ddmmyy who i am

TAEHYUN NEVER REALLY MADE AN EFFORT TO FIT IN. BEING THE ONLY SON OF TWO DOCTORS - A CARDIAC SURGEON AND GYNECOLOGIST - HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER HIS HEART DESIRED; HIS PARENTS HADN'T HAD AS MUCH TIME FOR HIM AS THEY WANTED, WHICH LATER ON TURNED OUT TO BE THE CAUSE WHY THE BOY DIDN'T HAVE SIBLINGS. HE'S BEEN RAISED BY HIS GRANDMOTHER - A FEMALE WITH A WRINKLED FACE, AUSTERE STARE AND A WARM SMILE THAT COULD ENLIGHTEN ONE'S MOOD EVEN ON THE WORST OF DAYS - HAVING BEEN TAUGHT ALL THE BASICS OF SAVOIR-VIVRE, THE SECOND-NATURE SCIENCE THAT ALLOWED YOU TO LIVE COMFORTABLY WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE. YET DESPITE THIS KNOWLEDGE HE WAS HARDLY EVER SEEN PLAYING WITH OTHER KIDS HIS AGE. IT WAS COMMON FOR HIM TO BE STANDING SOMEWHERE BESIDE THE GROUP, TO BE THE ODD ONE OUT, THE ONE WHO'S MUCH BETTER ON HIS OWN THAN WITH COMPANY. IT USUALLY CAUSED A FEW CONCERNED GLANCES CROSS WITH HIS RATHER UNINTERESTED ONES, WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO TRY AND SOCIALIZE MUTTERED SECONDS LATER AND RESIGNED SHAKES OF THE ADULTS' HEADS WHO SOON LEARNT IT'S BETTER FOR HIM TO JUST STAY AS HE IS.

GROWING UP TAEHYUN WAS BELIEVED TO BE HIS PARENTS' SUCCESSOR OF INTELLECT AND HELPFULNESS - HAVING GREAT GRADES IN MEDICAL SCIENCES, HE WAS EXPECTED TO BECOME AS GREAT A DOCTOR AS THEY WERE. BUT HIS DESIRES TURNED OUT TO BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE'S EXPECTATIONS. HE'S FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE AT THE AGE OF 9. HAVING BEGGED HIS PARENTS AND GRANDMOTHER FOR PRIVATE LESSONS IN MUSIC, SPECIFICALLY PLAYING THE GUITAR HE EVENTUALLY FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO DEARLY ENJOY SOMETHING. HE'D PLAY THE INSTRUMENT DAY IN, DAY OUT, JOIN LOCAL COMPETITIONS OR PLAY ON CONCERTS ORGANIZED BY THE SCHOOL COUNCIL - EVERYTHING THAT CONCERNED HIM WITH HIS GUITAR IN HIS HANDS WAS WORTH TRYING OUT. AND SO, AFTER FINISHING HIGH SCHOOL WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST CERTIFICATES THE SCHOOL'S HEAD HAS EVER SEEN, A SCHOLARSHIP IN TOKYO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE IN HIS POCKET HE DECIDED TO EMPTY IT. INSTEAD OF JOINING THE THRONGS OF STUDENTS ON THE JAPANESE ISLANDS AND WORK HIS FINGERS TO THE BONE, HE TOOK ALL OF THE SAVINGS THAT WERE MEANT TO PROVIDE HIM A COMFORTABLE LIFE IN THE NEIGHBORING COUNTRY AND TRAVELLED AROUND THE WORLD.

AND ALIKE KEROUAC'S MOST MEMORABLE WORDS, TAEHYUN LIVED, TRAVELLED, ENCOUNTERED ADVENTURES, HAS BEEN BLESSED AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HE'S NEVER BEEN SORRY. THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIM WAS INFINITE, JUST LIKE HIS WILL TO FIND HIMSELF IN THE WORLD'S TURMOIL, THE UNBEATEN PATH AMONG THE HIGHWAYS, THE STILL PLACE IN BETWEEN THE LOUD ONES. TRAVELLING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STATES OF AMERICA, HE MADE AN UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF FRIENDS, WAS PART OF THEIR LIVES AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS LINKED TO IT - THE HIGHS AND LOWS, THE MOMENTS FILLED WITH LAUGHTER AND THOSE FLOODED WITH TEARS, MOMENTS OF STILLNESS AND MOMENTS OF WILDNESS, OF BIRTH AND DEATH, SMOKE AND BONES, LIQUOR AND DRUGS. IT'S NO MYSTERY THAT A GREAT NUMBER OF THOSE DEAR TO HIM PASSED AWAY, WAS IT DUE TO GREAT DISTANCE, LACK OF TIME OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE; YET ALL OF THOSE DISAPPEARANCES TAUGHT HIM THAT THERE WAS NO USE IN TRYING TO LIVE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. DESPITE HARDSHIPS THAT SEEMED TO BE LIKE RIVERS - ETERNAL AND NEVER-ENDING - THE SWEETNESS OF BUT A FEW MOMENTS WERE USUALLY ENOUGH TO COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE PAIN THAT LIFE BROUGHT WITH THE YEARS.

