"the lighthouse?" taeho's frown gets a little deeper before he's sending a look between the person in front of him and the lighthouse that isn't very far away from where the pink moon festival is happening, looking even more eerie at nighttime than it already does during the day. "but aren't we forbidden from going there?" he questions because he remembers something being said about that one refraining from getting to close and of course trying to get inside the abandoned structure; the exact word forbidden wasn't used but then in a way it might as well had been.
though he supposes that a point could be made that it's one of the best places to watch the meteor shower as long as one ignores how everything seems so old and as if a demon has been living there for the last couple of decades — though he also heard from patrons at the bar that it's the ghosts of former workers of the lighthouse that haunt the place, being unable to leave for thinking they still have work to do while others swear that it's just dokkaebis who like to pull pranks on whoever is brave enough to explore the lighthouse.
taeho takes a sip of his pink moon milkshake while he actually considers the offer — and also questioning a little of his common sense if he's actually pondering over whether or not he's willing to go on a little spooky adventure in the middle of the festival with the perhaps real consequence of getting arrested for trespassing. "it isn't even halloween." he thinks out loud; not that he thinks the town would open the lighthouse for halloween either, but at least it'd make more sense to want to explore something so famously spooky. or maybe the whole point is just to have a good spot for the meteor shower, maybe.
"fine." he finally gives in with a sigh. "but just so you know that if we get arrested, i have no money to bail us out."

but then he supposes that this is the whole point of getting high, even more probably that being the reason they use that expression to describe this anyway. besides it does feel nice, this feeling almost like he's floating — each step with a little skip to it, as if gravity wasn't holding him down as much as it usually would — even though selena's hand feels very real where he's holding it; just lacing their pinkies together because taeho was genuinely scared that he might float away and he has not only classes but work the next day, he didn't have the luxury to spend his day away quite literally in the clouds and most importantly how would he come down later? could he even survive up there for the rest of his life if that was the case?
taeho looks at selena then and is tempted to drap the jacket that he's wearing on her, not only because the night is chilly around them, the weather still holding onto the last remnants of spring before welcoming summer, but also because she seemed so light, what if she's the one floating away? what if the strength of his pinky isn't enough to hold her down? what if—
he decides to hold her hand properly before his mind can spiral into more disastrous scenarios, even gives it a little squeeze just to be sure that selena is secure by his side, that she won't be taken away unless taeho is dragged with her. only then he allows himself to tune his attention back to little game that they're playing, remembering that he's supposed to look around and try to spot something for selena to guess.
taeho hums for a lingering moment, connecting his thumb and index finger before hovering the makeshift one eye binocle over his left eye and consequently making him close his right one. "i spy with my little eye—" he starts even though he didn't decide what exactly he's spying, looking around to see if he catches anything that is easy enough for selena to guess without difficulties but still making it fun. but then his eyes end up falling on selena and that gives him in an idea. "the prettiest girl of yuseong bay." he finishes with a grin.
it's windy outside. the kind of wind that howls out threats of an imminent storm, but for now, selena leaves her bedroom window open. the curtains catch most of the breeze, and what they don't catch serves as a tool to keep the room cool amidst the heavy, warm air of uncertainty. she and taeho pretend that nothing's out of place. it's unusual for her, this kind of avoidance, but she maintains it for the sake of his comfort and their routines. some things are better left addressed, and besides, the window's open. should the storm get too bad, she'll close it.
they’re sitting on the floor atop one of the many handmade blankets that her mother had gifted them upon moving into their apartment. it’s spread out seamlessly on the hardwood floor and provides just enough space for them to sit across from each other with friendship bracelet materials and a cheap loom in between. there’s a six-pack of green apple smirnoff ice to selena’s left and a shitty bluetooth speaker to her right. not playing anything yet—just set up in preparation for when things get awkward again, if things get awkward again. a last ditch effort to prevent an uncomfortable silence from settling in. she’s got her fingers metaphorically crossed that it won’t be needed.
