Sujin was...slightly offended.

"Are you saying I would disappoint people by being myself?" He narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong with the way I am?"

To be honest, though, he did know. And that was why he was only slightly offended.

"I don't care if people don't like me." He became an actor not for fame or wealth, just because he liked the idea of trying in the shoes of different people and dodge taking over family business. "...But okay, I can push myself at a meet and greet. Smile or something." He flashed one that was utterly unattractive (despite the face it was presented on) to Rowon. "Or direct them to you. You'll distract people for me, right?"

attempt #392 to get at park sujin—TOTAL FAILURE!

okay, perhaps not a total failure since it did get a bit of warmth, but rowon knows—deep down inside in the pits of his hollow, hollow heart—that sujin is capable of being a heartthrob if he just opens up a little. and since rowon is his favourite person, despite sujin being a tsundere about it ( *vocabulary possible thanks to minkyu introducing him to anime ), he figures he’s in the perfect position to tease it out of him.

... but yeah, it’s been 392 attempts.

“i’m not asking you charm me,” rowon replies dryly, “and you’ve got it wrong. you are going to be the anchor for casual fans. when the trailer comes out, people are going to look for the character with the most appeal.” he sits forward, his eyes trailing up to study sujin’s face. “they’ll watch it for you, they’ll love you on screen—but what are you going to do at a meet and greet? be yourself and let their expectations fall short? that’s how you lose a following, sujin.”

[lgcsujin]

"Mmhm." Sujin was sipping calmly on some iced tea. He made it himself earlier this morning while getting scolded by his mom about spending another Valentine's Day alone, cooped up in his room and acting like a total loser instead of being out there and putting his relatively good-looking face to use. If only he was as great at flirting as his character.

"You are not my favorite person." People kept on telling him Rowon didn't talk very much, but being with Sujin clearly challenged that trait of his. "But let me see which part you are looking at..." He handed Rowon his half-empty iced tea in exchange for the script.

Oh, right, that bit.

Sujin's eyes scanned up and down the page before they returned to his friend. He relaxed, letting his gaze turn soft with amusement. In that moment, Sujin's general aura shifted. If they could use colors to describe the change, he would be going from his usual robotic grey to a warm, inviting amber.

But when he opened his mouth, it was - "No."

Nice try, Rowon, he was not going to entertain your homosexualizing tendencies. "I think your role will gain you many female fans, officer."

* hearsay w. @lgcsujin ,

“a flirt and a nepotism hire,” rowon drawls as he leafs through the script that he had stolen from sujin. “they switched up on us—i suppose it’s for the best. you do have more of a manager look to you, and i’m good at being annoying.” evidence: the script in his hands.

he leans back in his seat and skims over the dialogue, his eyebrow raising at a particularly flirtatious remark that sujin’s character, han chanho, makes. “they’re having you say this?” his eyes flick up to his friend then back down to the script. in all the years he’s known sujin, he has never seen or heard anything remotely playful come from the stoic man’s mouth.

“since i am your favourite person, you should let me have the honour of being the first to witness this.” rowon hands over the script. “have at it.”

LAST SPRING

Trees were coming quietly back to life and the first of the flowers were starting to bloom for the year. Sujin stared out the window at their well-kept garden and recalled the dazzling smile of his first love.

It was a bit of a kdrama romance. Sometimes Sujin looked back and wanted to laugh about how stereotypically it started. A wealthy man's son falling in love with a girl who helped out first in the kitchen, then in the garden. It was real, though, and teaching her what he learned in school became something he greatly looked forward to. For him, there was never any pity, just admiration for her determination.

When she disappeared one day, leaving the bracelet he custom made for her with his own hands, he let it bind him. For years after, he wore it around his wrist, the glimmer of silver reminding him constantly of what he had lost and not managed to let go of. It cost him a few good relationships and at times he was regretful. Ultimately, though, nothing was enough to prompt him to take it off.

Until today.

What really did the trick was time. It was, after all, capable of healing all wounds.

He unclasped the bracelet and slipped it into the water fountain they used to secretly meet at, next to the roses.

This goodbye didn't hurt because he was ready. Wherever she went, he hoped she was well.

