@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /even though it’s true he was being extra, you’re talking to now a graduating year student and you’re a high schooler. So the chance of him knowing that term’s specifics was small/ what, like extraordinary? Cause if ya think so, thanks~ /he grins putting a v on his chin, flattered/ i /can/ be a cool senior~
/blinks as you decide you’ll choose the song/ huh? It’s not on shuffle? /he chuckles confused but just goes with it since it’s not like he’s against you controlling stuff. Actually, he’s into that too since he only makes people do stuff if no one steps up to the plate first of all. Still, after sitting down, he lifts a brow at the song selection/ ya a closet t-Swift fan kiddo?~ /nudges grinning/ but hey~ I’m not controllin ya~ /nods to the tv implying you to just go for it. Once the song starts, he hops up and tries to mimic the moves/ oh girly moves huh? /chuckles and starts mimicking the game/ challenge accepted~ /his hips not as flexible as a girl’s but still somewhat, he’s able to do the moves requiring flexibility at a medium caliber/ look it, I’m SNSD! /he flicks his short hair back up after bending down slightly like kpop girls always do. But because he doesn’t have that much hair, it looks funny, even giving you a derpy y look before laughing and continues to copy the motions until the song/ Kay last one! /he takes the remote/ ya ready? /smiles before pressing the shuffle button/ imma jus let it shuffle /the game starts playing Justin Bieber’s “I’ll show you”/ finish strong! We got dis! /he says panting as the song plays once he presses “ready.” Ends up popping and locking dancing since it’s a slower song than he expected before realizing something/ woah~ doesn this song feel like a conversation with the other one? Weird... /he chuckles amazed. But right after the second verse, the house alarm goes off and he blinks confused before turning around to see your dad or professor. His eyes widened slightly, stopping in his own steps as your father turns off the house alarm casually. He himself had seemed to be distracted at the man’s entrance, even holding his hand anxiously to find a way to make the other notice his presence/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. Like so extra ?
/grinend when you distracted and then pant as i sit down/
Okay next i'm going to choose the song
/browse the song and decide to play "look at what you make me do" by taylor swift/
Is this okay ? If its okay i'll press start

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /grins trying to get the points to beat you only to laugh stopping his movements to ask/ play it like what? /he had no idea you thought he was being extra when he already was trying his best and through all those movements that he did, that’s how he showed it; he was just naturally extra but he didn’t have to force it. He actually had more fun being himself. And so what if he got more tired? He likes to have fun and this game is meant more for fun with friends so it made sense to enjoy it to him. When he realized the song was going, though, his eyes widened before dancing again/ ahh! Ya cheater!~ /eventually, the song finished and he chuckles patting you amused when you sit down/ ya bet! Welp...if you’re ready for it kid /he smiles. He’s already used to dancing because of his club so yes, he’s panting but doesn’t look as tired as you do. He nods to the screen with his chin/ press next

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /as i follow the moves in the screen/
/Laugh when you play it loudly/
You will get tired if you play it like that
/Play and moves according to the screen stiffly till the end/
/Realize that i sweat a lot and actually its pretty tiring/
/Sit down beside you/
Another round ?

[post deleted by owner]

