presence 5 - he's perpetually terrible at buttoning up his school uniform all the way-- not that he has it all hanging open or something but he usually has the few top buttons hanging open. during his spare time he doesn't dress in super expensive clothes, but not clothes that are too shabby either.. like you'd never catch minhwan in a hoodie or something. even if he'd just be going to hang around and bum out with jaejin at some greasy chicken place he'd still dress fairly decently since he needs attention?? look at how great he looks and how he's not a total slob, thank you. look at him, chicken shop ahjumma
presence 8 - tbh, i don't think there's a place minhwan really wouldn't feel at ease.. no matter where he is, he somehow manages to occupy the space in a way that makes it seem like he's been there about 500 times before and already owns said place by now. if he'd go to a house he's never been before he'd seem just the same as ever, casually draping himself all over the furniture, wandering around like he owns the place with his hands shoved into his pockets casually, etc. it's really hard to make minhwan not feel at ease
presence 9 - IT'D BE RARE CASES as seen above, since it takes a lot to throw minhwan even slightly off. the kind of situations he'd actually show strong emotions in are mostly emergency situations (like if minji/jaejin/sejoon was in any actual lifethreatening danger happening on the spot) and he kind of gets close to it in situations where people show actual care for him since it's weird and he doesn't get it. he'd be baffled after showing any strong emotion too tbh since it weirds even himself out, he usually never does that so he doesn't know how to deal with it?? doesn't understand what those feelings are yet he's feeling them?? he'd just sit there gaping for a while while he's waiting for his heart to stop racing from Sudden Intense Emotions
connections 2 - there's honestly no difference in how minhwan treats most people on an intimate level. he could be just as easily intimate and all up close with someone he's known since he was a child as with someone he literally met five minutes ago since he has no sense of shame and it's difficult for him even to consciously realise he cares enough about certain people that it's different with them. he does act a little different depending on the person he's talking to (see: the difference between how he treats vivi and how he treats sejoon, for example) but it's more since he figures the specific approach is the way to get what he wants out of a person. he might act a little nicer but in a smarmy way if that's what's going to work better, but he'd never be able to act like he's genuinely being super nice and sweet or something, there'd always be that hint of.. minhwan to it. so in the end the undertone is at least always the same across the board no matter who he's dealing with.
connections 3 - he seeks out literally anyone at all who'd pay him attention, but in the end (although he doesn't really realise it himself) only actually grows close to people who give a shit in return. not that minhwan consciously cares if people give a shit, but without realising it, he is really glad for the people who do. even if he's terrible to jaejin on a constant basis and jaejin does the same in return, he's glad his best friend has stuck around with him as long as he has, and even though he freaks out whenever sejoon shows any sign of genuine care he also feels oddly happy. forming bonds based on not just attention leeching is weird, man.
connections 4 - most people don't like minhwan and have good reasons for it since he's... minhwan... he's not too well liked in the school but not in any way that a lot of people actively hate him, but more just that they don't really bother interacting with him since they know how it'll go down with the 590095 rumors about him flying around.
connections 7 - ATTE... NTION..... that's genuinely the thing minhwan wants the most from anyone he interacts with. he's not particularly subtle about it either. like i said, his approach might vary a little depending on whose attention he's going to get, but his thirst for it is usually not pretty subtle.
activities 3 - minhwan doesn't really have many personal hobbies and interests - sure, he plays videogames (especially with jaejin) and reads comics and some small stuff like that, but it doesn't really go as far as a hobby. mostly since minhwan doesn't really care much about activities as much as he cares about people, so he mostly does shit when he can do it together with other people to harass them/get attention from them etc.
the only time ive ever used that icon is when jinseoks daddy brutally tortured him for years on end then let him go free in exchange for his boyfriends freedom
presence 8 - she's most at ease with the people she's comfortable with, so her three friends and later on yeong.. by a long shot, too. it's not like jihye is so afraid of people and social situations that she can't go out by herself at all, but it's definitely never a fun time for her. even when she goes to the supermarket or w/e she tries to avoid eye contact with anyone, keeping her head down, arms close to herself etc. she constantly looks like she's trying to shrink away into the environment. as long as they're not in the middle of the crowd she can be out with them in public and at least display less of that behaviour, if not just completely get rid of it. (although she'll definitely cling to one/all of them, given the chance.) if jihye is freaked out or tense, you can tell, she can't hide it at all.
presence 10 - social situations drain her like woah. hanging out with her friends is already something she's pretty physically tired from by the end of it, and it counts even moreso for interactions with total strangers. tending to her 59959043 plants in her apartment (ok.. slight exaggeration... but there's quite a few) gives her energy and later on when she's more comfortable with momming/noona-ing yeong, that'll give her energy too. fussing over friends makes her feel better since it makes her feel like she can actually do something for them in return.
disposition 2 - despite the fact that she's utterly terrified of people, jihye stills believes deeply in being good to people. so with the few people she dares to do more with than very slight eye contact, she actively tries her best to be good to them by making sure they're alright and helping where she can. unfortunately this also backfires as in if she's in a situation where she just can't do anything to help, she feels useless and like crap bc of it.
disposition 6 - basically there's three ways to go. either jihye stays the way she is now (comfortable with a few and shying away from the rest of the world), she gets worse (retreating into her house and getting groceries delivered to her and hardly ever coming out anymore, which would be her first instinct at Something Really Bad happening) or she gets better. i doubt jihye would ever be able to turn into a true social butterfly, but with the right pushes from the right people she could at least get somewhat better than how she is now, at least enough so that she could like look the cashier in the eye at the supermarket. DARING. I KNOW.
connections 3 - jihye doesn't seek anything out intentionally since she's a scared flower.. changmin just forced her into a friend group but it turned out for the best so hey?? but the kind of bonds jihye enjoys the most are the kinds that make her feel safe, one way or another.
connections 7 - it's kind of complex since jihye is so conflicted about it.. she wants her friends to protect her but at the same time she doesn't want to be That Person forever and wants to get better so she doesn't have to ask them for stuff all the time. LIKE she'd feel terrible asking either changmin/chanyoung/jongsoo to accompany her to the mall, but she'd have fun at the same time going around there with them together. the social anxiety life is hard.
activities 1 - aside from social contact she dislikes loud places and most things that are overwhelming, one way or another. she'd hate rollercoasters and all those thrill rides too, for example. she likes animals bc they're 10000 times easier to deal with than humans, and for that exact reason she likes plants even more since those are even easier to deal with. no plant will ever judge you or be mean to you!!!
WHICH KIND OF LINKS INTO ACTIVITIES 3 - she keeps tons of flowers and plants in her apartment (not crazily so, but there's a lot) and loves tending to them.. she wants to open a flower shop one day, that's totally her dream, but she knows that she wouldn't be able to do so as-is with her social anxiety up the whazoo, she'd die talking to even a single customer. SO that's also a driving force for her to want to get better
presence 2 - haeun herself never takes up much physical space, but all of the stuff that comes with her does. no matter where she goes, she's always followed by two or three bags full of things related to the things she takes care of. if she's studying somewhere at a table in school or working on something then you can bet no one else is going to fit at that table since it's going to be filled with papers and god knows what else everywhere, etc. it's kind of like a cloud of work following her wherever she goes, but at least she's always neat enough to clean everything up and store it away when she's done working on it (for the day).
presence 4 - she isn't tiny, but she's a little under the average. which makes it kind of comical to see her running around with her arms full papers or with a gigantic bag filled to the brim with stuff. combined with the fact that she's pretty humble and doesn't really try to stand out or attract attention consciously, it's likely other people will notice whatever she's working on/carrying/etc. before they see haeun herself. literally disappearing into the work.
connections 2 - haeun is generally a kind person, even if there are a lot of people she only has brief moments of contact with thanks to her always being all over the place doing everything. so she's always nice, but she takes on a clearly more respectful tone in less close relationships. with people she's closer to or just generally spends more time around than five minutes tops, it clearly shifts towards her being a lot more open and dramatic about things - not to mention very physical, since she loves hanging on people or clinging to their arms and just generally being very touchy. but she draws a clear divide between the people she feels like she's allowed to do that with and not.
connections 3 - MOSTLY haeun will talk to anyone, but she does draw a line with people who aren't as nice. haeun is too much of a doormat to fully tell anyone off (she's more likely to just slide out of there or indirectly try to correct their behaviour) so instead she just tries to avoid those types. not that it means those types can't still manipulate her easily into doing stuff if they drive her into a corner, see the doormat thing. haeun herself prefers spending time with nicer people though and she goes absolutely crazy for anyone who's responsible and got their shit together. like, she'll go from normal to SUPER ADMIRATION YOU ARE MY NEW HERO levels in three seconds flat. (she tries to hold back on it. she's not very good at that.)
connections 5 - a social situation is difficult to haeun when it conflicts with what she believes in. the difficulty is never in talking to people, she can do that easily, but it'd be in the fact that she knows a person is kind of fishy and yet they're asking her for a favor.. she'd feel bad turning it down if maybe that person isn't so bad after all, but she'd feel bad doing something for a bad person too??? in the end she'd still do it, but she wouldn't feel too great about it.
activities 1 - haeun actually likes the work she does! although what turns her off from it a little more is the amount of it.. she loves doing it, sure, but she doesn't like pulling allnighters, or missing meals, or not being able to spend time with the people she cares about.. that's the part that sucks about it. she's very much a people person, so i think that's the part that eats away the most at her about all the work she has, even though she's a workaholic.
activities 3 - work is her hobby.. she's practically married to it...
there are a lot of things she'd LIKE to get into, but she just doesn't have the time for it. she's involved with pretty much all the clubs in school and all of them seem fun to her, but she doesn't have the time.. but then again, if she did have the time and not all that work, she'd probably just overload herself by joining 594093 clubs just because they asked. same deal.
activities 5 - haeun is very quick to worry when something goes wrong. it doesn't even have to be something really big - even a small thing can already ruin a day. she has a lot of work to do so she all tries to plan it in as thoroughly as she can, so when one thing goes wrong and wrecks the whole schedule? she just starts panicking and freaking out and maybe crying because what is she going to do now. things not going as planned, basically.
presence 1 - hyoyoung basically balances between two completely different ways of acting - the cutesy act when she's trying to get stuff from someone, when she's completely energetic and chipper and so!! enthusiastic!! about!! everything!! and when that act doesn't work or someone isn't worth her time, she falls back into a mode that's a little more low energy, practically disinterested. lately she's discovered that she's actually a little more energetic in certain situations around certain people though so it kind of becomes a mix of the two.... she thinks it might be called genuinely having fun??? she'll have to get back to you on that one tbh
presence 4 - she's very thin and tiny, almost pixie-like. she knows the kind of implications and connotations that come with having that sort of build and it's exactly part of why she abuses it by acting cutesy on top of it and trying to get what she wants that way. make fun of her being tiny outside of the act though and she'll step on your toes.
presence 5 - hyoyoung does genuinely like pink, and it's a big part of her wardrobe - other bright colors too. even when she's not planning on putting up her act, she'll still wear very popping clothes and lots of acessoires like jewelry or hair accessoires since she really likes all of those even just personally. you practically won't ever see her without rings and bracelets and necklaces and things in her hair, preferably all at the same time, a very busy sort of look. she's also fond of expensive clothes.
