❝ LIFE IN PIECES. ❞

dig a little deeper. these are the songs that describe the story of yoo kihyun’s life, attitude, feelings, and everything that makes him, him.

⋯ BONUS I: kihyun’s study playlist consists of mellow songs that are of little distraction to him, but still provide a background noise. prisoner has a subdued guitar riff that calms him down; why has soothing vocals, and beautiful has a certain allure that he is drawn to. ⋯ BONUS II: kihyun’s favourite songs are a range of different genres. youngblood has the edginess that he enjoys in rock; runaway baby is an upbeat song by one of his favourite artists, and hug me provides a sultry feel through a satisfyingly husky voice.

1. FALSE CONFIDENCE by Noah Kahan.

And I wonder why I tear myself down To be built back up again

kihyun lives by what is arguably the most famous idiom: fake it ‘til you make it. he likes to pretend like he’s hot shit, like he isn’t just as insecure (or maybe even more so) than everyone else.

2. HANG UPS by Scott Helman.

I know that I got hang ups But, baby, please don’t hang up

everyone has hang ups, and kihyun is no exception. he knows he is a difficult person to deal with, and so he can’t help but wish that people wouldn’t give up on him so easily.

3. NAKED by The Vamps.

And in his head he gets knocked down But he's focused His motive is to make himself proud

kihyun has his eye on the prize. that is, he’s dedicated to making something of himself. he has clear goals, but they’re never to impress others; it’s all too prove it to himself that he can do it.

4. I’M OK by Taeyeon.

I try to pretend that I’m fine I try to ignore everything

rather than pertaining to kihyun himself, this song describes the relationship between his mother and father, before his father abandoned them during his mother’s pregnancy. or at least, this is what he knows from the stories he has heard.

5. HOW R U TODAY by N.Flying.

It gets worse as the days go by Memories of you grow thicker

just like any other child who loses their loving caregiver, kihyun misses his mother. he wonders how the afterlife is treating her in heaven, because down on earth without her, he’s living in hell.

6. MASK by Ftisland.

I’m losing myself in frozen time It’s getting hard and complicated I feel so pathetic, I can’t do this anymore

another song that relates to his parents’ relationship, this song also has certain lyrics that kihyun can relate to. specifically, the ones about pain.

7. PHOTOGRAPH by offonoff.

After staring for a while I want to keep everything like this

kihyun loves photography because it allows him to capture every precious moment in a tangible, static form–moments that he can smile at even when he’s old and forgetful.

❝ in time.

@mijoork​

backdated to 2014.

kihyun’s frugal. he can’t afford to be anything but, considering he lives off two minimum wage part time jobs and attends university. and yet, he can’t sacrifice his morning coffee. it’s simply impossible to imagine, whether it’s due to a caffeine addiction or the constant need for some form of energy when he’s running on 3 hours of sleep.

so he has a budget for himself to feed his addiction, an allotted amount of money set aside per paycheque. kihyun thinks it’s enough—it has been for the past few weeks—but when his card gets declined at the cafe, and there’s a long line of equally deprived caffeine-addicts grumbling about how long he’s taking, kihyun learns that maybe he needs to give up coffee. or get another job. he definitely needs another job.

dejected, he turns away from the counter empty handed, only to realize that his morning is progressively getting worse.

an old friend is in line, not too far from him. even though it’s been years, kihyun could recognize seungah from a mile away, what with her button nose and sharp eyes that he grew up seeing on a daily basis. she hasn’t changed much since he last saw her—since she disappeared when he needed her most. some friend she was.

kihyun’s angry, both due to the lack of caffeine in his system and the memories and bubble to the surface of his brain. when he’s angry he gets petty. he doesn’t even realize what he’s doing until he stomps passed the girl, bumping shoulders with her and addressing her with a falsely saccharine voice. “oh, sorry, i didn’t see you there.”

@yujurk​

more often than he would please, kihyun finds himself in the company of choi yena. there’s nothing wrong with the girl herself, but time spent in her kitchen is also time that could be better spent studying or picking up extra shifts at the convenience store. but what is he supposed to do, ignore the incessant stream of texts that complain about the flu?

kihyun’s not stupid. he knows it’s a ruse; it’s simply impossible for someone to be ill four times a week, even if their immune system is weaker than his arm muscles. yena’s act is too obvious, to the point which she doesn’t even bother exaggeratedly coughing into her sleeve anymore.

he lets himself in, knowing that the door is left unlocked in anticipation of his arrival, and makes for the kitchen. setting the bag of ingredients on the counter, kihyun hollers, “choi yena, i’m here! get your “sick” ass in the kitchen by the time i count to five, or else i’ll spit in your food!” 

he’s thinking of attempting a new recipe and he may need some help. plus, kihyun’s feeling more irritable today than usual. if he has to whip up a meal while yena lounges around on her phone (or whatever else teenage girls do, he doesn’t really know), kihyun may explode. “one, two, three, four, five... five and a half...”

hello~ kihyun needs some connections ! if you can fill any of these slots in, then that would be much appreciated ♡

a best friend (male or female, relatively close to his age!)

a childhood friend (he moved to seoul at a very young age so anyone from that area!)

someone to dote on (he was an only child so someone who he can treat like a younger sibling)

his first crush (a girl, probably from high school or middle school, that rejected him and they meet again!)

classmates (korea university students!)

neighbours

“i still don’t see how any of this is useful…..” he muttered a hand in his hair as he looks over the page again, one of the many textbooks he had borrowed from his roommate and then assigned to read over by his tutor slash ex coworker slash kind of friend. “hyung, i dont get it.” 

tutoring isn’t always all that bad. sometimes, kihyun gets a particularly nice family that will feed him while he helps their children, who pay him double what he asks when they learn that he’s an orphaned, struggling university student. it pays—quite literally—to have a few rich customers.

but yugyeom... even if he were to pay kihyun a million dollars, it still wouldn’t lessen the physical pain that his sheer stupidity causes the tutor. 

he’s explained things twice, in the simplest terms he could conjure. if his flyers didn’t proclaim that he could teach “anyone, anything!” and if it weren’t for his pride, then he would have given up by now. even if yugyeom is a little more than an acquaintance (but maybe less that a friend).

