         “  it’s  an  experiment  that  yes,   i’m  willingly  in  front  of  cameras  for,   but  ultimately:   i’m  not  here  for  anyone  else  but  myself.  ”    a  pause.    “  and  finn,  ”  she  tacks  on  at  the  end,   eyes  traveling  across  to  the  tall  man  on  the  beach,   before  looking  back.    “  see,   now  i  don’t  particularly  want  to.   maybe  i  should  just  leave  you  there.  ”  
Tumblr media
          “   sounds   like   someone   won’t   be   going   to   paradise   anytime   soon,   ”     he   comments,   voice   lower   enough   to   not   be   caught   by   too   many   ears.     “   maybe   i   won’t   go   at   all,   so   you’ll   have   to   manage   to   bring   that   one   bucket   by   yourself.   ”

this man and his smooth talking, amara thinks; unable to hide the smile from her face. “i know — i know. it’s just a little weird for me, i’m not used to people looking at me. don’t worry, you’ll make a great impression. everyone will love you.” how could they not? with his looks and personality he was meant to capture everyone’s heart. hopefully, he knew better than break hers. they could only wait, see and hope for the best. “of course. you know there’s not a thing i wouldn’t do for you..” crazy, stupid love. for someone who wasn’t exactly a fighter, amara wasn’t planning to give him up that easily. “– and don’t forget to actually help when we prepare dinner. peel the potatoes like i showed you and you’ll be fine. you got this.” 
Tumblr media
          a   smile   appears   on   her   lips   and   he   immediately   reciprocates.     even   after   years   together,   after   the   last   few   months   apart,   her   smile   never   fails   to   absolutely   melt   him.     “   oh,   you’re   in   so   much   trouble,   manoban.      you   just   happen   to   be   the   most   beautiful   girl   here,   all   eyes   are   on   you.   ”     and   his   included,   even   if   they   stray   every   so   often.     “   thanks   baby,   ”     words   slip   past   lips   before   even   realizing,   for   they’ve   been   said   countless   times   before.     “   i   really   believe   in   us,   i   do.     i   wouldn’t   put   you   through   all   of   this   if   i   didn’t   think   we   can   make   it.   ”     he   sighs   dramatically,   bringing   their   jointed   hands   up   to  his   lips,   pressing   a   kiss   to   her   knuckles   as   they   walk .     “   do   i   have   to   ?     i   could   be   tasked   with   getting   water   every   day   and   i’d   be   fine,   but   the   kitchen   is   a   scary   place.     knowing   how   to   peel   potatoes  or   not.   ”

“It would be the least they could do for their new heroes!” A smile formed on her face as she pranced ahead on the path, then turned around to wait for Klaus to catch up. “What would you want for dinner then? If the shots were ours to call.”
Tumblr media
         he   laughs,   and   it’s   the   reason   he   lingers   a   few   steps   behind.     though   soon   he   follows.     “   a   lot   of   protein.     i   really   am   craving   for   steak   right   now,   but   i   usually   eat   just    about   anything.     how   about   you,   anything   you   really   wish   you   could   eat   right   now   ?   ”

         “  i  promise  you,   it  is  just  as  straightforward  as  it  looks  -  ”    they  inform  him,   pink  lips  tugging  into  a  grin  at  his  antics.   “  but  i  can  teach  you  if  need  be.   just  copy  what  my  hand  is  doing,  yes ?  ”    smiles  at  him  warmly,  head  tilting  to  the  side.    “  great,   at  least  i  will  not  die  by  your  hand  tonight,   yes ?  and  that  i  am.  ”  
Tumblr media
          “   listen,   i   believe   you,   i   do.     i   just   know   myself   longer.   ”     though   he   nods,   positioning   himself   near   them   to   copy   her   actions.     gaze   meet   as   he   waits   for   further   instructions.     “   well,   it’s   nice   to   not   stab   you   rose.     so,   we’ve   been   here   for   a   few   hours.     anyone   caught   your   eye   yet   ?   ”