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /being patient and surprisingly docile, he waits only to widen his eyes/oh! That’s a good reason! /he chuckles rubbing his nape/ I mean, I don’t know how projects happen so you’re more knowledgeable on that...but if what you’re sayin’s true an projects really are that hard to come by, ‘think keeping it a hobby till ya know exactly how the project economy’s like /he chuckles nodding as he speaks like a business major with the term economy. Now that he finally heard a good reason to leave you alone, he climbed into his car, still ushering you to try at least but he won’t push it anymore because he knows we just met and you wouldn’t really listen to him too much anyways. Yet/
...
/smiles approvingly when you say you’ll try to join an event before he continues joking with you then blink-chuckling because you thought he meant high school/ huh? Oh! Yeah! Also high school but more your college freshman year /nods avidly, remembering his time as a freshman/ it’ll come back to bite ya in the . /but when you say you’re picking the dance battle option, his brows lift with an/ oh...? /he smirk-grins as if he’s saying “are you challenging me...?” Before he chuckles/ let’s bet on it. Loser gets to do whatever the winner wants them to do? /smiles waiting with hands crossed over his chest before pressing ready/
/technically, he’s already at a disadvantage since this is his first time playing this song since he doesn’t have this year’s version, but that won’t stop him from trying his best! As the song progresses, he’s dancing but also looking at the movements before shouting/ whoo! Whoo! /with the music to get you distracted which he also got slightly distracted by while laughing. He’s a very competitive guy so you picking the battle option highlighted that side of himself. By the middle of the song, he starts getting the hang of the dance’s pattern only for the bridge to kick in and yet again has to try mimicking it with the help of the stick figure movements at the bottom/ oh wooooh!~ wave!~ /he mimics the wave while scream-shouting like he does when he’s hyper/ oh! Bring it back!~ /then he does the splits effortlessly before going back to the chorus till finally the song finishes and he’s panting lightly, waiting for the score to tally up his accomplishments/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /sighs you are being persistent/
The thing is we all need stable job, being a dance teacher and dancer will have more stable payment than me being photographer because photographer job is only per project, what if i dont get any project in a month ? I'm not interested in normal job, i like it better to do something related to performing art
/Smile and nods/
Sure ! I'll try join an event
/Laugh lightly at your comments/
No worries i need good grade to enter good university
/Nodded my head/
Yes this will be battle
/Laugh at your choice/
Fine i'll be the green one
/Pressed ready/
Press ready too
/The game start/
/Following the moves even if some of it silly/

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. []yo dude. The first rp didn't receive any disclosure so could we add that as the second part? Hoseok's a persistent guy and I'd like to think even one action or inaction can change the outcome of the rest of the rp ]

/still waiting for your response, you say nothing which causes him to worry. He bites his lip lightly/ ... /chuckles forcefully when you answer nothing before turning to you/ I'm jus gettin annoyed cause ya still wanna think photography won't be a good option for your future-even if ya have so many awards. /chuckles forcefully/ we good...? /smiles hopefully to you, hoping you explain to him a more valid reason you don't want to do make photography your career/
/nods leaning forward slightly to hear about SOPA though he already knew what school that was- even when he lived close to the suburbs side of the country. He shook his head patting your back/ no worries kiddo~ ya still got time to explore an figure it all out yourself~ /nods avidly/ ya can check out dancin next week an I'm sure SOPA has other events durin the school year! /nods avidly/ don't get worried an jus take it at your own pace /nods as he takes your phone while handing his own and types his number under the name "Hoseok Hyung" before handing it back/ still, try not to flunk a grade like I did /chuckles teasingly with a nod. Eventually, after that, you've finally set up the Just Dance and he grins, hopping up/ Kay! Let's do a dance party option so we can shuffle the options /nods/ probs we shouldn do a battle right? /points to the group option/ let's do the other one-til professor comes /nods. The song shuffles to Bruno mars 24K Magic song/ ooh! I wanna be the purple guy! /grins pointing to the purple suited man/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /nodded my head/
Yeps, sopa is entertainment school, i get to learn photography, making film, dance and sing, i get to learn everything that i like, so i transfer there for my last 2 years of highschool, i still dont know which major i should choose for university
/Grinned and give you ky phone to type your number/
Sure
/Prepare the game/
Its really to play

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. []sorry for prolonging the ooc but like I said, since you didn't give Hoseok any peace of mind on Hansol's career, sorry but the previous reply still survives; hoseok's a persistent guy : P and I'd like to think even one action or inaction can change the outcome ]