"what colors do you want me to use for yours?" she asks, accompanied by the soft 'pop' of a tupperware lid coming off. inside the container, the choices of thread are chaotically strewn together. the lid removal carries with it some kind of smell that she can't really place; the smell of the past maybe, of the last time she'd made a bracelet with these materials. 2013, maybe.
"hm," taeho takes a moment to look at the endless sea of colorful beads and threads, all materials for their friendship bracelets. he's tempted to say black because it's enough of a neutral color that he wouldn't have to worry about matching colors and whatnot, but then he thinks that black is a little too bland for a friendship bracelet; but then he thinks that selena might prefer to make something colorful instead and that's why his final answer ends up being— "something blue with a little green, something like the sea." he doesn't see any sort of sea green or turquoise in the middle of the beads, at least not at first glance, but he does see a couple of seashells and whatnot so he's sure that selena will have plenty with fun with them.
"fun is a little too vague." he tilts his head do the side, thinking that it's even more so when moon taeho doesn't always grasp the full concept of fun, besides he's too scared to disappoint selena even more, to make something that she won't like but will wear it anyway just for the principle of it, or even worse— make things between them even more awkward because she was the one who proposed for them to make friendship bracelets and now she had to also make excuses to why she isn't wearing the one that taeho made for her, hesitant in telling him that she simply didn't like it. "can you be a little more specific?" taeho asks, perhaps a little too stiffly, wincing internally at his own tone and words a second later. he doesn't want to sound like he's picking a fight again. "i mean— just—" but words fail him once more, anything that his mind tries to come up with to ease his awkwardness and soften his tone only seems like it'll make things even more. "nevermind, something fun. i can work with that."
probably.
taeho knows that it's his fault, that he should be the one to apologize because he so obviously crossed a line; no matter how frustrated he felt and how much his words came from a place of care, a want for selena to be happy, it doesn't give him the right to treat her like someone who didn't have the ability to make decisions about her own love life, about whom she decides to go on a date with. it isn't taeho's place to take her by the hand and try to drag her to whom he thinks would be a better choice for her (even more so when he'd be dragging her to himself of all people). he knows that; the thing that he doesn't know is how to bring it up— how to gather enough courage to face head on the dense nimbus of awkwardness that is relentlessly clouding their friendship.
at least selena didn't seem mad; quite the contrary, considering that she was the one that suggested for them to do something a little different, to make friendship bracelets for each other as if she was trying to quietly say that they're still friends. taeho was relieved, he really was, but he still couldn't completely pretend that argument never happened, not when it kept repeating itself in his head and made him think of things, to realize feelings that won't do any good for him, much less for his roommate.
"should we order take out for dinner?" taeho asks just so any heavy silence won't settle between them. "what are you feeling like eating?"

✧ 🕶️ : taeho's first and current impressions of selena.
the first thing that taeho noticed about her is the fact that selena talks a lot; but not in a bad way. it just showed she was comfortable with any and all kinds of people (even with someone with a frown that seemed tattooed on their face). actually he was a little jealous of how easily she seemed to just get along with everyone, speaking to strangers like they're old friends. he was a little jealous that selena seemed like someone who was easy to love, of the way that she seemed to captivate anyone around her; of the way she, in a way, captivated taeho too even if he (now guiltily) thought that they'd never get along because they were so obviously different from each other, the tale of an extrovert that adopted an introvert, being nothing more than just that— a trope that people liked to use to write their fictional work.
he still thinks that selena talks a lot; but not in a bad way. it just shows that she's comfortable with any and all kinds of people (even with someone with a frown that seemed tattooed on their face and isn't the best of the moods in the morning), it also means that she knows how to fill the silence that taeho leaves between them sometimes even when desperate in finding a way to fill it himself, though still being mindful of taeho's social battery which is something that he's grateful for and a gesture that he finds immensely sweet and thoughtful, even more so when he's more than used to people ignoring that instead of taking it into consideration.
one thing that didn't change in taeho's impression, however, is how selena seems like one of those people that others says that are living their first life. he doesn't know how to really explain it besides how he feels like selena looks at life with hints of awe and excitement where taeho can only face that same life with pragmatic nonchalance; if not downright pessimism; this being another aspect that makes taeho incredibly fond of her even if he doesn't think he'll ever admit it out loud.