presence 11 - her tone completely flunctuates along with what mode she's in. although her volume will always generally be the same (she isn't that loud, her visual with all the bright colors and extras is louder than her voice, honestly), her tone is completely different. her voice drops probably at least an octave when she isn't trying to act all cutesy since her normal voice is not per se super low, but it's on the low side of the average compared to her higher baby-like voice. she's also very prone to speaking in the third person when she's trying to act cutesy, but would never do it when she's not trying to manipulate someone.
presence 12 - yes, tons. her nonverbal communication shifts just as much, because she's very consciously making it part of her act to look cute and lovable in every way possible. which means that she's so used to using body language that it continues when she falls out of the role - rolling her eyes when she's annoyed, frowning, putting her hands on her hips, etc. once she drops all pretenses, she's actually pretty easy to read through it when she's just being herself.
disposition 2 - hyoyoung cares about money. if you'd ask her and if you'd actually get a honest answer from her for whatever reason, she would 100% answer that. what else do you need when you can get money?? can't money buy practically everything for you?? #1 priority as far as she's concerned.
but under that, in a way that's not even really something she always consciously realises, hyoyoung does yearn for a little more than that - she's always just been manipulating people ever since she realised it was a good way to get what she wants, but it's starting to wear out a little to have her entire life just revolve around that. she's starting to want some actual genuine contact with people, but it's hard to admit herself and even harder to realise it's what she wants in the first place.
connections 2 - SO CONNECTING TO THAT THEME... most of hyoyoung's bonds are just.. well, her manipulating people. which she doesn't see as genuine bonds since she's just using those people and isn't even acting like herself and if those people knew what she was really like, they wouldn't give a shit, she's sure of that. then the other group is people she has shown her true self to, openly showing annoyance and other less great qualities about herself. if people don't show any interest in her (or at least, not any positive interest) then she'll keep them at a distance, but if people do show her even just a spark of genuine positive attention, then hyoyoung gets closer to what even she doesn't realise is the most true to herself - aggressively trying to befriend them in the dumbest ways since she has no idea how to work human relationships in any way that doesn't involve fooling them.
connections 3 - KIND OF EXPLAINED UP THERE, but i wanted to add to that that hyoyoung definitely prefers spending time with people who don't believe her act over people who do believe it, no matter what she might claim. people liking her doesn't count when they only like her because of what she's acting like, after all. those kind of bonds are just for what she gets out of it and she doesn't put any personal emotional investment into it.
connections 6 - also all up there.
connections 7 - okay so we know she just plays cutesy to get what she wants from people, but let's talk about when she wants to genuinely befriend someone, since i only briefly touched upon it up there. hyoyoung is very distrustful of people as a whole, believing everyone is bad and manipulates because duh, she's one of those people, she knows the truth. so she hesitates at showing her genuine and vulnerable feelings to anyone - for example, even though she wants jiyong to like her (completely platonically) so badly that it practically makes her chest feel tight at times, she'd never tell him that, instead preferring to tug him on his ear and tell him that he better like her or else!!!! communicating true genuine feelings is hard, so it usually comes out dumb and kind of aggressive instead.
activities 1 - she loves shopping, she likes expensive stuff, she likes stuff in general. hyoyoung is very masterialistic and not afraid to admit that when she's not busy with her cutesy act. the act of getting stuff or owning stuff is quite possibly even more enjoyable than the stuff itself. she likes bright things and colorful things and has an incredible weak spot for cute things that she would kick someone's shins over for making fun of her for it. she dislikes common mundane stuff, boring stuff - hyoyoung would prefer having stuff no one has.
activities 3 - a lot of the stuff is mentioned above like shopping etc.. i think that she also enjoys dancing and karaoke a lot. she's probably entertained the thought of becoming an idol (since, in her eyes, it's just doing what she's doing already on a bigger scale) but she's secretly terrified that they would reject her at the very first audition and that keeps her from trying to go for it at all.
disposition 4 - on the long term? not really, minhwan isn't someone with Big Life Goals or anything like that. but he does have a lot of short term goals, even if most of them involve getting someone to pay him attention one way or another.. and he does fantasize about what it would be like when that would happen. his mind is constantly occupied with if i did thing X, could I get that person to do thing Y?? just thinking about that a lot
disposition 5 - nature, for sure. although it helps that no one has ever really stopped minhwan from getting what he wants, a lot of minhwan's attitude towards life just comes from how he was born. he has always been smart, so he's never had to put much effort into studying or.. anything else, really. he just must've gotten good enough genes that things always went his way, so there was never really any reason for his attitude to change. he was just as much of an attention hog as a kid as he is now. just imagine what jaejin has been putting up with for most of his life now, man.
disposition 6 - i don't think minhwan would get worse.. despite the way he is now, he does have a clear moral line he doesn't bother to cross. it's not like he'd go around killing people, what's the use of that?? so that means either he always stays the way he is now, or he could get.. a little better, i guess? there's never taking the minhwan out of minhwan, so he's always going to have that attitude, but he could start to at least understand other people and empathy a little bit. his empathic abilities are in the negatives right now, and desptie the fact that he genuinely cares about some people, it's hard for him to really understand caring or even just that that's what he's doing. so if he'd learned to understand people's ability to care and all that a little more, he could get better.
not entirely better, mind you, but.. you know, slightly better. as-is minhwan would gladly peck at the worst parts of people, the parts people never want to be confronted with, because he just doesn't get that people can genuinely be hurt. he's never genuinely hurt, so why would anyone else ever be?? if he understood the fact that people can experience problems a little more, he'd at least try to avoid hurting the people he cares about, since he can easily do that now without really thinking about it.
connections 5 - a difficult social situation for minhwan is a situation in which he encounters something he doesn't understand socially speaking. minhwan doesn't understand caring, so if someone showed genuine concern for him, he'd just.. stare at them in confusion, most likely. he seriously wouldn't know what to say or do for once if he was confronted with that, so it's just about the only way to catch him off guard.
thinking 3 - minhwan likes knowing things. i mean, it's pretty obvious from the way he's ALL over other people's secrets and just things that generally aren't his business. knowing makes him feel like he's powerful and in charge - knowing just a little more than someone else gives you a certain kind of power over them, and minhwan loves that. it's why he absorbs knowledge like a sponge and hardly ever has to study. he probably read a lot as a kid whenever he wasn't hanging out with jaejin (considering he never.. had.. other friends..) and that knowledge coupled with how easily he takes in more new information has gotten him to where he is now.
thinking 4 - at his core, minhwan is led by emotions. but his emotions are a little different than most people's - he doesn't really experience the normal ones like sadness or anger or any of that.. they're practically foreign to him. his emotions are mostly amusement and boredom, that's the two he's constantly hanging between. which means that even though he lets his need for attention and amusement guide him, his actions themselves are never very emotional and usually are well thought through by him (see disposition 4) before he does it. the only way you'd get minhwan to act on emotions or instinct would be in some emergency situation. he doesn't think negatively about emotions either and thinks they're worse than intellect, it's just that he doesn't.. feel them at all.. it's hard to have an opinion on something you just don't experience.
thinking 7 - a lot of thoughts and questions are related to disposition 4 up there and get very well satisfied since if minhwan just wonders about something, he goes for it shamelessly to find the answer.. but if minhwan was exposed a little more to people giving a shit (/sejoon in general, let's be real here), he'd start to wonder a little more about.. well, caring. emotions. all that stuff. how do people experience those, how different is it, etc. except that would be a lot harder for him to find out for once.
thinking 8 - THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS A LOT UP THERE... so you already have the answer.
physical 5 - kyungjoo loves normal people clothes. like, to crazy levels. he's always used to wearing more fancy stuff, even half of his wardrobe back at his house is still full of the fancy suits and designer clothes and all and he'll gladly wear those whenever he has to go somewhere with his family, but he's crazy about being able to wear normal people clothes when going out to hang out with haneul or something like that. he loves t-shirts with dumb prints on them, he loves baggy pants, he loves snapbacks, all of it. one habit of the way he's used to dressing that he can't quite seem to give up though even when he's wearing more normal clothes is that he still usually wears earrings. he loves fancy kinds like diamond studs and stuff like that.
physical 8 - i think it's not really situations or places that make kyungjoo stop being at ease. he can easily ease himself into any situation, no matter whether it's just hanging out with a close friend or having to speak in public, he'll do it all with the same lack of hesitation. it's more people's reactions that will make kyungjoo become less at ease. if he's doing something and he can notice people's reactions are negative, that's when he starts to get more nervous. and his body language speaks for him during those occasions: shoulders slumping, his hands starting to fret with things, etc. it's kind of sad to see, honestly.
physical 12 - so yes, he is bodily very expessive! kyungjoo is a very emotional and very overdramatic sort of person, and that's not just with voice only, but his entire body goes along with it. his emotions show up very genuinely and most of the time he lets them. at times he might want to try and hide some (like when he's sad and doesn't want to bother anyone with it) but he sucks at it, it just shows up too easily.
disposition 3 - kyungjoo is very imaginative. super imaginative. it's not like he's just stuck in dream worlds (the way wonjin is) or anything, but he can think up things at the drop of a hat, imagine the weirdest scenarios out of the blue and is great at improvising when he isn't in a slump. he thinks of ridiculous stuff without even having to try, it's how his mouth keeps running so easily. on the other hand, kyungjoo also has a whole ton of selfdoubt and insecurities that are just as strong and he has a hard time hiding it. he's quick to put himself down.
connections 5 - difficult social situations are social situations where people's reactions to him are negative, as said before. that "negative" involves a wide range of reactions though: people being annoyed at him, people ignoring him, people disliking him, etc.. as long as it's a negative emotion, it really affects kyungjoo. but instead of backing down immediately and retreating, he just usually goes on with talking or whatever else he's doing awkwardly and make it worse for him until he really can't take it anymore and just.. literally runs away. cries. either of those two, maybe both at the same time if it's a bad enough situation.
connections 7 - kyungjoo's social standards are.. not very high. honestly, "putting up with him" is enough of a standard by which kyungjoo judges the bonds he's made with other people. if someone is willing to listen to him ramble without looking particularly annoyed or bored with him, he's already pretty glad. so you can only imagine how OVERJOYED that makes him when someone goes further and says they're friends?! actual friends?!?!? HE'S DYING, HIS HEART HAS STOPPED.
activities 1 - kyungjoo likes a lot of things. seriously. i think kyungjoo would have a much, much harder time writing down his dislikes if he had to than his likes.. he could go on forever about the things he likes. he's also never scared to try new things, anything at all can make him excited. DIDGERIDOOS? OH MAN, SOUNDS COOL, HE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT MUSICIAN. he likes having fun, and luckily enough for kyungjoo, his own enthusiasm about most things in life makes it easy to enjoy things.
thinking 6 - he'd really like to become more confident, i think.. other than that he really enjoys life, but all it takes is one negative look from someone else in reaction to him for his whole day or week to be ruined. and he doesn't want that to happen, he wants to be able to take it and continue having fun, but it's very hard for him to deal with any sort of bad thing. he would have no clue how to go about changing it though - hence why he's still like this.
physical 1 - i'd say hyunsoo is generally low energy. not that he's lazy per se, but more just that he doesn't gesture a whole lot when he talks, his way of speaking isn't very animated.. until you get him worked up, that is, and it's like he's been storing up all his energy for those moments, considering he suddenly goes all out then. he wildly gestures with his hands and starts stomping and starts blushing and just.. throws a huge fit. so it probably just kind of depends on who you are? if it's a person who doesn't aggravate hyunsoo in any way, then he's probably pretty low key around them, but the more you piss him off one way or another, the more energy he's going to show around a person.