/he waits for you to argue with him or tell your own comeback to his words before he flicks your head and you remain silent. He turns away, thinking he did wrong/...sorry... /forces a chuckle/ Jus don't like kids bein so stubborn... /nods before biting his lip/ but I did it wrong. 'Wasn't sposed to do that... /stops in his spot and turns to you, hoping you could forgive him and /then/ talk/
...
/is asking about your mom as casually as possible before shaking his head to affirm that you never said anything about being an orphan only to widen his eyes slightly at the mention of a sister/ oh! Ya also have a sister! That's cool! Yeah... /chuckles getting settled in as he looks at the tv screen in front of us/ yeah...i was absent when Professor was introducin 'imself to the class /grins nudging you since you might be a high schooler but high schoolers also have the 1st days of school easy in some classes/ ya know, 1st days o' school. You don't normally do nothin but go over the syllabus so I planned to jus skip annn cause o' that, 'never learned bout professor's family afterwards so yeah! /exhales leaning back on the sofa/ but don't regret it. /turns to you grinning/ college life's great~ /nods avidly/ I'm up for 'it! /his eyes widen when you bring up a dance school/ woah SOPA?! That's /the/ entertainment school right? /he grins before backing away against the sofa with a whistle/ nice. So? /he smiles waiting for you to tell him what you thought of it before grinning/ ya should! Actually /wiggles brows grinning acting cocky/ this Hoseok here's also got some moves up his sleeve if ya know what i mean~ /his cocky act dissipates replaced with chuckles of his real self/ never told Professor but our last performance's next week/ Nods smiling casually on the couch as he lets you fix up the Just Dance game/ ya should come~ ya know-see how it's like~ lemme text ya the deets /nods at you before taking out his phone from his back pocket/ here, ya need my number right? /waits for you to get out your phone so we can exchange our phones unless you don't want to/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /sit down comfortably/
/Look at you/
No he is not yet home
/Smile and nods/
Yes my mom and i didnt say that im orphan right ? She is my mom, my sister is not home yet too
/Look at you and shrug/
Just dance ? I have xbox, if you want to play, anyway i moved to SOPA, my friend drag me to their dance practice, i kinda like it, though i still do photography, but dance seems interesting too

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. []lol whew! If it wasn't, I'd have to change basically the whole reply so glad I caught that XD but wow...one typo could really change so much smh~ and since you didn't give Hoseok any peace of mind, sorry but the previous reply still survives; he's a persistent guy : P ]

/smiles slightly before blinking at what just happened. You went back two steps. He already told you why it won't matter if it's stable or not since you're already a renowned photographer judging by all those awards you have. If you said something along the lines of you don't love photography as much to have a job doing it, hedve relented. But you didn't and he had to flick your forehead with a slight frown/ yah, kid. Did ya listen to anythin I said jus now? Ya /can/ since you're good nough to actually make it stable /he rubs your forehead as his own way to apologize for the impact, stopping in his footsteps and not wanting to go just yet as he would do later once they get closer to his car/
...
/is expecting your dad, gripping at the papers the professor had given him only to widen his eyes at who he meets. Oh the kid from a while back. He grins waving once/ yo! Actually came to see Professor. He here yet? /smiles looking around behind you at the house without going inside as you asked him to before widening his eyes at the professor's wife. The women was beautiful for her age. Her eyes were as wide as yours but were softer and her lips plush pink. Despite her age, it didn't show as much on her face as she wore her messy bun. He understands why Professor fell for her. He would've too...if he wasn't gay, that is. He smiles a bit too largely while gripping his packet/ hi, nice to meet ya /bows not as deeply/ Hoseok /smiles correcting you before nodding and bowing to the woman/ thanks, sorry for intrudin.
/he follows you almost listfully before remembering you/ hm? Sure /sits down next to you on the sofa/ what game? /smiles before he couldn't help but let his feelings get involved. After he gave you ample time to answer, he asks/ so...your mom huh? /chuckles forcefully, trying to seem casual/ ...she your biological one?

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. () YESH OMFG THAT TYPO

/Smile lightly/
Well, i love photography but i dont think i can have photographer as my job, its so unstable
/Wave my hand to see ypu off before walk back to.my father's office/
/Few days later/
/Currently playing console game in living room like all teenagers do/
/Hear it ring and my mom ask me to open the door/
/Eiden my eyes to ser you nt my dad/
Hello ? Come in ?
/Let you walk it/
Mom, this is dad's student
/My mom rushed to you and tell you that he will be back soon and you can wait withme/
/Motion you to follow me to living room/
Play some game with me ?