[lgcsujin]

"No need to blur anything out, I am fine with people knowing about us." Sujin's eyes were on the dog, who seemed perfectly content as she ate. "I am happy you invited me." He added, reaching out to set a gentle hand over Meong Meong's head, giving her a light - hopefully acceptable - ruffle.

"Where are we going for lunch?" His other hand found its way to Jino's head, repeating the same ruffling motion as he just did for Meong Meong. This was probably less acceptable, but he couldn't resist. Jino could become tall as a tree and he'd still see him as a baby, running around in a cape.

"And I thought about getting a personal channel too, but wouldn't know what content to put on there." Sujin admitted as they walked. "I live a fairly boring life and I doubt anyone would be interested in seeing what I am up to."

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT ⋆ @lgcsujin / it isn’t everyday that jino gets to see family.

burying the hatchet had felt good. years of feeling inferior to an older cousin had done him no good; and rather than let it fester in its place, hovering over him like a dark cloud, jino felt it was time to let it go and recover whatever remained of his relationship with sujin.

they had once been as close as thieves, after all. 

inviting his cousin out for a lunch with his dog was the start of it all — aided that he would be filming it all, jino was happy to document their day, alongside meong meong, who was busy lapping up the remains of her treat from jino’s fingertips. “yea — so it’s kind of like those playlist vlogs, where there’s minimal speaking and just clips of me going about my day. you’ll be in it too, if you’re okay with it. if not, i can ask to have you blurred out if you’d rather have our relationship not be public.” saying relationship was funny — considering they were cousins who bore a strong resemblance to one another at a quick glance.

“and if you have any songs you’d like to recommend, i can try to add them to the video too.”

SUJIN'S CHOCOLATE

Let's be honest, you didn't expect anything creative out of this guy anyway.

Sujin's chocolate was so simple that it only took three ingredients to make - dark chocolate, white chocolate chips and strawberry frosting. The strawberry cream chocolates were shaped into lopsided hearts. Sujin preferred them as they were, dark chocolate over strawberry cream, but out of consideration for those who might want something sweeter, half of the box were drizzled with melted white chocolate. He felt like these chocolates represented him well - what you see is what you get. He was just an uncomplicated man with a 'bitter', hard outer layer but a soft center.

Note to the fans:

Hey. Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m truly grateful for your support. This is a day about love, and an excellent time to appreciate those you care about the most, including and especially yourself.

Have these chocolates with a cup of tea or coffee while watching your favorite show (with or without me in it) and when you can, remind yourself of everything you love about you.

Your happiness is important to me. Hope these chocolates aren't too sweet for your liking. I made them based on my taste, just in case you are curious.

Let's continue to grow together.

With gratitude,

Sujin.

[lgcsujin]

The new customer lacked manners, but Sujin would commend him on his impeccable taste.

"Excellent choice." Sujin wasn't usually the type to engage in small talk, but cake was indeed his favorite topic. "They are known for their white chocolate raspberry truffle here. Despite it sounding rich, the cake is actually quite light. The raspberries they use have a perfect amount of tartness to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate." Sujin smiled fondly at the cake that was sitting proudly in its glass case.

"That one, unfortunately, is already spoken for." Unlike a certain someone else, Sujin placed his order far in advance. It was all for himself, of course. Yes, he had no problem finishing a whole cake solo. "Thank you." The baker, who was watching this whole exchange with a slightly awkward smile, packaged the cake and handed the box to Sujin. In the same breath he had to inform poor Seunghyun that he was out of luck because these cakes needed to be ordered early.

"You can try the pistachio." For a fellow cake lover, Sujin was willing to spare some kindness. He gestured towards another cake option, sitting on a lower shelf. "It is also tasty. Inferior, but definitely acceptable."

@lgcsujin

It is that time of year again. Unfortunately. That time in which his mother sprouts wings and horns, and the family discovers that she does indeed breathe fire ( in the form of petty quips and deep-cutting insults, but they leave third degree burns all the same ).

In a matter of three days, they would all be gathering in preparation for the extravaganza of the year ( insert exasperated sighing here - ) and Seunghyun would be forced to don his battle armor and face said dragon head on. And he would do it willingly with a smile.