physical 3 - when he was little, hyunsoo was totally the kind of person to run ahead or at least be in the middle of the group of friends, not afraid to grab attention and just generally have fun. but hyunsoo as he is now isn't like that anymore - he doesn't like being the center of attention since it means there's more opportunities for him to get embarrassed, probably, so he's more the type who hangs back rather than standing in front of the crowd. he's mostly just likely to stick to the side of the person he's attached himself to, yukyun in this case.
physical 12 - VERY bodily expressive. not per se in a high energy way in most cases like i said for 1, but hyunsoo shows his emotions super easily. you can read every single thing he thinks or feels from his body language and facial expression. he sure wishes he could hide it, but he can't - he blushes at the slightest embarrassment, he pouts like a little kid when he's annoyed, etc, etc. there's no hiding emotions for hyunsoo, it's just physically not possible, no matter how much he'd like to hide it.
disposition 3 - hyunsoo is only a very imaginative person when it comes to his fears and insecurities. since he's so genuine and expressive about his emotions (involuntarily so, but still), he doesn't have a very rich inner life compared to that, it all just shows on the outside. so the only things left to stew around in his mind are insecurities and fears, and boy, does he let those rule him. every minor thing that could possibly end badly is blown up to gigantic proportions in his mind and he's mostly very, very paranoid when it comes to the possibility of losing the people he cares about most. or.. person he cares about most at this point, honestly. yukyun displeases someone stronger than him even slightly, what if he gets killed?? someone suddenly seems pretty close with yukyun, what if he'll replace hyunsoo with that person?? it all gets blown up to ridiculous scenarios in his mind.
disposition 5 - nurture, for sure. the way he just can't ever hide how he's feeling is something that hyunsoo has had by nature from ever since he was a little kid, but everything else is something that he's gotten over the years. hyunsoo actually used to be a kid that didn't mind his emotions showed a lot, he just enjoyed life and laughed and had a lot of friends and played soccer and life was great. it was only after his mother died that he had an existential crisis about how the people close to you can just suddenly be gone like that, and it made him slowly start to avoid intimate social contact for a good amount of years. even now he still acts (very poorly so, but still) like he doesn't care about the things he actually does care about, because he hopes that somehow he might be able to convince himself that way that he really doesn't care. and maybe then it won't hurt when he loses the most important things again.
connections 3 - hyunsoo has a strong need for direction in his life, and he's too afraid to look for that direction by himself - which means that he's been looking for someone to take that direction for him. it meant hooking up with noonas (for very, very short periods of time) and hanging out with the wrong crowd (for a similarly short amount of time) in an attempt to find something, or more specifically someone, who could just pull him along so he wouldn't have to think for himself since that terrifies him. he doesn't want to put that effort into life because he knows that it can all come collapsing down again out of the blue and that's scary. really scary. so in comes yukyun who is more than eager to order hyunsoo around and decide everything for him, and hey, that works for him.
... and he likes being annoyed and embarrassed, honestly. don't tell anyone.
connections 6 - like i said, he presents himself as someone who doesn't care. it's not that he's unkind to people per se, but he'll huff if anyone tells him they're friends and get all tsundere etc. hell, he does that even to yukyun who bangs hyunsoo on a regular basis. he's just a boy terrified of making his own decisions and losing what's important covering it up with a not very convincing tough act.
thinking 4 - THIS IS A HARD ONE.. but i think that when it comes down to it, hyunsoo mostly lets instinct and emotions lead him. it's not that he can't think about things, and sometimes he does think about things really well before he does something, but when it comes to the most important situations he lets instinct lead him. like if it was a split second decision between sacrificing himself or watching yukyun die, he'd instinctively sacrifice himself - no logical thought, just his fear of seeing the thing most important to him disappear all over again. it also has to do with the fact that his emotions work quicker than his brain (see: the way he makes a moron out of himself by being unable to hide his emotions in his reactions), and while he can think before he acts in normal situations when he has the time, it works less that way in situations he sees more as an emergency situation. (like attacking yeong even though he knows yeong is useful to yukyun, etc.)
physical 1 - he's very laidback, so there's not a lot of energy in his movements - not in a lazy way, but more just.. calm? he's a little bit slow, but he does talk with hand gestures etc., just in a slower way than more animated people might. he could easily be mistaken for a slob at times because of it coupled with the way he dresses, but there's something a little confident (not in a cocky way though) about the way he carries himself, so it's almost like a weird kind of contradiction. when you get to know him and find out he's just very chill about most things, it starts to make more sense though.
physical 3 - he's not the type who heads in front of everyone, but he's also not the type to stick to the very back - he's the kind of person who's more just in the middle of a group or crowd. it would depend on what kind of group he's with, but if he'd be one of the oldest then he would definitely want to be in the middle since it's the best position to keep track of everyone and make sure they're okay. he's more of a carer than a leader, so to speak. even with peers he'd stay more in the middle of the group to stay in contact with everyone that way without necessarily wanting to really stand out. he's fine just sticking there in the middle, really, it's easier to have contact that way.
physical 4 - height-wise he's about the average for a guy his age, so not super tall or anything. he is pretty slender though, since he doesn't have a lot of fat on him, but also not a lot of muscle either.
physical 8 - he's usually at ease! mostly since it's hard for something to really faze him, he's the type who just takes things as they come and doesn't make a big deal out of them, even in the cases where he probably should at least make a slight deal out of them but doesn't. he's relaxed by himself but also relaxed around people, he's relaxed even in the hospital.. he's pretty chill and it shows in his body language, there's hardly any tension there ever at all. only when Shit Gets Real (like something happening to his little brother or an emergency situation in the hospital) might it start to put him a little less at ease, but it would take quite a bit before he'd get there.
physical 9 - it's super easy to notice when he does experience any strong emotion, considering it's such a contrast with the way he usually acts. he never raises his voice most of the time, it's rather gentle, but when he's freaking out he would definitely start to actually raise it, his body getting more tense, a frantic look in his eyes, etc.. it's probably the only way he displays anything other than his usual just calm and relaxed smile, tbh.
physical 10 - strong emotions drain him, considering he doesn't experience them too often, so when he goes it's like all of that energy going down the sink at once.. but what energizes him is probably people and being around people. even though he doesn't seem energetic around other people per se, he derives a lot of enjoyment and contentment just from talking to people, doing stuff with them, possibly hyunging them if they're younger, etc.
physical 11 - he is vocally expressive! it's just that.. there's not much to express, considering it's usually just chill. but if he's happy, then his smile will work its way into his voice, sure. most of the time his voice is fairly gentle and not too loud.
disposition 2 - his life mostly revolves around a sense of duty that's come from the past. when his parents died, that's when it truly hit him (even as a little kid) that he was all his little brother had now, so that instilled a deep sense of duty when it comes to being the hyung in him. he has to take care of his little brother, make sure he's okay, etc.. because who else is going to do it? over the years it's sort of extended towards other people too, and in the end it made him go for a career choice as a doctor. sure, it's a lot of hard work to try and go for that, but in the end it means he can save lives, which he deeply believes to be a valuable thing. no one deserves to suddenly have a loved one fall out of their life if it can be helped, after all.
disposition 5 - see the above. it's kind of a little bit of both, since most of his personality is something that already formed when he was pretty young, but everything that happened with his parents and him and his little brother becoming orphans only cemented it further.
disposition 6 - THIS ONE IS VERY HARD, TBH.. since i can't really see him change much? it would take a lot for him to be thrown completely off his rocker, i think the only thing that could have a big influence on him at this point is if his little brother died.. and that would just be really sad for everyone to think about so LET'S NOT.
connections 3 - i don't think he really reaches out intentionally to a specific sort of people. he's the type who easily talks to pretty much anyone, so he ends up getting along well with most types, even if he might not form deep friendships with all of them. he probably likes having the variety in his social circles, tbh.
connections 7 - it really depends on age. anyone younger than him gets hyunged no matter what, even if they don't want it.. they can protest all they want, but it's like it doesn't even faze him as he still tells them to dress warm since the flu is going around etc. from people the same age or older than him i think he mostly just likes hanging around with them calmly, doing some small things.. he just likes being with people and enjoying their company.
connections 8 - SHIFTING THIS TO ROMANTICALLY JUST TO TALK ABOUT THAT.. he already views even romantic relationships as a relationship in which he has to take care of the other person, so that's why dating his little brother is not that much of a huge gap to him compared to what he already felt for him. it's that same bond of affection and looking after the other person, just amped up even more.
activities 5 - although it's hard to faze him, genuinely bad situations and genuinely bad people do get to him. in the latter case it's mostly disappointment in said people, but in the first case he tends to blame himself a lot.. like if one of the patients he was helping with died, or if something happened to his little brother he would blame himself even if he had no direct hand in it, since he still feels responsible. if anything can sour his mood and throw him out of his usual chill mindset, it's that.
thinking 4 - he's very much the kind of person who just goes with what feels right. not that he can't think rationally in situations where it's required, but he's just.. not an overthinker at all. he only thinks about stuff briefly and if something feels right to him, then he just decides it's okay, no matter how wrong or weird it might seem to other people (see: incest). led by gut feelings.
thinking 7 - he hardly tends to think about himself, instead a lot of his thoughts and questions are about other people. something he often asks himself is how he can make the other person feel comfortable and happy, etc. he's usually more focused on other people, which means he carelessly forgets to think of himself too from time to time.
thinking 8 - LMFAO THIS FEELS REDUNDANT but it's other people again. since he's often preoccupied with them (see above here), he's very interested in other people's lives. not to the point that he gets super nosy or anything, but he expresses interest and always gladly listens to other people talking about themselves and their life, he actually enjoys listening to that.
3 - grabbing his hair during kissing/makeouts/sex, having an audience during any of those things yet his partner only pays attention to him, saying his name during any of that (v simple need right there)
4 - literally the only turnoff for minhwan ever is not paying attention to him, so anything related to that.. if his partner suddenly called out someone else's name (UNLESS it's a name he recognizes and it's funny and he can harass them forever over it) it'd be the biggest turnoff ever, goodbye, don't think of anyone else while you're right there with him.
5 - CRUSHING IS DIFFICULT FOR MINHWAN.. in the traditional sense of the word, anyway. it's usually more that he's interested in people rather than that he's full on doki crushing on someone, although he's having some Complicated feelings whenever sejoon starts fussing about him.
8 - unless you count his flirting with vivi, not really?? DOES IT COUNT AS CHEATING IF SEJOON IS BANGING TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME, REALLY. although minhwan would 100% cheat on people, but on the other hand, he'd also be really open about the fact he did that, for better or worse. he doesn't get people could genuinely feel hurt over cheating??
10 - he is, and he's.. fairly good at it? despite him being so minhwan-y, minhwan can be pretty flirty and hot when he tries. it's just that it falls flat on his face the moment he starts getting a little too full of himself and it's like slow down, you nerd.
11 - google because he doesn't trust a single one of the people in his life when it comes to that, the search engine is more reliable than that
although tbh he'd come to jaejin for it jokingly without expecting any serious answer.. just bc it'd be hilarious, he's sure.
