[ ... ]
the bag rustles as he opens it, evidently too impatient to wait for the start of the movie. "honestly, i think we could use one more blanket, if it's possible. you never know what could happen. some freak might show up outside the window threatening to kill us unless we give him all our blankets, and then we'd be shit out of luck. unless we happened to have a secret additional blanket, or maybe even two secret additional blankets, out of sight. and we could grab those when he leaves. i'm just saying." with that outlandish suggestion out there, he bites into a stale pretzel stick and stares at kiha expectantly, as if daring him to challenge the theory.
he sits on the edge of the bed, rolls the pretzel bag closed and sets it on the bedside table. he tilts his head side to side until his neck has popped on both sides. "that sounds good to me," he agrees, kicking his legs up onto the mattress. he's quick to pull one of the blankets from the pile that kiha has just rearranged; for now, he only covers his feet with it. god forbid some demon (or hidden intruder) grabs them when kiha (hopefully) leaves the room to get another blanket.
kiha huffs with fake annoyance, reaching out to take a stick pretzel for himself and puts just tip on his mouth before proceeding to eat it like a poki instead while arranging the blankets on the bed. it isn't that the taste is necessarily bad — they taste as good as a stick pretzel could —, but the texture is obviously weird since it was neither stored away properly to not make them stale nor was it completely eaten when hyeon first opened the package. "i still don't understand why you can just eat popcorn like everyone else." he teases, though in a way kiha is genuinely curious why hyeon seemed so against such a traditional snack for movie nights. but then kiha supposes it makes a little sense, hyeon going against tradition; besides his friend is absolutely right— kiha is going to try to eat them anyway.
he listens to what hyeon has to say and he really tries to keep a straight face in front of such a ridiculous assumption, but it's a task that is so incredibly hard and he's smiling anyway, chuckling even at this idea, of the image that pops in his head. "really?" nevermind that in the peak of kiha getting paranoid over horror movies, he was convinced that a serial killer who died 20 years ago would come back and hunt him and hyeon down, how it didn't happen just once or twice that he and hyeon went to an arcade to spend the night trying to run away from any demons or serial killers they swore were after them. "this just sounds like an evil plan to take hostage of all the blankets in the house."
"but fine." but kiha ends up giving in anyway, he always does because it's hyeon. "but if you take both of them after the freak leaves and leave me with nothing, i'm going to cry." he threatens jokingly, though it rings empty when it won't take three minutes of the movie before kiha is clinging to hyeon so hard, it'd be a miracle that they wouldn't be merging into one person. he'll find his way under any and all blankets that hyeon hogs anyway. "put on the movie while i get them, will you?" kiha asks, smacking hyeon gently just a little above his knee as if to say get going before he's leaving the room again to get more blankets.
he meets one of his brother on the way back; the older ahn raises his eyebrows at the blankets quietly asking what they were for since he has always seen how many kiha had taken already; it's for the movie night, kiha explains and isn't quite sure why there's a light blush on his cheeks when his older brother hums, this weird glint in his eyes and clarifies for hyeon, you mean; but it isn't like kiha can deny it so he just confirms it, his brother sending him another weird look before wishing him a good night with a reminder that they shouldn't stay awake too late since all of them have to wake up early the next day.
"there you go, you big blanket monster." kiha comes back with another huff, trying not to think if his blush still lingers or not from his interaction with his brother, and hands the two blankets to hyeon so he could hide it as he suggested in his "plan", though he also wouldn't be surprised if the other just put them on the bed with the rest of them. "is there anything else?" he genuinely asks, after all, the moment that he's laying down and getting comfortable, he won't get up unless it's to run for his life.

the humidity is suffocating. even with the windows open, the lack of any kind of breeze makes the air feel hot and stale as dylan is forced to wonder what the previous owner of this home had been thinking in her refusals to update it with the times. there's no ceiling fan in dylan's room and the small fan swiveling in the corner does little to generate airflow. truthfully, he feels apologetic towards kiha for making him suffer in this environment—but more than that, he feels angry towards his cousin for not finding a more modern elderly woman to inherit a house from.
he and kiha are sitting on the floor ("heat rises," had been his short, defensive explanation) with a jigsaw puzzle scattered between them. with the pieces put together, it'll look like a winter-themed scene of the peanuts gang. but with it only about 15% of the way completed, it looks more like a threat. "do you ever feel like no matter where you go, it's not where you're supposed to be?" he asks suddenly, abandoning the puzzle in favor of falling flat onto his back with a dull thud. the hardwood floor is cold to the touch; he savors the feeling. eyes closed, he continues, "i guess what i mean is... how are you adjusting to being back in the bay? does it feel weird? for me, it feels fuckin' weird."
this was something that started bothering kiha since he decided to come back to yuseong bay to stay for longer than a one week or two during holidays, it's the way that he feels like he might've changed too much in too many ways to fit the town that he was born and raised for a good portion of his life — and it's weird to think that he has spent almost as much time out of yuseong bay as he spent in it. he was scared then (and in a way still is) that he lost so much while he was out that he could never get even the scraps of what he was when he was a little happier.
he was terrified then (and in a way still is) he won't be able to feel like home is home anymore.
