the smile on haneulās face contradicted the thoughts that were running through her head. have they had an unpleasant encounter before?Ā āthatās perfect.ā she knew that the other wasnāt exactly pleased to be talking to her based off his tone, but sheās already this far into the conversation. maybe she could take a page out her motherās book and justā¦ not care. just take whatever she was given and try to steer the conversation back into comfortable territory.
her grin slightly falters for a split second as she tilts her head to the side at him. āiām sorry to hear about your unwanted interactions with strangers. maybe youāll have better luck next time around?ā haneulās wavering confidence is hard to notice past her habit of talking a lot more than necessary. ābut invisibility is definitely a great one. iād pick that so i could actually have time to myself as well, but since you chose that one already, iāll pick a different one. hm, what about telepathy? is that one good? thatās probably like my third pick, but i think itād come in handy sometimes.āĀ
in a split-second, taewoongās expression turns from some pained look of forced amiability to utter confusion. maybe a tinge of embarrassment, tooĀ ā and all it takes is realizing that the meaning of telepathy has slipped his mind. in a matter of seconds, he silently reprimands himself for not paying more attention to thoseĀ āboring superhero moviesā certain groupmates had watched before they began living independently.Ā ātelepathy, as in...ā think, think, think. do not be caught slipping.Ā ā... moving things with your mind, right? ... why?ā
he shifts his weight from one foot to the other, weighing his options. if he were to sprint right now, would she remember? maybe itās too early into the conversation for it to leave a lasting mark in her mind... but if it does, then... whatāll she think of him? best to brave this one out. he clears his throat, tries to look natural. somehow, his intense attempts to seem as casually knowledgeable as possible have muted his ever-present temper. thatās a good thing, at least.Ā āmost people would go for their second choice if their first has already been taken, though..? iām kind of curious about whatās in second place now. is it embarrassing?ā

moon taewoong + bird-watching!
taewoong doesnāt have many hobbies, but the few ones that he does have are very, very special to him. first in line is bird-watchingĀ ā an activity that brought him comfort as a trainee and continues to bring him comfort to this day. he thinks birds are the best creatures out there, so itās only natural that heād spend his free time studying them.
woong was first introduced to bird-watching when he was around eight years old. all he really did outside of school was sit under the same tree and feel sorry for himself, so his grandma eventually realized he needed a distraction from his Woe Is Me attitude. the solution?Ā āgoing grocery shopping in town.ā
woong hated the farm, so heād always eagerly accept an opportunity to get away. however, they never actually went grocery shopping. every single time, sheād take him to some little corner of nature and whip out her binoculars.
he fell for this shit every time!!! why? because he was eight.
for a while, heād complain about how boring it was, how boring she was, how he didnāt understand why he had to sit around and look at a bunch of birds justĀ ācause she didnāt want to do it alone. too young and oblivious to realize that she was really just trying to share her peace/happiness with him, and in retrospect, he does feel guilty about all the times he gave her hell for it.
eventually he started playing soccer, which took up most of his time & he used it as an excuse to not go bird-watching with her anymore, but once he stopped he realized that he... kind of missed it? what the fuck?
but he didnāt go bird-watching again until he was around 17, a very lonely trainee in seoul who just wanted to feel connected to something again. started out just chilling in parks when he had free time, looking at the pigeons and feeding them even though it usually lead to someone telling him Thatās Not Allowed!
the hobby stayed pretty simple until he debuted, which is when he really, really needed a distraction. he bought binoculars & bird-watching books and started taking day-trips when he wasnāt busy to random places that strangers on the internet said were good for spotting birdsĀ ā for some reason, he was embarrassed about this hobby, so he never talked about it to anyone. in 2021, itās still really secretive.
because of his desire to keep this hobby a secret, he covers his face really well when heās on a bird-watching trip. scarves, sunglasses, mask... sometimes he looks super shady, but he doesnāt care.
if you ever run into him on an off-day and see his bird-watching book, binoculars, or his Bird Notebook in his hands... no you didnāt.
speaking of the bird notebook, taewoong isnāt artistically inclined by any means, but he likes to sketch the birds that he sees. just rough sketches, obviously, though every now and then heāll get ahead of himself and try to make them look better. he takes notes too: things like their behavior, where exactly he saw them.
one of his favorite things is going on picnics by himself, just chilling somewhere private and spending a few hours watching birds. itās A Healing Experience.
posts anonymously on bird-watching forums, asks for the best places in korea (or abroad, when heās on tour) to see certain types of birds. always has incognito mode on because he will NOT be caught slipping.
