🌊 GREETINGS FROM YUSEONG BAY !

JUST LANDED: AHN, KIHA. / / FROM: SOUTH KOREA. / / AGE: 27.

–––– ( FOLLOW ? ) / / ( READ MORE ? ) / / ( MAILBOX ? )

hey, grandpa,

how are things there in the farm? are the tangerines growing well this season too? is kihwan hyung helping properly? we all know he means well but it isn't just because he makes grandma laugh a lot that you should let him get away with his pranks, let kijun hyung scold him properly if you can't do it; and talking about which, how is kijun hyung? is he still having trouble trying to flirt with mrs. kim's granddaughter? i always try to ask him but he refuses to tell me about it. i don't know if it's because he knows i'll tease him about wanting nephews and/or nieces or if it's because he's embarrassed about making no progress because of how he always looks like he's in a bad mood and because he knows i'll nag him about it.

do you think if i write a song for him to serenade her he'll do it? genuine question, hehe.

i know you're curious about the reason why i'm sending you this letter when we've talked on the phone just a couple of days ago or how i could just make another call or ask kijun hyung or kihwan hyung to help set up a video call but i might've done something that makes me a little embarrassed to see you or hear your voice. your favorite grandson might've done something disappointing. shocking, right? i know that you're probably reading this and shaking your head because how could your baby kiki do something to disappoint you, huh?

( kiha heaves a sigh, staring at the paper for a long pause while fidgeting with the pen in his hand. he ponders if he should start a whole new letter, too tempted to cross out all of that last sentence — or even the whole paragraph — and also because now he feels stuck, unsure how to continue writing the rest of it; perhaps because it finally got to the whole reason why he was contacting his grandfather this way or simply because he's still struggling to organize his own thoughts and feelings. kiha feels a ghost pain on the knuckles of his right hand. )

grandpa, have you ever felt like you made a mistake but only realized it too late? or that you told a lie that started so small that it felt like it was the truth and then it just kept growing and growing until it became too big but by then everything else was already ruined so now you have no choice but to cling to it for dear life? because if you admit that it was a lie— that it was a mistake then it feels like all the things that you did, everything you sacrificed was in vain? was it? were all the parts of myself that i threw away for the sake of my dream in vain? were the tears that i swallowed down, all the pain and burden that i endured on my own were worth nothing in the end? was music even

( kiha lets out another sigh, one as shaky as his hands suddenly are while he thinks about his career— about fourteen years old kiha going to seoul to chase his big dreams, how he failed once but then tried again; how he thought this time it'd work— how he was determined that this group would work; how he turned twi5t into his whole world because he was the leader and therefore their failure was on his shoulders as the leader; he thinks about how he watched everything fall apart, crumble into pieces that could never be put together, not when they were barely holding it together anyway. then he remembers all the times that he bowed his head and was the target of scoldings for mistakes that weren't his own; then he remembers a taunting smile and even more malicious words spoken just because they knew that they'd trigger him into breaking their nose. )

i'm sure you already heard about the news by now and the rumors that followed right after, but i also know that you'll respect my time and wait for me to bring it up first, that you and grandma and kijun hyung and kihwan hyung will always want to know my side of the story before anything else and i'm very grateful for it, i really am.

( "even if i don't deserve it." kiha comments under his breath, but keeps that part out of the letter. )i promise i'll explain everything and apologize properly, but would you let me be selfish one more time? i was thinking that this might be a good time to spend some time in yuseong bay again, help you and grandma and my brothers too, maybe get kihwan hyung to behave and kijun hyung to get a date with mrs. kim's granddaughter; but i also honestly hope that i'll help myself there too, that i'll turn back into the grandson that always brought you nothing but pride and joy. ps: i'll bring a friend with me as well. i won't even ask if it's ok because you probably know who it is anyway and are already telling grandma to prepare the guest room and that extra fruits basket, aren't you? if i didn't know any better, i'd say that he was your grandson not me.

hope to see you soon.

from your second favorite grandson,

ahn kiha.

AK-J

.

The official Kijun intro:

Full name: Ahn Ki Jun  ( 안기준 )   Age: 25 DOB: April 28th (Taurus)   Height: 5′11″ (181cm) Nationality: South Korean Hometown: Daejeon, South Korea      Based in: Seoul Languages: Korean, Japanese  

Facts:

- Kijun is a musician/kpop idol

- He is a part of the group INVT, a 5 member boy group under ZTA Entertainment. I will probably never make the other members in game, because I’m not really interested in portraying the group, but rather Kijun’s personal life. But, because I’m me, of course I have all the details figured out. So:

INVT is an abbreviation for ‘invitation’ or ‘invite’. It means that the group wants to use themselves and their music to “invite their audience to…” or “extend an invitation to…” do, feel, experience etc. The fandom name is RSVP(s)  

Kijun’s positions in the group are: Main dancer, vocalist, sub-rapper and songwriter/composer (alongside SIK/Jeongsik, another member I’ve mentioned before). 