It was his mother's birthday after all.

It was tradition that his father take charge of the 'surprise' party each year - fearful that his wayward children ruin the entire affair and leave him to deal with the fallout until the year following. But this year, in honor of their minimal visits and rather poor behavior collectively, the Han siblings would be volunteering their time ( after being voluntold, but still helpful nonetheless ). Seungah with the invitations and RSVPs, and Seunghyun with the most important task of all: Cake bearer.

Isn't that what caterers are for? He'd whine, trying his best to weasel his way out of it. He had so many better things to do than spend an afternoon scouring boutique cake shops for a cake the woman wouldn't even eat. But it was required that she have something small to decorate with ten candles less than realistic, and would do wonders for placing him back in her good graces. And with his allowance steadily dwindling by the week, he surely could use a little good grace...

So, Seunghyun enters his third bakery of the day with a scowl, not bothering to remove his shades as he steps in front of the customer already waiting to give their request. Ah, there it is. "White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle." He barks at the cashier, pointing to the the cake already on display in its own glass case behind the counter. "That one."

SAMSUNG VLOG - BTS

The vlog he filmed seemed casual enough, but behind the scenes, there was actually a decent amount of work. First of all, they had to clean up the space. Some of the clutter and extra pieces of furniture had to go. Then they removed the second layer of curtain to provide better lighting. In order to ensure Daisy's good mood, Sujin cut up a plate of her favorite treats and gave her opportunity to get used to all the strangers.

On the day the filming was supposed to happen, the weather decided to act up by raining for half a day. The entire team had to wait (Sujin provided tea, coffee, snacks and semi-awkward small talk) until optimal lighting returned before proceeding with the vlog.

The actual vlog, once they started shooting, went fairly well. Sujin did almost drop the phone while holding the rabbit and contemplated keeping that in to demonstrate Z fold's durability, but in the end decided against it. He didn't want to appear disrespectful of the product in any way and wasn't sure if he wanted the word 'clumsy' associated with his image.

He did actually send his sister a picture from the mini 'bunny & I' photoshoot. Of course on the vlog, he didn't show her contact info, but that bit was real. Soyeon was at her piano lesson at the time, but still found an opportunity to text back that she did not think he did Daisy justice (should have brushed her fur more!) and insisted on being involved the next time they took pictures together.

"Thanks for the hard work." Sujin patted on his stoic bunny after everyone left and they were hanging out in peace once more. He needed to go back to his apartment, but wanted to make sure she was fine before he did. "I will give you more apple slices end of this week."

[lgcsujin]

SAMSUNG VLOG

Unique opportunity. Sujin didn't consider himself great at promotion products, but he was willing to give it his best shot.

He decided to keep the vlog casual and employed his rabbit companion Daisy for the job. The vlog was shot in Daisy's well decorated princess-style bunny room. Sujin looked sort of out of place in his all black in that pastel pink room but...eh. What was he to do? This was what he thought she'd want.

Sujin took Daisy out from her multi-layered hutch and offered her a piece of lettuce to chew on. "Say hello to everyone," he instructed, but of course the rabbit stayed silent. She stared at the camera with her sweet, inquisitive little eyes instead. "Have I introduced Daisy before?"

The product he chose to promote was the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. He picked the side of the room with better lighting and set the phone down to demonstrate its flex camera feature with a mini 'bunny & I' photo shoot. As Sujin changed his poses, the camera automatically kept him and his rabbit in frame.

"Let's send a picture to my sister," he said, giving Daisy a thin slice of apple as treat for her good behavior. He edited the picture that was just taken to remove a chew toy that was out of place while pulling up the messaging app, showing the phone's flex window function and photo assistant capabilities.

"This toy is her favorite, but I think it's getting really worn out," Sujin commented as they played. "Do you think she will notice if I replace it? I could buy an identical one." He used the Z Fold's circle search function to look for pet stores that carried the toy of interest. "I'll pick it up next time I go out." He opened the note app and hand wrote the toy onto his grocery list. Since he was holding lettuce with his right hand, his left hand writing was messy. This made an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the phone's note assistant function. It turned his questionable handwriting into perfectly formatted notes.