his favorite birds are cormorants, masked boobies, turtle doves, pigeons and snow geese, but he likes anything with wings. there are birds heād rather avoid or ones that he isnāt as excited to see, but he doesnāt really have one he blatantly DoesnātĀ Like.
his dream is to see a blue-eyed ground dove, but considering how rare they are, he knows itās far-fetched and probably will never happen. still... a man can dream

fmdsunghee:
location: sunghee & jaeyeolās apartment
with: open
some day, sunghee will drag one of the comfortable chairs in front of the big windows in their living room. with their feet against the glass, they will open the upper part of the window, a joint in one of their hands, some type of snack in the other. they will sit there for as long as their mind allows them to ā which is usually a lot when weed is in the equation like this ā thoughts drifting freely. thereās a lot of comfort to be found in being alone. no oneās demanding anything from them, be that attention or āproperā reactions. sungheeās been tiring so much and so fast lately, even more than usual, to the point where forcing themselves to emote in public is not something they bother to do anymore. let anyone they come across on the street believe they have a resting bitch face.
today, sunghee has company. they donāt remember if the person came to visit them or jaeyeol, if thereās a reason they are around or they just came for the sake of it ā sunghee wasnāt paying attention when they let them in, so it could be the weed but it can also just be them. sunghee canāt help feeling a bit forced to engage as itās what most people expect from them, anyway. joint in one hand, tube of sour cream pringles in the other, this time the chair is facing the couch instead of the windows. āaliens. yes or no?ā
itās boredom that chases taewoong to sungheeās side, and maybe a pinch of loneliness, too, though he wonāt admit it. he hadnāt been expecting sunghee to be highĀ ā tells himself that he shouldnāt have bothered coming over, but then tells himself that itās better this way. at least if theyāre high, they wonāt question woongās sudden plea for coexistence. itās awkward at firstāas any social interaction is when perceived by woongābut he eventually settles into the comfortable silence, staring at the screen of his phone. all he really wants is the company, so he considers it a strike of bad luck when sunghee speaks up. of course it has to be about aliens, too; has he won the lottery? it keeps getting better.
he stretches his legs out, even tilts his head far to one side until his neck cracks, then to the other as if the impending conversation is something that he has to shake off his laziness for.Ā āiām the wrong person to be talking to about aliens,ā he starts, tone half-bored as he continues looking at his phone.Ā āto give a short answer, no. to give details, i think that itās fuckinā ridiculous to assume weāre alone in the universe, but i think itās equally ridiculous to assume that any other life out there is drastically different from our own. weāre not in a sci-fi film.ā he locks his phone screen and straightens his posture slightly, planting his feet firmly on the ground again as he leans forward in his seat. seems more interested than before, but really, heās trying to derail the conversation before it gets to a point that he canāt follow along.Ā āi wouldnāt mind if aliens existed if they looked like the ones from coneheads, though. you ever seen that movie? itās old as shit, american. bet we could stream itĀ ā do you want to?ā

with: anyone!
after years of thinking she was going after something unachievable, haneul was finally able to make her debut. with a song like āsinging in the rainā that wasnāt too difficult for her to pull off, there was simply nothing that could break the spell she was seemingly under. she hadnāt been paying attention to the feedback of the single either as it wasnāt a song she was deeply in love with or cared for. therefore, everywhere the newly debuted idol went there was a spring in her steps, accompanied by soft hums of whatever song was on her mind.
haneulās hums died down once she saw a familiar face. one she couldnāt determine whether itās anĀ āiāve seen you on my phone screenā familiar face or a āwe have talked beforeā familiar face. she couldnāt remember after a minute of trying to recall if sheād met them, so there was no harm in introducing herself again if they have met before, right? there were multiple ways she could play it off either way. āhello! iām haneul.ā her eyebrows furrowed immediately after, as she was questioning whether or not she was supposed to use her stage name now.Ā āhana now, i guess? ignore that please.ā her mediocre social skills were already starting to show. āif you could have any superpower, which one would you want?āĀ
āignore what?ā the question came out with a sharper edge than taewoong had intended, but that wasnāt anything newĀ ā speaking to people was hard enough for him as is, let alone strangers. for a second, he considered taking her words literally and ignoring her presence in its entirety, walking away before she could start talking again. he waited too long, though, and her conversation starter caught him just off-guard enough that he simply stared at her for a few drawn-out seconds. what the fuck? where had that come from? did he look like he was cosplaying as a superhero or something?
