ooc age: 92—liners.
ooc timezone: gmt plus 8.

✶ ⁞ plotting。
when we are plotting, I would love it if you could also come up with ideas and not only one-sided from me, and make sure we both can work on the plot together and also make sure everything is with consent, friends. I really love plotting and can get very enthusiastic about ideas. but just know that if I ever suggest something you're not comfortable with, just say no and we can come up with something that suits us better. also, please please no god-modding. that means don't write my character without my consent, don't change our plot without my consent.

✶ ⁞ writing styles。
I tend to write in third pov, multi paragraphs as well. sometimes it can be lengthy and I don't think I can write such a novella lol but I often mirror my partner's and try to match up with the lengths as I am considering the efforts my partner's gave me with their replies.

✶ ⁞ activity, replies & poking。
I am quite active but also because I'm working, it depends and sometimes I couldn't check on my replies at the moment you guys sent it, so I am taking my time with it. my replies can be varies at times. there's a time I would be lazy and doesn't do any replies at all, but I love going to chat in the room. so please don't think I'm ignoring you or whatever that because I just want to be in chat room, and not attending my replies yet. please do understand. I don't mind poking but please don't do that too often bc it might annoy me.

✶ ⁞ genres。
I preferred romance, drama, love triangles, angsts especially but some fluffy and cute plot are good with me also. I usually rp as male ( mostly svt especially wonwoo and mingyu )  and please do respect my faceclaims and be mindful of a  plot that can be triggering as well.

✶ ⁞ triggers。
some words like 'worship me', 'i am god', 'god' or any such religious things that don't make sense to me, please avoid it at all costs. let's be respectful with others beliefs and religions. I don't like it when you bring something like that to me especially when it comes to smut. it's totally a big no. if you do, I will not hesitate to block you.

✶ ⁞ nsfw。
I will try to avoid this at cost, but it depends I guess. I will only work on these kinds of genres with someone that I'm close with.

🌸 let's be friends and let's connect !

.✦ flaws ⁞

he shuts people out when things get too heavy — not out of malice, but because he doesn’t know how to ask for help. he also overthinks everything, replaying conversations long after they’re over. he struggles to let go — of people, memories, even guilt that doesn’t belong to him. he avoids conflict to keep the peace, even when it hurts him more.

.✦ hates / dislikes ⁞

he hates being misunderstood, but rarely explains himself. he dislikes meaningless small talk — he’d rather sit in silence than force a conversation. he doesn’t like being pressured to open up, especially when it feels like someone’s digging. he can’t stand the sound of raised voices — it reminds him too much of old arguments. he has a quiet dislike for people who pretend to care when they don’t.

.✦ pet peeves ⁞

he gets irritated when people don’t put things back where they belong — especially in the café kitchen. he can’t stand when someone talks over others, especially during a calm discussion. he doesn’t like people using their phones while eating together — it feels disrespectful to him. he gets annoyed when others leave the lights on unnecessarily or waste food. he dislikes performative kindness — the kind done just for show.

.✦ bad habits ⁞

he tends to bottle things up and pretend he’s fine, even when he’s far from it. he smokes when he’s too stressed, though he tries to quit — he always hides it. he forgets to eat when he’s overwhelmed or too deep in thought. he picks at the skin around his nails when he’s nervous. he rereads old text messages or letters, clinging to emotions he never got closure for.

— he had an ex-girlfriend named zhou ningxuan (xuannie), but they broke up because his father refused to accept her. probably because his father had some beef with ning’s family and didn’t want kyungho to be associated with her anymore.

— his father even threatened to hurt ning right in front of kyungho, which made him fear what could happen to her if he continued their relationship. kyungho knew his father’s power was no joke.

— his father later set him up with a new girl, his childhood friend, seol harin. she was someone he used to have a crush on when they were kids. while growing up, kyungho seemed to forget about those old feelings, but when this arranged marriage happened, he started to feel confused.

— he knows harin is trying her best to be a good wife, always caring for him, but he still keeps his distance.

— he was best friends with a mafia heir named youngho. how they met and got close, no one really knows. kyungho was the only one who didn’t flinch when he found out about youngho’s true identity. he believed youngho was just like him, and they bonded over their shared family tragedies.

— he learned how to make coffee during college as a coping mechanism. it became something meditative.

— someone from his staff introduced open mic nights, and though reluctant at first, kyungho quietly listens.

— he stays behind after closing, sitting by the window with a cup of black coffee, thinking of all the things he could never say.

— he hires people with complicated pasts.