12 - amusing, attentive (of him), light
light as in not too serious or dramatic he's not going to be no jack painting no french girls
friendship
1 - IT'S JAEJIN YOU BIG NERD
they've been besties ever since they were little and minhwan made bets with jaejin that he could talk some of the other kids on the playground into eating sand from the sandbox. their list of stupid actions together is too long to list at this point.. but they put up with each other somehow since they're at least each other's favourite moron.
4 - amusing most of all, minhwan doesn't want anyone he'd get bored of after a week, got to keep surprising him with new things. he likes people who aren't too serious (or at least not often) too.
(and he likes it when they put up with him but tch clearly they should be glad they even get to do so???)
8 - YEAH TOTALLY.. i mean aside from his general minhwan-ness which some people could still put up with, he can be pretty hurtful sometimes. he doesn't really realise when other people have certain fears or insecurities since he can't even imagine what having those is like, so he can prod pretty badly at those or make unfortunate jokes about them without ever even realising he hurt someone. IT'S NOT EVEN HIM CONSCIOUSLY BEING A SHIT ON PURPOSE, IT'S JUST.. LACKING EMPATHY...
3 - AS A PREFACE this would only give her dokis when someone she already trusted did it, since... contact with strangers, more like just murder her and get it over with tbh...
but she would love someone pulling her close to them protectively, someone patting her head and the third is giving her flowers as a gift.. this would also give her friendship dokis if it was one of the boys doing it considering it's much more likely she'll ever get those than genuine romance dokis with anyone.
5 - no. in fact, she's never even had a legit crush before considering even her dating changmin was not based on any actual romantic attraction at all, she just admired him and was desperate...
7 - she hasn't been. if someone did cheat on her.. it would kind of depend on their reasoning for it, tbh. if it was someoen carelessly cheating, then she wouldn't forgive them, but if someone seemed genuinely apologetic over it, she would. she's a soft flower.
11 - no offense to changmin and jongsoo but she doesn't think sending around dick pics of a partner is her relationship ideal
so she'd probably ask chan.. y.. oung.. that's a terrifying idea
feel honored, power nerd.
friendship
6 - once she's actually comfortable enough with someone to call them a friend, she's comfortable enough for physical contact. patting her head is okay, holding her hand is okay, hooking arms is okay, hugs too.. most of it is, tbh. like, if changmin would put a hand on her boob she would probably scream (unless in a very specific foursome au or something), but as long as it doesn't go that far, she's okay with it with friends.
9 - IT'S KIND OF WEIRD since jihye is kind of the mom friend in that she's very down to earth and is quick to both notice things and actually act on them, aka asking the other if they're okay or offering help if she can do something.. but on the other hand, when it comes to any social situation at all she's the one who needs help instead with super mundane things, like being dragged out of a busy mall. so she's kind of both sides of the medal at ones?
1 - not with someone in her direct surroundings, but i bet she's seen a young politician or other leader type at least once on television and gotten dokis.
.. haeun's idea of what makes someone attractive is kind of.. weird.. i guess..
5 - she's not actively crushing on someone per se, but on the other hand, if someone she admires tons like vivi or sejoon would ask her out she would say yes without hesitation? it's kind of a thin line between thinking someone is amazing and crushing on them with haeun, tbh.
friendship
1 - VIVI IS HER BESTIE AND SHE'S AMAZING. consider vivi?? she's very pretty and graceful and she can cook so well and she'd be the perfect wife but at the same time she's got her life so together despite being so far away from france and VIVI IS THE BEST EVER, SHE'S AN ACTUAL ANGEL AMONG HUMANS.
they met when vivi came over as a transfer student and of course haeun got stuck with the duty of making sure to show her around and coach her through the first weeks and they kind of stuck together ever since.
4 - i don't think haeun needs anything more than the fact that someone is nice, tbh. she gets along with people easily, so she doesn't look for specific qualities herself.. but what friends of her do need to have is patience and just being able to put up with the fact that haeun spends 95% of her life on overworking herself constantly, because i'm sure some people have already given up on being friends with her since she is just never around or never has time to hang out.
6 - definitely! haeun especially loves draping herself on others or just leaning on them, it's nice.. i don't think she has a limit, as long as it's friends doing it, then it's cool with her. that's what friends are for!! it's not gay if it's in a friendship way...
1 - nope. she's faked being in love too many times to count, but she's never really had any personal attachment or even the vaguest feeling of love as she did it.
3 - the kdrama Wristgrab™ (even if she'd kick someone for it afterwards), buying her something without her having asked for it with someone she doesn't have a manipulative relationship with, playing with her hair
4 - anyone who falls for her cutesy act is immediately Out, only being super rude to her without zero sign of caring about her, calling her ugly (and meaning it or just being insistent enough about it one way or another)
7 - she's never been cheated on since she's never been in love, but she'd immediately dump whoever pulled it on her. no forgiveness.
10 - she's very good at it when she's acting, but when she's being herself she's absolutely terrible at acting both on her desire for friendship and her crushes.... she just can't communicate very well. harass people and hit people with her tiny tiny fists until they give in, that's how you win someone over, right??
11 - I.. DON'T EVEN KNOW, OH MY GOD... moonsoo is the same as her so what would she know, and then jiyong is... SHE THINKS HE'D JUST MAKE FUN OF HER... google needs to help her. google, teach her how to form normal relationships.
friendship
1 - nope, no bestie. because she's both terrible at forming genuine friendships and terrible at trusting people enough to call them that.
2 - genuinely? no, she absolutely sucks at it, see some of the points above. she does really want to make friends though, she's just not.. good... at it..
4 - someone who genuinely likes her for who she is and not for what she could be.. someone who doesn't treat her like a precious baby angel like she makes the people who fork over the $$$ do, but at the same time also wouldn't completely treat her like shit.
6 - definite "affectionate". most of the time when she's trying to make friends it's very physical, yes... but... it's more just hitting them and tugging on their ears and trying to get them into headlocks (IT'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE SMALL) and kicking their shins. if she did genuinely trust someone enough though, she'd love to hook arms with them and walk around like that..
5 - he's probably crushing on like 8 girls at the same time. MOONSOO IS ONE OF THEM, YES, IN CASE YOU WANTED TO HEAR THAT. but kyungjoo just thinks girls are so beautiful.. oh god, girls are the best. they're amazing. he writes their names above each other in his notebook at school and draws hearts around them. he writes their names with his last name. he's dokis.
11 - .. he.. he would ask haneul.. you know, the guy who can't deal with girls at all whatsoever? that guy? he'd ask him.
friendship
2 - he's easily friendly with people, at least, but there's always that final step towards friendship that never happens.. it's probably since kyungjoo is a little too present, most people don't have the enormous amount of energy that it'd take in keeping up with him. he's also very embarrassing, which doesn't help either.
4 - someone who will deal with his oddness without calling him out on it (in a joking way is okay though). he'd have a hard time being good friends with any debbie downers too, so some positivity is also a must.
6 - yes!! he and his bestie run at each other dramatically in slow motion across the hallway and then he picks up haneul. it's all very Intense.
he's not going to touch dicks though man HE'S GOT TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE AND IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE IN DICKLAND. THERE'S A FIRM LINE.
1 - YES, HE'S IN LOVE WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER... that's why he's incest hyung.. but on a less obvious note, he's probably been in love with the past too.. idk if he's been in any actual relationships or if it's just been crushes and nothing more, but it's not his first time on this rodeo. it was all very light though, since that's how hyung deals with anything.
3 - cute smiles (shy smiles work too, that counts as cute), obvious wanting to be close to him, he'd probably doki pretty hard if someone tried to comfort him for a change
4 - people who bother and are legitly rude to people who can't or won't do anything in return, someone who'd never let him fuss over him and care for them, ALSO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T GET ALONG WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER WOULD BE OUT LIKE. INSTANTLY.
10 - he's not much of a flirt. it's not that he can't, since he's decent enough when he tries even if it's all very light flirting, but it's just not.. something that naturally comes to him. he's more just very warm and caring than very flirty.
friendship
4 - IT'S HARD.. hyung doesn't really have any standards for this, tbh, as long as people feel like they're fun to hang out with, that's good enough for him.
5 - Family >>>>>> friendship / romance >>>>> self
6 - yes. he's not super over the top handsy or anything, but he likes throwing his arm over his friends' shoulders and sure isn't afraid to do as much.
7 - LMFAO GOD... IT'S NEVER HAPPENED, BUT I COULD HAVE SEEN IT HAPPENING IF INCEST HADN'T HAPPENED?? he just deals with things so lightly and the line between normal affection and romantic affection is so thin for him that if he had a friend who would want that or would be into that and asked him for it, he would just have given in to it. not a big deal to him.
8 - he deals with things lightly, which can be good in some situations.. but with friendship it can also be kind of annoying at times. he's a good person to vent to since he's very caring, sure, but he's not a good person to get solutions to problems from. he thinks too lightly of problems and gives advice that's just... it's not very helpful... he doesn't MEAN for it to be such terrible advice, but he just really doesn't get not everyone deals so lightly with things or their problems.
10 - HMM... it would depend on the exact circumstances, but he'd probably do it. if it was something completely terrible and would hurt a lot of people or maybe just hurt people in general he wouldn't do it, but if the friend seemed desperate or sad enough, he'd want to help.
3 - sudden physical contact he didn't see coming (that isn't.. super violent or something..) works, cute smiles he didn't see coming AKA JUST SURPRISE HIM, complimenting his art
4 - TBH I HAVE A HARD TIME THINKING OF THIS... he might deadpan a lot about how weird and annoying people are, but he honestly doesn't mind it as much as it seems from his words, he's actually pretty chill about most people. i don't think there's much that turns him off.
6 - yes to both. sinjoon might seem like someone who isn't even interested in romance to begin with, but deep inside his artist heart is a desire for an entirely sappy romantic life with a cute wedding and adorable kids. he's probably fantasized about having that with minji when he started falling for her and was mentally like welp... that sure was a thing... i'm sure slowly going insane...
7 - he's never been cheated on since i don't think he's ever had a relationship before.. how it'd be handled would determine whether he'd forgive the person or not, he'd probably just bluntly and flatly tell them that if they aren't interested in him, they can just say it to his face, you know. no hurt feelings, they'll just split up if that's the case, whatever.
9 - nope, he's never even crushed on anyone before the whole thing with minji happened, so it's never had the chance to be unrequited. too busy deadpanning about the school to think about romance, obviously.
friendship
2 - no. which is not really because he can't, but more because he won't. it's not like sinjoon hates being around people, but he's also just very comfortable by himself and just sitting somewhere painting.. he's pretty chill with minimizing his interactions with weirdos as much as he can.. he wouldn't mind befriending some of them, but he sure isn't going out of his way to do it.
6 - not really, he's not a very handsy type with friends. he wouldn't really mind it if friends did it to him (unless it was excessive, do not noogie him, do you see his hair, do you realise what kind of mess it'd be if you'd noogie him), but he wouldn't initiate it himself.
7 - AHAHAHAHAHAHA no. no, he would never. he'd die internally at the thought.
8 - he can kind of be a little too blunt at times with the deadpanning since he's just.. very honest and upfront about some things most people would rather hear a little bit more subtle. so if you don't have thick skin, chances are he'll be a little too blunt and hurt you sooner or later. HE'D APOLOGIZE IF HE SAW IT'D HURT SOMEONE HE CARES ABOUT, BUT.. IT'D STILL HAPPEN..