āinvisibility, so i could exist without being bothered by random people.ā snarky undertones suggested that he was speaking about her, but he tried to keep his expression from giving it away completely. she hadnāt done anything wrong, anyway, and he knew that he shouldnāt take his irritation out on herĀ ā still, he couldnāt force a nonexistent friendliness into his tone.Ā āwhat about you, elektra?ā

the open floor plan of taewoongās new apartment rejects the concept of privacy. he canāt hide the still packed boxes or the week-old takeout cartons, so thereās no use in tryingĀ ā they mix with the new boxes he keeps throwing to the floor as he pulls the aquarium decorations out of them. a disaster zone, if heās honest. a stubbed toe or a surprise stumble waiting to happen, but he hasnāt apologized even once for the mess. he just kicks cardboard and plastic out of the way when he needs to, expects yul to catch on and do the same.Ā āi donāt really know what the fuck iām doing, to be honest,ā he admits, gaze flashing towards his old roommate for a fleeting instant. his mouth stretches into a hesitant smile. maybe he shouldāve just done this alone.
āiām no interior designer.Ā āspecially not one catering to frogs. i wanted toast to have a lot of enrichment, even though he doesnāt even really do much. i got some stuff for the others, tooāā the other residents of this particular habitat group, he means. a betta fish, some ghost shrimp,Ā ābut i ended up buying a lot of... bullshit.ā thereās no particular theme, either; pop-culture decorations, leaf-beds that suction to the aquarium walls, stone hide-outs, plants.Ā āi donāt have a game plan, so just do whatever, i guess.ā he gives a half-hearted shrug as he leans over the side of the 30-gallon tank, pressing one of the smaller hideouts into a barren corner.Ā āthanks for coming, anyway. iām sure youāre busy with the music show. howās that going, by the way? is it fun?ā

born on january 15, 1997 at 7:13am, woong is a capricornĀ ā he views life as one long race, and he can never make up his mind about whether he should sprint as fast as he can or save up his energyĀ ātil later on. focused on success and independence. he wants to be seen as someone valuable, and heās willing to step on others to make it happen.Ā
sun in capricornĀ ā poor self-expression, inclination to be uptight, views life itself as a competition. stuck somewhere between not giving a damn about what he does or doesnāt do and wanting to be on top at all times. competitive, which leads to bursts of extreme effort followed by periods of nonchalance.
sore loser. doesnāt matter if he loses in a true competition or in a board game; heās gonna be a bitch about it.
doesnāt know how to have fun.
ascendant in capricornĀ ā not necessarily self-centered, but definitely self-focused. cares more about making himself succeed than helping others succeed. often said to beĀ ātoo seriousā and, to people who donāt know him, his default expression can even look a bit sad. deep thinker.
moon in ariesĀ ā deep-rooted feelings of inferiority. always thinks that he needs to prove himself, whether or not heās actually being evaluated. bragger, show-off, whatever.Ā
mercury in capricornĀ ā values introspection, but somehow still seems out of touch with himself and with others. lots of deep, serious thoughts, but extremely poor communication skills. rarely says what heās thinking, and at times, itās almost like he expects people to read his mind. gets upset when he isnāt understood.
venus in capricornĀ ā very, very cautious in getting close to others, whether romantically or platonically. a fear of betrayal and rejection means that woong would rather spend the rest of his life alone than admit that heās in love with someone or let someone become hisĀ ābest friendā. privacy, privacy, privacy; itās one of his biggest values, even though it leads to plenty of loneliness. spontaneous people scare him the most, though he was the same way just a couple years ago.
mars in libraĀ ā passive-aggressive. doesnāt have enough self-control to soothe his temper, but lacks the communication skills needed to outright say when heās bothered. tends to beat around the bush, but even when his point is acknowledged, heāll be likeĀ āno, itās fineā. eye roll.
no oneās a mind-reader, but you better learn how to read his or heāll riot!!! (quietly, while saying that everythingās good :))
jupiter in capricornĀ ā focused, serious, self-reliant.Ā āitāll happen because i have a planā. doesnāt waste time on useless, time-consuming side-projects. looks at the bigger picture and thinks about what will help him the most in the long run.
doesnāt accept handouts.
saturn in ariesĀ ā always on guard. sensitive to criticism, likely to lash out when he feels like heās being attacked/cornered, even if itās all in his head. feels like he has a lot to prove, so he can be a show-off at times. not above lying to make himself seem better than he is in whatever way necessary.
