♡closed starter for @wssoohyun♡
park liked to think that social skills were one thing that he had plently of. after all, there was a reason why he had ended up becoming the leader of meta. he surely had some sort of charm, most likely carried over from his younger days where he spent hours on end greeting people at his father’s church. if anything, it taught him how to smile pretty and carry on a conversation about the most trivial of things, not matter how much he hated it. usually, park held himself together well enough. but there was something about the boy who was standing across the room that had every ounce of common sense in parks head flying out the window faster than he could blink. the pair had crossed paths before, never officially meeting. but park had seen his face more than enough times to be fully convinced that soohyun had to have been one of god’s favourites to end up with a face that beautiful.
usually their passings were quick. paths crossed back stage at music shows and nothing more than that. but this time was different. there were no obligations that were going to carry either of them away and they were meant to be enjoying themselves. perhaps it was the best time to strike up a conversation. finally offering an introduction to the boy that so often caught his eye.
wandering across the room, park approached soohyun trying to look as cool as collected as he possibly could. he smiled, offering one of the glasses of punch that he held tightly in his hand. “hey. care for a drink?” he bit the inside of his cheek, watching soohyun in anticipation.
To say Soohyun was an idol with very little interest in the industry outside his immediate scope of work would be an understatement. Did he enjoy a new release every now and then? Sure. Did he do the bare minimum and look up any groups they would have direct interactions with on a variety show? Sure, Naver was his best friend. However, Soohyun was confident enough in his own lack of knowledge of nearly anything K-Pop to let his other members take the wheel when it came to cover dances or fanboying over some senior who had ‘changed the trajectory of their life’ or whatever. This is all to say, Soohyun doesn’t feel particularly terrible when he’s faced with another idol and can’t place their name, group, or seniority.
Some faces were memorable enough, like the meathead that kept staring at him whenever they were in the same room. Soohyun hadn’t noticed him the first few times, until it became abundantly clear that those big eyes were staring unblinkingly at him every single time. Soohyun was no stranger to being looked at, and the expression on the muscle pig’s face wasn’t one that was unfamiliar to him.
Up close, the man was handsome, with a gummy smile and just tall enough for Soohyun to tilt his head up slightly to make eye contact. Just his type, to be fair. He wrapped a hand around the offered glass, his hand resting on top of the stranger’s. “Sure. I don’t usually take things from strangers.”