It all ends in tears anyway.

ddmmyy what i'm like

TIGHT-LIPPED BUT BLUNT, LONERSOME BUT STILL OUTGOING, PROUD BUT TIMID. TAEHYUN IS PRETTY MUCH A COMPLEX NET OF OPPOSITIONS THAT SEEM TO BE NEVER-ENDING. THE WAY HE TREATS PEOPLE DEPENDS MOSTLY ON HOW THAT APPEAR TO HIM, THE MAJORITY BEING BUT UNINTERESTING WAVES OF THE ETERNAL OCEAN OF PEOPLE. HIS MOST KNOWN AND RATHER UNCHANGEABLE CHARACTERISTICS ARE HIS BLUNTNESS, THE COURAGEOUS WAY OF BEING THAT CAUSES HIM MORE PROBLEMS THAN GOOD, THE PASSION HE TRIES TO ENTANGLE IN EVERYTHING HE DOES AND THE WILDNESS ONE COULD ONLY ACHIEVE IN THE COMPANY OF KINDRED SOULS. DYING TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY HE DOESN'T SHUN NOR IS HE SCARED OF ANYTHING. HE HASN'T HAD ANYONE WHO COULD BE COUNTED IN AS A ROMANTIC INTEREST - APART FROM HIM GUITAR - AND HE TENDS TO GET TIMID AROUND PEOPLE WHO HE FINDS APPEALING, PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY.

ddmmyy behind the scenes

001 / hi there. e u e

003 / i love every kind of plot, so there are no restrictions if it comes to genres - except for , which i'm not really talented in.
004 / replying takes me from a few hours to a few days, but commonly the first option. poke me after 3 to 4 days.
005 / i'm quite busy, so i might not be able to reply right away. i usually read replies once I get them, so you can be sure i'm already working on it, even if it might take a bit.
006 / if you wanna chat - hit me up per pm and remember to keep the wall clean!

ddmmyy a few scenarios

001; sleep on the floor

IT HAS BEEN TO LONG SINCE TAEHYUN'S FELT THE COLD BREEZE RUN THROUGH HIS LUNGS, ADVENTURE CHOKING HIM WITH GLEE AND HIS HEART JUMPING IN EXCITEMENT FOR THE NEW, THE UNKNOWN, THE SOMETHING - WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE - LYING THERE, WHERE THE SKY KISSES THE HORIZON. WOULD YOU BE UP TO ACCOMPANY HIM AND ALLOW YOUR HEART TO BE FILLED UP TO THE BRIM WITH THE SENSATION OF THE NEW AND UNEXPECTED? (ADVENTURE, DRAMA, POSSIBLE ANGST, FRIENDSHIP, POSSIBLE ROMANCE?)

002; OPHELIA

SAYING THAT THE CHOICE TAEHYUN MADE YEARS AGO WAS DELIBERATE OR "FOR HIS OWN GOOD" WOULD BE AN OVERSTATEMENT - HE'S BEEN BOTH AT HIS HIGHEST AND HIS LOWEST THROUGH HIS NEVER-ENDING JOURNEY FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, TEARS AND MUSIC. WOULD YOU HELP HIM OUT IF ONE DAY HE WAS STANDING BY YOUR DOOR, TEARS WELLING IN HIS EYES AND A MANTRA CONSISTING OF THE WORDS "I'M SO DUMB" CONSTANTLY LEAVING HIS LIPS? (MATURE THEME, DRAMA, ANGST, FRIENDSHIP)

003; norwegian wood

TAEHYUN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE... DIFFERENT. HE DIDN'T ACCEPT THE ORDINARY, NEVER WANTED TO BECOME PART OF THE COMMON AND WELL-KNOW; MUCH RATHER WANTIING TO BE LIKE ONE OF KEROUAC'S NOVELS OR GINSBERG'S POEMS. DESPITE HAVING GROWN - PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, GREATLY - HE STILL APPEARS TO BE JUST A BOY, WHO WANTS TO FIND HIS PLACE IN THE WORLD. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO HELP HIM SETTLE, LET HIM DRAG YOU INTO HIS WORLD OF ODDNESS AND MAGIC? (FIRST ENCOUNTERS, POSSIBLE FRIENDSHIP, SLICE OF LIFE)

004; CLEOPATRA

TAEHYUN HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHROUDED IN A VEIL OF SHADOWS - WERE IT IMAGES OF HIS PAST, HIS PECULIAR WAY OF BEING THAT APPEALED TO EVERYTHING PROBLEMATIC JUST LIKE TWO MAGNETS DID TO EACH OTHER OR JUST SPONTANEOUS INCIDENTS OF DAILY LIFE. YOU, TOO, WERE ONE OF THEM. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO DECIPHER THE BOY YOU'VE THOUGHT TO KNOW THAT WELL OR IS YOUR NEW ENCOUNTER GOING TO BE THE SECOND FIRST ONE? (PAST FRIENDSHIP, DRAMA?, ANGST?)

005; GONDRY

YOU'VE LOOKED LIKE ADVENTURE SINCE THE VERY FIRST MOMENT. YOUR WORDS WERE INTOXICATING LIKE RASPBERRIES IN SUMMER, YOUR LAUGHTER CLEAR AS THE HONEY-LIKE SUNRAYS OF THE EVENING, YOUR LIFE SWEET LIKE CINNAMON. WOULD YOU ALLOW HIM TO FALL FOR YOU COMPLETELY OR TRY TO RESCUE HIM FROM YOUR DEMONS? ("BAD BOY" NEEDED, ADVENTURE, ACTION, POSSIBLE ROMANCE, POSSIBLE )