overall,Ā independent, withdrawn, competitive. a very serious mindset that results in him clashing with most of the people around him because he isnāt spontaneous, he isnāt fun, and he hates to see people living in ways that he doesnāt understand. difficult to understand, difficult to get through to. poor communication skills.Ā ābetter left alone.ā

woongās relevance within unity and how he feels about it.
woong has jaehyun & jungwooās lines, which means he gets a lot of center time and a lot of killing parts in unityās songs.
he used to not think much about it because he was just happy to be involved, i guess; he didnāt undervalue or overvalue himself, just viewed unity as a fun little group project and all he really had to do was carry his weight.
but as heās aged, fame his undoubtedly gotten to his head. now heās a bit arrogant, a bit full of himself, a bitĀ āi donāt even have to lift a finger, i can just stand here and iāll still be successfulā. thinks heās built different ig
he doesnāt pursue any solo activities outside of unity and turns away from any opportunities that may be presented to him for a few different reasons, mainly because he doesnāt want dimensions to get any more money from him than they already do and he thinks heās already doing more than enough just by Being Sexy (his words)
his image is meant to be kinda cold andĀ āchicā, the Unattainable Cool Guy, tsundere.... something like that? known best for his on-stage and off-stage smolder. very sharp stare, if he doesnāt like something or want to be somewhere, it shows. resulted in some criticism earlier on, but now fans like it.
i donāt think he pulls in many solo stans, thoughĀ ā heās interesting at first, but it takes a special kind of person to stay interested once it becomes obvious that heās not the type who opens up over time, warms up, or shows affection to fans. thereās a very high fence between him and everyone else, impossible to cross.
blunt, smart-ass relationship with his fans. he isnāt mean to them (he knows better), but if heās doing a livestream and listening to music in the background but a fan requests for him to play something else, heāll be likeĀ āif youāre here to listen to music, just leave and do that on your own. iāll listen to what i like, okay?ā
getting him to do aegyo is impossible. he mightāve done it a couple times when he was a rookie, but now he redirects the requests to the fan who asked, or to other members if he was asked on some kind of interview.
he pushes his luck a lot. while he IS valuable, he overestimates his value within unity and even within the company itself, thinks he can get away with a lot justĀ ācause heās moon taewoong. but on the other hand, he knows that he doesnāt actually have a whole lot to offer in any other field, so he hasnāt quite reached theĀ āi donāt give a single fuckā point yet. keeps himself in line because he needs $$$ money $$$
paychecks keep him motivated. thereās nothing else he cares about within the idol industry, so at this point, the only reason heās still making an effort to go above and beyond on stage is because heās materialistic.Ā āi just made a million and iām still not satisfiedā irlĀ

@fmdyeonggi.
still in the first week of inkigayoās newest trio of mcs, taewoong finds the time in his overwhelmingly busyāor, as some may say, emptyāschedule to stop by. an earlier claim states that his intentions are to give yul a pleasant surprise, but as he circles the same fifty square feet with an expression that reads disinterested, donāt bother, it seems that the biggest surprise will be when the fansite photos of him entering the sbs building do their rounds. as always, he really just cares about the positive attention he can get by piggy-backing off of other unity memberās solo activities instead of having to lift any of his own fingers. if he gives this pretend-searching another twenty minutes, heāll probably be able to reasonably say that he was too late, couldnāt catch his groupmate in time. what a shame.
karma must be real, though, because yul doesnāt appear in his path, but ma yeonggi does. the first emotion that taewoong feels is everyday annoyance; the same thing associated with the misfortune of stepping on a fresh piece of gum. but then it suddenly catches fire, turns into anger. in these situations, it usually does, and he lacks the self-control to keep himself quiet.Ā ācongratulations on your new gig,ā he starts, half-smilingĀ ā a contradictory sign that despite his almost polite tone, thereās no friendliness to be found here. he slows his pace, then comes to a halt in front of yeonggi; even side-steps a little to cut him off in his path.Ā āseems like youāreĀ everywhere these days. good for you, but doesnāt bcĀ know thatĀ thereās not much charm in the jack of all trades, master of none?ā

@fmdtaejin.
does taewoong actually care about champion? the answer is a resounding noĀ ā heād thought that the idea was absolutely ridiculous the first time that heād caught wind of it, and he still thinks that itās ridiculous now. just another way to bring money in, heās sure, but is a song with a title likeĀ ājoppingā really going to bring in money? (he knows it will. of course it will. the cynical side of him wishes that it wouldnāt.)
still, heās here; sitting in a waiting room labeled champion, pretending to be a nice, supportive surprise. really, he just wanted a photo-op of him entering the building so that fans would stop talking about how heās become so distant from his members lately, he must not care anymore. couldāve snuck back out after that, maybe, but thereās nothing else for him to do and maybe a couple selfies with jaewon, yul or guanting in their stage outfits will make him look even better. staring at the television in the waiting room, he just feels dull.
