hold me tight (or don’t).

♟ starter for @tenrk​ !

they grow closer with each day that passes, or so that’s how it feels to sicheng. although the kiss did make things slightly more complicated for a while, and some of sicheng’s nights are still occupied by constantly thinking about it and replaying the moment in his head, he feels like they’ve mostly moved on from that (whether or not he thinks that’s a good thing, he isn’t sure). he wants to spend every waking moment in ten’s presence and whenever something fun or exciting rolls around, he always wants to share it with his roommate. he’s content, light, and even happy as they walk side-by-side, the back of his hand occasionally brushing against ten’s while he tries not to focus on how much he wants to take and hold it.

“are you hungry?” he looks over at the older boy, a soft smile on his lips. “if you’re not yet, we could try to play a game and see if we can win something...” there are other things that call out to him, too, such as the tarot reading tent, but he wonders if he’d obsess over whatever he hears if he does something like that. he isn’t entirely sure what all of it is about, but that doesn’t stop him from fearing the outcome.

plastic flutes,

@rklisa tw: alcohol !

this was such a welcome distraction. as the cool breeze of the summer air fans her hair, she wonders for a brief moment why they do not do this that often. there was so much delight to be taken out of just peacefully hanging out, body lounged carelessly in a soft blanket, a littler of good food surrounding them, and the best type of live entertainment. even the chatter of the people around them does very little to deter her good spirits. after all, they did manage to find a semi-secluded spot and so the noise wasn’t all that bad.

then she remembers their training schedule and the amount of work it took the both of them to prepare this spread and suddenly, she thinks going on a picnic is better off as a once in a few months thing.

“let’s serve this champagne now while it’s still cold.” she says a little giddily, taking out their choice of beverage from the bag. the plastic flutes were not quite as fancy as the glass ones they have back home but given the precarious environment, it would have to do. “hold the flutes, i’ll pop it.” jisoo directs her companion, a conspiratorial smile on her lips. after many years of doing this, she’s already quite the professional. in just seconds, she was able to open the bottle without much fuss. the pop of the cork coming off bringing a triumphant smile to her lips. “oh, that’s a beauty.” she says as she pours one glass, then another. “cheers to being able to take a break.”

Whether you are looking for ways to keep yourself entertained during the warm days or just need a bit of vitamin d in your body, you won't want to miss the event the city hall prepared at Yeouido Hangang Park during the weekend of 22nd and 23rd to celebrate summer and attract more people to the parks. With a mix of outdoor activities for all ages to enjoy, the whole park will be prepared to host a big picnic event from 2pm to 10pm where the guests can spread their mats on the grass, bring their own food and beverages and spend the whole day there either relaxing or enjoying the activities. 

Other than bicycle (couple and solo) and swan paddle boat rental that the park already offers, those who don’t want to pay extra money or exercise to have some fun in the sun, other activities will be happening through the whole duration of the event. Among the attractions there'll be carnival booths with games like balloon darts and ring toss with fun prizes, airbrush tattoos and tarot reading tents, and a small fine-arts and craft fair with local artists. The highlight of the weekend will be a busking session with BOL4 on Saturday and Minseo on Sunday when the night falls and paper lanterns light up the park for the music session.  

Although packing your own basket is recommended and encouraged, some food trucks with snacks can be found there in case you can’t even prepare a sandwich. There’s no entrance fee for the event and guests may stay as long as they please, as well as leave and come back freely. 

Pack your picnic basket and don’t forget to apply sunscreen!

* Idols are instructed to not attend this kind of event as they can not ensure their safety and comfort.

For +2 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, write a 250+ words solo or four-post thread of your muse participating in the event. For +2 CHARISMA POINTS, write a four-post thread with a muse you haven’t interacted with yet. Muns have until midnight EST at the end of Wednesday, September 2nd to meet the requirements for points. Threads may be continued after the deadline, but after September 2nd points can no longer be collected. Please tag all your posts related to the event with #rkpicnic. Have fun!

victory song

       with @rkxric

knowing that he wasn’t the richest person on earth, felix should seriously reconsider spending a lot of money in this one carnival booth. it was hard, though, when there was this really cute teddy bear—with a pink bow tie!—just waiting for him to take it home. admittedly, he had been missing all his shots somehow, not a single ring landed on the small stands, merely knocking them a little and that was it.

he was better at games! he managed a lot of kills in LOL, and that was within a few months of playing. what’s so different about carnival games? sure, he wasn’t shooting anything, but he wasn’t faring well on that carnival booth either. he was about ready to say goodbye to his precious teddy bear before he spots someone familiar in the corner of his eyes, slaying the balloon and dart booth.