her mouth curved into a smile at the sound of his voice, “ — and here i thought you wouldn’t be in a hurry to abandon me in an island.” amara teases, though that’s not why they are here, right? there’s not a thing she wouldn’t do for klaus, including going to an island where he can find a million distractions. this wasn’t the best idea he had, but amara was willing to give it a try – being forever hopeful and optimistic. reaching for his hand, delicate fingers filled the gap between his. “then don’t try too hard. i still don’t think this show is for me.” 
Tumblr media
          “   the   hotel   isn’t   paradise   if   you’re   not   there,   so   trust   me,   i’m   in   no   hurry   at   all,   ”     he   tells,    a   smile   curling   at   the   edges   of   lips.     “   i’m   not.     i’m   just   being   friendly,   getting   to   know   everyone.     we’re   supposed   to,   it’s   part   of   the   show,   right   ?   ”     free   hand   lifts   in   feigned   surrender,   and   the   previously   charming   smile   soon   turns   apologetic.     it’s   not   a   lie,   but   it’s   not   the   absolute   truth   either.     the   line   between   friendly   and   flirty   is   incredibly   thin   and   easily   blurring.    “   i  know,   i’m   glad   that   you’re   giving   this   a   chance,   that   you   still   love   me   enough   to   try.   ”

“ this island is amazing.. do you think we’ll get the time to explore? i know we should probably take the time to meet other people, but i’m too excited and curious to find out what’s over there.”
Tumblr media
          “   do   you   want   to    go   exploring   right   now   ?   ”     he   suggests,   a    small   smiling   curling   upon   lips.     though   he   resists   the   frown   that   threatens   to   take   over   his   features.     she’s   got   a   point;     they   should   be   talking   to   other   people,   test   themselves   in   other   relationships,   relationships   that   could   be   potentially   less   emotionally   exhausting   than   theirs.     and   yet,   there   he   stays,   extending   a   hand   for   her   to   take.     “   we   have   time.     this   is   just   the   first   day,   and   i   wouldn’t   hate   it   so   much   to   stay   in   this   island   instead   of   going   to   paradise   if   i   get   to   spend   time   with   you.   ”

“Oh my, I’ve never seen so many hot people in one place before,” Alycia mumbled mostly to herself not realising someone was standing in earshot. Once she did Alycia flashed them a big smile, may the bisexual gods help her from making more of fool of herself. “Sorry I didn’t mean to say that out loud. Anyways, I’m Alycia. Where you dragged here by your partner too or was coming here your idea?”
Tumblr media
          a   laugh   fails   to   be   held   in.     “   hey,   no,   you’re   good—i’m   going   to   consider   myself   included   in   that   and   i   am   flattered   !     klaus,   ”     he   tells,   offering   a   hand   to   shake.     “   i’m   the   one   who   did    the   dragging.     i   really   needed   time   off   work   to   get   my   shit   together   and   see   if   there’s   still   a   way   to   salvage   my   relationship.    so   why   not   a   deserted   island,   right   ?     how   about   you   ?   ”

“You know,” Taeng leaned over to another islander, her voice low and conspiratorial. “I heard there’s a cafeteria around here. The two of us ought to seek it out. Everyone will owe us if we find it.”​​
Tumblr media
          a   faint   smile   appears   along   lips,   light   chuckle   soon   follows.     “   alright,   i’m   sold.     maybe   they’ll   let   us   choose   what   we’ll   make   for   dinner   tonight.   ”

𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓.
━━   𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂   𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.