short mun introduction here. hi, hi! i'm autumn (she/they, 21+) again and i bring you not only my baby taeho here, but also ahn kiha (@srnscng) & kim aera (@orchdaria) so feel free to contact me on any of them! i also have discord upon request ♡
short muse introduction here. moon taeho, 24 y/o. university student at jeju national uni and also part times as a barback at 88&. he's a resident in yuseong bay (for now anyway) because the rent is much cheaper than in jeju city (also for now help) so it just made sense in his head to move in here even with the extra cost of transportation than to stay in the city, so he sort of just moved in with a roommate! he studies early childhood education because he wants to be a kindergarten teacher or work in a daycare (is actually looking for an internship somewhere right now so pls root for him 🙏🙏🙏). here is his profile and here is his pinterest!
answer the following prompts, either ooc or ic!
when did your muse first arrive in yuseong bay?
he arrived not so long ago on march of this year! taeho is actually from daegu and at first moved to jeju city because that's where he decided to go to university to, he has been been in jeju city for about two years (this is his third) before moving to yuseong bay. his parents aren't the greatest at parenting (at least not with him) so he's in that transitional moment of trying to heal his inner child/needing some time away from them and going to jeju for university instead of a closer educational institution. however the rent in jeju city is wildly expensive even if it's a dorm room so he was thinking about moving in somewhere else a little cheaper to cut off expenses. even then it still took him a while to find someone that was thinking the same as him and he finally took that last step to move out and here we are.
what does an average day look like for your muse?
he usually wakes up at around 6:30 to 7am (when he doesn't hear his alarm) to do the bare minimum tattoo skincare (as in wash his face and put some sunscreen) and then have some breakfast, get ready to university and then he spends four to five hours seeking higher education. then he usually just goes back home for lunch to either do chores around home (or goes out to do house chores like grocery shopping/get a new shower because his broke, etc etc), assignments or simply to take a nap and eat something before starting his shift at 88&; unless it's monday, wednesday or friday, then he goes to the recreational center to work out for around one hour to two hours before going home to prepare for his shift. taeho does his shift and then goes back home for the night, still prob tries to catch up on an episode or two of any anime he's watching (and then proceeds to regret it the morning after) before going to bed.
where can your muse usually be found?
he's a little of a homebody tbh so it's somewhat hard to see him out of the house unless he has something to do or a friend dragged him out, but if he's feeling adventurous, you could prob find in at andante cafe in the afternoon trying to finish some assignment while having some coffee and a little sweet treat, or the recreation center getting his weekly workout, or on either pierrot's lanes to try out some of the retro arcades or even the memoire antique shop simply to check if someone dropped any old mangas that he might be interested in, very unlikely, but it's something to get him out of the house, so.
how does your muse feel about hanhwa resort?
he's surprisingly neutral about it. taeho does think it's a pity and bad that the local community are losing their space in their own hometown — either because of the higher and higher prices and because the resort is so obviously trying to own it in a way —, but he also sort of thinks it's inevitable considering capitalism how the world is; sort of only hopes that his rent will remain cheaper than the his dorm room in jeju city at least until he graduates and most likely will move out somewhere else or he gets his internship/a job that gets him a little more money than the one he has now.
is there an aspiration for your muse to stay in or leave yuseong bay?
taeho has always seen yuseong bay as the place cheaper than jeju city that he's going to live until he gets his degree. even though he does enjoy the more quiet life (and despises the bad reception even if it gives him an excuse to not call his parents/to not answer their rare calls), i feel like he's a city boy through and through. he can get used to a life there if the need arises (like him getting a job/internship there, or anything like that), but i don't think that he wants to. however he isn't picky nor has this goal of living in a specific place in the end, so i guess in a way if he stays or not in yuseong bay after he gets his degree is sort of a mystery.
answer the following, ooc!
list your muse’s three favorite songs.
