some tadbits about d05 / iseul:

very much an outcast (or at least, he’s begun to believe himself to be). people tend to stray from talking to him due to the fact he’s a blunt guy who will humble you if needed. many if not most prefer his twin brother—jiwon, over iseul. not that it bothers him …….. that much ……………… until it follows him like an abandoned dog even after jiwon’s death. iseul is also extremely perceptive and good at reading people / situations, which is an advantage for his evol. pspsps please give me someone who either likes a challenge or is willing to annoy the hell out of iseul so bad he cracks !!!!!

there’s endless rumors surrounding iseul’s selection and acceptance into unicorns. mostly about how he may have pulled strings to join through his brother. but in truth, the hwa twins are neither short on skill or talent to each make it on their own.

iseul would have been selected to join unicorns due to his intelligence, adaptability and sharp perception. meanwhile jiwon would have been chosen more-so for his abilities to perform exceptionally well in things like combat. in short, jiwon was born with the brawns & iseul was born with the brains.

jiwon, even though he believed that having iseul by his side was best, the younger of two did not return the brotherly sentiment. because with being side-by-side with his brother, this made jiwon inclined to push him further to make iseul stand in his shadow; becoming an extension of him despite different positions.

as for his reluctance to take on actual missions on the field, after operation pandia — iseul lost jiwon as collateral damage. after having lived a life so closely related to jiwon & everything he did, dying on the field is one of the things iseul does Not want.

a literal simmering pot of hatred, regret, anger. not his brother’s keeper. a mother who wished he were a daughter and not a son. “i am whole again. i wear no mask. and i hate everything.” stranger in his own skin. come fix him or make him worse 🤓☝️

like a sheet of paper. iseul can count on his fingers exactly how many people he has trusted over the duration of his existence and though it may not be a full two hands───iseul knows very well that trust is an act of vulnerability and lying on the floor belly-up results in betrayal.

the first-time trusting someone is identical to that of a clean, un-ruined blank canvas. it is a privilege before it is anything horrible, something ugly. after trust is broken, the piece of paper is scrunched up at the same time. and the second process of trusting someone leaves them with the part that never smooths out ever again, carrying the burden to repair the fragments. but in the case they fail───then the third will be nothing short of being ripped apart & there won’t be anything that can repair something so fragile, even with two warm hands / even with a pure heart.

iseul can’t recall a time where hard work from pressure came on his own accord. wherever possible, he likes to avoid doing too much, or too less───lingering between the two in lieu. and it’s to none’s surprise as his time lengthens in unicorns and his team, that he hones an almost “lazy” approach to things, which makes him a target for others to pressure him. during the years he’d still been under his parents control and watchful eye; iseul’s had his fair share of being demanded from. after all, the younger son who should have been the star-child, turns out to be nothing more than a slacker.

( pressure is precisely why their hands, who’ve fed iseul, get bit in the end. )

adaptability. a close second would have been intelligence, in the aspects of both logical and emotional───or, even perception. but it is ultimately hwa iseul’s remarkable skill to make sense of a situation and act accordingly without batting an eye that makes up the most of his strengths.

a prime example follows the week after his acceptance, and contrary to popular belief that he would have yet to contribute to his role, iseul displayed proficiency in adjusting adequately to the needs of operation pandia. almost as if he’d long prepared for the task, as though he had been apart of unicorns long enough to know the way things tend to be done around the place.