nickname(s):   n/a.
age:   twenty-eight.  
birthday:   january 6, 1994.
zodiac   sign:   capricorn.
gender:   cis-male.
pronouns:   he/him.
birthplace:   chicago,   illinois.
ethnicity:   korean.
nationality:   american,   korean.
occupation:   commercial pilot.
━━   𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃.
          a   traditional   korean   family   struggles   to   make   ends   meet   in   the   late   70s,   and   the   american   dream   becomes   an   enticing   concept.     the   united   states   is   a   land   of   opportunities,   isn't   it   ?     and   so,   they   pursue   employment   there.
          but   attaining   the   american   dream   isn’t   as   easy   as   it   sounded,   and   after   three   children   are   born,   putting   food   on   the  table   and   paying   bills   on   time   prove   to   be   challenging   for   the   shin   family.
          klaus   witnesses   that   struggle   first   hand;     bullies   make   fun   of   his   off-brand   walmart   shoes,   frozen   dinners   eaten   alone   while   parents   work   and   even   power   cut-offs   for  being   late   on   electric   bills.
          at   fifteen   he   gets   a   job   mowing   the   lawn   in   the   north   side   of   chicago.     and   his   first   experience   in   a   rich   neighborhood   sets   him   in   a   new   path,   one   that   shapes   him   into   what   he   is   today.
          he   excels   in   academics   and   extracurricular   activities,   he   studies   harder,   he   works   harder,   he   becomes   a   better   son   and   a   better   brother.    he   doesn’t   stop   until   he’s   proud,   until   he’s   accepted   to   more   than   half   of   the   universities   he   applied   for.
          and   that’s   when   life   begins,   when   he   moves   out   and   gets   enrolled   in   university   of   southern   california   with   a   full   scholarship,   and   says   his   goodbyes   to   his   family   with   the   promise   of   giving   his   parents   and   sisters   a   better   life.
          it   takes   years,   but   he   gets   there.     he   makes   a   name   for   himself   and   his   family,   with   a   degree   in   aviation   technology,   a   commercial   pilot   certificate   and   a   salary   that’s   double   the   national   average.
          he   buys   his   parents   a   house,   he   helps   his   youngest   sister’s   college   tuition,   but   the   family   bond   weakens   with   his   distance.     he   doesn’t   visit,   he   doesn’t   call,   he   doesn’t   text.     the   only   interaction   being   monthly   deposits   into   their   checking   account.
          life   remains   lonely,   and   life   remains   busy,   and   he   accepts   it.     until   pretty   girl   bumps   into   him   at   the   airport.     an   embarrassing   coffee   accident   turned   into   love   story   brings   him   back   to   what   he   once   was—happy,   excited,   alive.
          he   falls   in   love,   and   he   loves   being   loved,   and   it’s   a   good   feeling   so   it   lasts.     it   lasts   three   full   years.     three   years   of   happiness,   of   having   someone   to   go   back   to   after   a   long   day   at   work,   of   visiting   beautiful   countries   together   and   of   whispers   of   cheesy   lines   at   the   end   of   every   trip.
          but   drifting   back   to   old   ways   is   easy   when   job   opportunities   keep   materializing,   and   she’s   soon   put   aside   as   work   is   prioritized.     missed   calls,   missed   date   nights,   missed   birthday.
          he   regrets   it,   but   work   continues   to   be   a   priority.     he   wants   to   be   a   better   boyfriend,   but   time   is   money.     he   tries,   but   there’s   always   a   but.     and   life   is   lonely   again,   life   is   busy   again,   but   this   time—it   hurts.     this   time,   he   knows   what’s   to   love   and   to   be   loved,   and   it   leaves   him   with   a   hole   in   his   chest   that   money   and   success   can’t   fill.
          an   opportunity   presents   itself   in   the   form   of   an   ad   and   he   takes   it   without   a   second   thought:     desert   island   with   her,   completely   detached   from   work,   with   time   to   organize   his   feelings,   with   time   to   manage   relationships   and   form   new   ones.     he   certainly   needs   it.
━━   𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.
          ✔     ambitious,   devoted,   generous,   charming,   responsible.
          ✘     egotistical,   ruthless,   detached,   materialistic,   unreliable.
━━   𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.
speaks   korean,   english,   spanish,   italian.
is   a   flirt   by   nature   and   will   flirt   in   the   name   of   being   nice.
can't   cook   to   save   his   life.
is   a   gym   rat.
he's   a   plant   parent   and   thank   god   for   amara   because   he's   never   home   long   enough   to   water   them   properly.
