mattheo was a fan of anything that could get him out of the house, and too a fan of halloween. though mattheo had now reached being in korea for two years, he still didn’t have a lot of friends, mostly when he left his apartment, it was for work or to visit his grandmother. mattheo had always been used to friendships that would end as quickly as they begun, mattheo had met a lot of people in korea, but it was rare there ever was a second meeting. but mattheo was a guy who loved being around other people, he was a guy that much preferred being outside of his apartment than in it. so this event seemed amazing, and it was going on for long, and mattheo knew he’d visit as often as possible.

random play dance was something mattheo enjoyed, though he was still stuck with two left feet, it’d get better hopefully, it needed to be if he wanted to become an idol. for today he’s alone, went to the event with nobody else, he listens carefully if the next song is one he knows, and he does. it’s bite me, a choreography for two which mattheo learned alone. he’s quick to step into the circle, some people seem like they’ve already found a partner, he spots someone who stands alone like him “which part of the dance did you learn?” he’s quick to ask, before the chorus actually comes on.

hi everyone! it's juju, with the xmas event coming, this is my plot call for my three babies! all three will be attending the event so i'd like threads for them all! please like or comment on this if i can message you for plotting !

matt was happy to get out of his apartment, do something else than work and visiting his grandmother. as much as he loved his grandmother (and her cat), and as much as loved his colleagues and students, sometimes he wanted to hang out with people his own age. so when mattheo heard of the halloween market, he made sure to find space in his calendar for it, trying to join as often as he could. for today he’d dragged along stevie, a friend of his, and the two were joining a karaoke event.

“i know i came to korea to become a singer and all, but don’t expect too much from me” mattheo had improved greatly in his singing, but had he become the best? far from it still. “do you wanna choose the song? oh! can we do a duet, that’d be fun, i don’t think i’ve heard you sing before?”.

matt living alone and still not being dead is pretty amazing. of course his grandmother still takes care of him though his days of living with her are over, almost whenever he visits her she brings food for him to take home. it’s not like matt is a complete idiot unable to take care of himself, it’s more like he does dumb stuff and you raise an eyebrow at him, get confused how his mind words. like saving cats from trees just to get stuck in the tree himself, somehow fall into a lake, and of course, believing he can dye his hair with… gatorade.

he looks at the gatorade in his hand before lifting his head to look at stevie, harshly he places the gatorade on the table before speaking “do you think i can dye my hair blue with this” he looks up, trying to get a glimpse of his blonde bangs. “my hair is already blonde, so it should be easy to dye, yeah?”, “and it makes sense, spilling blue gatorade on a white shirt makes it blue, so it should make my hair blue yeah? science, or something”...

"i love gifting things to people, but my brother makes it so tough."

with that, jueun let out a frustrated sigh as she looked at some of the booths surrounding them at the market. she loved these sort of holiday markets because they were filled with creative trinkets and inspirational ornaments that would look great on her instagram feed as well.

"everytime i get him something, his response is so lukewarm! it really ruins all the fun." she lets out another huff of breath before picking up a santa clause ornament. again, it was absolutely adorable, but she doubts her brother will be a fan. "do you think i should just gift him cash or something?" she snorts at the idea. while she didn't think it was a bad idea, it just didn't feel like her. jueun was all about customized, well thought-out gifts.

food was something mattheo had become very fond of, whether it was his grandmother’s or just simply the food from seven-eleven. matt found himself snacking a lot, and he was happy to cook with his grandmother or simply just eat her food. food brought him together with other people, whether it was cooking together, eating together or recommending other’s your favourite snacks. 

when matt heard of the christmas market, he knew he would go, and likely force friends to come along. daeho was someone who went to the seven-eleven mattheo worked at, over time they’d become friends, and now they were going to the christmas market together. “there’s so many food stalls…” mattheo looks around “at the end of today we’ll be poor and our tummies full” he chuckles.

"just miss your voice"

another sunday, another convenience store shift. sometimes, these days, it's actually a nice break from training. it's not like she wishes she didn't have to train; it's just nice to have a little break from routine once a week. and also to make more than $30 a week. that also helps.

the convenience store usually isn't very busy, so she gets away with sitting behind the counter and playing her nintendo switch while no one is looking half the time. of course, she has to check customers out, which is her least favorite part, but restocking the shelves isn't too bad either. it still feels a little embarrassing for a future kpop idol to work in a place like this, but nayoung has learned to suck up her pride a little more in recent times. it is what it is.

now, she absentmindedly hangs out behind the counter. someone is in the store, so she doesn't want to play her switch and look like a lazy employee. she can't really afford to lose this job, after all, so she just inspects her newly painted nails, then looks up, observing the customer from time to time.

eventually, her eyebrows furrow together, because he's acting a little strange. maybe it's nayoung, a snake, being able to detect a fellow snake, but she feels like something isn't right. she grabs some bags of chips that she knows need to be restocked anyway as an excuse, then heads into the aisle the strange man currently occupies.

"what are you doing?" she asks him, tone already indicating her suspicion and unamusement.