"All right, see you all next time. Say goodbye, Daisy." Once again, the bunny was quiet and still, but hey, Sujin waved.

[lgcsujin]

A gentle flick and the silver coin was sent twirling in the air. It landed in the center of Chanho's palm almost gracefully, only to be swiftly covered by his other hand. He had to play up the surprise, you see, even though the result was pre-determined by his nimble fingers.

"You are right," he said, smile deepening as he revealed 'heads'. See, his audience must always feel like winners. Always feel special and lucky when they were with him.

"For you." Chanho turned his wrist and all of a sudden a pink carnation flower was in his hand. Where did it come from? His sleeve? It certainly sat prettily between his digits and showed no signs of having been squished in a tight space. "Actually, perhaps one is not enough." Then another flower appeared, white lily to join the pink carnation. Sujin actually learned a few magic tricks for a previous role and this was the most complicated one he could manage. A true master could probably produce a whole bouquet, but his skills only allowed him three.

"My name is Han Chanho," he introduced himself as he handed her the flowers. "What is yours?" Subtly he shifted, putting himself in a position that was better for viewing the necklace that was his intended prize. He was in no rush, of course - patience was his only virtue.

despite her lack of consistent presence, gyuri can say with confidence that she's happy for the woman moon jinyi allows her to embody— not all too far from the young womans natural self, confident as she is mysterious, a beauty shrouded in secrecy, a persona gyuri would love to try incorporating into her own everyday life with the passage of time.

a woman on display, self-imposed, out in the open for all to see. an easy target, many might think, jewels flashy, general attire pricey even when only taken in visually. jinyi is inviting, enticing in a way that begs for attention, intent be damned so long as a simple conversation could be held. that, in turn, leads nights like this towards rather . . . interesting turns, the mans approach diverting her attention from the busy bartender. she isn't thirsty, isn't particularly in the mood for anything, so the strangers intrusion is one jinyi doesn't mind.

no— rather than facing him with confusion or guarded hesitance, jinyi is still, relaxed where she'd been sat for the last fifteen or so minutes before she turns, gaze locking with his. a brow quirks gently as she takes him in, senses more alert now that she's got real company.

far from being the oddest of introductions, this is by far the most random jinyi has encountered in a while. there's something to his tone, the way he looks at her, fingers poised between skilled fingers. he does this often. accepting, jinyi angles herself to face him a bit more where he's now sat beside her. "let's go with . . . heads."

[lgcsujin]

MAGIC TRICK @lgcgyuri

Han Chanho was nothing like Park Sujin. This man had a smile for the entire room and eyes that glowed with warmth. Sujin took care to rein back his natural intimidating aura and carefully developed a presence that was inviting, especially to those who were weary. To those who were in need.

A few words of comfort or encouragement often granted him access to a near by chair. Chanho told people what they needed to hear before offering to cheer them up with a magic trick. Sometimes it involved a deck of cards, or perhaps a coin or a hat. For those who were particularly susceptible to the idea of romance, he'd use a rose as his prop. With their attention diverted, people would not notice him unclasping their necklaces or slipping off their bracelets. Even rings could be managed if he played his game right.

Would they not become suspicious after? So far no one's come after him. It was much easier to blame themselves and carelessness versus a charming man with limited edition watch and expensive outfit.

The bartender told Chanho the woman's name was Jinyi. She was beautiful and the jewel at her neck was dazzling. Chanho slowly made his way over and stood next to the empty seat beside her. "Heads or tails?" An old silver coin appeared between his fingers.

[lgcsujin]

Park Sujin kept on messing everything up.

Sometimes he questioned his shit luck with romance and wondered if he'd behaved poorly in the past life. Maybe he mistreated his wife from three lifetimes ago and her resentment placed a curse upon him, following him through multiple reincarnations without fail - alright, clearly he watched way too much kdrama for research purposes and now he was thinking as if he was featured in one.

