It wasn’t normal to see Taemin nervous about something. Usually he oozed confidence from his pores, but he figured that some humbleness would be required after one of his teachers phoned him, saying that he’d spoken great things about Tae to one of his closest friends--no one other than Rowan Donell, one of the founders of Alpha Tech--and before he could say anything, a meeting had been scheduled and Taemin caught himself updating his resume and his portfolio to attach to an email to Mr. Donell. 

Usually, he’d get something sweet to eat and some coffee too, but his pantry was almost empty due to the all-nighters he’d been pulling lately in order to finish his project and subsequently, Tae reminded himself that he needed to do the groceries. He couldn’t rely on Joon to do that for him all the time. His brother meant well, Tae knew that... but Joon often spoiled Taemin, and it should be the other way around.

He checked if his black denim pants and buttoned shirt were good enough before grabbing the essential things to take with him like his phone, wallet and keys and driving himself to Alpha Tech’s building, to chat with Mr.Donell. Once he arrived and announced himself to the people at the reception downstairs, where he got a visitor’s badge to enter the building and then he made his way. At the floor of Mr. Donell’s office, he repeated his actions of giving his name to the man’s secretary and waited until he was asked by the secretary to go inside the office.

Taemin cleared his throat before he stepped into the big office and it was like his confidence was back. He’d gotten this far, he couldn’t let this opportunity pass... especially since his professor had put so much faith on him already.

“Thanks for having me, Mr. Donell.” He said as he approached Rowan. “Professor Sanders spoke to you about me? Taemin Kim. Nice to meet you, sir.”

Often described as ‘flamboyant’ by most and ‘obnoxious’ by a few, flamingos lean towards the extroverted side of things. They are at home in the midst of a crowd and thrive on a busy social life, and are prone to intense boredom when left to occupy themselves alone. Loud and proud by nature, they will go out of their way to try and involve others in the fun, particularly if they feel someone is being unfairly left out; at the same time, however, they can be somewhat self-absorbed, and occasionally come off as brash or even aggressive to people they don’t quite click with.

True to their stereotype, mice are not the most self-possessing individuals. Nervy and easily intimidated, they struggle to stand up for themselves and prefer to act as wallflowers, keeping out of the spotlight. High stakes and busy environments are not their favourites - they do much better in quiet, academic professions. As a result, they are often found in libraries and museums, or else in administrative roles where they are not too heavily relied upon. They tend to be fairly resourceful and are generally able to turn their hand to most things, but their lack of confidence and desire to fly under the radar means their achievements can be easily overlooked. More often than not they are highly empathetic, and are happy to lend a listening ear to a person that needs it.

Fickle and flighty, rabbits burn energy at a high rate and are almost always active. They look for near-constant stimulation and also struggle with boredom, with a tendency towards self-destructive behaviour. They have an intense appreciation for people and fall in love very easily, but at the same time can find themselves investing everything in a single person and expecting too much in return. Sometimes labelled as high-maintenance, those with rabbit daemons tend to be sweet, physically-affectionate individuals who bond hard with the people they care for, wearing their hearts entirely on their sleeves - and subsequently getting it broken very easily.

“You up for lunch?” Alex asked as he leaned against Rowan’s glass door while holding the actual door open and hoping for a positive answer. He’d been stuck in a meeting with the communication team all morning and it was already almost two and he had barely touched food yet. He figured that if there was someone who hadn’t eaten among his friends, that someone was Rowan, so asking wouldn’t hurt. “C’mon, my treat. I need to grab something to eat before I faint in front of my four o’clock meeting.”
