cards.

"wenjun... did you find a card, by any chance?" minki questions as he approaches the other boy, slightly confused. honestly, minki feels like he's been looking for quite a while to no avail, but for some reason he has a strong feeling that there's something where they stand right now. is it stubbornness? maybe, but he doesn't want to move on just yet! he knows there's something here!

"i have a strong feeling that we can find something in here, you know...." minki says, walking over to the @lgcwenjun with a huff. "i heard that someone got a drink me card, and i was wondering what that meant. would it be attached to something...? would we have to drink something? is it a challenge? do we get something out of it?"

maybe he's overthinking too much, that is, until he sees a piece of paper lodged between the floors. "oh wait, wenjun... i think i see something?" he blinks, crouching down and leaning closer. is that what he thinks it is? is it time for curiosity to kill the cat?

you & i. feat. @lgcwenjun

Call it instinct, or perhaps the quiet pull of a bond uniquely theirs, but Yoojoon has been feeling something deep in his gut—an ache that tells him Wenjun isn’t alright. There’s something off in the texts they’ve exchanged, something missing in Wenjun’s voice messages; that usual lilt at the end of his words, the subtle happiness he usually can’t hide when excited, isn’t there.

Something must have happened. And Yoojoon knows that Wenjun, more than anyone, isn’t one to share his burdens easily. He’s the kind to keep his worries contained, to shoulder them alone rather than pass them to others.

But Yoojoon is here for precisely that reason—he’s here to help carry those unspoken weights as both a boyfriend and a best friend.

It’s late in the evening, and the city is quiet by the riverside where Yoojoon waits, hoping that being close to the water, with the gentle sounds of ripples and wind, will offer some comfort.

They don’t live in the same dorm anymore, yet tonight, as they planned after schedules, Wenjun will walk up to meet him here, a bridge between their busy lives and the need for closeness that pulls them together.

When he finally sees Wenjun approaching in the dim light, Yoojoon feels the depth of that ache again—a mix of relief and concern. Without a word, he opens his arms, waiting with an embrace he knows Wenjun may need more than he’ll ever say.

this was all so different, a far departure from the normally lively persona misaki unconsciously embodied, standard performances he'd taken part in thus far during both his trainee and soon-to-be idol careers animated and excitable in ways today's stage wasn't. it's a change the youngest member of their group hadn't ever taken into consideration for himself, but it's one he can't say he dislikes.

no, on the contrary, it's a challenge misaki finds himself rather thrilled to take on. what thrills him the most, however, is being able to embark on something like this with wenjun, his opposite in many ways, but an inspiring beacon all the same.

far from considering himself the vocalist the company seems to believe him to be, misaki found himself determined from the very beginning of guerilla stage preparations to prove to everyone ( himself included ) that he could, indeed, match those expectations and more.

often single-minded and hyper-focused when something lit his fire, what better way to smash his duo stage out of the water than to lean fully into vocals? paired with another member as vocally capable as wenjun, misaki knows without a doubt that there isn't anything the two couldn't achieve— therein is born their stage.

the little prince.

it's a stark contrast to the rest of the acts that make up their concerts set lists, a tonal shift rather unexpected for someone like misaki, and as he takes to the stage with the older boy by his side, misaki does all he can to contain his excitement. today presents a great opportunity to reaffirm that he isn't a one-trick pony; to show that, while dancing will always be his focus, it's not because he's lacking in other avenues as a performer ( as an idol, true and determined to shine ).

today, he is one of two little princes. today, with his mischiviously cheshire-like grin and shimmering eyes, he is a singer.

today, misaki is happy.

harmless matchmaking fun.

PART ONE (because this got too long)

Time to get down to some serious business.

Cupid Seyoon was on the move, ready to hand out matching candies to his fated couples. He walked around the entire Halloween party ground, pretending to be innocently admiring people's costumes while in reality, diligently observed and schemed.

If any of his ships end up sailing after tonight and people get laid, he shall consider it his contribution to humankind and expect karmic rewards.