Speaking of that...The way he ran across the distance between them and slid across the snow with both arms outstretched to catch Taeha was pretty kdrama-esque. His coat even flared out in a pretty cool way, catching flakes of snow as the two of them sank onto the pristine white surface together after a quick and unnecessary spin. Thanks to his reflexes, Sujin did manage to put himself under Taeha to cushion her fall. If he didn't protect her from landing on a hard surface - his chest muscles weren't that much softer than the ground - he'd at least prevented her back from getting wet.

"...Sorry."

He should probably let her go now, but something about this scene made him want to take his time...

And then they were interrupted by his sister's loud throat clearing. The little gremlin.

"Shall we go in?" Sujin asked without moving. "We are having a family cookie baking contest before dinner. I've never won."

In such a short time it seems that Taeha has finally mastered the art of texting while wearing mittens. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is an act of desperation, after all. For the receiver of her sudden string of text messages surely has frozen solid somewhere along his trip to their mutual friend's home.

Taeha had been under the impression that the evening would be a night of activities in which she was stuck entertaining Sujin's little sister ( not that she minded! ) while he and Rowon did... whatever it is they did when the two were together. And while she was now quite convinced that the two were not a pair ( at least not a pair of lovers ), she was quite comfortable in her role as third wheel on their tandem bicycle. Until she wasn't. Or rather, until she'd been promoted to second wheel on said bike.

"I don't even know if I remember how to ride one..." she grumbles to herself with a pout. Still no response, meaning her fate was sealed. It had been so long since she'd visited like this... She wouldn't want anyone to misunderstand. She was simply their fulfilling her friendly duty! It wasn't like she could say no to the offer after the absolute mess of things she'd subjected Sujin to over the past few weeks. Besides, she loved holiday festivities and it was only for one n -

ACK! is all she manages to muster, toppling over backwards into a pile of crunchy snow. Her nose throbs slightly as she swipes away the remnants of a well-formed snowball with a groan. Once back on her feet, her gaze narrows in their direction. "Oh, you're so going to pay for that!" And by pay, she means - Well, nothing at all. Two steps in their direction and her feet shuffle this way and that before sending her back to the ground.

If the start of the dinner was any indication of how it would end, Taeha is already well exasperated.

[lgcsujin]

CHRISTMAS FAMILY DINNER @lgctaeha

People should really learn to whisper quieter.

All day long, Sujin's been getting the stares and it was officially about to drive him insane.

The Parks typically had two Christmas events. There was the small, intimate family dinner and the extravagant invite-all-your-business-partners-and-more banquet the next day. Due to the amount of preparation required, the household typically bustled with extra on duty staff members. More people, unfortunately, also meant more set of lips. Gossip spread like a wild fire and before lunch time, almost everyone knew that Sujin was, in fact, bringing a girl home for Christmas.

"So, she's still not your girlfriend?" His little sister was utterly ashamed of him and his inability to acquire a date.

"No, she thinks I am gay." Sujin scooped up a handful of snow and dejectedly launched it at Soyeon. "I am pretty sure she thinks I asked her to come to this Christmas dinner as some sort of cover up for my unsupported, deep-in-the-closet homosexual relationship with my best friend." They were having a snowball fight near the gate so they could hide from the curious eyes of the staff and wait for Taeha's arrival. Sujin wanted to welcome her in himself.

"Try making a move?" Soyeon's snowball hit Sujin squarely in the face. No mercy, that one.

"I have been making moves." Really obvious ones too! Like, he actually said the words 'I like you' and 'let's go out'. How much clearer could it be? Sujin balled up more snow and sent the lot flying. Little sister dodged, but the snowball managed to hit...someone.

Oh shit - it's the guest they've been waiting for.

"Uh..." Sujin quickly tucked his hand behind his back as if to suggest that snowball did not come from him. "Hey Taeha. Welcome. You look great." Even with a fistful of snow in your hair, yep....

[lgcsujin]

PROJECT AKA - REFLECTION SOLO

Sujin was not the type to be afraid. For better or for worse.

"I am comfortable with action scenes." It was true he sustained a few minor injuries during the physical training, but that was to be expected considering he was still new with the learning material. Besides, he was young, a few scrapes and bruises could hardly keep him still for long. "In general, I'd like to do as much of the stunts myself as possible, just because I feel like it helps me connect with the character and result in better line delivery." It was nice, to feel his heart race for real in those more intense scenes.