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. [heyo~ it must've been a typo but if not, tell me and I'll redo my rp. But you meant Hansol to say "the feelings in it can be captured well," right? : ) ]

/chuckling friendly as he shows the picture, his casual tone had slowly transformed to a stunned emotion/ really? Haha... /chuckles rubbing his nape while looking to the phone as his ears tinted a light pinkish color/ thanks...but yeah! /he tries waving off the effects of that compliment/ definitely'll send it to your dad. Tell me if ya don't get it by then either though yeah? /smiles before blinking then forcing a chuckle a bit stunned/ wait... /stops in his steps before we could reach the car/ ya sure ya okay with that? That it's not compromisin your dreams am gonna make ya feel regret your life /nods/ you know? For not gettin to follow your dreams?
...
/eventually, he'll give in if you say the right things like you enjoy it but not as a work before he smiles, gets into the car, rolls down the window. At your words, he doesn't say much since there's nothing else to add on, just saluting you with his two fingers before backing up then driving off/

/when he returned back to his apartment, he sighed at the papers he already had, plopping down in his seat/ grad school huh... /leans forward into his laptop to research more. Once he does, he finds out a lot more about grad school. Not all the grad school's are hard to get in; just like colleges, there's a ranking for grad schools. That slight excitement made him research more before exhaling at his conclusion/ dammit professor... /chuckles forcefully/ ya have a kid... /he smiles slightly, remembering you before he resolved to forget about it with a nap. With it, he had forgotten to send you your picture.../
...
/after finally deciding he'll do grad school, he shows up at Professor's house and rings the doorbell, the only people home at the time are you and your mother. The professor was out busy with non-work related errands so he'll have to talk to you for a while until the older man could finally come back/
M: /your mother who is cooking lunch, hums to you/ honey, will you get the door? It must be your dad.
/but it wasn't your dad, yet. He waits patiently for somebody to open the door/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /as i just finish preaching about photographer, a bit shocked to get you took pixture of me without i realize it/
/Look at it and analyze it then smile/
The picture shows that this is seriously amateur, but the feelings in it cant be captured well
/Look at you/
You maybe have some talent in photography and yes please i would like a copy of that
/Sigh as what you said actually made sense/
I dont plan to make ot my career, i'll set it as my hobby, something i can runaway to, i will have stable job and photography can be a hobby but productive hobby
/Smile ad nods/
Sure ! And drive safely, it's nice to talk to you

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. eyyy! /he grins nudging you at your well-deserved comeback at him. But then as you go on and on about photography, he can't help but feel enraptured in your own feelings. Without saying anything, he smiles softly as he listens and nods, discretely taking a picture which you can tell only after the camera click/ There, your emotions captured on film /chuckles as he shows the picture of an almost passionate looking young hansol in mid sentence/ 'might not be as good as you'd do it but think the photographer deserves to be shot, too ya know?~ /he smiles before slipping the phone into his pocket/ I can email it to your dad an he can pass 't onto ya if ya like~
But yeah! /continues walking with his hands in his pant pockets/ hip hop with some kinda electronic undertone /nods smiling at you/ the kinda genre music I do /then he nods really understanding where you came from since that's him with dancing too. But there was one more difference. Forces chuckle, shrugging shoulders/ I don't know man...ya actually won pretty decent stuff /then smiles patting your shoulder when you give a more reasonable reason why you don't wanna make photography your career/ but ya still love photography right? So it doesn' matter at the end o'the day /shakes head chuckling/ even artists don't win /all/ the time~ /encouragingly massages your shoulder with one hand as we near his car/ Welp! Here's where I gotta go. Think bout it alright? /smiles as he unlocks his car door and gets in to start the car/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /laugh lightly/
Well i do rebel too, but it show in my pictures
/Smile and nods/
We get more creative, and i hold my camera more than my phone
/Chuckles when you looked amazed/
It is a form of art, some photographer just taking a picture without heart, then its not art, it just capturing a moment, the feelings of the object and the photographer cant be conveyed, but if you take it with heart, it will look different, even makes someone cry just by see it. Most photographer just taking a picture and they end up being the photographer that takes wedding picture or photos for formal things such as pass port or id card.
/Laugh lightly/
I know i am doing good
/Chuckles/
No the actual dance genre, i understand it
/Shrug my shoulder/
Sure i love it, but can i feed my family if being photographer is my only job ? I probably taking cinematography so i can make movie or simply become the cameraman in tv stations, that's more stable
/Sigh/
I make quiet a lot of money but i dont always win right ?

