irenic — xiaojun

background.

born and raised in a family of four, with his parents and an elder brother. They were all humans, nothing special about them, but rare due to the dwindling population of their species. The Xiao family made it work somehow though, unbothered by the reality surrounding them or how their descendants may end up being halfers or full supernatural instead.

dejun’s family was lovely. His father worked as a detective while his mother owned a bakery down the streets. His elder brother had been producing albums of his own which he would sell on the streets, with Dejun helping out. He was a boy with dreams, aspiring to follow his brother’s footsteps, one way or another. Maybe selling self-publishing albums wasn’t exactly what he was looking for in life, but music was his first love, and he had a plan to pursue a career similar to that.

a year ago, not long after turning the age of twenty, Dejun was attacked. Funnily enough, it hadn’t been a vampire’s bloodlust, nor a werebeast during full moon, nor had it been a magician’s or fairy’s magic gone horribly wrong. It was a stab wound to the stomach — something so simple, yet nevertheless just as fatal. He had been walking home by himself in the dead of night. He didn’t even know how it happened, just that the next thing he knew he was lying on the cold hard ground and staring up into the starless sky, vision slowly blacking out.

everything that happened after that was a blur. Dejun faintly remembered being rushed to the hospital; he recalled hearing someone crying. He couldn’t think, everything was going too fast, the world was spinning and tilting upside down. He felt too light-headed to stay awake, too nauseous to focus on his surroundings. He felt cold, so damn cold...

he faintly recalled waking up in the hospital, somehow alive and breathing. His family was thrilled by the fact of course, that their loved one won’t be leaving them anytime soon. His recovery was quick, and he was discharged relatively sooner. The time span between him reaching the hospital and his life following his discharge was hazy. For whatever reason, Dejun couldn’t seem to recall the events in that missing time period — his family’s exact reaction, the doctor actually saying that it’s fine for him to leave the hospital, or even waking up being alive.

still, Dejun thought, since he’s walking and breathing right now, it shouldn’t matter that he couldn’t remember whatever happened after waking up in the hospital. His family didn’t mind, so he didn’t see a reason why he should either. He was just thankful to have another chance at life.

ever since that near-death experience, his family had grown protective of Dejun, disallowing him from roaming alone at night, where creatures dwell and thrive. He didn’t care though, because what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? He could understand why they were adamant on keeping him safe under the roof though, since they were scared of losing him again. Dejun would always assure his family that he wouldn’t be going anywhere anytime soon, which honestly didn’t soothe their worries the least bit. It was starting to suffocate him how much his family was breathing down his neck and watching his every move.

little did he know that his family wasn’t just protecting him so he wouldn’t die again — if he could even die.

personality.

dejun is usually seen as a soft-spoken person, mostly quiet. he tends to keep to himself, a reserved male. calm as a mountain, cool and collected, not one to easily act upon emotions. even when he gets annoyed, he doesn't actively try to seek revenge or sorts. not really a pushover, but more like someone who could care less. 

even though his chill exterior, he's pretty friendly and approachable. he tries to converse with strangers sometimes, only if they're in his personal space for the unforseeable future, otherwise he wouldn't purposely approach them just to talk. he's open-minded and neutral-grounded, not quick to judge and preferring not to know someone through word of mouth. 

he may be composed, but don't let his soft features or tranquil aura fool you. he's very blunt, straight-forward with no sugar-coat, snarky and witty on a whim. he can also be pretty playful, enjoying to tease if the opportunity arises. overall though, dejun is a sweet person, kind and humble, generous and helpful, and just being your typical nice guy.

( bae joohyun . nightclub ) replied - it's the dead of night, sneak out of the house while everyone is asleep. a swing by the bar leads to a conversation being struck up. just what kind of story can one gain from the person sitting next to them at a bar, hm? 

( jin hyeonju . Casino ) need to reply - you hear the money go ka-ching, ka-ching! with many chips up his belt, he could spare another round of gambit. though what's this? it seems someone is struggling hard to win? guess it is time to offer a helping hand! 

( liu yangyang . Mansion ) replied - humanity is a beautiful yet deadly race. their time on earth is fleeting, yet they can invent creations embodying a new life! though what is this? it seems this particularly success had caught the attention of a curious pup. 

( ten leechaiyakul . apothecary ) started - bro got himself sick after trying to be a genius and reach home while it's pouring heaily last night. now he needs to run an errand for his ill brother. but oh why won't you look at that, the owner of the shop is an absolute cutie, and his heart is going haywire-

( yutaro goto . university ) Replied - utter chaos, period. Just what on Earth happened here? Did a tornado ran through this room?? Better yet, his roommate is out for his head because of the mess. Brilliant! The culprit must be the lil e sleeping oh-so-soundly in his desk drawer! 

( hirai momo . cafe ) replied - the fragrant scent of coffee greeting you upon entering a cafe is always a welcoming gesture. this aromatic smell which the poor boy seemed to have no recollection to, thinking this was his first visit. along with the cafe, someone important was forgotten too.... 

( kim taehyung . casino ) started - a frequent player at the casino, ears long since adapted to the sound of coins being cashed in for the night. wait, who's that? isn't he the owner of the casino? why was he talking as if he knew him... does dejun know him? 

( yeh shuhua . mall ) need to reply - friends since middle school, they knew each other inside and out. They practically watched one another grow up, going through thick and thin together and picking the other up when they fall. There’s absolutely no secrets between them — at least, that was what he believed.

( Kim sunwoo . University ) started - he was finally discharged from the hospital and could return to his university. Everything was normal as always, except for one foreign face. He was oddly friendly with him, though he can’t seem to recognise him.