"During the classes, I learned a few things about myself, stunt wise." Sujin took out his phone to show the director a clip of one of the days. He always filmed himself to see how he could improve. "I realized I am quite nimble. Good at catching things." He fast forwarded the clip until it showed him smoothly catching a knife prop tossed by a fellow actor. "Not much of a talent, but I can imagine this coming in handy during some of the scenes. Oh, and I am also really comfortable with heights." He switched to a clip where he was hanging off of a tall ledge. "I remember staying in that position for some time and being at ease. Looking down did not bother me either."

[lgcsujin]

Sujin thought he wasn't good at interacting with young people. Not because he didn't like them, but because many seemed to find him scary or off-putting. This had been an issue ever since his early church days, and volunteering to take care of some of the kids ended up in a noisy, waterwork-filled disaster.

Kentaro was, what, seven years younger than him? When they first met, Sujin would not think hanging out with possible but look at them now, calm coffee shop meet ups over novels.

"Are all the stories related to the same rabbit?" Sujin picked up the book and gave it a cursory flip through. "Is it the type of book I need to start at the beginning?"

Their coffees arrived. It was late and cold, but Sujin ordered his with extra ice. "I appreciate you, by the way." He'd been working on voicing his thoughts about people. "The fact you text me. I am terrible at that. Initiating hang outs, I mean."

𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒃𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒔 —

written for 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐮𝐣𝐢𝐧 ( @lgcsujin ) ♡

Kentaro enjoys the quiet. And Sujin is a cold, distant, kind of guy he thinks. It's exactly what draws Kentaro to him. He’s always preferred the company of people who say little, a habit formed during his school days when his closest friend was someone he barely spoke to.

So, every once in a while, Kentaro will send Sujin a casual text, suggesting they grab coffee. Their meetings follow a familiar routine—little pleasantries, no probing questions, just a brief exchange. It’s a simple ritual, one that Kentaro finds oddly comforting.

Today is no different. They sit across from each other in the dimly lit café, Kentaro reaches into his messenger bag and pulls out a worn paperback. Without preamble, he slides it across the table toward Sujin.

"'Cursed Bunny' by Bora Chung," he says, his voice casual. "It’s a collection of horror stories, you know."

[lgcsujin]

"Pale yellow or mint green..." Sujin mumbled, digging into the back of his closet. He already knew the chance of those colors existing was low because he always went for darker outfits. In general, cheerful spring tones had no place in his wardrobe. Still, it was worth a try. "I don't think I have any of those." He eventually concluded after ten minutes of search. "I haven't worn those colors in my life at all, actually."

Well, never too late to try something new.

"If hyung's not busy, we could go shopping." They were only on the brainstorming stage and there was some time. A mall wasn't that far away and perhaps there would be opportunities for inspiration there. Actually, this might be another newish experience for Sujin, since he hardly ever shopped for clothes for himself.

"Lunch on me?" He could try to get to know Jinseo too, during this outing. There was a cake place in the mall he was thinking about...perhaps dessert would be a good idea too. Hmm.

Jinseo shrugs. "I don't have a specific preference. I didn't want to be too imposing and overbearing, so I wanted to make sure all three of us are on the same page and pace with this," he admits. There's also the fact he has more experience than them both, but he's too self-conscious to say that aloud lest he gets mistaken as a know-it-all. "Besides, I can do whichever role you don't want."

Villain. Jinseo nods in thought. Fair enough. He then prepares to start observing Song Joongki's mannerisms and what aspects of the original he can imitate, as well as how he can make Chulsoo his own character as well.

"You'd look good as Jitae," Jinseo agrees as he walks over to observe what Sujin has for him. Green... "Okay, I like that. But let's see what other colorful suits you have, I may not be Patricia, but my modeling career should suffice? Besides, the magazine will probably have other options for us as well if we'd need them."

Tilting his head to the side to examine Sujin's tie, Jinseo continues. "If you have a suit jacket in pale yellow or mint green, that should create some nice contrast," he says. "But if you want to channel Jitae in a more obnoxiously colored suit and tie, that would also be fun."