"a little." kiha hums, still trying to put together charlie brown and snoopy part of the puzzle and feeling a little envious that they didn't look like they were about to melt under the south korean summer heat any time soon. "and it's even weirder because it isn't like i've never stopped by to visit, you know, because i have and as much as i could." he heaves a sigh. for better or for worse, kiha was someone very family oriented and he'd always try his best to at least spend the holidays back here with his grandparents and brothers, not even counting all the weekends that he made a quick trip to yuseong bay because he missed them. "but—"
another pause. kiha chews on his bottom lip looking like he's focusing on trying to find the right white puzzle piece that fits this other white puzzle piece instead of trying to find the right words to what he's trying to say, to put name and labels to what he's feeling.
"i don't think seoul is the place for me anymore." he admits even if that might be too much of an early conclusion, especially one that sounded so heavy. for the longest time seoul was everything that kiha dreamed of, quite literally the place of dreams; where he'd finally make them come true and in a way it did, it was, until everything crashed and burned. "but i feel like i might've changed too much to fit yuseong bay too." then he looks at his friend with knitted eyebrows. "have i? changed that much?" even if kiha knows that this isn't much of a fair question to ask, he still does.

✧ 🎁 : a present from kiha to hyeon.
it's sort of a stupid thing, something that kiha saw and it reminded him of his best friend in a silly way. kiha isn't the type to gift his friends outside of important occasions because he just prefers to and is more used to express his affections in other ways, but sometimes his eyes do end up falling onto something that reminds him of certain people way too much for him to not buy whatever that something was; though it isn't always that gift it to that someone and instead just keeps it to himself as a little something to make him feel a little less lonely during long nights in the studio or when he spent whole nights in practice rooms during his trainee days.
this time the stupid thing is a little hedgehog keychain, a little trinket that caught his eye while he was walking around the farmer's market — a request from his grandmother. it might be a little cliche to say that it reminded kiha of his best friend (more specifically when they were still trying to teach other how to swim)in the way that hedgehogs do have all their shark spikes on their back but their bellies are one of the softest things in the world, some sort of metaphor for his rough around the edges exterior but when you actually get to meet lee hyeon for what he truly is, you can see that he's nothing but a puppy that is more bark than bite.
or maybe it's because the little thing had an expression that reminded him of hyeon— or maybe it was because kiha wanted to express that he was so grateful that, even with their disbandment being partially kiha's thought, hyeon has yet to point fingers and cuss him out for it, even going go the extend of accepting the former main vocalist to spend time away with his grandparents, but for once he doesn't want to do it in an emotional way, one that might make hyeon realize that he should be mad at kiha too and cause a fight.
maybe kiha just wanted to gift his best friend just because.
"doesn't it sort of look like you? like doesn't he give the impression he's always a little annoyed?" kiha says with an amused smile tugging at the corner of his lips while he watches hyeon's reaction to the keychain, poking the little thing so it could sway in the air. "that's why i bought it." he adds before the other could retort with anything. "a little hyeonnie for big hyeonnie."

✧ 📱 : the most recent text from kiha to harin.
( txt ••• 이하린❗ )
➥ hey!
➥ grandma made a lot of kimchi
➥ and she was wondering if your family won't want some?
➥ pls say yes
➥ i think she made enough for like four families of five
➥ it's that bad
"if my grandparents didn't love you as much as they do, i'd kick you out of this house." kika narrows his eyes at his friend, or more specifically at the bag of pretzels that hyeon has on his hands, right before he drops more blankets on the bed, but it's obvious that he isn't completely serious about it by the way that he's holding back a smile from tugging at the corner of his lips. in the end, that's just another thing that makes the whole picture that is lee hyeon, one that kiha will forever find too endearing to not indulge, even if it's by eating three weeks old pretzel sticks, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"do you think this is enough?" he gesture to the blankets that he gathered around the house, he's almost certain that he got most of them, or at least the ones that the rest of his family isn't using. hyeon's room is already chilly even if it's already summer, considering it's been a good minutes that they turned the ac on — thank the heavens for his grandparents who refused almost all and any reformations that kiha offered to pay for but couldn't really bring themselves to deny the luxuries of having an ac for every bedroom in the house —, besides the other has always been the kind of the more blankets the merrier during movie nights.
the storm is starting to pick up outside, the sound of the rain getting strong enough that it's easy to hear it even with the buzzing of the ac on. it makes kiha a little more excited about their spooky movie, the storm being the exact reason why kiha proposed such activity in the first place. "i was thinking that we could watch when a stranger calls." because it's about a psychopath terrorizing someone in their own house, a plot that kiha feels fits the mood that they're going for. "what do you think?" he turns to hyeon while rearranging the blankets so it's less like a messy ball of fabrics in the middle of the bed and more like something that kiha can safely and cozily snuggle under.

