possibly vaguely important so i didn’t put a read more but i just wanted to say that my activity will probably be spotty for a bit.. i’ve recently been doing training for work, and i just got a bunch of upcoming shifts to do before the madness that is opening weekend. i’m actually finding it to be more stressful than i thought it would be, so sorry for any inactivity, but i’ve got a few days off starting tomorrow so i’ll get to some replies and plotting dms then! i may ask for a hiatus later if it comes to that, but for now, i’ll see how i can manage

“I know plenty of girl group dances. They’re fun to learn.” Honestly, sometimes he questions himself knowing so many girl group dances. Maybe it’s because they’re fun to learn or something. He has free time sometimes and doesn’t really know how to spend it, so why not? He’s sure there’s other people that would do the same too. Though, when you see him actually dancing to girl groups in front of others is probably when he’s with someone or he’s just trying to be an idiot. You can’t blame him for that.

“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with knowing girl group dances, I’m sure they are very fun to learn.” Not that Taesung would know, he tried his best to avoid any sort of dancing in public unless he was heavily intoxicated ( which he usually wasn't ). “Besides, at least you can dance; I'm absolutely terrible.” He gave a laugh. “Two left feet, as the saying goes.” Honestly, he didn’t mind being unable to dance without looking like some kind of awkwardly waddling penguin, but it did get kind of embarrassing after a while.

           if eunjae was struggling with four bags of groceries ( courtesy of his grandmother, who had texted him the longest list he had ever seen ), that was really no one else’s business but his. however, it hadn’t stopped him from huffing in annoyance, hands pulling at the bags & stopping every few seconds to catch his breath. ❝ stupid, heavy bags ! ❞ he snapped in english, dropping them with a thump & taking the opportunity to collapse against the staircase, taking up as much space as possible. when he felt settled, he pulled his phone out, switching to a playlist & letting it play ( & he very much intended to lie there for as long as possible, until someone came along to do the rest of the work for him ).

In high spirits, Taesung decided to take the stairs up to his apartment instead of the elevator as he usually did. He had just come back from the local bookstore, having managed to snag one of the last few copies of a newly released book that he was excited to read. When he entered the stairwell, however, he was surprised to hear music echoing around from somewhere above him.

“I wonder who that could be,” he murmured aloud to himself. It was a little strange for someone to be playing their music out loud in a stairwell, as opposed to in their own apartment or through a pair of headphones. Deciding to go investigate, he jogged up the stairs until he came to find a young man sprawled out with several bags of groceries.

“Do you need any help with those?” Taesung asked politely, loud enough to be heard clearly over the other man’s music. He counted the bags surrounding the man quickly. “Four bags seems like a lot for just one person to carry.”

Taesung: i would love to help you, but i don't want to help if its gonna get you killed

LOOKING UP AT who had helped her, a genuine smile formed on her face and hana had to force herself to stop laughing like an idiot. “thank you,” she placed her hand in his before looking down at her ankle. “my ankle hurts a little but i think it should be fine,” she responded and pushed herself off of the ground but found herself gripping onto his hand tightly when she felt the pain shoot up from her ankle. “okay maybe not, my ankle doesn’t seem very happy with the fact i don’t watch where i’m going.” she adjusted her standing position so she wasn’t putting weight on her injured ankle. “i’ll be fine though, thank you and i’m sorry, i hope i didn’t disturb you with my clumsy self. this happens quite a lot, i’m always falling over.”

When the woman’s grip tighten on his hand and she shifted her weight, Taesung reached out his other hand to her arm to try to help stabilize her some more. “Don’t worry about apologizing, it’s honestly no trouble at all,” He flashed her quick smile “I’m glad to be able to help.”

He glanced down towards her ankle, though he couldn’t really make out much. “Your ankle is hurting then?” He hummed a little in thought. “If it’s also swollen it might be sprained. Of course, I’m no medical expert, but those are some of the common signs of a sprain... Do you think you should get your ankle looked at? I could help you if you need to go somewhere. Oh!” Taesung exclaimed suddenly. “I haven’t even introduced myself! My name is Jung Taesung, it’s nice to meet you. I guess it would be a bit strange to offer to take you somewhere when we don’t even know each other, sorry.”