1 - yes-- she was really genuinely in love with yeong, but she just expected way different things from him than he could give her and it just ended up blowing up in a huge way. he was her first love too, what an ad.. venture...
2 - mostly straight, but i don't think she'd really mind getting together with a girl if there was one she was attracted to, tbh. it's just that she's much more easily attracted to boys.
3 - holding her hand or just holding her in general, most soothing gestures, guys taking the lead even though she'll act like she doesn't like that last one.
6 - SHE DOES, it's just that she's got a long way to go before she'll be very suited for that.. although it'll come with growing up, i'm pretty sure. but having a normal marriage and a house and kids and everything going well and being normal is like life goals for her.
9 - nope. there was the mess with yeong, but that's another beast entirely...
friendship
2 - she easily ties people to her, but she doesn't really make friends. like, subin is pretty popular in school (or at least is before everything with yeong blows up in the end) but it's more just since she's the leader of that popular girls clique you see in every high school that's more of a power ranking than people really sticking together because they're friends and enjoy each other's company.
4 - someone who's comforting. subin is very, very easily agitated and has generally high stress levels and freaks out easily. so having a friend who's more chill and who can make her chill too and soothe her would be perfect.
5 - i'd say all of them are equally important to her.. but that's her problem, since she tried to balance out herself and her future and having to take care of her sickly younger sibling a lot and staying popular and in charge at school and things not going well with yeong and it just.. didn't work that well to try and balance all those things at once and it imploded into her face.
6 - not at all. maybe if she'd have more genuine friends she would really be comfortable with, but otherwise she's not very touchy feely whatsoever.

presence 5 - he's perpetually terrible at buttoning up his school uniform all the way-- not that he has it all hanging open or something but he usually has the few top buttons hanging open. during his spare time he doesn't dress in super expensive clothes, but not clothes that are too shabby either.. like you'd never catch minhwan in a hoodie or something. even if he'd just be going to hang around and bum out with jaejin at some greasy chicken place he'd still dress fairly decently since he needs attention?? look at how great he looks and how he's not a total slob, thank you. look at him, chicken shop ahjumma
presence 8 - tbh, i don't think there's a place minhwan really wouldn't feel at ease.. no matter where he is, he somehow manages to occupy the space in a way that makes it seem like he's been there about 500 times before and already owns said place by now. if he'd go to a house he's never been before he'd seem just the same as ever, casually draping himself all over the furniture, wandering around like he owns the place with his hands shoved into his pockets casually, etc. it's really hard to make minhwan not feel at ease
presence 9 - IT'D BE RARE CASES as seen above, since it takes a lot to throw minhwan even slightly off. the kind of situations he'd actually show strong emotions in are mostly emergency situations (like if minji/jaejin/sejoon was in any actual lifethreatening danger happening on the spot) and he kind of gets close to it in situations where people show actual care for him since it's weird and he doesn't get it. he'd be baffled after showing any strong emotion too tbh since it weirds even himself out, he usually never does that so he doesn't know how to deal with it?? doesn't understand what those feelings are yet he's feeling them?? he'd just sit there gaping for a while while he's waiting for his heart to stop racing from Sudden Intense Emotions
connections 2 - there's honestly no difference in how minhwan treats most people on an intimate level. he could be just as easily intimate and all up close with someone he's known since he was a child as with someone he literally met five minutes ago since he has no sense of shame and it's difficult for him even to consciously realise he cares enough about certain people that it's different with them. he does act a little different depending on the person he's talking to (see: the difference between how he treats vivi and how he treats sejoon, for example) but it's more since he figures the specific approach is the way to get what he wants out of a person. he might act a little nicer but in a smarmy way if that's what's going to work better, but he'd never be able to act like he's genuinely being super nice and sweet or something, there'd always be that hint of.. minhwan to it. so in the end the undertone is at least always the same across the board no matter who he's dealing with.
connections 3 - he seeks out literally anyone at all who'd pay him attention, but in the end (although he doesn't really realise it himself) only actually grows close to people who give a shit in return. not that minhwan consciously cares if people give a shit, but without realising it, he is really glad for the people who do. even if he's terrible to jaejin on a constant basis and jaejin does the same in return, he's glad his best friend has stuck around with him as long as he has, and even though he freaks out whenever sejoon shows any sign of genuine care he also feels oddly happy. forming bonds based on not just attention leeching is weird, man.
connections 4 - most people don't like minhwan and have good reasons for it since he's... minhwan... he's not too well liked in the school but not in any way that a lot of people actively hate him, but more just that they don't really bother interacting with him since they know how it'll go down with the 590095 rumors about him flying around.
connections 7 - ATTE... NTION..... that's genuinely the thing minhwan wants the most from anyone he interacts with. he's not particularly subtle about it either. like i said, his approach might vary a little depending on whose attention he's going to get, but his thirst for it is usually not pretty subtle.
activities 3 - minhwan doesn't really have many personal hobbies and interests - sure, he plays videogames (especially with jaejin) and reads comics and some small stuff like that, but it doesn't really go as far as a hobby. mostly since minhwan doesn't really care much about activities as much as he cares about people, so he mostly does shit when he can do it together with other people to harass them/get attention from them etc.

presence 10 - social situations drain her like woah. hanging out with her friends is already something she's pretty physically tired from by the end of it, and it counts even moreso for interactions with total strangers. tending to her 59959043 plants in her apartment (ok.. slight exaggeration... but there's quite a few) gives her energy and later on when she's more comfortable with momming/noona-ing yeong, that'll give her energy too. fussing over friends makes her feel better since it makes her feel like she can actually do something for them in return.
disposition 2 - despite the fact that she's utterly terrified of people, jihye stills believes deeply in being good to people. so with the few people she dares to do more with than very slight eye contact, she actively tries her best to be good to them by making sure they're alright and helping where she can. unfortunately this also backfires as in if she's in a situation where she just can't do anything to help, she feels useless and like crap bc of it.
disposition 6 - basically there's three ways to go. either jihye stays the way she is now (comfortable with a few and shying away from the rest of the world), she gets worse (retreating into her house and getting groceries delivered to her and hardly ever coming out anymore, which would be her first instinct at Something Really Bad happening) or she gets better. i doubt jihye would ever be able to turn into a true social butterfly, but with the right pushes from the right people she could at least get somewhat better than how she is now, at least enough so that she could like look the cashier in the eye at the supermarket. DARING. I KNOW.
connections 3 - jihye doesn't seek anything out intentionally since she's a scared flower.. changmin just forced her into a friend group but it turned out for the best so hey?? but the kind of bonds jihye enjoys the most are the kinds that make her feel safe, one way or another.
connections 7 - it's kind of complex since jihye is so conflicted about it.. she wants her friends to protect her but at the same time she doesn't want to be That Person forever and wants to get better so she doesn't have to ask them for stuff all the time. LIKE she'd feel terrible asking either changmin/chanyoung/jongsoo to accompany her to the mall, but she'd have fun at the same time going around there with them together. the social anxiety life is hard.
activities 1 - aside from social contact she dislikes loud places and most things that are overwhelming, one way or another. she'd hate rollercoasters and all those thrill rides too, for example. she likes animals bc they're 10000 times easier to deal with than humans, and for that exact reason she likes plants even more since those are even easier to deal with. no plant will ever judge you or be mean to you!!!
WHICH KIND OF LINKS INTO ACTIVITIES 3 - she keeps tons of flowers and plants in her apartment (not crazily so, but there's a lot) and loves tending to them.. she wants to open a flower shop one day, that's totally her dream, but she knows that she wouldn't be able to do so as-is with her social anxiety up the whazoo, she'd die talking to even a single customer. SO that's also a driving force for her to want to get better

presence 4 - she isn't tiny, but she's a little under the average. which makes it kind of comical to see her running around with her arms full papers or with a gigantic bag filled to the brim with stuff. combined with the fact that she's pretty humble and doesn't really try to stand out or attract attention consciously, it's likely other people will notice whatever she's working on/carrying/etc. before they see haeun herself. literally disappearing into the work.
connections 2 - haeun is generally a kind person, even if there are a lot of people she only has brief moments of contact with thanks to her always being all over the place doing everything. so she's always nice, but she takes on a clearly more respectful tone in less close relationships. with people she's closer to or just generally spends more time around than five minutes tops, it clearly shifts towards her being a lot more open and dramatic about things - not to mention very physical, since she loves hanging on people or clinging to their arms and just generally being very touchy. but she draws a clear divide between the people she feels like she's allowed to do that with and not.
connections 3 - MOSTLY haeun will talk to anyone, but she does draw a line with people who aren't as nice. haeun is too much of a doormat to fully tell anyone off (she's more likely to just slide out of there or indirectly try to correct their behaviour) so instead she just tries to avoid those types. not that it means those types can't still manipulate her easily into doing stuff if they drive her into a corner, see the doormat thing. haeun herself prefers spending time with nicer people though and she goes absolutely crazy for anyone who's responsible and got their shit together. like, she'll go from normal to SUPER ADMIRATION YOU ARE MY NEW HERO levels in three seconds flat. (she tries to hold back on it. she's not very good at that.)
connections 5 - a social situation is difficult to haeun when it conflicts with what she believes in. the difficulty is never in talking to people, she can do that easily, but it'd be in the fact that she knows a person is kind of fishy and yet they're asking her for a favor.. she'd feel bad turning it down if maybe that person isn't so bad after all, but she'd feel bad doing something for a bad person too??? in the end she'd still do it, but she wouldn't feel too great about it.
activities 1 - haeun actually likes the work she does! although what turns her off from it a little more is the amount of it.. she loves doing it, sure, but she doesn't like pulling allnighters, or missing meals, or not being able to spend time with the people she cares about.. that's the part that sucks about it. she's very much a people person, so i think that's the part that eats away the most at her about all the work she has, even though she's a workaholic.
activities 3 - work is her hobby.. she's practically married to it...
there are a lot of things she'd LIKE to get into, but she just doesn't have the time for it. she's involved with pretty much all the clubs in school and all of them seem fun to her, but she doesn't have the time.. but then again, if she did have the time and not all that work, she'd probably just overload herself by joining 594093 clubs just because they asked. same deal.
activities 5 - haeun is very quick to worry when something goes wrong. it doesn't even have to be something really big - even a small thing can already ruin a day. she has a lot of work to do so she all tries to plan it in as thoroughly as she can, so when one thing goes wrong and wrecks the whole schedule? she just starts panicking and freaking out and maybe crying because what is she going to do now. things not going as planned, basically.