[lgcsujin]

Sujin supposed the other was right. Why should he expect for there to be a realistic amount of fruits on trees in this game world where raccoons could communicate.

"Very well, I shall also place my shelter near the beach." Following in Haemin's footstep appeared to be a safe choice. Sujin selected a spot, aiming to put his tent as close to the water as he possibly could. He imagined that would be nice, to wake up in the morning and have the option to go for a swim immediately. "Did you grow up close to the sea?" He asked absently, recalling the importance of making small talk with companions.

"How do I acquire animals?" Sujin hadn't gotten that far yet, unfortunately. He'd be simply slapping all the trees for the fruits. "Perhaps later on in this game we can accumulate enough wealth to displace the capitalist raccoons from their position of power. I do not like owing anybody anything." For a man playing a cozy game, Sujin sure was staring intensely at the screen. "Come help me find animals. I want a rabbit too."

Sometimes Haemin wondered if Sujin was in fact a robot put together by some genius and then sent out in the world to see how the AI would fare surrounded by humans and their illogical thinking. Haemin did like Sujin a lot and found him nice to hang out with (mainly because he never forced conversation and was quite content to chill in silence) but then he would do or say something that would leave him baffled, or at least bemused.

"It's a game, Sujinnie," he said mildly as he moved his animal crossing avatar around, running over the island exploring. "It's not supposed to be realistic." Haemin glanced over at the other's screen. "I put my tent near the beach. I miss being by the sea and seeing as I could never afford a place with a view of any body of water in real life... this will have to do."

"This is supposed to be a cosy and relaxing game, so try not to read to much into it, okay?" Haemin leaned closer to his friend, resting on his shoulder as he began to shake the fruit off the trees with gusto. "Although I'm now in debt to a family of capitalist raccoons and have to sell fruit and wild animals to get a real house. At least my neighbours are cute! I got a chicken and a rabbit. What about you?"

[lgcsujin]

"What about hyung's preference?" Sujin asked in return. He was willing to listen to the eldest of this three people group out of respect and take on whatever role.

If it was up to him and what he wanted...

"Comfort zone wise, I would be better with the villain." Wealthy douche sounded like a perfectly suitable role for him. Some of the people in his life might even agree that he was already half way there with his attitude. "Lead role is good too. I can look softer. With this project, the acting part is a lot easier than the fashion part, I think." He made a solid attempt to smile. Been trying to do more of that lately.

Sujin reached into his closet and dug out a tie. It was silky and dark mauve, very similar to a tie he'd seen the villain of the movie wear. He must have a suit to match it somewhere if he owned this piece of accessory. Patricia did not purchase items for him unless they could be easily matched with what already existed in his closet, after all.

"What do you think?" He held it against his chest and turned to show Jinseo. "I could also go for green as well, if we are looking for suits in brighter colors. I have two of those. Different shades."

Jinseo may have been a rich kid, but there were some displays of wealth that made him question his own family's wealth.

Exhibit A: Sujin.

Growing up, Jinseo and his family didn't exactly have personal stylists for their everyday lives. At most, his family only had things done bespoke more than anything else. Sense of style and other things? They developed those on their own. Perhaps Jinseo lucked out that he had used all the chances given to him to learn to dress well despite being a nerdy loser for most of his life.

Chuckling, Jinseo shakes his head and pulls the jacket out of Sujin's hands. "Remember, we're going for something on-theme with the movie," he says. He lifts the jacket to examine it again. "If you want to go for Chulsoo, also known as our dear werewolf boy, we'll have to give you a softer look. Pair up the knitwear with some plaids, like how they styled Song Joongki..."

Walking toward Sujin's (thankfully) neatly organized closet, Jinseo continues his train of thought. "If you want to do Jitae's role, he wears a lot of suit jackets, but they're more colorful to reflect his wealthier background," Jinseo explains. Chuckling, Jinseo adds, "Emphasizes that he's the main douche in the film, too."

Honestly, Jinseo doesn't mind taking whichever character, knowing that he can do both. It's a matter of Sujin's preference, comfort, and skill level. There's a reason he prepared two versions of his plan, depending on what Sujin says. "How comfortable are you doing the lead role? Or would you prefer being the villain?"
