so he’s got bad roommate etiquette, sue him. what would you expect a guy to do with nearly 24 hours to himself in an empty studio? so he cleaned up like daniel had asked and went about enjoying his day alone. which—didn’t mean he had to spend it alone alone. and for an above average (if you ask him) looking single dude in nyc on the weekends, nights not spent alone meant nights spent with the company of a warm body. 

which, had been a concept that ethan assumed both he and his roommate and majority of the male population understood—as proved by the quick slam of the door just a minute or so ago. “ignore him,” he mumbles into the kiss, thumbing the underwire of her (introducing: casey something from the gyro cart just two blocks from here with the heart stopping smile and pretty hazel eyes; though fair, he’s not looking at either right now) bra. “it’s just my roommate.”

more like, landlord. more like, the generous host he’s been leeching on.

so, when daniel kim bursts back in—he has little to say beyond the frustrated groan that slips out. “dude, seriously?” 

ethan pulls back with a scowl, indignation visible on his face when daniel goes further to utterly ruin his game. “C-CHLAMYDIA?” excuse the voice crack, he’s in distress. “yo—stop spreading lies man—hey!—” he reaches out too late for the girl pulling away from his embrace, awkward with her stuttering and quick goodbyes. “he’s just joking, seriously—” but there goes casey something, straight out the door without so much as a goodbye.

"seriously?” ethan redirects his scowl to daniel, nose scrunching in distaste. “why don’t you just go ahead and tell her i got the syph—rude as hell.”

he’s not sure why he’s walking out of his apartment right now.​ like, it doesn’t make sense, right? for him to be sexiled out of the place he’s the only one paying rent for? maybe it’s the initial shock getting to him—i mean, no guy comes home from an eighteen-hour shift expecting an over-glorified squatter making out with some random girl on his couch, so, naturally, as soon as daniel opened that front door, he was quick to immediately close it right after. 

but wait, did his eyes deceive him? is ethan really wearing his fucking shirt right now?

“alright, party’s over,” daniel finally greets as he storms back into the apartment with newfound anger and agitation. “you,” he points to the girl. “get out. and that guy—” he points to ethan now. “—is a freeloader who also happens to have a sick case of chlamydia right now. i’d run while you still can.”

sticky keyboards, discarded candy wrappers, crumpled up receipts, black on black, empty coffee cups and energy drinks, screened calls, empty vape cartridges. those are a few things that remind me of ethan seon, the 22 year old freelancer. every time i see them, they are snappy on a bad day but can be easygoing most of the time. whenever i hear dying in a hot tub by palaye royale, i just know they’re nearby. (thuy, 21+, pst, she/her)

* yeah ik the avatar is unserious asf but i’m holding onto it i love it sm

born in seoul and technically raised in honolulu

as a first gen immigrant with parents who lowkey hate it there (mom does at least, but nobody likes having to live so close with the inlaws) ethan spends about every summer from grade to middle school bouncing back to seoul 

which was fun at first till all of childhood besties find other besties n lol he hates it here

nevertheless, as the youngest in a family of four - he’s pretty spoiled! (how can you not spoil him)

not the most studious kid growing up but he got decent grades (due to parental pressure lol)

eventually moved to nyc for college, majored in computer engineering (whew yes i know he dont look like the type)

decidedly stayed in the city post graduation, told his parents he wanted to look at job options here (but hasn’t actually after the first few interviews)

essentially ethan abhors the whole asskissing thing and power dynamics in companies so he’s currently working as a freelancer creating/designing websites for people (while also freeloading at his college buddy’s place)

personality

easygoing as hell, ethan more so often prefers the easy way out rather than dealing with anything too difficult/taxing on his mentality (so if it’ll shut u the hell up he’ll just Agree with it)

which makes for him to be a great friend but not so much on the boyfriend standpoint 

hes a total slob lol literally the stereotypical tech guy who makes $$$ per job but owns like 0 furniture and the same 7 clean monochrome hoodies

loves food but doesn’t know how to cook (though he does get inspired by tiktok vids and goes out of his way to buy ingredients just to Not... make them)

slick talker ngl (why do you think hes living at @spygl4ss​‘s paying 0 rent rn) 

connections

college bros? cmon the best years of yalls lives spent together and now its time to face the real world and maybe you’re getting there but ethans just Not...

currently not looking for a rls bc they’re sm effort lol but he is on the market for chill fwb types so hmu 

exes! i love exes lets go 

i got 0 ideas rn but im down for anything hmU!!!!