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /hums patting your back/ you're a smart kid. At your age, I wouldn't get any o' that with my stubborn rebellin /chuckles shrugging/ 'guess the younger generations aren't bad either-even 'f they're more into their phones /chuckles jokingly, nudging your side as he puts an arm around your shoulder to poke fun at you. That's before he had asked you about the medals/ wow.... /amazed, he shakes his head agreeing/ never. More than that, always thought it was like art /shrugs grinning/ for dead people. So /slaps your back/ you're doin pretty fine, kiddo~
But yeahp dancin hip hop, electric boogaloo-more poppin an lockin if we wanna speak in your generations' terms.../smiles slightly while nodding/ though it's only a hobby... but if ya like photography an win medals, why ya got cold feet, kiddo? /smiles/ your experience sounds like ya /could/ make a livin off o' it... /nods avidly as we slowly near the parking garage/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /laugh lightly when you never thought my dad wont be as strict with his kids/
Dad is strict as hell but he is such a loving father and loves us dearly
/Laugh at your response/
Well, not medals but trophies, i got a few at home, whybso sureprised ? Never meet a photographer before ?
/Look at you and raise my brow/
You dance ? What genre do you focusing on ?
/Laugh lightly/
The competitors are crazy, they are great too, i think this will just be my hobby, i dont think i can live with just photography, being phptographer is not a stable job though i really want to learn it more

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. that's good, 'ts good... /he smiles to look at you before smiling and shaking his head as he looks at his feet/ but yeah. It's nothin, jus never thought professor'd be strict with his kids, too.../he smiles, shrugging slightly as he thinks about it before his eyes widened along with a larger grin as he walks slightly forward to look at you as his hand still rests on your shoulder/ woah really? Ya win any medals? /lets you answer that before nodding to your comment/ sounds kinda like me with dancin /exhales with a sigh before patting you twice/ welp, kiddo. I say reach for the stars. Since you're that good, you'll get far /nods smiling/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /looking at you when you are surprised/
Why so surprised though ?
/Smile and shrug/
Well i dont know, so far he is positive to my hobby
/Chuckles and nods/
I am following my passion right now, i've been in competition for some years now
/Shook my head as we keep walking/
I really love it, its unique how every picture captures different emotion

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /don't worry, he'll be walking with you so you don't have to know where his car is. He'll tell you when he has to stop walking. But he did park pretty far. It'll earn us about 10-15 minutes of getting to know each other. Maybe that'll be fortunate or unfortunate for you- depending on how you are towards socializing. Walking pretty much next to you now, he asks you the question about photography being your major, only to widen his eyes slightly/ eh? /chuckles a bit confused. It didn't seem right for you to live under your dad's rule/ your dad has to give ya a okay? /he hums as he puts his hand above his head, stretching/ I don't know bout ya but if ya can, ya should let your heart rule more than your mind- er his mind, actually... /he mutters nodding/ then down the road, ya won't feel as resentful I'm guessin.. /nods then smiles at you as he puts his hands down, one on your shoulder casually- since he's normally a touchy kinda person/ how ya feel bout photography? Passionate? Or it's jus some kinda fun thing to do in your spare time?