presence 4 - she's very thin and tiny, almost pixie-like. she knows the kind of implications and connotations that come with having that sort of build and it's exactly part of why she abuses it by acting cutesy on top of it and trying to get what she wants that way. make fun of her being tiny outside of the act though and she'll step on your toes.
presence 5 - hyoyoung does genuinely like pink, and it's a big part of her wardrobe - other bright colors too. even when she's not planning on putting up her act, she'll still wear very popping clothes and lots of acessoires like jewelry or hair accessoires since she really likes all of those even just personally. you practically won't ever see her without rings and bracelets and necklaces and things in her hair, preferably all at the same time, a very busy sort of look. she's also fond of expensive clothes.
presence 11 - her tone completely flunctuates along with what mode she's in. although her volume will always generally be the same (she isn't that loud, her visual with all the bright colors and extras is louder than her voice, honestly), her tone is completely different. her voice drops probably at least an octave when she isn't trying to act all cutesy since her normal voice is not per se super low, but it's on the low side of the average compared to her higher baby-like voice. she's also very prone to speaking in the third person when she's trying to act cutesy, but would never do it when she's not trying to manipulate someone.
presence 12 - yes, tons. her nonverbal communication shifts just as much, because she's very consciously making it part of her act to look cute and lovable in every way possible. which means that she's so used to using body language that it continues when she falls out of the role - rolling her eyes when she's annoyed, frowning, putting her hands on her hips, etc. once she drops all pretenses, she's actually pretty easy to read through it when she's just being herself.
disposition 2 - hyoyoung cares about money. if you'd ask her and if you'd actually get a honest answer from her for whatever reason, she would 100% answer that. what else do you need when you can get money?? can't money buy practically everything for you?? #1 priority as far as she's concerned.
but under that, in a way that's not even really something she always consciously realises, hyoyoung does yearn for a little more than that - she's always just been manipulating people ever since she realised it was a good way to get what she wants, but it's starting to wear out a little to have her entire life just revolve around that. she's starting to want some actual genuine contact with people, but it's hard to admit herself and even harder to realise it's what she wants in the first place.
connections 2 - SO CONNECTING TO THAT THEME... most of hyoyoung's bonds are just.. well, her manipulating people. which she doesn't see as genuine bonds since she's just using those people and isn't even acting like herself and if those people knew what she was really like, they wouldn't give a shit, she's sure of that. then the other group is people she has shown her true self to, openly showing annoyance and other less great qualities about herself. if people don't show any interest in her (or at least, not any positive interest) then she'll keep them at a distance, but if people do show her even just a spark of genuine positive attention, then hyoyoung gets closer to what even she doesn't realise is the most true to herself - aggressively trying to befriend them in the dumbest ways since she has no idea how to work human relationships in any way that doesn't involve fooling them.
connections 3 - KIND OF EXPLAINED UP THERE, but i wanted to add to that that hyoyoung definitely prefers spending time with people who don't believe her act over people who do believe it, no matter what she might claim. people liking her doesn't count when they only like her because of what she's acting like, after all. those kind of bonds are just for what she gets out of it and she doesn't put any personal emotional investment into it.
connections 6 - also all up there.
connections 7 - okay so we know she just plays cutesy to get what she wants from people, but let's talk about when she wants to genuinely befriend someone, since i only briefly touched upon it up there. hyoyoung is very distrustful of people as a whole, believing everyone is bad and manipulates because duh, she's one of those people, she knows the truth. so she hesitates at showing her genuine and vulnerable feelings to anyone - for example, even though she wants jiyong to like her (completely platonically) so badly that it practically makes her chest feel tight at times, she'd never tell him that, instead preferring to tug him on his ear and tell him that he better like her or else!!!! communicating true genuine feelings is hard, so it usually comes out dumb and kind of aggressive instead.
activities 1 - she loves shopping, she likes expensive stuff, she likes stuff in general. hyoyoung is very masterialistic and not afraid to admit that when she's not busy with her cutesy act. the act of getting stuff or owning stuff is quite possibly even more enjoyable than the stuff itself. she likes bright things and colorful things and has an incredible weak spot for cute things that she would kick someone's shins over for making fun of her for it. she dislikes common mundane stuff, boring stuff - hyoyoung would prefer having stuff no one has.
activities 3 - a lot of the stuff is mentioned above like shopping etc.. i think that she also enjoys dancing and karaoke a lot. she's probably entertained the thought of becoming an idol (since, in her eyes, it's just doing what she's doing already on a bigger scale) but she's secretly terrified that they would reject her at the very first audition and that keeps her from trying to go for it at all.

disposition 5 - nature, for sure. although it helps that no one has ever really stopped minhwan from getting what he wants, a lot of minhwan's attitude towards life just comes from how he was born. he has always been smart, so he's never had to put much effort into studying or.. anything else, really. he just must've gotten good enough genes that things always went his way, so there was never really any reason for his attitude to change. he was just as much of an attention hog as a kid as he is now. just imagine what jaejin has been putting up with for most of his life now, man.
disposition 6 - i don't think minhwan would get worse.. despite the way he is now, he does have a clear moral line he doesn't bother to cross. it's not like he'd go around killing people, what's the use of that?? so that means either he always stays the way he is now, or he could get.. a little better, i guess? there's never taking the minhwan out of minhwan, so he's always going to have that attitude, but he could start to at least understand other people and empathy a little bit. his empathic abilities are in the negatives right now, and desptie the fact that he genuinely cares about some people, it's hard for him to really understand caring or even just that that's what he's doing. so if he'd learned to understand people's ability to care and all that a little more, he could get better.
not entirely better, mind you, but.. you know, slightly better. as-is minhwan would gladly peck at the worst parts of people, the parts people never want to be confronted with, because he just doesn't get that people can genuinely be hurt. he's never genuinely hurt, so why would anyone else ever be?? if he understood the fact that people can experience problems a little more, he'd at least try to avoid hurting the people he cares about, since he can easily do that now without really thinking about it.
connections 5 - a difficult social situation for minhwan is a situation in which he encounters something he doesn't understand socially speaking. minhwan doesn't understand caring, so if someone showed genuine concern for him, he'd just.. stare at them in confusion, most likely. he seriously wouldn't know what to say or do for once if he was confronted with that, so it's just about the only way to catch him off guard.
thinking 3 - minhwan likes knowing things. i mean, it's pretty obvious from the way he's ALL over other people's secrets and just things that generally aren't his business. knowing makes him feel like he's powerful and in charge - knowing just a little more than someone else gives you a certain kind of power over them, and minhwan loves that. it's why he absorbs knowledge like a sponge and hardly ever has to study. he probably read a lot as a kid whenever he wasn't hanging out with jaejin (considering he never.. had.. other friends..) and that knowledge coupled with how easily he takes in more new information has gotten him to where he is now.
thinking 4 - at his core, minhwan is led by emotions. but his emotions are a little different than most people's - he doesn't really experience the normal ones like sadness or anger or any of that.. they're practically foreign to him. his emotions are mostly amusement and boredom, that's the two he's constantly hanging between. which means that even though he lets his need for attention and amusement guide him, his actions themselves are never very emotional and usually are well thought through by him (see disposition 4) before he does it. the only way you'd get minhwan to act on emotions or instinct would be in some emergency situation. he doesn't think negatively about emotions either and thinks they're worse than intellect, it's just that he doesn't.. feel them at all.. it's hard to have an opinion on something you just don't experience.
thinking 7 - a lot of thoughts and questions are related to disposition 4 up there and get very well satisfied since if minhwan just wonders about something, he goes for it shamelessly to find the answer.. but if minhwan was exposed a little more to people giving a shit (/sejoon in general, let's be real here), he'd start to wonder a little more about.. well, caring. emotions. all that stuff. how do people experience those, how different is it, etc. except that would be a lot harder for him to find out for once.
thinking 8 - THIS IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS A LOT UP THERE... so you already have the answer.

physical 8 - i think it's not really situations or places that make kyungjoo stop being at ease. he can easily ease himself into any situation, no matter whether it's just hanging out with a close friend or having to speak in public, he'll do it all with the same lack of hesitation. it's more people's reactions that will make kyungjoo become less at ease. if he's doing something and he can notice people's reactions are negative, that's when he starts to get more nervous. and his body language speaks for him during those occasions: shoulders slumping, his hands starting to fret with things, etc. it's kind of sad to see, honestly.
physical 12 - so yes, he is bodily very expessive! kyungjoo is a very emotional and very overdramatic sort of person, and that's not just with voice only, but his entire body goes along with it. his emotions show up very genuinely and most of the time he lets them. at times he might want to try and hide some (like when he's sad and doesn't want to bother anyone with it) but he sucks at it, it just shows up too easily.
disposition 3 - kyungjoo is very imaginative. super imaginative. it's not like he's just stuck in dream worlds (the way wonjin is) or anything, but he can think up things at the drop of a hat, imagine the weirdest scenarios out of the blue and is great at improvising when he isn't in a slump. he thinks of ridiculous stuff without even having to try, it's how his mouth keeps running so easily. on the other hand, kyungjoo also has a whole ton of selfdoubt and insecurities that are just as strong and he has a hard time hiding it. he's quick to put himself down.
connections 5 - difficult social situations are social situations where people's reactions to him are negative, as said before. that "negative" involves a wide range of reactions though: people being annoyed at him, people ignoring him, people disliking him, etc.. as long as it's a negative emotion, it really affects kyungjoo. but instead of backing down immediately and retreating, he just usually goes on with talking or whatever else he's doing awkwardly and make it worse for him until he really can't take it anymore and just.. literally runs away. cries. either of those two, maybe both at the same time if it's a bad enough situation.
connections 7 - kyungjoo's social standards are.. not very high. honestly, "putting up with him" is enough of a standard by which kyungjoo judges the bonds he's made with other people. if someone is willing to listen to him ramble without looking particularly annoyed or bored with him, he's already pretty glad. so you can only imagine how OVERJOYED that makes him when someone goes further and says they're friends?! actual friends?!?!? HE'S DYING, HIS HEART HAS STOPPED.
activities 1 - kyungjoo likes a lot of things. seriously. i think kyungjoo would have a much, much harder time writing down his dislikes if he had to than his likes.. he could go on forever about the things he likes. he's also never scared to try new things, anything at all can make him excited. DIDGERIDOOS? OH MAN, SOUNDS COOL, HE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT MUSICIAN. he likes having fun, and luckily enough for kyungjoo, his own enthusiasm about most things in life makes it easy to enjoy things.
thinking 6 - he'd really like to become more confident, i think.. other than that he really enjoys life, but all it takes is one negative look from someone else in reaction to him for his whole day or week to be ruined. and he doesn't want that to happen, he wants to be able to take it and continue having fun, but it's very hard for him to deal with any sort of bad thing. he would have no clue how to go about changing it though - hence why he's still like this.

physical 3 - when he was little, hyunsoo was totally the kind of person to run ahead or at least be in the middle of the group of friends, not afraid to grab attention and just generally have fun. but hyunsoo as he is now isn't like that anymore - he doesn't like being the center of attention since it means there's more opportunities for him to get embarrassed, probably, so he's more the type who hangs back rather than standing in front of the crowd. he's mostly just likely to stick to the side of the person he's attached himself to, yukyun in this case.
physical 12 - VERY bodily expressive. not per se in a high energy way in most cases like i said for 1, but hyunsoo shows his emotions super easily. you can read every single thing he thinks or feels from his body language and facial expression. he sure wishes he could hide it, but he can't - he blushes at the slightest embarrassment, he pouts like a little kid when he's annoyed, etc, etc. there's no hiding emotions for hyunsoo, it's just physically not possible, no matter how much he'd like to hide it.
disposition 3 - hyunsoo is only a very imaginative person when it comes to his fears and insecurities. since he's so genuine and expressive about his emotions (involuntarily so, but still), he doesn't have a very rich inner life compared to that, it all just shows on the outside. so the only things left to stew around in his mind are insecurities and fears, and boy, does he let those rule him. every minor thing that could possibly end badly is blown up to gigantic proportions in his mind and he's mostly very, very paranoid when it comes to the possibility of losing the people he cares about most. or.. person he cares about most at this point, honestly. yukyun displeases someone stronger than him even slightly, what if he gets killed?? someone suddenly seems pretty close with yukyun, what if he'll replace hyunsoo with that person?? it all gets blown up to ridiculous scenarios in his mind.
disposition 5 - nurture, for sure. the way he just can't ever hide how he's feeling is something that hyunsoo has had by nature from ever since he was a little kid, but everything else is something that he's gotten over the years. hyunsoo actually used to be a kid that didn't mind his emotions showed a lot, he just enjoyed life and laughed and had a lot of friends and played soccer and life was great. it was only after his mother died that he had an existential crisis about how the people close to you can just suddenly be gone like that, and it made him slowly start to avoid intimate social contact for a good amount of years. even now he still acts (very poorly so, but still) like he doesn't care about the things he actually does care about, because he hopes that somehow he might be able to convince himself that way that he really doesn't care. and maybe then it won't hurt when he loses the most important things again.
connections 3 - hyunsoo has a strong need for direction in his life, and he's too afraid to look for that direction by himself - which means that he's been looking for someone to take that direction for him. it meant hooking up with noonas (for very, very short periods of time) and hanging out with the wrong crowd (for a similarly short amount of time) in an attempt to find something, or more specifically someone, who could just pull him along so he wouldn't have to think for himself since that terrifies him. he doesn't want to put that effort into life because he knows that it can all come collapsing down again out of the blue and that's scary. really scary. so in comes yukyun who is more than eager to order hyunsoo around and decide everything for him, and hey, that works for him.