Please ctrl + f your character's first name if you don't want to read the whole thing. If I mentioned you, it's because you liked my plot call or told me on discord/twitter that you would not mind participating. Thanks everyone, for indulging me, this was so fun to write!

***Don't see your character? Probably in the next part (s)***

The first person he pulled to his side was Taeha (@lgctaeha), just to let her know that it was time. As Cupid's assistant and fellow Legacy shipper, he intended to take her opinions into consideration (because let's be real, his alone should not be trusted). Of course, he also had a match for her. "Here," he said, passing her a strawberry candy. It was identical to the one he had handed off to Wenjun (@lgcwenjun) earlier because he thought they would make such a cute couple. "Your match is tall, gorgeous and incredibly sweet. He's one of the only two men I really trust here at Legacy." Only the best for dear Taeha. Seyoon considered this ship sunshine x sunshine, and thought about everlasting summers.

He went to Yoojoon (@lgcyoojoon) next, because his brother's wellbeing was always on his mind. He handed him a peach candy, which was the same kind he had given to Milan (@lgcmilan). "Your match is a real peach," he promised Yoojoon after explaining his little game tonight. Milan was a pretty Christian girl and probably wanted a vanilla good boy. Who would be a better fit than his step brother? Nobody. Seyoon gave this ship the name of holy union, because both of the people involved were angels, at least in his eyes.

"Kiwi for you!" He grabbed a wild Ollie (@lgcoliver) by the back of his shirt as the guy was running past and placed a bright green candy into his hand. Seyoon planned to hand the matching candy off to Jaekyung (@lgcjaekyung) because she was really fun and could probably match Ollie's energy.

Seyoon looked down at the next candy he'd pulled out of his basket. It was watermelon, which was the flavor he gave to Yujin (@yujinlgc). The idea of matching her hurt, because she was a goddess and his idol, so nobody really deserved her. A part of him wanted to take the candy back for his Yujin shrine, but the other less selfish part wanted to find her someone. While contemplating, he accidentally bumped into Akio (@lgcakio), and ended up dropping the candy into his pocket. It would be weird to reach into his fellow trainee's pocket now and get the candy back, so instead he accepted fate and gave Akio a sulky look. "You better treasure her," he told the guy. All things considered, this one was not a bad option - Akio was a good man as far as he knew, better than a lot of the others.

Minjun (@lgcmjun) was a difficult one, because Seyoon still couldn't look at him without feeling the guilt. He assigned the guy grapefruit flavored candy, because that was Asher's favorite and gave the matching one to Jisoo (@lgcjisoo). Maybe back then, he, Jisoo and Asher were never meant to be a trio. Sometimes he wished he could go back and change things. This was his attempt, he supposed.

Perhaps BK (@lgcbk) would be confused about getting paired up with Sori (@lgcsori) via the apple candy but he should trust Seyoon's judgement. Sori was a cutie, especially whenever she got a bit tipsy. There might be a party girl hiding inside and those rosy cheeks were incredibly charming, which he highly doubted any man could resist.

Who on the earth should he pair up with Yuxi (@lgcyuxi)? She was real spicy with guys, but Seyoon had seen her interacting better with the ladies. Since Yuxi was working with the cool older sister vibe, he figured he'd find her someone with a little sister look. Maybe Amelia (@lgcamelia) would be a good choice! They can enjoy their raspberry candies together.

lost in translation

ft. @lgcwenjun

it was definitely tiring, but at the same time, it was refreshing; welcoming, even. the training period had been exhausting and, most of time, minjun just wanted to sleep when the vocal, dancing, and rapping lessons to end but he knew there was also some room for some more.

And this was exciting - and a little shameful- because getting feedback on his lack of skill in another language ruined some of his plans. sometimes he wished people had pointed that out earlier so he could fix it, but the opportunity was right there right now and he wasn't going to miss it.

"oh, fancy meeting you here." minjun smiled, as soon as the familiar face of his former roommate came into focus - oh, the English classes just got more interesting. "are you going to be my partner?"

