baby's breath

@mmjunsu​ !

won iseul is not a crybaby.

sure, he may have cried when changmin and jiyi would run off and play without him, saying that he was far too little to join them. and sure, he may have cried when his parents wouldn’t let him keep the niffler he had found on his way home from school, and he had to be consoled for hours on end. 

however, he refuses to cry at this.

he trips on the way to history of magic, scrolls of parchment flying everywhere before scattering on the floor. or, a more accurate way to put it, is that someone sticks out their foot to make him fall. usually he would shake it off and consider it an accident ( his gangly limbs make it too easy after all ), but a sense of dread fills his stomach when he hears familiar snickers echo in the otherwise empty hall. 

it’s only been a month into school, and iseul thought that things would be different. that high school would be nothing like middle school where he would get picked on for the littlest things such as for being a goody two shoes, for saying sorry too much, even for breathing. quickly, though, he's come to realize that his life is just continuing to follow the same exact trajectory, and that nothing he could do would ever make it change its course.

his cheeks flush hotly with shame, and he can feel the telltale prick of tears threatening to spill over. he finds himself blinking rapidly to make them go away, head ducked down and bangs obscuring his eyes as he begins to pick up his belongings. 

iseul reaches to grab his homework, but a shoe stops him by stomping down onto his essay. he shrinks back, the rest of his books and things held protectively against his chest. he bites the inside of his cheek, voice caught in his throat and words already cracking.

@mmserin​ !

as a prefect, patrolling the school to enforce curfew was just one of the few jobs that were given to them, and iseul took his role very seriously. 

well, as serious as one could be when the one in question had yet to actually memorize the layout of yosul and instead frequently found themselves stuck on a moving staircase when trying to get from point a to point b. by now, it was just part of his routine. after reorienting himself, iseul is definitely more than a little late getting back to the original area he was supposed to be in, but thankfully there seems to be no one roaming the halls tonight.

he’s sort of relieved about it- not because he hates confrontation or anything ( which is only a tiny bit of a lie anyways )-, but because the sooner that he can finish his duties, the sooner he can actually get started on that transfiguration homework he’s been putting off doing for a while.

but as soon as he rounds the corner he spies a student emerging from the baek ho dorms, and upon closer inspection, recognizes the one and only ryu serin. magical beasts extraordinaire, 7th year, and ( most importantly! ) the coolest girl he knows. iseul finds himself waving to her shyly before he closes the gap between them in a few quick, long strides ( if only so that the older girl could hear him speak without having to strain her ears ).

“ah, noona...!” he greets, polite as always, but with a hint of fondness leaking through his tone. a quizzical look crosses over his features then, and he tilts his head to the side slightly as he takes in serin’s wide, worried eyes coupled with her frazzled nature. his original question of “what are you doing up so late?”  is instead tactfully changed to:

won baby!!! his older sibs are @mmchangmin and @mmjiyi who are definitely a 100 more times cooler than him b/c they have blonde hair but he’s Boring and just kept his hair black 😔👊 he’s extremely sorta insecure abt the fact that both of his sibs are happy extroverts and he’s just... Not. very shy!!! hates talking to strangers even though his parents force him to!!! if u didn’t know him well you would think he’s aloof n mean but rly he’s just a babie who can’t even talk to girls

not the smartest but is v determined to do well in school and tries hard in everything that he does!! the type of person to ask questions after class ( but only b/c he’s scared of appearing dumb in front of his peers!! ) and spends way 2 much time in the library. ( also place #1 where he hides from his bullies lol ) 

he’s involved in some extracurriculars such as: 

prefect :~)  iseul’s a stickler for rules!!! don’t ask him to bend them for u b/c he won’t!! lowkey played himself tho since he just gets picked on more... haha... plz do not tell either of his sibs this :// he’s a dummy that won’t stand up for himself but will for other ppl in need?? otherwise ₕₑ ⱼᵤₛₜ ₜₐₗₖₛ ₗᵢₖₑ ₜₕᵢₛ and suffers silently

quidditch editor for the yosul ilbo! he’s not even that into quidditch but he basically learned all that he knows from jiyi so he gotta be useful with that knowledge somewhere!! catch him @ all the games... doesn’t play since he’s not really competitive but he is a natural at flying ( he learned from the BEST after all !!! )

part of the magical creatures club!! can’t take the class yet so he’s in the next best thing :”) ever since he was little he’s thought about being a magizoologist or even a dragonologist but tbh he’ll probably be forced into the family business once he becomes old enough so it’s just a pipe dream of his. he has a pink pygmy puff that is constantly rolling away from him and getting lost!!

doesn’t have that much house pride tbh?? he doesn’t think he’s v similar to his housemates at all or that he even belongs in baek ho so he’s very :((( about it b/c what if the gat made a mistake?? he’s rly worried since all the wons atm are in ju jak so a v Troubled boy,,, 

anyways classic plots i would Die for:

childhood friends!!! someone who has stuck w/ him thru the yrs not for the ~ won fame ~ but b/c yknow they geniunely like hanging out w iseul... alternatively a best friend PLZ!! he has like two friends and u have the spot closest to his heart

a hyung/noona to dote on him and he’s always like “stop it ur embarrassing me” but the truth is that he’s a baby that needs to be babied

or u used to babysit him and he’s MORTIFIED... pls do not tell anyone about the time he cried ten times watching finding nemo it would ruin his cold reputation

he’s too young to be in love but u have a crush on one of his sibs and u want him to wingman and he’s just like. haha what

ur convinced he’ll be gr8 at quidditch so u keep pestering him abt it... leave him Alone

idk i don’t have that many ideas mostly b/c i prefer to hash out dynamics in dms!!! hmu plz :(
