TYPE ZERO MISSION

explore with tz (2/2): parker, daeho, hmu to plot!

NON-EVENT THREDS

“hello everyone, i am type zero’s maknae dowoon” there were cheers, more than he remembered from the last time he performed at the cafe. as he looked around the cafe, he could see that people recognized him--more smiles are given by the audience. even some excited jitters that he recognized as a the intense happiness of seeing your idol in person. he knew what that was like and it brought a bright smile to his face, and a slight blush. he knew that excitement well and still felt it sometimes, but it was still a bit weird for him to be the cause--though getting less and less weird. “today i’ll be performing a few songs, with a theme. which is...” he introduced and then rapidly hit his hands on his thighs, creating an a drum roll that people in the cafe followed in turn. “osts! all of these songs are from some of my favorite dramas, but not all--that would make this setlist hours.” he joked with a small chuckle. “first, a couple songs about the early feelings of love.”

since he was alone and figured footage of him just walking won’t do much good, he spoke his thoughts aloud as he walked down qilou old street with the camera man next to him. “so daeho-hyung and i’s letter is x--which is easy to remember because it’s just a cross, like this” he made a large x with his arms. “now what starts with x...this is hard, i can only think of an x-ray.” he decided that rather than trying to figured out every word that started with x, he would just keep on the move and hope he came across something with an x on it. he and the staff assigned to him walked around the street for a bit, chatting and trying to find an x of some sort--dowoon was getting desperate.

entering the room, dowoon was nervous. this was a big opportunity for him and he wanted to do well. acting was one of his side goals (outside of being an idol) so he wanted to take every opportunity he could to act. he felt fairly confident in his acting abilities, he been complimented on them, but this was a comedy and he didn’t think of himself as particularly funny. he could crack a joke every now and then, and he had been on a couple variety shows in the past, but he had never felt confident. still, he was determined to try!

when he walked in, he bowed and introduced himself politely, as well as his imagined character. he had worked fairly hard in his free time on who he wanted to portray, and thought that choi hangil could be a funny character if given the right writing.

once he explained all he could about his character, the director gave him his assigned scenario. getting into characters, he began to explain his plan. “well at least it wasn’t my fault this time—not that i would ever do something that idiotic…well maybe that once, but that was right when i’m started. i’m a seasoned professional now.” the director asked when he had started, “a month ago.”

he spoke with unearned confidence, giving an attitude that he knew exactly what to do and how to do it. he smirked and smiled as he spoke, doing his best to ooze confidence and a nonchalant attitude. “but, i would get in front of whoever we’re presenting to and lay on the charm, i mean who could rest this face?” he pointed to himself, hiding the cringe that was inside him. “then, i would go to whoever lost the files—which was definitely NOT me—and give them a piece of my mind. how dare they screw this up for ME? have they no sympathy?? it’s hard enough having to balance coming to work and a social life, now i actually have to work while i’m here? terrible…”

NAME

wasn’t entirely sure how to decide this, but dowoon being the loyal family man he is--he’d want his character to be in honor of one of his family members. so he thinks the name CHOI HANGIL would fit, choi coming from his mother’s fam name and hangil being the name of his late father.

PERSONALITY

dowoon wants to really show off that he can do this acting thing, so he’d like to play a character that was completely different from himself. dowoon has this sort of charm and quality about him that seems to make a fair amount of people like him at first glance. so, he’d like a character that wasn’t so easily likeable. not necessarily a full-scale evil villain since it is a workplace comedy, but someone that is sort of OBNOXIOUS, GREEDY, and OVERLY-SELF CONFIDENT--but hides it all under a CUTE PERSONA to get what he wants. the opposite of dowoon, that tries his best to stay true to his genuine self. hangil believes himself to be destined for greatness, and this job/workplace is just an annoying stepping stone towards that dream.

BACKSTORY

once again going on the track of being unlike dowoon, hangil hasn’t worked for anything a day in his life. he comes from a RICH background of parents that have done anything and everything he asks. they paid for him to get into the best university they could, despite him having TERRIBLE GRADES and PARTYING more than he ever studied. however, he did something SCANDOLOUS (something that might have gotten him put in him in jail, but also silly to be played for laughs) that his parents once again paid to get him out of--but his father required he find some sort of job and pay them back, or he was getting cut off for good. he likely been HANDED THIS JOB by some sort of connections and/or by charming his way through an interview. because of dowoon’s age/image he’s probably a NEWER HIRE, possibly an intern just using this job to gain experience for their resume. 