@jungtsung 

natsumi had a day to herself, meaning she had no work, no school, and no projects. it was definitely clear that she slept in — real late too. so, of course, the mail had already come and she got ready to go out and grab it. quickly brushing through her hair, she put on her shoes and headed out the door.

the apartment complex is so huge — i wonder how long it takes the carrier to put the mail in all the mailboxes ?? natsumi wondered, surely he’s made loads of mistakes, right ??

sure enough, she was right, and she had the proof right in her hand. the carrier had accidentally mixed up apartment number 343 and 306′s mail, though she wasn’t sure how he could get such different numbers such as that mixed up. but, she took the mistaken mail and went up to apartment 343 to give it back. when she arrived, she knocked on the door, hopefully loud enough for whoever lived inside to hear.

‘ uh … the mail was mixed up. i have your mail here … ’ she spoke when the door opened.

Having worked the morning shift at the flower shop, Taesung was happy to be home in his apartment. The shop hadn’t actually been too busy, it was just that Taesung had, admittedly, probably stayed up a little too late re-reading one of his favorite novels. It wasn’t as if he didn’t know what was going to happen, but it was his favorite for a reason and he found that he couldn’t put it down until it was finished.

‘Maybe I’ll take a short nap,’ Taesung thought to himself as he finished eating the light lunch he’d prepared. Really, he should’ve known better than to stay up so late, but now he had to deal with the consequences.

Just as he was putting his dishes in the sink, there came a knock on his door. Heading over quickly, not wanting whoever was on the other side to get impatient and leave, he opened the door.

‘ uh … the mail was mixed up. i have your mail here … ’

Ah, right! This young woman at his door had to be from apartment #306. Taesung had completely forgotten about the mixed up mail he grabbed earlier after getting back from work! Being tired had made him hungry, and he got distracted by his quest for food, so much so that any thoughts of the mail mix up had slipped his mind entirely.

Mix ups had happened a few times in the past year of him living in the apartments, but he was sure it had to be at least somewhat difficult for the mail carriers to sort everyone’s mail timely. Mistakes were bound to happen, right? Besides, he had gotten to meet some nice people in the building through mixed up mail, so he had never minded the whole ordeal too much. Even now, he was getting to meet a brand new neighbor, one who lived close to him too!

“I guess you’re from apartment #306 then, right? I’m so sorry, I have your mail inside and I just completely forgot to bring it to you.” Taesung gave a sheepish smile. “Would you like to come in? I can make you some tea or something. Unless you have somewhere to be, then, by all means, don’t let me hold you up.”

looking for opinions on a jinhae discord server, full post below

so i know i’m not an admin or anything and i only joined kinda recently but i could set up/help set up a discord sever for jinhae like @yajiae suggested if people wanted it? (sorry for tagging you even though we haven’t really interacted, i just thought you would want to see this) i’m actually pretty familiar with discord, and it seems like a lot of people here aren’t? but this is just recently being brought up so i’m not sure if it’s actually something people would want.

i just popped online quickly and i’m heading out soon but i thought i’d post this so people can see it and kinda start thinking about the idea of a jinhae server? i guess this is also kinda directed at admin a (@ofhanas ), since it’s your rp and i don’t know what you were planning since you got discord

but yeah i dunno, just let me know if it’s something people want and/or if you’d like help setting up a discord server?

Kangmin: Like do you ever just sit there and like...really get freaked out about it

taesung: aren't there more now though?

taesung: i thought i saw something about there being more 'lady smurfs'

taesung: but even if there are more it was definitely weird

taesung: why only have one female smurf? is it relevant to the plot in some way? i never paid much attention to smurf related things

[SMS] Taesung ✉️➠ Jay

jay: big news ! i'm locked out and strongly considering climbing up the side of the building to sneak in through my own window

jay: what's a few broken bones and a concussion right

jay: anyway pick a number from 1-5

Taesung: alternatively, you could just call management??

Taesung: and i mean i could be wrong but i'm fairly certain that you're not spider-man, so please don't try to scale any walls

Taesung: i pick number four

Taesung: take it as a sign from the universe not to do this

♕    —   CLOSED. ┊@jungtsung

LOUD LAUGHTER LEFT her lips as she pushed her now messy hair out of her face quickly and ignored the pain in her ankle as she shifted on the floor. she hadn’t been watching where she was going and always a clumsy girl, hana found herself tripping over her own foot and landing in the grass courtyard outside the apartment complex. normally she would’ve found herself running away in complete embarrassment but who was she kidding? it was pretty funny for her so she was sure it would’ve been even funnier for anyone watching the scene unfold in front of them. “do you think you can help me up?” she asked a figure nearby, still unable to stop her own laughter while her ankle throbbed painfully. “did that look as stupid as i feel?”