short mun introduction here. hi, hi! i'm autumn (she/they, 21+) again and i bring you not only my baby kiha here, but also moon taeho (@mooninkd) & kim aera (@orchdaria) so feel free to contact me on any of them! i also have discord upon request ♡
short muse introduction here. ahn kiha. 26 y/o. former idol and now working as a farmhand at his grandparent's farm, but even then he's just a visitor and might come back to seoul at some point even if he doesn't know exactly when. he was born and (mostly) raised in yuseong bay by his grandparents (and two older brothers), moved to seoul when he was 14 to get his first audition, but is back since february 2024 to reconnect with his roots and find himself/his love for music again.
answer the following prompts, either ooc or ic!
when did your muse first arrive in yuseong bay?
he was born in yuseong bay and lived there until he was around fourteen when he moved to seoul to audition and passed in a audition in his third try. since then he lived in seoul. even when his first group disbanded in 2014 due to poor management, he still stayed in seoul doing odd jobs and whatnot until he found a second agency who would accept him and got him to debut again in a new group. he just returned to yuseong bay again after that group's messy disbandment. his name isn't specifically cited anywhere besides people calling out his failure as a leader for not keeping the group together, however there are some rumors going around of physical altercations between two members that heavily influenced the company's choice of letting them go and, well, surprise surprise kiha was one of those members— more specifically the one that punched the other in face, oop. however he did visit sometimes but nothing more than a couple of days.
what does an average day look like for your muse?
usually wakes up at around 6:40~7am, helps his grandparents with breakfast while one of his brothers picks up some eggs from the small coop they have and the other gets whatever they might need for breakfast and the rest of the day in the also small vegetable garden that they have in a part of the farm that isn't used by the tangerine trees; has breakfast with his family (and the best friend that is staying with him) and then spends a good portion of the day helping them with their farm routine until they decide that he has done enough and kick him out to enjoy his "vacation" in yuseong bay which is usually some time after lunch; then he often spends a good time of the afternoon playing around with some arrangements, sometimes his grandfather joins him, sometimes he does it alone or if he's in a more nostalgic/exploring mood, he goes around the city for a bit— from the antique store and ojo records to see if there's anything that might catch his eye or even going to bother his best friend on his job at park's garage, but he always makes sure to watch the sunset by the beach before going home for dinner and spending the rest of the evening with his family or at most hanging out with some friends if they invite him to anything; usually doesn't stay up for long and is in bed by the latest midnight.
where can your muse usually be found?
if he isn't home with his family, then there are quite the options to find him. since kiha is trying to reconnect with his old self and how things used to be before he left and became famous, it's hard to pinpoint when and where he'll be most of the time. however he's trying to keep a routine of seeing the sunset at the beach in the part the resort hasn't touched yet, a couple of his favorite spots are: the ojo records, especially because he feels liek he needs to connect with music again which means that he's curious about what they might have, even more so if it's something that he wouldn't find in seoul anymore, besides he always enjoyed making his musical knowledge a little broader; the pier because of the community of cats that he missed so much and never realized until he was back and the andante cafe in the afternoons to treat himself to something sweet (esp now that he doesn't need to always be aware of his weight).
how does your muse feel about hanhwa resort?
is more apathetic to it than he probably would be if he hasn't left yuseong before. of course that he doesn't like the way that it's changing all these people's lives that were here first and this is more than just a business for them, it's their livehoods— it's their home, but at the same time he can't really care too much since he knows that in the end he cares for his family/grandparents the most and he could support them regardless of what happens to yuseong bay even if they still decided to stay there in the end.
is there an aspiration for your muse to stay in or leave yuseong bay?
well, for starters there is his family here— a family that he missed even at the highlight of his careers/when things weren't this messy. besides kiha honestly feels a little tired/burned out from the big city lifestyle (or maybe it's because he doesn't have a lot of good memories there??) and of course there is the whole thing of his name and his former group's name being a very hot topic in the media right now because of their messy disbandment, consequently forcing into a break anyway; so for now he has more reasons to stay than to leave. however there's still the chance that he might go back after he finds what he's looking for in yuseong bay (his love for music, a version of himself that wasn't chopped away and molded by the industry, etc etc), he might come back to seoul.
answer the following, ooc!
list your muse’s three favorite songs.