“are you kidding me?” kihyun groans, slapping a hand to his forehead. the sting is punishment for his failure. he shuffles his chair closer, pushing the books on the table towards yugyeom as if it the close proximity would miraculously improve his peanut-for-a-brain. “what don’t you get? i know you’re not used to it, but for once, use your words instead of your dick, yugyeom.”

lending hand.

( ... )

he entered, seeing no one but the worker which didn’t surprise him, and quickly made his way over to the ramyeon. browsing for a moment, then deciding on a small shrimp ramyeon and banana milk before making his way over to the register. it took him a moment but he managed to get some nerve to speak.  “…….having a good night?” 

seoul is a city densely populated, and so, kihyun doesn’t often remember faces of customers he’s ringed up. there are a few regulars at the convenience store, like the odd middle aged woman who buys three packs of tampons and a canned coffee once a month, or the group of kids that stop for a bag of chips after their cram school. he greets those people with a smile, asks how their days have been, and the like. sometimes, they tell him, “keep the change.” (he pockets it with a thankful smile).

but that’s all towards the start of his shifts. after eleven, the steady stream of customers dwindles down to the occasional one or two individuals every few hours, and it gives kihyun enough time to catch up on some homework behind the counter, and on days that are slower, he engages in numerous, scattered power naps.

lately, however, he’s noticed a new face that’s there... every single wednesday at the same time, and kihyun’s not stupid; he can catch the eyes boring into him while he murmurs to himself about the right to privacy and ethical dilemmas in journalism. he must look insane, but it’s better than having nothing better to do than stalk a university student like this kid does. does he not have a curfew?

his walls are up the moment the younger boy opens his mouth to speak. kihyun can’t help but be suspicious as he scans the items. “yeah, i am. how about you? do you enjoy watching me work, or is your hobby just being creepy?”

past midnight.

[rkkihyun-blog]

just going to drop this here... a few ideas i’ve had for plots! but it’s not limited to this, so if you have anything you wanna try out, i can definitely try and fulfill your wishes~ other than these, please comment on this post with a song and i’ll write you a random starter!

ideas !

my guilty pleasure is disney movies so someone pls marathon every single movie from snow white to the incredibles 2 with me!!! but u gotta keep it a secret ok

one time i came over and cooked a meal for you cus you were sick, and now you call me at least four times a week claiming you’re “sick” because you can’t cook

i found a cell phone on a train so i kept it but now you’re aggressively texting me because you want it back and UM EXCUSE ME I DID NOT STEAL YOUR PHONE YOU’RE THE ONE WHO LEFT IT ON YOUR SEAT YOU DUMBASS

every wednesday night you come to the convenience store that i work at. i don’t know you, but it turns out that you just wanna keep me company during my shift so...... thanks..... but.... do you have a life or.....

I have the late shift and you’re always studying in your pjs

you asked me, a stranger on the street, to take a picture for your instagram and you were so amazed with my photography skills that now whenever you wanna update your feed you call your personal photographer aka me

We catch the same bus home and i always fall asleep, but you always wake me up at my stop

It’s 3 am and I’m still in the library studying for finals and I’m losing my grip on reality and I think I just saw a ghost

hey high school kids do you need a tutor? i’ll literally teach anyone anything for $10

lol so you’re just another rich kid huh... and here i was thinking that you were a decent person

sentence starters !

“You’re adorable. You think you can beat me.”

“Take this, and this, and this, oh, and don’t forget a sandwich!”

“Oh honey, no amount of beauty rest can help you.”

“Sometimes you need to make your sarcasm a little more clear.”

“I wouldn’t do that even if you paid me a million dollars.”

“Did you really just insult Captain America in front of me?”

“I can be flexible. As long as everything is exactly the way I want it, I’m totally flexible.”

“All nighter, you and me. First one to fall sleep buys the other dinner.”

“I am NOT boring!”

“It’s a real shame nobody asked for your opinion.”

concepts !

childhood friends / friends from high school

someone who knew his mother when she was alive and supported kihyun when she was in the hospital

coworkers and classmates

neighbours (same neighbourhood, same building, etc)

the first girl kihyun had ever liked, also his first and only rejection, n surprise! she’s back in his life

first girlfriend? yeah thats right he’s never dated before

first kiss? he never had time for that shit

*clears throat* hello everyone! it’s me, sunny, back with another attempt at a second muse ^^ (let’s hope i last longer than a week this time?) i’m completely overwhelmed by the amount of welcomes i’ve gotten within 3 hours, i seriously love you guys so much ♡ i’ll get to following everyone on the masterlist tomorrow after class, cus it’s late and i’m about to sleep, as well as reply to all messages! pls be patient with me ;_;

anyways, i present to you, mister yoo kihyun! he’s a studious dude, lives by himself, ultimate goal is to be a singer but he has a backup plan (photojournalist) and a backup backup plan (public relations specialist). basically, he’s got his whole life planned out in three different ways! what a guy! he has sort of a superiority complex when it comes to intelligence, and he’s a pretty confident fellow when it comes to his looks... if you need someone to take pictures for your instagram feed, he’s your guy. he doesn’t sleep a lot because of school and his job... that’s all i can think of for now T_T

i can’t wait to write with all of you guys (again!) please give my dude some love and plot with me on twitter preferably @p1nkup ~ thanks for reading up until here uwu