QUIRKS & INTERESTS

hates the break room so he can be done eating his lunch in his car (a la gregory from abbott elementary).

he has an intense fear of birds, believes them to be the spawn of the devil.

outside of work he enjoys partying, drinking, and self-care.

UNDER STRESS

snapshoot.

daeho had always told himself that he wanted to explore new hobbies however, during this exploration he had found that hiking was not going to be the new hobby that he would add to his list of skills. for someone that did a lot of cardio hiking up this hill was a huge struggle, “very intense!” daeho repeated with a huff. however, as they made their way up daeho did have to admit that there were some delightful views that he was happy to see.

“10 minutes?!” daeho almost forgot that they were in a competition. but even if daeho was tired he was more than excited to get started  “alright let’s do this!” he with a bright smile that was still hiding his pain. when dowoon called out his name, daeho turn to look at the flower that he mention. squatting down next to flower he head up a peace sign and smile as he waited for the other to snap the photo. “where can I see it?” he asked walking over the younger. “wait, we don’t have time i’ll look at it later!” he said before walking pass the younger boy 

“let’s take a look over here! there’s bond to be a lot more field of flower over here. next photo you’ll be in it okay?”

“perfect hyung!” he cheered as he snapped the photo. thrown into action by daeho’s reminder of time, dowoon nodded and replied with equal fervor, “right! we have to focus!” he replied with a determined look on his face. dowoon wasn’t a very competitive person, but he knew he did not want to stay at the cheap hotel...this was the closest thing he had to a proper vacation in awhile, he wanted to enjoy it.

“that hike was intense.” dowoon groaned as he found his bearings and they settled in the rainforest. he didn’t expect how physical this show was going to be. he wished he had done some gym time before they left. “so now we have to take photos of different flowers right? how long do we have?” he asked for confirmation. “10 minutes? that shouldn’t be too hard should it hyung.” he figured they had a leg up since there were two of them and only one of parker. 

HOLLYS CAFE VLOG FILIMING: solo COUNT: 737 words

his first solo gig. no fellow anything--just a crew and whatever charisma a much more confident dowoon had convinced the casting agents he had. he knows he shouldn’t be as nervous as he is as he arrives at the filming location. they chose him out of however many people had auditioned, saw promise in whatever he had done. he remembered how excited he was for this audition--thought it was made for him when he read the casting call. 

PILLOW FORT ft. @lgcminjxe

so dowoon hadn’t been the best (insert whatever word they were using to call themselves because god forbid dowoon could just nut up and ask him to be his boyfriend) to minjae lately. he had a fairly solid excuse--comebacks! a rookie had to be on top of things if they wanted to succeed and so career was coming before everything...even the person he really cared about. and he felt bad! like really bad...minjae deserved better, and he knew that. 

somehow minjae hadn’t given up on dowoon yet so he onto the hope that dowoon could become better for him. so--after getting permission and scheduling it on one of his days off--dowoon showed up on minjae’s door step, sort of like a lost puppy with take out in his hands. typically dowoon would show up with homemade food...but that meant less time with minjae and he just wanted to see the other’s stupidly handsome face. deciding that food wasn’t enough, dowoon decided (and politely asked minjae for permission again) that they needed a blanket fort if they were going to enjoy a proper netflix date. if they couldn’t be in a movie theater, they might as well make it fun!

finally settled with food (that was only a little cold, dowoon had made fast work with their comfy little fort) with plenty of blankets and soft things but not a lot of space between the two of them, “thanks for letting me ruin your living room,” dowoon said with a warm smile as he laid back on a soft pillow and grabbed the remote. they had set up so the tv was still watchable...maybe a bit of a fire hazard but they were awake so it was relatively safe. he scrolled through the options, nose scrunched, “so what are we thinking? disney’s always safe...ooh i haven’t gotten a chance to finish once upon a small town. i started it when it was airing and then future dreams caused all the chaos and never finished it.” 

nathan just laughed - a full-on, thrown-his-head-back, hearty laugh at dowoon’s comment. “you do have a point there. but my growth spurt happened in high school, too - i’m sure there’s at least one student-giant in this school to save us from the embarrassment,” he added with a smile and shake of his head.

and then he laughs, again. man, dowoon just cracks him up. “and that year is a big difference, kid!” nathan counters as he sits up himself, reassuringly patting the other on the back. “we’ve all been there, man. but if it makes you feel better, as old as we may be, we’re not as old as the hyungs - well, err, not at the same time, at least.”

“did you really? i’m still waiting on my growth spurt...” he joked. he wasn’t the shortest among them and he was taller than his sister now, so he wasn’t super insecure about his height. "once we get to meet the students, we should try to find their nathan, yeah?”