... and he likes being annoyed and embarrassed, honestly. don't tell anyone.
connections 6 - like i said, he presents himself as someone who doesn't care. it's not that he's unkind to people per se, but he'll huff if anyone tells him they're friends and get all tsundere etc. hell, he does that even to yukyun who bangs hyunsoo on a regular basis. he's just a boy terrified of making his own decisions and losing what's important covering it up with a not very convincing tough act.
thinking 4 - THIS IS A HARD ONE.. but i think that when it comes down to it, hyunsoo mostly lets instinct and emotions lead him. it's not that he can't think about things, and sometimes he does think about things really well before he does something, but when it comes to the most important situations he lets instinct lead him. like if it was a split second decision between sacrificing himself or watching yukyun die, he'd instinctively sacrifice himself - no logical thought, just his fear of seeing the thing most important to him disappear all over again. it also has to do with the fact that his emotions work quicker than his brain (see: the way he makes a moron out of himself by being unable to hide his emotions in his reactions), and while he can think before he acts in normal situations when he has the time, it works less that way in situations he sees more as an emergency situation. (like attacking yeong even though he knows yeong is useful to yukyun, etc.)
So much hyung...forgive me
no subject
physical 1 - he's very laidback, so there's not a lot of energy in his movements - not in a lazy way, but more just.. calm? he's a little bit slow, but he does talk with hand gestures etc., just in a slower way than more animated people might. he could easily be mistaken for a slob at times because of it coupled with the way he dresses, but there's something a little confident (not in a cocky way though) about the way he carries himself, so it's almost like a weird kind of contradiction. when you get to know him and find out he's just very chill about most things, it starts to make more sense though.
physical 3 - he's not the type who heads in front of everyone, but he's also not the type to stick to the very back - he's the kind of person who's more just in the middle of a group or crowd. it would depend on what kind of group he's with, but if he'd be one of the oldest then he would definitely want to be in the middle since it's the best position to keep track of everyone and make sure they're okay. he's more of a carer than a leader, so to speak. even with peers he'd stay more in the middle of the group to stay in contact with everyone that way without necessarily wanting to really stand out. he's fine just sticking there in the middle, really, it's easier to have contact that way.
physical 4 - height-wise he's about the average for a guy his age, so not super tall or anything. he is pretty slender though, since he doesn't have a lot of fat on him, but also not a lot of muscle either.
physical 8 - he's usually at ease! mostly since it's hard for something to really faze him, he's the type who just takes things as they come and doesn't make a big deal out of them, even in the cases where he probably should at least make a slight deal out of them but doesn't. he's relaxed by himself but also relaxed around people, he's relaxed even in the hospital.. he's pretty chill and it shows in his body language, there's hardly any tension there ever at all. only when Shit Gets Real (like something happening to his little brother or an emergency situation in the hospital) might it start to put him a little less at ease, but it would take quite a bit before he'd get there.
physical 9 - it's super easy to notice when he does experience any strong emotion, considering it's such a contrast with the way he usually acts. he never raises his voice most of the time, it's rather gentle, but when he's freaking out he would definitely start to actually raise it, his body getting more tense, a frantic look in his eyes, etc.. it's probably the only way he displays anything other than his usual just calm and relaxed smile, tbh.
physical 10 - strong emotions drain him, considering he doesn't experience them too often, so when he goes it's like all of that energy going down the sink at once.. but what energizes him is probably people and being around people. even though he doesn't seem energetic around other people per se, he derives a lot of enjoyment and contentment just from talking to people, doing stuff with them, possibly hyunging them if they're younger, etc.
physical 11 - he is vocally expressive! it's just that.. there's not much to express, considering it's usually just chill. but if he's happy, then his smile will work its way into his voice, sure. most of the time his voice is fairly gentle and not too loud.
disposition 2 - his life mostly revolves around a sense of duty that's come from the past. when his parents died, that's when it truly hit him (even as a little kid) that he was all his little brother had now, so that instilled a deep sense of duty when it comes to being the hyung in him. he has to take care of his little brother, make sure he's okay, etc.. because who else is going to do it? over the years it's sort of extended towards other people too, and in the end it made him go for a career choice as a doctor. sure, it's a lot of hard work to try and go for that, but in the end it means he can save lives, which he deeply believes to be a valuable thing. no one deserves to suddenly have a loved one fall out of their life if it can be helped, after all.
disposition 5 - see the above. it's kind of a little bit of both, since most of his personality is something that already formed when he was pretty young, but everything that happened with his parents and him and his little brother becoming orphans only cemented it further.
disposition 6 - THIS ONE IS VERY HARD, TBH.. since i can't really see him change much? it would take a lot for him to be thrown completely off his rocker, i think the only thing that could have a big influence on him at this point is if his little brother died.. and that would just be really sad for everyone to think about so LET'S NOT.
connections 3 - i don't think he really reaches out intentionally to a specific sort of people. he's the type who easily talks to pretty much anyone, so he ends up getting along well with most types, even if he might not form deep friendships with all of them. he probably likes having the variety in his social circles, tbh.
connections 7 - it really depends on age. anyone younger than him gets hyunged no matter what, even if they don't want it.. they can protest all they want, but it's like it doesn't even faze him as he still tells them to dress warm since the flu is going around etc. from people the same age or older than him i think he mostly just likes hanging around with them calmly, doing some small things.. he just likes being with people and enjoying their company.
connections 8 - SHIFTING THIS TO ROMANTICALLY JUST TO TALK ABOUT THAT.. he already views even romantic relationships as a relationship in which he has to take care of the other person, so that's why dating his little brother is not that much of a huge gap to him compared to what he already felt for him. it's that same bond of affection and looking after the other person, just amped up even more.
activities 5 - although it's hard to faze him, genuinely bad situations and genuinely bad people do get to him. in the latter case it's mostly disappointment in said people, but in the first case he tends to blame himself a lot.. like if one of the patients he was helping with died, or if something happened to his little brother he would blame himself even if he had no direct hand in it, since he still feels responsible. if anything can sour his mood and throw him out of his usual chill mindset, it's that.
thinking 4 - he's very much the kind of person who just goes with what feels right. not that he can't think rationally in situations where it's required, but he's just.. not an overthinker at all. he only thinks about stuff briefly and if something feels right to him, then he just decides it's okay, no matter how wrong or weird it might seem to other people (see: incest). led by gut feelings.
thinking 7 - he hardly tends to think about himself, instead a lot of his thoughts and questions are about other people. something he often asks himself is how he can make the other person feel comfortable and happy, etc. he's usually more focused on other people, which means he carelessly forgets to think of himself too from time to time.
thinking 8 - LMFAO THIS FEELS REDUNDANT but it's other people again. since he's often preoccupied with them (see above here), he's very interested in other people's lives. not to the point that he gets super nosy or anything, but he expresses interest and always gladly listens to other people talking about themselves and their life, he actually enjoys listening to that.

3 - grabbing his hair during kissing/makeouts/sex, having an audience during any of those things yet his partner only pays attention to him, saying his name during any of that (v simple need right there)
4 - literally the only turnoff for minhwan ever is not paying attention to him, so anything related to that.. if his partner suddenly called out someone else's name (UNLESS it's a name he recognizes and it's funny and he can harass them forever over it) it'd be the biggest turnoff ever, goodbye, don't think of anyone else while you're right there with him.
5 - CRUSHING IS DIFFICULT FOR MINHWAN.. in the traditional sense of the word, anyway. it's usually more that he's interested in people rather than that he's full on doki crushing on someone, although he's having some Complicated feelings whenever sejoon starts fussing about him.
8 - unless you count his flirting with vivi, not really?? DOES IT COUNT AS CHEATING IF SEJOON IS BANGING TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME, REALLY. although minhwan would 100% cheat on people, but on the other hand, he'd also be really open about the fact he did that, for better or worse. he doesn't get people could genuinely feel hurt over cheating??
10 - he is, and he's.. fairly good at it? despite him being so minhwan-y, minhwan can be pretty flirty and hot when he tries. it's just that it falls flat on his face the moment he starts getting a little too full of himself and it's like slow down, you nerd.
11 - google because he doesn't trust a single one of the people in his life when it comes to that, the search engine is more reliable than that
although tbh he'd come to jaejin for it jokingly without expecting any serious answer.. just bc it'd be hilarious, he's sure.
12 - amusing, attentive (of him), light
light as in not too serious or dramatic he's not going to be no jack painting no french girls
friendship
1 - IT'S JAEJIN YOU BIG NERD
they've been besties ever since they were little and minhwan made bets with jaejin that he could talk some of the other kids on the playground into eating sand from the sandbox. their list of stupid actions together is too long to list at this point.. but they put up with each other somehow since they're at least each other's favourite moron.
4 - amusing most of all, minhwan doesn't want anyone he'd get bored of after a week, got to keep surprising him with new things. he likes people who aren't too serious (or at least not often) too.
(and he likes it when they put up with him but tch clearly they should be glad they even get to do so???)
8 - YEAH TOTALLY.. i mean aside from his general minhwan-ness which some people could still put up with, he can be pretty hurtful sometimes. he doesn't really realise when other people have certain fears or insecurities since he can't even imagine what having those is like, so he can prod pretty badly at those or make unfortunate jokes about them without ever even realising he hurt someone. IT'S NOT EVEN HIM CONSCIOUSLY BEING A SHIT ON PURPOSE, IT'S JUST.. LACKING EMPATHY...

3 - AS A PREFACE this would only give her dokis when someone she already trusted did it, since... contact with strangers, more like just murder her and get it over with tbh...
but she would love someone pulling her close to them protectively, someone patting her head and the third is giving her flowers as a gift.. this would also give her friendship dokis if it was one of the boys doing it considering it's much more likely she'll ever get those than genuine romance dokis with anyone.
5 - no. in fact, she's never even had a legit crush before considering even her dating changmin was not based on any actual romantic attraction at all, she just admired him and was desperate...
7 - she hasn't been. if someone did cheat on her.. it would kind of depend on their reasoning for it, tbh. if it was someoen carelessly cheating, then she wouldn't forgive them, but if someone seemed genuinely apologetic over it, she would. she's a soft flower.