The weather in Jinhae had been so nice that Taesung couldn’t resist taking advantage of it and going outside to the courtyard to read one of his books today. He hadn’t been outside long though, not long enough to get completely absorbed in his book anyway when the loud laughter of a nearby young, dishevelled looking woman distracted him.

“It didn’t look stupid, it looked like it hurt,” he said, setting his book down and approaching her before crouching down closer to where she was on the ground. “Here,” Taesung offered her his hand. “Do you think you’re okay to stand? Have you hurt yourself anywhere? Honestly,” he let out a small laugh. “It seems like you just took quite the tumble.”

hello, hello!! i go by malachy or mal (they/them, 19, gmt -4:00), and this is my muse jung taesung!! he’s a bit of a mess, but the kind of mess that seems like they have their life together, y’know? there’s more about him down below, so have a look if you wanna get to know him. i’ve got some wanted connections here, and i’m always down for plotting so either like this post or shoot me a message if you wanna talk!!

taesung was born september 02, 1993 in busan, south korea

he’s from a pretty well off family, where money was never really an issue. i mean they weren’t exactly rolling in it, but they never struggled to make ends meet and had enough to buy a few luxuries here and there

his family is actually pretty simple? both of his parents are just honest, hardworking people from some kind of corporation/company i dunno don’t look at me this detail isn’t too important okay. they’re high school sweethearts who married kinda young but it still worked out for them

he had a really average upbringing; nuclear family, two working parents, one son. he spent a lot of time with his maternal grandparents growing up, due to his parent’s schedules but he got on with them well and really enjoyed his experiences with them

in secondary school he met and fell in love with a girl, and they dated for years. yup, he thought she was gonna be the one, like with his parents, but it turns out that over time her feelings just weren’t as strong anymore. certainly not as strong as his

she didn’t want to hurt him anymore than she had to, so she broke things off with him sometime before they graduated, saying honestly that if she stayed with him she thought she wouldn’t be truly happy down the line and that it wasn’t right to keep seeing him knowing that that was the way she felt. she just didn’t love him anymore the same way he loved her, and it wasn’t fair to give him false hope for a future she didn’t see with him

so they broke up, and they tried to stay friends, since neither of them wanted to lose each other or their connection, but it wasn’t quite that straightforward. it was easy to fall into the awkwardness, and eventually they just kinda stopped talking

it hurt, but taesung was feeling kinda insecure since she was the one to dump him, and he didn’t want to push her too much incase he ruined thing between them for good so he let her go

he doesn’t hold any ill feelings towards her, but once the class of 2011 graduated he kinda just wanted to get away for a while. there were so many memories in busan, and he wanted some time to clear his head and figure himself out before moving onto more studying

his parents supported him, knowing how much she had meant to him and how upset he had been by the break up, and helped set him up with a small apartment in osaka, japan

he lived in osaka for a year before coming back to go to university and finish studying

in osaka he kinda got his head back on straight and stopped being so insecure about himself just because he got dumped. if it didn’t work out, it didn’t work out. he still never really got over her though, as she was his first love and he had really thought they would get married and grow old together like his parents

he tried dating once in japan, one of the boys he befriended asked him on a date, but it didn’t work out. he was attracted to him and liked being with him but he just couldn’t forget about his sweetheart. then he understood what she meant about not loving someone as much as they loved you, and how unfair it was to lead them on

he literally hasn’t dated since, he doesn’t think it’s for him since he believes that a part of his heart will always belong to his first love and he wants to love someone with all his heart, not just most of it

while attending university back in busan, he started kinda experimenting with people and the different types of relationships people were looking for. he couldn’t love them fairly, but that didn’t mean that he wanted to spend the rest of his days alone

so he started being some sort of friend with benefits/benefactor there’s no other way to put it to people. i mean, it’s college, everyone’s broke and horny. no better place to try it out right?

and it actually turned out pretty good too. for the most part, it was always no strings attached, just two friends having fun together without being exclusive. here and there there’d be someone who fell for him legitimately, but nothing ever came of it and the situations seemed to be resolved fairly simply

he likes taking care of people, whether it be giving them a warm bed to sleep in and some cuddles if their heater was broken, buying them dinner or cooking them breakfast, or helping them out with some small expenses here and there

he continued with these kinds of casual relationships even after graduating from university since they seemed to actually be what he was looking for

after finishing university, taesung moved out of his family home and got his own apartment

he’s only been living in jinhae, south korea for about a year at this point