āyou know,ā he suddenly starts, finally addressing the other idol in the roomĀ ā taejin. though he doesnāt consider himself a fan of decipher by any means, he figures itās impossible to not recognize taejin nowadays. heās everywhere, isnāt he? now heās here, a few feet away. small world.Ā āwhen i was little, i never imagined that music like this existed. iām from a rural area, so itās not like i left my house and saw advertisements everywhere, you know? and music just wasnāt a big part of my life at all. i took a music class, but doesnāt every kid? we didnāt learn about pop culture.ā heās rambling, and he doubts that taejin even cares about what he has to say. but heās on a roll now, so he canāt stop. wonāt be able toĀ ātil heās inevitably overshared, assuming he hasnāt already.
āiām not even kidding. when i was little, i thought music was just the traditional stuff, classical stuff. unityās been active for four years and iām still shocked every time i hear our music. and this... jopping?ā he laughs under his breath, but itās more disbelief than actual humor. he looks away from the screen to look at taejin, see if heās even listening. if the roles were reversed, he knows he wouldāve zoned out five words in.Ā ādo you know what i mean? probably not, huh? youāve been active for a while.ā

all current unity title tracks as ranked by moon taewoong.
boss.Ā musically-speaking, woong thinks that boss is unityās best title track. he was pretty shocked the first time he heard the instrumental, was not at all expecting to hear a unity song that didnāt immediately make his head hurt. while the sound is still kind of ~experimental~, he genuinely thinks that it works??? this is probably the era where he looked the most comfortable on stage because he didnāt entirely hate the song he was performing.
kick it.Ā kick it is a guilty pleasure. woong hates to admit that he likes it, but he..... really does. he thinks itās a fun song (he still knows how to have fun??? wow!) and while itās kind of tiring to perform, he wasnāt mad about having to perform it. he thought the stage stylings were cool, too, but thatās another thing he wonāt admit.
punch.Ā again, woong doesnāt like admitting that he enjoys this song, but he does. tries to blame it on the fact that heās getting SO used to unityās messy songs that they simply donāt strike him as bizarre anymore because god forbid he ever admits that he still enjoys things sometimes. as much shit as he talks about unityās music, heās more of a performance-focused person anyway and he thinks that punch was just..... cool.
regular.Ā woong liked regular, but by the time that it was released, he had fallen deep into hisĀ āmoney above everything elseā mindset and his paranoid ass thought that it was a call-out, so he acted uninterested.Ā ādamn, could never be meā type beat. but by the end of promotions, he had loosened up a little and was having fun with it.
the 7th sense.Ā if taewoong knew what was ahead of him, he wouldāve appreciated the 7th sense so much more. he thought it was kind of outside the box for a debut song, was kind of bitchy during promotions because he was in physical pain from not knowing what tf to do about the injuries he was hiding atm, was reported to lookĀ āboredā orĀ āangryā on stage. the 7th sense.... come back to him. heāll treat u better this time <3
limitless.Ā something about limitless feels inexplicably eerie to woong. heās tried to talk about it before and his fans just told him to shut tf up (fair enough), but the feeling is still there??? you might think it would make him not like limitless, but itās the opposite. he thinks itās kind of interesting, wouldnāt mind dropping another song like it.
firetruck.Ā firetruck felt (and still feels) like a fever dream to taewoong. the first time he heard it, he absolutely hated it. the second time, he hated it even more. even by the time recording was done, it was released and they were promoting it, he! still! hated! it! but... then he watched the comments slowly go from sayingĀ āthis made my ears bleedā toĀ āwait, this is kinda good though?ā over the course of a few weeks, then a few months. ended up becoming begrudgingly fond of firetruck as he watched others warm up to it.Ā
without you.Ā as someone who complains about unityās experimental sound so much, youād think that their one relatively normal-sounding title track would be higher up in the list. however, woongās really particular/picky about music (shocker!) and this song reminds him a lot of one direction. heās not about that.
