@α┊anton lee Letting out a small giggle Seongmin nudged the other with his arm. “You can call me Minnie hyung if you prefer even though I’m only like what a year older than you?“ sliding his arm around yours Seongmin bounced on the heels of his shoes next to you. “Arnt they beautiful..? The jelly fish, they’re one of my favorite creatures here. That and the little touch ranks with the sting rays and starfish- oh wanna hear a cool fact about star fish?” He asked excitedly feeling happy he had someone who he could share random facts with without feeling weird.

@Ω┊ahn seongmin anton was caught off guard by seongmin's boldness, a nervous laugh escaping his lips as his hand reached up to rub the back of his neck. "ah—i'll call you whatever you prefer then." he managed, his voice warm but slightly hesitant. at seongmin’s next question, anton’s smile grew faintly, a soft, shy curve to his lips as he shook his head. "i’m here with you now, sunbae—seongmin—minnie… hyung..?" he stumbled, his chuckle was sheepish as he timidly extended his arm, a quiet invitation for the shorter hybrid to take it.

@α┊anton lee “Im sure it makes me feel lke i have authority over you and if im being honest i prefer others have it over me.” seongmin dindt know why he felt bold but he gave the other a playful wink. “Yes lets be thankful neither of us are, that sounds completely awful..” seongmin nodded happy he could have someone to gush to about the useless facts he knows and picked up from his many times here at the aquarium. “Ah good, i wasnt really going to let you tell me no anyways- oh wait uh unless you um youre here with someone or your waiting for them- i dont.. I dont wanna interrupt or anythin like that anton. but if your not id be happy to share what i know”

@Ω┊ahn seongmin "ah, but—are you sure? that feels too casual, and you're my senior... not that it means you're old. you're only a year older than me," anton chuckles softly, the sound light and amused, though his gaze flickers shyly to the ground. as seongmin dives into another fun fact with bright enthusiasm, anton can’t help but smile, nodding along in quiet acknowledgment. "ah, i've heard that before, yes. it still baffles me to this day. so glad i'm not a starfish—" he adds under his breath, scrunching his nose at the thought. when seongmin turns to him with an offer, anton faces him fully, nodding politely as his smile softens. "that's so kind of you, sunbae. i'd really appreciate that. you can show me around since it's my first time here—and maybe share all your sea creature knowledge"

@α┊anton lee “Oof please call me Seongmin, or min, or minnie.. Sunbae makes me feel old.. Im only 21” seongmin laughed softly turning to look at the beautiful tall tank in front of them. Smiling soft and somewhat shy he looked up glancing at the other nodding, “I know enough.. Theyre one of my favorite sea creatures.. Wanna know a fun fact? Its not about jellyfish though, did you know starfish eat and poop from the same hole? They only have one hole so well what comes in must go out-” seongmin giggled a little, “ive told a few hyungs that and they all lost thier mind about it..do you want some more jelly fish facts? I come here alot.. So i can uh show you around too if you want..”

@Ω┊ahn seongmin the unexpected approach made anton flinch slightly, his wide eyes blinking as a friendly voice broke through his quiet moment. turning to the shorter male beside him, he froze for a split second before recognition dawned. his shoulders eased, and his gaze flickered back to the jellyfish for a moment before settling once again on the other.
"of course. i know who you are, sunbae. i'm anton from riize," he said softly, his voice steady as he offered a polite smile and a small bow. straightening up, anton’s head tilted unconsciously to the side, his curious pup nature slipping through as he took a brief moment to admire the other's outfit.
"d-do you know a lot about jellyfish?" he asked, his tone gentle, yet tinged with genuine curiosity.

@α┊anton lee This was where he usually goes when wanting some quiet time or to sketch on days he’s feeling more creative. But today he’s feeling more causal just wanting to see his fish friends. Coming up to your side after spotting you from across the way recognizing you a little bit but have no name. “Did you know some jelly fish have the ability to revert back to just polyps? If they’re scared starving or depending on temperatures they can revert back” Seongmin smiled glancing up at the man, “Seongmin, or Minnie, i saw you in the halls of the community before but I don’t think we’ve properly met.”

@Ω┊ahn seongmin for his solo outings, anton usually preferred outdoor walks, but with the recent chill in the air, an indoor spot seemed like a better choice. settling on the aquarium, he wandered quietly, unhurried and peaceful, admiring the creatures in the tanks around him. shoving his hands deep into his coat pockets, the dog hybrid paused in front of the jellyfish exhibit. he had always found them fascinating—the way they drifted so gracefully, their gentle movements bringing him a sense of calm and serenity.
