hello! Iām here with resident bad boy, bae euntaek (bae1), more commonly known as taek, a tattoo artist and the owner of ģģ (yeongwon), a tattoo parlour along boulevard 88! heās basically the boy your parents tell you to stay away from, and itās not just the tattoos, or the fact that he is a high school dropout rumoured to have been in prison for a year, pretty much everything else about him screams bad news. here are some links to his pages (Ā about / bioĀ ) and more information about him can be found under the cut, along with a brief list of plot ideas because I havenāt had the time to do up a proper plot page. if anything catches your eye, feel free to let me know, otherwise, we can also brainstorm and come with something more fitting! lastly, if youād like to plot, you can hit the like button and Iāll drop you an im!
more information: trigger warnings: death.
his parents died in a car crash when he was nine and his younger sister and him were left in the care of their grandparents ever since
both of them were in the car at the time of accident but they managed to come out of it alive and rumours about them being cursed started spreading around the hill
heās basically the complete opposite of his sister, she's sweet and cheerful while heās angry and aloof, kinda like the human embodiments of my melody and kuromi
owns a tattoo parlour at boulevard 88, right next to his sisterās flower shop (essentially the meme of that black house next to the pink house)
uses anger to mask his grief and puts on a strong front because heās convinced he is his sisterās pillar of strength and the day he crumbles, she will too
so yes, heās the epitome of an overprotective older brother
his grandparents were pretty lenient with him growing up, letting him do whatever he wants to because they could tell that he was struggling internally but he abused it and ended up going down the wrong pathĀ
was a horrible student, often landing himself in detention, barely turning up for classes and eventually had to repeat his junior year in high school
suffered a deep cut from the accident which left a scar on his left arm, which that got him many questions about it
sick and tired of the questions and constant reminder of the accident, he went to get his scar covered up with a tattoo in his senior year of high school
this didnāt help with his reputation in school and the school insisted he got his tattoo removed or heāll have to take his leave from the school
unwilling to remove his tattoo, he decided to drop out
thatās when his interest in tattoo art started developing, when he got addicted to the euphoria a new ink gives him
somewhere between 2016-2017, he enrolled himself into a tattoo art school in tokyo, where he took some time off from life on the hill to find himself and get away from the bad memories here
would stay in tokyo for good if not for his sister back at home so he eventually returned home and opened his tattoo parlour, after his tattoo art instagram account went viral
now heās back at yangcheon hill, living life one day at a time, just hoping to finish up his time on earth as peacefully and painlessly as possible
plot ideas:
friends he met back in tokyo / people who have seen a more carefree side of him, people who knew him for the person they saw, and not for his tragic past
someone who wants to take care of him / taek is used to being the caretaker and protector, especially towards his younger sister and grandparents, but deep down, heās just a broken child who wants to be loved and cared for so it would be nice to have someone take on this role reversalĀ
tattoo art apprentice + part-timer / preferably someone very eager to learn, someone who is the opposite of him, someone who is bubbly and excitable to melt his walls? I can see taek being strict and aloof around them at first but he eventually warms up to them and ends up treating him like a younger sibling whom he cares for a lot but doesnāt admit (better still if theyāre taking on this job behind their parentsā back)
ex number oneĀ / someone who broke up with him because she felt like he puts his sister first and above her (true)
ex number two / someone who tried to open him up to her but failed as he was too emotionally unavailable and just really bad with feelings
strictly friends with benefitsĀ (well maybe not even friends) / taek craves affection but he doesnāt realise itās because he wants to be loved and cared for, confuses it with sexual desire and often turns to hook ups to fill the void in his heart though it never seems to work (he doesnāt hesitate to let them know that it is strictly physical though it would be fun to have some complications)
people that take pity on him and sisterĀ / people that try too hard to be nice to him, though out of good intentions, he just hates being pitied and so he finds it hard to appreciate it
people he rubbed off the wrong way / thereās got to be many of these as he has a pretty bad temper
someone who has a crush on himĀ / and has no qualms about showing it though heās terrible at detecting these things as heās not the best with matters of the heart
someone he confides in that doesnāt know of his real identity / maybe like an online friend of some sort? someone that has a deep bond with him, not knowing who they are in real life
customers at his tattoo parlour / regulars? unexpected customers? people who appear allĀ āgoody two shoesā, like they would never get a tattoo, or nervous first-timers with a lot of questions
a customer at his sisterās flower shop / he took over when she had to run an errand and theyāre surprised to see him arranging the flowers in a pink apron, a big contrast from his usual image
people that are romantically involved with his sister / overprotective older brother here to scrutinise you if you even consider asking his sister out
forbidden love/friendships / people whose parents donāt like him or his family and are told to stay away from him but well, the more you tell them no, the more they want itĀ
fellow broken souls / because broken people get drawn to each other right?