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /about to walk out as you start sprouting something and hear my dad talking, turn my head/
Uh ? Not today ?
/Shrug my shoulder and nods as i heard my father's insteuction/
/Walk to your car which i dont know which one, probably just going to the university car park/
/Turn my head tk you as you call.me/
/Look at my camera thay you point out/
/Smile and shrug my shoulder/
So far this is my hobby, i dont know for the future, if dad approves it, i will learn it more

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /he bows to the professor, a bit taken off guard but follows you. And him being the talkative, social guy, he was about to say something to your figure before you interrupted and surprised him/ wait /chuckles waving his hands/ no, I dun think-
F: /fortunately, your father helped his student with a clear of his throat/ there's no need for Hoseok-sshi to apply for anything today. I trust that once Hoseok makes his decision, we can look into all that. Just him to his car, Hansol-ah. Hoseok, think about it. A lot is on line for you. /he says sternly, turning to the student before waving you both off/
sorry bout that /chuckles as we continue walking out, deciding to take a different approach. It wasn't like he lacked motivation though. He just thought he wasn't good enough, so you got half of it right. You must've been like any teen and was bored hearing about your father's work for long periods of time to know the full story/ so Hansol-sshi yeah? Ya majorin in photography? Or's that jus a hobby o' yours? /he smiles pointing to the camera, trying to make conversation to not make our time together too uncomfortable/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /bow my head as my dad introduce me to you/
Hello, i'm ji hansol
/Smile and bowed back when you bow to me/
/Sit down and analyzing you a bit behind my camera, took the picture when you look to my lens/
/Noticing that my dad mention you once, about the potential student that currently lack of motivation/
/Nodded to my dad and smile before i get up and motioned you to follow me with my head/
Let's get you applying for the scholarship

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. /at your interruption, he stiffens slightly though your father seemed calm and poised as you walked in but end up sitting in the same room as them two/
F: it's fine, we were just finishing up. Hoseok, this is my son hansol. Hansol-ah, hoseok.
/is caught off guard but bows to the professor he admire's son/ nice t' meet ya /he smiled politely as he took a good look at you. You seemed very young. Even the camera around your neck seemed like it was weighing down on you. A freshman probably. Ahh he remembered when he was a freshman. The best but also the worst time of his life. It was a combination of feeling wild mixed in with feeling carefree. But now it's caught up to him and now he's paying the cost of it. Sadly, despite your own reputation, he doesn't know you himself so now he's taking this time to get a grasp of you. Despite his lack of information, though, he gives you a bow of respect as your father smiled in response to our two's exchange/
F: hansol-ah, Hoseok out. I have to pack my stuff before we can eat out. Hoseok, don't forget my offer /he smiles towards the student who bows quickly back. It wasn't long before Hoseok contacts him about accepting it which would lead to him helping get ready the necessary documents for his hesitant student who he had a soft heart for-since he saw himself in the other. However just because he knew this wouldn't be the last time he hears from his student, he wasn't aware of the impact Hoseok would have to his family, especially his son. There's only so much a professor could know about his students/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁷ hoseok j. /my dad is a high school teacher and also a professor in a university/
/I just finish my school day, as i feel bored to go home by myself, i decide to give my dad a visit also ride back home with him while i took photos of my surrounding since i really like photography/
/Walk to a different school from me, actually people see me a lot in this other school so no one look at me weirdly/
/Check on my wrist watch that the school hour already end and know perfectly well that my dad must be in the room/
/Enter my dad office casually/
Dad, lets go home to---
/Stop myself in middle of talking when i see you sit opposite my dad/
You have a guess ? Sorry
/Walk in politely and sit on another empty seat politely/
/Silently taking picture of my dad and his office/

@ᴀᴘᴛ¹⁰⁵ hansol j. [again, tell me if you want me to change to purely 1st pov or shorten the starter or anything, really~ but as for me, I'm okay with whatever length you reply in (as long as it's not a oneliner) as well as whatever type of 1st pov you reply in. Thanks for being patient! : D ]