in no specific order: super beaver - らしさ ; official髭男dism - mixed nuts ; urban zakapa - i don't love you. (was really tempted in making these three anime songs to expose this big nerd's ass but alas)
describe your muse’s wardrobe.
one word: basic. he's very very very basic. jeans and a tshirt, usually slightly oversized/loose for comfort, in simple colors — nothing too bright (and god forbid neon) but he still wears colors —, simple patterns, simple prints; if he's feeling a little bolder, he'll bring out his anime tshirts. since he has tattoos, he usually is always wearing a shirt or a jacket over his tshirt to hide them (or expose them if he's feeling "safe") since sometimes he does get a little more attention because of them and he just would rather not.
what is a color, word, and emoji that you feel describes your muse?
sky blue, diligence, 😑
three strong likes and dislikes for your muse.
really likes anime, homemade food, coffee / really dislikes spicy food, being the center of attention in a crowded room/space, things done halfassedly.
three positive and negative traits for your muse.
positive diligent, generous, well-mannered / negative critical, reticent, stubborn
three talents and shortcomings for your muse.
talents is great with kids and with handcraft things, can fall asleep anywhere at anytime / shortcomings is stubborn in his ways even if it's proven it's not the best way, always pushes himself a little too hard/is too hard on himself, can't ask for help even when he needs to
what is a book/tv series/movie/video game character that you feel your character relates to?
nanami kento from jujutsu kaisen and somewhat sakusa kiyoomi from haikyuu.
a relevant goal or arch for your character to overcome.
taeho has a huge issue with his parents because they were pretty negligent with him but he still searches for their approval/validation/attention anyway and it'd be nice for him to realize that they won't ever really give it to him, not the same way that he does with his younger brother that is so obviously the favorite son, and not be to hung up on it and instead pay more attention to the people that genuinely care for him in his life + having a little more of self worth/love instead of just allowing himself to be taken for granted by others.
extra bits !
his parents obviously had him when they weren't prepared for it and it so obviously show. they aren't the best parents since they don't know how to interact with a kid (even more so when it's their own son) and so they were never close to each other from the start, but at least they tried even if they just ended up treating him as an older kid than he actually was.
things don’t get better when his younger brother is born as the apple of his parents’ eyes, a child that came when they actually wanted one and used the excuse that he was born with a sick body to give him more attention than to taeho (but then things didn’t change when his little brother got healthy later on).
so he learned how to be an adult a little too soon and how to look after himself; surprisingly he doesn’t really resent neither his parents nor his brother for it and he does love them dearly, would die and kill for them, even if the relationship with his parents is still awkward at best.
was always the epitome of the good kid™ (and still is tbh), always well-mannered and too worried about getting good grades and behaving/not causing trouble to really enjoy being just a kid. he was always too quiet to really make a lot of friends growing up.
as much as he just wanted to chill throughout his school years, he still ended up class president more than once and almost if not all of his group assignments he ended up as the group’s leader because at the end of the day he’s very critical and methodical about things, esp academic work, so he ends up taking charge just so things will be up to his standards. he also has very dependable vibes so people end up relying on him a lot too so in the end he does end up in positions of leadership even if the i in his mbti wants otherwise.
characteristics that he carries with himself to this day. hence why new semester is yet another broken promise that he’ll just chill in group tasks and agree with everything.
did his military service right after graduating high school because the tensions were only getting higher in his house since he started trying to demand more attention to his parents that obviously didn't know/won't give to him and one of them suggested that this would be a good thing for him, that they'd be proud of a son that didn't try to "procrastinate" his civil duties so of course he goes.
which was an experience that gave him a lot to think about his relationship with his parents so when he was done, he wasn't quite ready to go back home yet so he tries an university away from them and that's how he ends in jeju national university.
is a big— huge anime fan, has collections of mangas (that he never completes/drops midway through and reads on the shounen jump app instead), has three tattoos about shows that he enjoys/watches; but is also very lowkey about the merch that he wears/uses (i.e. wearing a sports shirt from an anime team to work out) that makes small references to what he watches, very iykyk thing.