MARCO POLO › @lgcwenjun

  a list of things rowon currently does not have:

a basket, apparently buying more than three items is not the norm.

cell service, which wouldn’t be a huge problem if not for the next point.

lai wenjun, shopping buddy.

  they’ve been tasked to buy the ’non-produce’ ingredients for dinner – chicken, chili paste, and a few cans of this and that. it’s supposed to be a fun trip to the grocery store, a quick grab and go, but now – “wenjun?” okay. so. maybe maybe maybe it’s on him for suggesting that they split up, but in his humble defense, he didn’t know the layout of the store was going to be this confusing.

  rowon pokes his head above an aisle. “wenjun?” he calls out again, this time a little louder. still nothing. he readjusts the ingredients in his arms ( the store should really invest in baskets ) and continues pacing the small store. “wenjun!”

[lgcsujin]

practice session @lgcwenjun

Somebody he didn't know very well died, and he ordered a bouquet from his mother's store to support her business.

There was a bit of a wait at the pick up. No line, just one awful human being deciding his time was more important than everybody else's. To add to Sujin's irritation, the idiot wasn't even there for flowers, he was trying to pick up the guy arranging them.

"He's taken." Sujin joined the two at the counter. "Get lost." Or die. The chill in his eyes made it clear that there was no third option.

The man wisely chose to live. Well done.

"Wenjun," Sujin sighed. "You are too nice. Don't give these people any of your time." His mom's employees weren't his responsibility, but he had time to kill today since one should never rush to attend a funeral. Might as well offer some advice. "Here, let's practice." He leaned over the counter the way the other guy did when he walked in. "Pretend I am the asshole from earlier, aggressively hitting on you and being a pest. Tell me to fuck off."

[lgchyoseop]

oh crab

         hyoseop didn’t know what it was like being from a completely other country, actually he’d never been to another country than korea. he didn’t know what it was like not speaking korean. but he did know what it was like being new, he moved with his dad away into the city, leaving behind his sister and mom, he went to school completely new, and his dad getting busy as his career was taking off. hyoseop had always been fairly good at being new though, it was never a very big struggle. but he knew some people could struggle with in, and hyoseop always wanted to welcome new people in with big open arms.

wenjun had been in korea and legacy for around two years, the other joined the company at the same time as hyoseop. though hyoseop couldn’t help wenjun much on the trainee stuff, he did want to help the other learn korean and make friends around the company. he’s invited wenjun to the beach today, holding his shoes in his hands as he walks in the low water. “do you like the beach?” he looks up at wenjun with a smile, which quickly turns confused. looking down he lets out a shriek, shaking his foot which has now been attacked by a crab.

piece of home

while leo wasn't born and raised in china, he did spend five beautiful years in the country. some times he would catch himself thinking about the beautiful landscapes and the people that he knew there. during his time there he had grown into a relatively popular esports player. but now he was on a new dream. not necesarily better, but brighter. today he was seeing someone that reminded him of his younger self. so full of hope on the biggest journey of his life. and he was determined to be there for him.

leo remembers the first time he left australia for china and then china for korea. each time was horrifyingly scary. new landscape, new people, new everything. he knew that wenjun had been in the country for awhile now, but every now and then he knew that people would get homesick. he still did, even now. so he decided to visit the one place he knew @lgcwenjun would be.

leo walked into the beautiful flower shop. he was instantly hit with the various beautiful fragrances that all congregated in the small shop. when he walked in he tried his best to be quit, to hopefully surprise the younger male. he walked up behind the male with a smile plastered on his face. "the flowers are almost as pretty as my dede"

[lgcjungmo]

he's just not that into you

did jungmo receive flowers often? no but whenever he had his violin recitals, his brother would show up at the end with a bouquet that eventually wilted. otherwise, that's most of his experience so when he came face to face with a bouquet of pretty baby blue flowers from one wenjun, he was confused. then his confusion turned into realization before it morphed into something akin to smug.

jungmo accepted the bouquet with a smirk painted on his face. "ahh, i knew it. you like me, right? why else would you give me this?" it's not the first time someone's liked him and he knew it wouldn't be the last time either. it's a good boost to his ego, he's not going to lie about that.