?: Hoseok Hyung, seriously /hoseok's roommate says, opening the door to Hoseok's room/ you've been cooped up in your room for how long now? What are you even doing? /the man says, walking up to check on Hoseok. What he sees is Hoseok scrolling through LinkedIn almost listlessly/ You're still job searching?
have. To get. A job. 'Fore I graduate... /he mumbles monotonously, still scrolling the site before groaning and face planting onto his desk/ all these jobs need some kinda experience or recommendation! An who would wanna write a recommendation for a student who's graduatin a whole year late! I don't even have that good grades!
?: /pursing his lips, he felt bad for the older man who just wanted to get a good job to support himself after graduating as he pets the other's head to calm the guy down since he learned that helps/ What about your professors? Anyone you could ask?
/red-eyed from both sleep and his tears, he looks up at his friend quiet/
...
/, why are ya even here, Hoseok. He thought, cursing to himself as he walked into the building where one of his Freshman professors worked. You've really become some kinda lost cause, so desperate. But in his state, what other choice did he have? That's right. None. That's why after inhaling sharply, he entered into another set of doors then a hallway before knocking on the door/
F: /the door opened to reveal your father/ Hoseok-sshi?
/he tried remaining steadfast though his heart beat even faster as he chuckles lightly/ hey, I was wonderin if I could get a rec letter...
...
F: /after Hoseok had explained what his plan was, all the professor could do was purse his lips into some kind of look of disapproval/...and this is all to get a job? What about graduate school?
/his eyes widened slightly before he chuckled, tightening his hands into his lap/ don't think I'm cut out for it. I'm barely passin my classes an all cause o' my freshman year, my GPA's not good nough /what he heard was silence. It made him stiffen. Did he do this wrong? What if he lost his only opportunity to get a recommendation just because he didn't answer correctly. The seconds felt like minutes until the professor spoke/
F: I'll write the recommendation letter....for grad school though. If you don't get in; however, I'll go ahead and write one for any three jobs of your choice. One on condition /that phrase must've made Hoseok pause from the wave of relief/ if you get into Graduate school, you have to go. No more job searching. Do we have ourselves a deal?
/both he and your father weren't aware; however, that before he could answer, you'd interrupt their conversation altogether/

@ᴀᴘᴛ²⁰⁸ jieun l. It was a nice day, to say the least. The moment he stepped outside to open up shop, Seokjin could feel it in the air. The breeze brushing against his skin seemed to gently push him to head outside. So, that's exactly what he decided to do. After earning an exasperated look from his neighbor when he asked to leave the store in his care, Seokjin grabbed his trusty camera and baseball cap, whisking himself to the park as swift as the breeze nipping at his heels.

Since his shop had always been rather isolated from the hustle-and-bustle on the city's streets, the unannounced parting from his sanctuary left him feeling quite empty. The change of pace he'd encounter once on the streets undoubtedly meant too much chatter, too much movement, and too much materialism. He would choose to stay around his flower shop any day, if this was what greeted him outside its premises. Despite his aversion to city life, Seokjin found himself engulfed within it as he scurried down the street to a place he knew would offer him a similar setting to his shop.

Once he crossed the border of the park, Seokjin heaved a sigh of relief, relaxing the tight grip he held on his camerabag. It wasn't as nice as what he receives from his store, but it was better than prancing around aimlessly on the streets. The screeching of car brakes and ringing of bike bells seemed like a distant memory the further he trekked into the park's vastness. He decided on a path that s its away between two small hills, leading to another. As he walked he heard children's laughter decorating the air as they played in a nearby playground. One of the little boys kicked his ball too hard, sending it flying in Seokjin's direction. He simply dodged it and walked on, paying no heed to the children screaming at him. On rare occasions, he would've kicked the ball back. But today wasn't one of those occasions; he would much rather prefer the company of the quiet landscape.

Seeing anything picture-worthy a few meters away, he would pull out his camera and quickly fix the settings before he snapped away. A flower bent just right. A tree's leaves garnering just the right breeze. A bird nesting in just the right lighting. He found beauty in almost everything, even the tiniest things that people never notice in the first place. He continued snapping down the entire length of the path, until finally he reached the tiny hill. It had been quite a while since Seokjin's been this far away from his shop, not much less the park. Hence, he didn't realize someone had already laid claim to this spot of land when he ascended the hill with little thought upon spotting an interesting scenery.