Kijun’s stage name is AK-J (his initials, stylized after the AK gun models). When he was a trainee, people would often compare him to an AK-47, for his power and precision and would call him AK-Jun. He later took it on as his stage name. 

- Kijun has a background in contemporary dance and hip hop and is recognized among other idols (and the industry) for his dancing. 

- Among fans, Kijun is known for never having black hair and always wearing black clothes. He hasn’t had black hair since his trainee days. 

- He also plays the piano.

Transarterial radioembolization versus concurrent chemoradiation therapy for locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma: A propensity score matching analysis

Publication date: Available online 6 June 2017 Source:International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics Author(s): Jeong Eun Song, Kyu Sik Jung, Do Young Kim, Kijun Song, Jong Yun Won, Hye Woon Lee, Beom Kyung Kim, Seung Up Kim, Jun Yong Park, Sang Hoon Ahn, Jinsil Seong, Kwang-Hyub Han PurposeIt is unclear whether the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) and transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with Yttrium-90 (Y) are comparable, in patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods and MaterialsIn total, 209 treatment-naive patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B or C who were treated with TARE or CCRT were analyzed. Propensity scores (PS) were calculated and matched at a 1:1 ratio for TARE vs. CCRT using age, tumor size, tumor number, portal vein thrombosis, and BCLC staging. In CCRT, concurrent hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil was delivered at a dose of 500 mg/day during the first and last 5 days of radiation therapy (median 45 Gy). Overall survival (OS), freedom from progression (FFP), tumor response, and complication rate were compared between TARE and CCRT groups.ResultsAmong 209 patients, 124 (62 on TARE, 62 on CCRT) were selected upon PS matching. OS (TARE vs. CCRT, 14.0 months vs. 13.2 months, P=0.435) and FFP (6.9 months vs. 7.8 months, P=0.437) were comparable between the two groups. Objective response rates (ORR) at 1 month post-treatment were higher for CCRT than for TARE (46.8% vs. 16.1%, P <0.001), while ORRs at 3 months were significantly higher for TARE than for CCRT (39.3% vs. 21.4%, P=0.04). There was no significant difference in long-term response rates (at 6 months and 1 year) between the two groups. The CCRT group experienced a higher rate of curative resection or liver transplantation after treatment than the TARE group, although the statistical significance was marginal (24.2% vs. 11.3%, P=0.060). Treatment-related complications were less frequent following TARE than CCRT.ConclusionsBoth treatments yielded comparable survival rates and long-term response rates in patients with intermediate- or advanced-stage HCC. The role of these modalities as a bridge to curative therapy requires further investigation.

Teaser

Both transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) result in comparably good treatment outcomes in locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but it is unclear if they are of similar efficacy or have similar safety profiles. We compared the effectiveness of these modalities in patients with locally advanced HCC. Treatment outcomes for TARE and CCRT were comparable, but the role of two modalities as bridge to curative therapy requires further investigations. http://ift.tt/2sfeSAB

I edited the first picture a while ago on a stream; I never liked how it turned out and I thought I would go back and work on it again, but that’s not going to happen.

 So I figured I might as well post it.

The second picture is unedited.

This is another picture I had sitting around. I took this picture five months ago. I thought it was a lost cause and couldn’t stand looking at it. But I was able to make it decent enough.

Random QOTD: Pick and oc and describe what they're like on two hours of sleep

Kijun

Okay, this is interesting because it depends on the situation that he’s in and who he’s dealing with. 

- If he needs to perform/ be up on stage/ anything to do with work, you won’t be able to tell that he’s only had 2 hours of sleep; if you know him well enough then maybe you’ll be able to see that he’s a bit more tense than normal.

- If he’s only had 2 hours of sleep and he’s been pushing on continuously (especially if he hasn’t really gotten much sleep the past few days) and he’s around his group members or close friends, then most of them would describe him as scary. Kijun is generally even-keel but if he’s pushed far enough, they know not to mess with him; don’t touch him, don’t talk to him. He gets very intense. 

- If he’s just dealing with general people on 2 hours of sleep, he would just seem even more quiet and drawn-in than usual.

- If he’s in a romantic relationship, and in private with his partner, he just becomes more clingy and stubborn when he’s tired.