"i'm not really looking for a relationship right now, you know? honestly, if you're down for something non-committal, i'm game for that at least." shifting the flowers from his right arm to the left, jungmo reached his hand out to pat wenjun on the shoulder. "you're super cute and all, but maybe we should just be friends."

worry.

it looks like they are a step closer towards debut.

naturally, the road towards debut isn't anything short of obstacles. if anything, there are more thrown their way, lots of things that they need to improve on. even though minki categorized himself as a rather late addition to the team, he thinks that each member complete one another in a way. it's too early to tell or say, but he's capable of everyone's abilities. he's sure that each one of them will reach their end goal.

even if there's a little bit of scolding here and there, to get them on the right track.

the truth is, minki is worried over @lgcwenjun. well, minki often is—out of everyone he knows, wenjun is one of the friends that minki can't help but fret about. wenjun is gullible after all, easily influenced and dragged around. this time though, it's not because wenjun might be pulled into some shady business or getting scammed. he remembers the stern lecture that was directed wenjun's way.

he approaches the other boy with a smile, cup of coffee in hand, fuel for their packed day ahead. "how are you doing?" minki asks, clear concern laced in his voice. "are you okay?" he doesn't want to push, but he hopes wenjun trusts minki enough to confide in him regardless.

[lgcyoojoon]

i promise. feat. @lgcwenjun

They stroll side by side, the suffocating summer heat having slowly softened with the onset of evening, making it more comfortable to navigate the city with masks and caps for privacy;

As somewhat public known people, going on dates can be challenging, but there's something Yoojoon has longed to do for the longest time—a dream he never believed could come true because the idea of Wenjun reciprocating his feelings seemed so far-fetched.

Yet here they are, with shared feelings and an official title, standing before the Cartier store in the heart of Gangnam, which has been expecting Yoojoon's scheduled visit.

Before they enter, Yoojoon halts and turns to Wenjun, his smile hidden by his mask but evident in the way his eyes crinkle at the corners. "Here's my surprise. It’s not... anything grand, but I hope you’ll like it." he says, his voice brimming with excitement and a touch of nervousness.

( Yoojoon hasn't thought much about whether this might seem too flashy or simply too much to Wenjun. But there's no turning back now—the matching bracelets have been ready for a while. )

"After you," Yoojoon says with a gracious bow, like a knight inviting a prince into his castle, gesturing for Wenjun to step inside when the security guard opens the door.

YELLOW LEMON TREE @lgcwenjun

With two or three items, a to-do list could serve as good motivation. Two or three pages though, the list would become something worthy of fear, deserving of avoidance.

Thankfully, Seyoon was good at that - looking away from his problems.

Since the rest of his dormmates were out, Seyoon figured he needed not to shave, put on proper pants, or cover the dark circles under his eyes. He was free to look like hell because for once he had no one he needed to impress.

To add to his day of degenerate behaviors, he took a seat on the kitchen counter where people typically prepared food, tugging down his pajama shorts so they'd cover his entire ass from the cold surface. Life sucks, he thought as he lit his stolen cigarette, but his lips sang a cheery-sounding song.

I wonder how. I wonder why. Yesterday, you told me about the blue, blue sky. And all I can see is just a yellow lemon tree.

He turned the cooking vent on low and kept the cigarette under it, tapping absently into his makeshift ashtray - a mostly empty jar of homemade kimchi that tasted weird in those last few bites. A shitty breakfast to start off a shitty day.

I'm turning my head up and down.

Footsteps approached and since they sounded familiar, Seyoon didn't move. He kept his eyes on the kimchi jar until he heard the door shut behind the visitor. "Sup." Lackluster greeting. "He's not here." Seyoon curved his lips and flashed his teeth, but it was not a smile Wenjun should recognize. "I mean Yoojoon. Ya know, your boyfriend."

And all I see is another fucking lemon tree.

"Oh hey, have you two started fucking yet?" He laughed, even though he hadn't said anything funny.