The trees and bushes almost formed a semi-circle, appearing like a small stage centered in nature. The setting for what seemed like Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Seokjin reckoned. However, the grassy expanse wasn't what caught his attention. It was the landscape sprawled out behind it that captivated him. The peaks of trees dotting the park, the outline of the city's skyscrapers in the back, and the summits of the mountains in the distance served as an enrapturing sight to his eyes. He hurriedly pulled out his camera, angling the shot perfectly and taking just the right photos. Staring at the preview screen, he grinned happily at the beauty he was able to acquire with his just his lens.

Seokjin wasn't yet at the top of the hill. He was hovering at its crown, thus he didn't seem to take any notice of the presence of a girl laying on her blanket spread on the grass. He was too busy trying to capture the most noteworthy landscape pictures to mind anything in the foreground. Therefore, his trance was broken when someone suddenly cleared their throat loudly enough to surprise him. A firm "excuse me" had him glancing over at the girl. Had she always been there? he questioned himself as he finally took notice of the girl before him for the first time.

@ᴀᴘᴛ³⁰⁴ seokjin k. Hearing the rustle of leaves above her head and the earthy smell of the ground - or better, air that wasn't as impured with traffic fumes and other odors that made walking around the city intolerable for the female, as she grew up in the countryside - she couldn't help but feel more at peace than she did back in the apartment building. She loved her new home dearly as it became a place where she could entirely express herself, even if it was just for her own eyes to see. But still, it was nothing but a tall building that united a dozen of strangers, who all had their own habits and quirks that created but a gibberish clamour that was practically unbearable if added up to the noises of traffic that seemed to be never-ending. The park itself wasn't a place she'd have called quiet either - walking on the path leading up a tiny hill she could easily tell there had to be some kind of playground near as shouts and shrieks of children were distinguishable from a distance not so far away. The few kilometers she had to defeat still weren't enough for the humdrum of the city to vanish - though diminished, the sound of millions of lifes cluttered in between the borders of the captial was audible even in the supposedly calmer districts.

Deciding to avoid any contact with humans under the age of ten, Jieun stepped away from the paved path and away from the concourse of people that she'd presumably spot at the end of the trail. Walking through the grass, the strands tickling the spots of her skin that her beige leather sandals weren't able to cover. She's waited for a day like this for a longer time now; it wasn't too hot nor too cold, the pleasant twenty-something degrees celcius and a bit of a breeze that gifted everyone present at the park with an enjoyable hum of the trees seemed to be perfect. Well, not as perfect as a rainy autumn morning could be, but she knew she could expect too much from a month like August. She has never been the type to like high temperatures and she would usually joke that apart from a month or two, she didn't really need good weather anyway. It was true that her muse to write would commonly reach its grandest level on days that felt just like black coffee tasted - bitter, but somehow refreshing - but she couldn't argue with the fact that sitting on the sun and being able to let it soak through her skin was pleasant aswell.

Having noticed a nice spot - covered by bushes from the northern-east and with a wall of trees in the northern-west - she made her way to the tiny lea, she's automatically baptised as "her spot". Letting her canvas bag slide down her shoulder and fall on the grass with a soft thump, she glanced around to see whether she truly was as alone as she felt. Bending down to undo the straps of her sandals, she slid them off of her feet before reaching for a small blanket she had in her bag and laid it on the ground once spread. Allowing a sigh to leave her lips - as she hoped, together with the odd weight that has recently nestled in her heart and made her shoulders drop a bit closer to earth - she sat down on her knees before pulling out a black notebook, a pencilcase that would fit not more than three pens and a book by Jack Kerouac. Laying down and opening the last item, she hummed silently, content with how serene her surroundings were and with the fact that she was able to spent a few hours on her own with nothing but the company of the novels - one already finished a good couple of years ago, the other still more of a work in progress.