in no particular order: the way i love you - yaeow, neptune ; breath - lee hi; plant - kim sejeong.
describe your muse’s wardrobe.
surprisingly with almost no colors, most if not all of his wardrobe being made of black and dark colors with the exception of a white tshirt or sweater here and there — besides a couple of clothes that he got for being sponsored by certain luxury brands or others that he ended up keeping after a photoshoot. he also follows the rule of "balance" which means that if he's wearing a tight top (probably with a jacket of sorts as well), he'll wear loose bottoms and the other way around as well, loose tops then tight bottoms. recently he can be found wearing a lot of sleeveless shirts, already unused to the warm weather of yuseong bay.
what is a color, word, and emoji that you feel describes your muse?
soft turquoise, light, 🍊
three strong likes and dislikes for your muse.
really likes cozily warm late afternoons, tangerines, getting the recording done in one go / really dislikes feeling like he's being pushed around/looked down on, arguments, overly sweet scents
three positive and negative traits for your muse.
positive traits friendly, charismatic, empathetic / negative traits perfectionist, reticent, lost, pragmatic
three talents and shortcomings for your muse.
talents picking up people's moods and reacting to them accordingly, has perfect pitch, knows how to play a good variety of instruments. / shortcomings can be reactive if he feels people are trying to rub him off the wrong way, can't ride a bicycle, is ridiculously bad at driving (whether he actually is or he's pretending to be just because he hates driving is a mystery).
what is a book/tv series/movie/video game character that you feel your character relates to?
somewhat sugawara koushi from haikyuu.
a relevant goal or arch for your character to overcome.
it's ridiculously cliche but kiha wants to find his "sound/music" back because he has been awfully butchered by the industry for a little more than a decade at this point. and he also always had a problem with the overexposure that being an idol brings which made him incredibly shut off with people around him because he gets a little too sensitive/paranoid about his privacy being invaded. he started getting better with that during his time with his last group, more so because of his best friend that was in the group with him, but it made a comeback now that the disbandment happened and he's more scared than he might admit that someone ends up leaking where he is and this whole thing will become a whole new a nightmare.
extra bits !
kiha was raised by his grandparents in their small tangerine farm instead of his parents because according to them, they were too busy with work to look after their child(ren), but that didn't stop him from being raised with love to the point that he's almost apathetic towards his parents since they were never really the type to visit or send anything more than a birthday present and message.
finds out his passion for music when he was about thirteen when his grandfather taught him how to play the piano and he has been making songs since then. the first one that he ever wrote was about tangerines and how they made him happy.
goes to seoul at 14 y/o to try to audition and surprisingly ends up getting his chance, training for only one year before he's debuted in a boy group— said boy group that had a reality show that was very... exploitative and overexposing which made him shut off while keeping a friendly persona.
this group disbands after a couple of years due to lack of management and kiha doesn't leave seoul because he doesn't want to give up on his dream just yet; then much older and more mature, he ends up accepted by kh ent and debuts once again in twi5t as the leader this time due to his former experience in the industry and for being the oldest in the group.
which was a whole new type of nightmare because he not only needed to look after four other grown up men, but he also had to look after four other grown up men that hated each other; their reputation being mostly saved because the company had a good pr team and at the end of the day no one wanted to lose their jobs. stiil, as the leader there were a lot of responsibilities that were thrown on him and things that he was held accountable for even though he wasn't directly involved with them.
still he was one of the least problematic members of the group (if not the least) and that's why even though the agency kept pulling his ears for not keeping the other members of twi5t in check, they still gave him a couple of solo projects/opportunities anyway because they knew that kiha was always well behaved anyway.
but by 2023 tensions are too high and one of the members ended up getting into an argument with kiha, said some pretty seriously insulting stuff by kiha's grandparents which prompted kiha to punch them in the face. it wasn't exactly the only reason why the agency disbanded them, but it was obvious a pretty big part of it.
so with that, he decides to go back to yuseong bay to try to reconnect with a version with himself that wasn't molded by the entertainment industry and all about being profitable and market friendly; ends up dragging his best friend that is from that same group (his only solace tbh) because he knows that they need a place to lay low too and his grandparents love them so why not.
mostly works at his family's farm as a farmhand, helping with the crops and the animals that they have.
kiha is a very... jaded person at this point, calloused by being badly manhandled by people that promised that would make his dreams come true since he was too young, even though he mostly hides that part of himself with smiles and playful remarks. he sacrificed a lot to keep pursuing music and now that he's left with nothing he's wondering if it was really worth it.
he's in yuseong bay for a lot of self reflection (and maybe some self healing too), but!! i promise he's also fun KJSHDKFJH and is here for a good time as well and he isn't as depressing as all of this might make him sound!! he's still a very fun person to be with and someone that easily gets along with everyone, so give him a chance pls. 🙏
