and maybe, just maybe, he's also avoiding joosung a little bit.

after everything that went down between them, byunghee has just needed some time to think. in many ways, sung fits the bill for who his mother would like him to date (kind, hardworker, catholic). he also fits the bill for who byunghee himself would enjoy dating (a guy, fairly hot, kind of a freak in bed, some degree of craziness). while joosung wanting him as much as he does is something byunghee is obsessed with it's also… scary.

he should've anticipated that he'd end up running into sung during an event he simply cannot run away from. it's only the combination of alcohol and guilt that has byunghee carefully approaching sung as he stands alone. "hello there."

drinking, as it often does, manages to solve most of her problems. or at the very least, it manages to make her feel lighter in her step, to walk around the room not as bothered by the events of the night as she would've been otherwise. she ventures towards the bathroom, successfuly manages to take care of her business without making a mess and even smiles some at the mirror after she washes her hands.

everything is going fine. that is, until her eyes catch the zipper of someone's dress hanging slightly open on the girl's back and she instinctually reaches out to zip her up. "careful there," rhiannon says, attempting to sound reassuring. "you don't want to go out with a fucked dress." what was meant to be an inspiring showing of female solidarity, turns into a clusterfuck when the zip breaks in rhiannon's hands and the dress goes from being held up by a single thread to nothing at all. "oh my god, i'm so sorry."

seoul fashion week s/s 2024 → dazed x ulkin x cahiers afterparty solo stage

grey, styled in ulkin lsd s/s 2024 cemetery camping club collection.

fashion week isn't usually ash's thing. he's not involved in the fashion industry in any real way other than his partnership with calvin klein, which isn't exactly haute couture.

when culture creative pushed for everyone to show up for this season's festivities, he wanted to stay in his own lane as much as possible. he isn't a runway model or a fashion influencer and he has no interest in taking the job of someone who is one of those things.

so when the offer to perform a solo stage at the ulkin afterparty arose, he agreed. performing is something he can do and he loves an excuse to be drunk on stage (the performance was early enough in the night he was sober though).

ulkin's new collection also aligned with his propensity for gritty horror aesthetics, which was a bit serendipitous and it ended up being arranged he'd don their new collection for the afterparty.

idk i ran out of things to say. his titties are sort of covered in this outfit so he feels like a nun.

he probably lost the jacket 15 seconds into the first song though

that's how her friendship with jean started, but she's soon to appreciate the other's company in ways other than simply badmouthing everlast. "i actually quite enjoyed that show," she whispers because the showroom is awfully quiet now that the show has come to an end. "the thing with fashion is that, most of the times, i don't get it. they look like clothes that can't be worn, but i feel like i could actually wear this collection."

it's the first time she's shown much interest in any of the shows because this one looked normal to her. although she's learned that normal isn't always the best in the fashion world, it's what she liked. "how about you? what did you think of the collection?"

years have trained ash in the confidence of taking the lead in a group interview or leading a deep blue practice session, but they haven't done much for his mingling abilities. he'd rather throw himself off the side of the roof they stand on than have to make small talk with another fashion person he's never heard of about some trend or designer he has no interest in. he's only here in the first place because management had mentioned it would be a good idea for deep blue members to show their faces at the same event after so much time since their last comeback.

however, the alcohol or the music or whatever must have loosened a lot of people up because she could not get out of conversations with people. they were barely conversations to begin with because she spent more of the time simply nodding and offering friendly smiles. nevertheless, the night was sucking all the energy out of her, and she needed a break.

it doesn't take her too long to find a back exit, and she's 99% sure it'll be filled with smokers, but she'd take that over the cramped space and boring conversations anyway. when she finally makes her way out, she lets out a long breath she didn't notice she's been holding in. "did you run away from the crowd indoors as well?" she offers to the person beside her before slowly crouching down on the floor and grabbing her head.