11 - no offense to changmin and jongsoo but she doesn't think sending around dick pics of a partner is her relationship ideal
so she'd probably ask chan.. y.. oung.. that's a terrifying idea
feel honored, power nerd.
friendship
6 - once she's actually comfortable enough with someone to call them a friend, she's comfortable enough for physical contact. patting her head is okay, holding her hand is okay, hooking arms is okay, hugs too.. most of it is, tbh. like, if changmin would put a hand on her boob she would probably scream (unless in a very specific foursome au or something), but as long as it doesn't go that far, she's okay with it with friends.
9 - IT'S KIND OF WEIRD since jihye is kind of the mom friend in that she's very down to earth and is quick to both notice things and actually act on them, aka asking the other if they're okay or offering help if she can do something.. but on the other hand, when it comes to any social situation at all she's the one who needs help instead with super mundane things, like being dragged out of a busy mall. so she's kind of both sides of the medal at ones?

1 - not with someone in her direct surroundings, but i bet she's seen a young politician or other leader type at least once on television and gotten dokis.
.. haeun's idea of what makes someone attractive is kind of.. weird.. i guess..
5 - she's not actively crushing on someone per se, but on the other hand, if someone she admires tons like vivi or sejoon would ask her out she would say yes without hesitation? it's kind of a thin line between thinking someone is amazing and crushing on them with haeun, tbh.
friendship
1 - VIVI IS HER BESTIE AND SHE'S AMAZING. consider vivi?? she's very pretty and graceful and she can cook so well and she'd be the perfect wife but at the same time she's got her life so together despite being so far away from france and VIVI IS THE BEST EVER, SHE'S AN ACTUAL ANGEL AMONG HUMANS.
they met when vivi came over as a transfer student and of course haeun got stuck with the duty of making sure to show her around and coach her through the first weeks and they kind of stuck together ever since.
4 - i don't think haeun needs anything more than the fact that someone is nice, tbh. she gets along with people easily, so she doesn't look for specific qualities herself.. but what friends of her do need to have is patience and just being able to put up with the fact that haeun spends 95% of her life on overworking herself constantly, because i'm sure some people have already given up on being friends with her since she is just never around or never has time to hang out.
6 - definitely! haeun especially loves draping herself on others or just leaning on them, it's nice.. i don't think she has a limit, as long as it's friends doing it, then it's cool with her. that's what friends are for!! it's not gay if it's in a friendship way...
12 - helpful (!!!), kind/supportive, absent
no subject
no subject
1 - nope. she's faked being in love too many times to count, but she's never really had any personal attachment or even the vaguest feeling of love as she did it.
3 - the kdrama Wristgrab™ (even if she'd kick someone for it afterwards), buying her something without her having asked for it with someone she doesn't have a manipulative relationship with, playing with her hair
4 - anyone who falls for her cutesy act is immediately Out, only being super rude to her without zero sign of caring about her, calling her ugly (and meaning it or just being insistent enough about it one way or another)
7 - she's never been cheated on since she's never been in love, but she'd immediately dump whoever pulled it on her. no forgiveness.
10 - she's very good at it when she's acting, but when she's being herself she's absolutely terrible at acting both on her desire for friendship and her crushes.... she just can't communicate very well. harass people and hit people with her tiny tiny fists until they give in, that's how you win someone over, right??
11 - I.. DON'T EVEN KNOW, OH MY GOD... moonsoo is the same as her so what would she know, and then jiyong is... SHE THINKS HE'D JUST MAKE FUN OF HER... google needs to help her. google, teach her how to form normal relationships.
friendship
1 - nope, no bestie. because she's both terrible at forming genuine friendships and terrible at trusting people enough to call them that.
2 - genuinely? no, she absolutely sucks at it, see some of the points above. she does really want to make friends though, she's just not.. good... at it..
4 - someone who genuinely likes her for who she is and not for what she could be.. someone who doesn't treat her like a precious baby angel like she makes the people who fork over the $$$ do, but at the same time also wouldn't completely treat her like shit.
6 - definite "affectionate". most of the time when she's trying to make friends it's very physical, yes... but... it's more just hitting them and tugging on their ears and trying to get them into headlocks (IT'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE SMALL) and kicking their shins. if she did genuinely trust someone enough though, she'd love to hook arms with them and walk around like that..

romance
5 - he's probably crushing on like 8 girls at the same time. MOONSOO IS ONE OF THEM, YES, IN CASE YOU WANTED TO HEAR THAT. but kyungjoo just thinks girls are so beautiful.. oh god, girls are the best. they're amazing. he writes their names above each other in his notebook at school and draws hearts around them. he writes their names with his last name. he's dokis.
11 - .. he.. he would ask haneul.. you know, the guy who can't deal with girls at all whatsoever? that guy? he'd ask him.
friendship
2 - he's easily friendly with people, at least, but there's always that final step towards friendship that never happens.. it's probably since kyungjoo is a little too present, most people don't have the enormous amount of energy that it'd take in keeping up with him. he's also very embarrassing, which doesn't help either.
4 - someone who will deal with his oddness without calling him out on it (in a joking way is okay though). he'd have a hard time being good friends with any debbie downers too, so some positivity is also a must.
6 - yes!! he and his bestie run at each other dramatically in slow motion across the hallway and then he picks up haneul. it's all very Intense.
he's not going to touch dicks though man HE'S GOT TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE AND IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE IN DICKLAND. THERE'S A FIRM LINE.
IM BAAAACK

romance
1 - YES, HE'S IN LOVE WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER... that's why he's incest hyung.. but on a less obvious note, he's probably been in love with the past too.. idk if he's been in any actual relationships or if it's just been crushes and nothing more, but it's not his first time on this rodeo. it was all very light though, since that's how hyung deals with anything.
3 - cute smiles (shy smiles work too, that counts as cute), obvious wanting to be close to him, he'd probably doki pretty hard if someone tried to comfort him for a change
4 - people who bother and are legitly rude to people who can't or won't do anything in return, someone who'd never let him fuss over him and care for them, ALSO PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T GET ALONG WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER WOULD BE OUT LIKE. INSTANTLY.
10 - he's not much of a flirt. it's not that he can't, since he's decent enough when he tries even if it's all very light flirting, but it's just not.. something that naturally comes to him. he's more just very warm and caring than very flirty.
friendship
4 - IT'S HARD.. hyung doesn't really have any standards for this, tbh, as long as people feel like they're fun to hang out with, that's good enough for him.
5 - Family >>>>>> friendship / romance >>>>> self
6 - yes. he's not super over the top handsy or anything, but he likes throwing his arm over his friends' shoulders and sure isn't afraid to do as much.
7 - LMFAO GOD... IT'S NEVER HAPPENED, BUT I COULD HAVE SEEN IT HAPPENING IF INCEST HADN'T HAPPENED?? he just deals with things so lightly and the line between normal affection and romantic affection is so thin for him that if he had a friend who would want that or would be into that and asked him for it, he would just have given in to it. not a big deal to him.
8 - he deals with things lightly, which can be good in some situations.. but with friendship it can also be kind of annoying at times. he's a good person to vent to since he's very caring, sure, but he's not a good person to get solutions to problems from. he thinks too lightly of problems and gives advice that's just... it's not very helpful... he doesn't MEAN for it to be such terrible advice, but he just really doesn't get not everyone deals so lightly with things or their problems.
10 - HMM... it would depend on the exact circumstances, but he'd probably do it. if it was something completely terrible and would hurt a lot of people or maybe just hurt people in general he wouldn't do it, but if the friend seemed desperate or sad enough, he'd want to help.

3 - sudden physical contact he didn't see coming (that isn't.. super violent or something..) works, cute smiles he didn't see coming AKA JUST SURPRISE HIM, complimenting his art
4 - TBH I HAVE A HARD TIME THINKING OF THIS... he might deadpan a lot about how weird and annoying people are, but he honestly doesn't mind it as much as it seems from his words, he's actually pretty chill about most people. i don't think there's much that turns him off.
6 - yes to both. sinjoon might seem like someone who isn't even interested in romance to begin with, but deep inside his artist heart is a desire for an entirely sappy romantic life with a cute wedding and adorable kids. he's probably fantasized about having that with minji when he started falling for her and was mentally like welp... that sure was a thing... i'm sure slowly going insane...
7 - he's never been cheated on since i don't think he's ever had a relationship before.. how it'd be handled would determine whether he'd forgive the person or not, he'd probably just bluntly and flatly tell them that if they aren't interested in him, they can just say it to his face, you know. no hurt feelings, they'll just split up if that's the case, whatever.
9 - nope, he's never even crushed on anyone before the whole thing with minji happened, so it's never had the chance to be unrequited. too busy deadpanning about the school to think about romance, obviously.
friendship
2 - no. which is not really because he can't, but more because he won't. it's not like sinjoon hates being around people, but he's also just very comfortable by himself and just sitting somewhere painting.. he's pretty chill with minimizing his interactions with weirdos as much as he can.. he wouldn't mind befriending some of them, but he sure isn't going out of his way to do it.
6 - not really, he's not a very handsy type with friends. he wouldn't really mind it if friends did it to him (unless it was excessive, do not noogie him, do you see his hair, do you realise what kind of mess it'd be if you'd noogie him), but he wouldn't initiate it himself.
7 - AHAHAHAHAHAHA no. no, he would never. he'd die internally at the thought.
8 - he can kind of be a little too blunt at times with the deadpanning since he's just.. very honest and upfront about some things most people would rather hear a little bit more subtle. so if you don't have thick skin, chances are he'll be a little too blunt and hurt you sooner or later. HE'D APOLOGIZE IF HE SAW IT'D HURT SOMEONE HE CARES ABOUT, BUT.. IT'D STILL HAPPEN..

1 - yes-- she was really genuinely in love with yeong, but she just expected way different things from him than he could give her and it just ended up blowing up in a huge way. he was her first love too, what an ad.. venture...
2 - mostly straight, but i don't think she'd really mind getting together with a girl if there was one she was attracted to, tbh. it's just that she's much more easily attracted to boys.
3 - holding her hand or just holding her in general, most soothing gestures, guys taking the lead even though she'll act like she doesn't like that last one.
6 - SHE DOES, it's just that she's got a long way to go before she'll be very suited for that.. although it'll come with growing up, i'm pretty sure. but having a normal marriage and a house and kids and everything going well and being normal is like life goals for her.
9 - nope. there was the mess with yeong, but that's another beast entirely...
friendship
2 - she easily ties people to her, but she doesn't really make friends. like, subin is pretty popular in school (or at least is before everything with yeong blows up in the end) but it's more just since she's the leader of that popular girls clique you see in every high school that's more of a power ranking than people really sticking together because they're friends and enjoy each other's company.
4 - someone who's comforting. subin is very, very easily agitated and has generally high stress levels and freaks out easily. so having a friend who's more chill and who can make her chill too and soothe her would be perfect.
5 - i'd say all of them are equally important to her.. but that's her problem, since she tried to balance out herself and her future and having to take care of her sickly younger sibling a lot and staying popular and in charge at school and things not going well with yeong and it just.. didn't work that well to try and balance all those things at once and it imploded into her face.
6 - not at all. maybe if she'd have more genuine friends she would really be comfortable with, but otherwise she's not very touchy feely whatsoever.