“oh hey, it’s you!” he said, manners flowing out the window until he catches himself. “i mean, lovely day today, eric. how are you? and how are you winning?” there’s no way felix just sucks at this.

help a little

Step… step… step… every step that Xiao took was taken carefully, why? Because simply Xiao was carrying too much, his arms and backpack were filled, how he got it on the train and all the way here was still a mystery. Normally Xiao would never carry these many things anywhere, he didn’t find a reason for that, but there of course was one person making him carry all these things, his girlfriend. She was always like this, and though Xiao would never admit it he hated it. What was we he even carrying? At this point he had forgotten most of it, he was carrying food and drinks (which he found useless to carry because they could’ve just bought food here) and he was carrying blankets, the rest he had forgotten.

Xiao was about to give up and just put everything down and go home, though he knew that would make his girlfriend very upset, but just as he was about to do that a stranger approached him, ‘do you need help’ they asked and Xiao was more than relieved. “Yeah I do, thank you so much” Xiao said putting the things down and stretching his back.

waiting for her friends and taking a look around the various things set up in the park, yuzu felt fully back in her persona 5 aesthetics. a new area unlocked to explore, she just walked around, interacting shortly with all available locations to find out what they would offer her. 

the tarot booth seemed definitely like something she wanted to check out, if only to see if her representative major arcana was still the fool. 

right now however she continued to wander, spotting a guy standing by himself under a tree who admittedly looked like a potential confidant disguised as an npc. yet his looks made him stand out just enough for yuzu to detect that he was approachable and potentially had more than two lines of generated dialogue.

“hey! waitin’ for someone?”

.into the future

starter for @kdyxrk !

the sun’s shining down on them as they head towards the tarot car reading tent set up across the park. eric was the one who suggested they go for a tarot card reading to ask about their futures. it had always interested eric, and he was wondering whether he could subtley slip in a question about his potential with romance without it being embarrassing.

“you excited?” he asks dongyoung, linking his arm through his as they walk, his other hand lifting his cup of ice water to his lips to sip it through the long straw. “can’t wait to find out if i’ll be famous or not.” he jokes, knowing full well there’s no chance of that ever happening. the best he can look forward to is a comfy nine to five office job with good benefits and a nice pension. hopefully he’ll have enough for a comfortable sized apartment and enough to support a small family in the future. it’s a lot to hope for, but it’s better than accepting the reality, which is that he’ll more than likely never have any of that.

“anything you wanna ask about? romance? career? health?” he’s curious as to what dongyoung’s natural interest in his fortune will be - some want to know about their potential for wealth, some want to know whether they’ll have good health, and some, like eric, secretly want to know if they’ll ever date someone.

though she’s ecstatic about the new changes in her trainee life, that didn’t mean she wasn’t upset about them as well. don’t get her wrong, it was great being able to have a chance to debut as an idol. hell, mina would like to say she’s often found herself dreaming about it. but, of course, even if she did get to see familiar faces (chungha, gahyeon, yoorim, yuzu) more often than she did before, she’d have to give up being able to be in more evaluations with daniel. no longer would she be able to go to him for help as a new trainee anymore. he was practically her way of getting through these months easily because she could rely on him. if she had help, she could simply go to him for his aid. 

but, of course, they’re still able to talk with each other. after months of usually interacting the most with him on sunday nights, she wasn’t going to let him be mina-free that easily. the picnic was the perfect opportunity to get in some bonding time with her brother. and all goes good, but mina, being the bratty little sister that she is, has to play around somehow. so she makes a bet with him that if she finishes the entire basket of food before they even get to the event, he’d have to get an airbrush tattoo with whatever mina wanted it to say (”kang mina is the coolest and i smell like socks”).  and if she didn’t, vice-versa. 

so, with her stomach full of food and a look of disappointment on her face, she sighs as she approaches the artist, her brother by her side. the artist asks if she has a request with reference and she shakes her head. “oh no. uh. i lost a bet with my brother, so i was wondering if you could give me a tattoo of whatever he wants it to say?” she pauses before looking back at him. “oppa,” she starts, “what do you want it to say?”