touch.Ā he doesnāt really have any actual issues with touch, itās just that the concept didnāt fit his assigned image at all and he didnāt like reading comments about how ~itās nice to see him lighten up for once~ or, alternatively, ~woong doesnāt suit this~. felt awkward promoting touch, so it can kiss his ass. goodbye.
cherry bomb.Ā woong doesnāt like anything about cherry bomb and canāt even be bothered to pretend like he does. itās not his least favorite, he just thinks that it??? sucks??? when he read comments clowning theĀ āif youāre happy and you know it, clap your hands!ā part, he couldnāt even blame them. he thinks itās dumb, too.
simon says.Ā all that woong has to say about this song is what the fuck? he actually thought that it was okay the first couple of times he heard it, but by the end of promotions, he started to think that it sounds an awful lot like radio static and random stations bleeding together ācause the signalās bad.Ā
superhuman.Ā honestly, woong doesnāt think that superhuman is unityās worst song. the reason that he claims that itās his least favorite is because heās super petty and he doesnāt like superheroes, so the concept was really dumb/unappealing to him. he still wouldnāt like the song very much if the concept was something different, though.Ā

šš”šš«š'š¬ šš„š¦šØš¬š šš§ šš©šØš„šØš š² šØš§ šš”š šš¢š© šØš š”š¢š¬ ššØš§š š®š,Ā but jinsol ultimately decides he does not actually need to apologize; he unintentionally twisted words taewoongās words if thatās the case, but regardless! the bookstore.Ā āokay, yes, i do want to go thereā¦ā he trails off, wondering if the idea of new electronics is that unappealing for the other, before deciding to go on with it and have the both of them heading in a backtracked direction.
āmy question is, what are you going to spend your money on? i guess that isnāt my business,ā except for the fact that he was making it his business right now by prying.Ā ābutā¦ curious. and they gave us money to spend, not save and hoard. i think.ā were there conditions with the money given to them under the relaxation card? in his haste with the joy of pulling this card versus the others, jinsol had been less prudent than usual in paying attention to the instructions.
sometimes bookstores can be treasure havens or the same boring things, so he hopes that a store in such a popular area as this will not disappoint. the door opens with a jingle and he glances back at woong before moving forth to take a deep breath. the silence inside is such a contrast to the busyness of the streets past the glass doors.Ā āthe ambience. i. love. bookstores.ā granted he canāt read the script here, and itās starting to make him feel uneasy.Ā āthough i feel like an outcast here,ā since itās no surprise, that nearly everything is in mandarin chinese.Ā āumā¦ i donāt know if iāll get much shopping done here to be honest,ā he says slowly as he flips through one of the books, the colours more comforting than anything.Ā ābut thanks for joining me here anyway, woong-ah.āĀ
ābooks, obviously. weāll look really smart if we both spend all our money on booksĀ ā and not only smart. weāll look ambitious, too, for buying them in a language that we donāt know yet.ā not that taewoong really cares how they look. both he and jinsol are on the quieter side, and something tells him that the two of them browsing a bookstore will be deemed too boring to air on a reality show with so many different idols doing their own things. he doesnāt know about jinsol, but he can confidently say that he hasnāt done anything worth being aired at all so far. (itās kind of intentional, though; a stubborn rebellion against his life being broadcasted when he should be cozy at home.)
itās been a while since heās stepped into a bookstore, so itās difficult for him to adjust. thereās a brief moment when it almost feels like heās stepped back in time and the feeling disorients him, but heās quick to snap back to reality.Ā āarenāt we outcasts everywhere?ā he asks. on the surface, it seems like nothing more than an allusion to their career choice. if you look deeper, itās really in reference to their introverted natures.Ā āthatās just part of it. i donāt see why you wouldnāt be able to get any shopping done.ā itās protective, almost, the way heās so quick to pull his phone out and load google translateĀ ā a split-second realization that likely wouldnāt have crossed his mind if heād come alone.
āif thereās something you really want to understand, we can take a picture and put it through google translate. i know itās not perfect, but itās better than it used to be. i use it all the time when unityās on tour,ā he informs, though for now, he chooses to rely on common sense to get a general idea for where different genres might be located. at the moment, dictionaries are on his mind.Ā āfirst, letās find some mandarin to korean dictionaries and see if there are any, uh... beginnerās lesson books or whatever. maybe look at the little kidsā books, too? after that... i donāt know, think of your favorite books or whatever. we can see if there are mandarin editions here. i donāt read, but iāll help you look.ā
