets herself think about it too hard. so she doesn’t.

not yet.

instead, she glances sideways, eyes drifting toward the person next to her with a kind of quiet awareness. “hey,” she says, voice low, steady, familiar—like they’ve already had half this conversation before.

“you did so well.” it’s not said in that empty, automatic way people throw around post-stage. she means it. and not just about the performance.

she doesn’t name it directly—not the pressure hana’s been under since debut, not the way she always seems to be doing just a little more, smiling just a little wider, trying just a little harder. but it’s all there in the way heejin offers her a small water bottle and lets the silence stretch comfortably between them.

“we held it down today,” she adds, lips curling into something fond, a little tired but proud. “even if the confetti nearly took me out at the end.”

a beat passes.

“you hungry?” she asks suddenly, glancing toward the stalls in the distance. “i saw a stand selling these ridiculous cherry blossom donuts earlier. probably too sweet. probably pink all the way through. you want to go find them with me?”

gonna do a little two-for-one special—hey everyone, i know i'm still catching up on general plotting messages, but please like this if you're interested in plotting for the spring festivals event, and leave a comment if you'd like a starter (limiting this to two✌️for now)! daewon will be at the jinhae cherry blossom festival performing a medley of a few of his top career hits (only those “safe” enough for this stage lol). you can also find him at the animal shelter adoption event. his attendance at other events, though, will largely depend on plotting, but he will attend dazed magazine's anniversary party, and allure magazine's charity event. better yet, his dog is visiting and will be accompanying him for a good chunk of this festival (where allowed)!

dazed anniversary party with @witheredflowxrs

jihan has had too much to drink. it’s typical behavior, amplified; the long stint of sobriety has made him come crashing down harder than before. he’s a heavy-headed, casual type of drunk - a man putting on an unconvincing act. he doesn’t realize how drunk he really is, not even when his vision blurs as he turns his head or when he stands up from his seat at the bar and he feels closer to the floor than he usually does. he just feels good. when he approaches ryu hana (the sole reason he’d gotten up from his seat, as he’d spotted her some twenty feet away), it’s with an uncharacteristic smile - all teeth and dimples.

“hana,” he says, dragging the end of her name out. he has a half-filled drink in his hand and an open tab; the night is young. “are you having fun?” he wonders, unaware of the dominoes toppling as he speaks - how she’s too nice of a girl to turn a blind eye to this disaster in the making, how he’s unwittingly changing the trajectory of her night. he looks at her and just keeps on smiling. she’s got that kind of effect on him even when he’s sober; an endearing junior, a friend who’s begun to feel more like family. usually, though, he’d keep his composure with her - there are too many years between them for him to act carelessly and pull her into his messes. usually, he’d be looking out for her.

currently? he’s grinning like a madman, ears red and comfortably warm from the alcohol, oblivious to any curious photographers with their cameras. yeah, he feels good.
