KEEPER
at some point, yuyang forgets why heās doing this.
thisĀ being sprinting across a campus he can just barely say he knows outside of fall when the leaves lining baekyangro are especially worthwhile. thereās a clear file containing a neatly stapled report on some scientific gibberish he gave up on trying to comprehend two minutes into his first and last feeble attempt at reading through it clutched in his hand. heās not really sure what struck him about the report so poignantlyĀ that he felt compelled to return it to its owner. maybe it was the FINAL REPORTĀ typed ominously in bold. or the name? jeno? donāt hear that one too often. he wasĀ sort of curious to see what kind of person jenoĀ was. or, wait, ah, yeahāhe remembers now.Ā
it was the glaring due date on the report that very clearly reflected todayās date, and yuyang isnāt heartless enough to let a student take a hit like this when he could do something about it.
he just, well, before committing himself to the cause, hadnāt really thought too far into it. for starters, yuyang definitely did not expect to be spending a majority of his morning and a chunk of his afternoon on trying to find this one stranger in a campus too big for his liking. in jenoās defense, it probably would have taken much less time had yuyang sucked it up early on and just asked someone for help instead of stubbornly refusing to interact with strangers for the first two hours he wandered around yonsei.Ā
but thatās the past. the present is what matters the mostāand in the present, yuyang has finally found a location and a time. and speakingĀ of time, itās almost up.Ā
hence why our humble protagonist jettisons himself through a crowd of students, nearly stumbling and slipping at every corner as he tries to navigate the science hall.Ā
the end of his (this is embarrassing) three hour saga is very close to an end.Ā
ten minutes before the purported class is supposed to end, song yuyang skids to a stop in front of the classroom in question and flingsāflingsāthe door open. itās unintentional, and he canāt really bring himself to apologize about it when his body is insisting he lie down right then and thereĀ and take a nap, but yuyang lifts his head in feeble greeting when all eyes turn to him.Ā
āisāā he grimaces, one particularly sharp breath clawing its way out of his throat. with much futility, yuyang lifts the file up.Ā āis lee jeno here?ā

status: please stopš: in a relationship
honestly, it depends. generally speaking, heās not much different. smiles more, laughs more, but just look at the way he treats his roommate and anyone else that has the great honor (jk) of being on the receiving end of yuyangās clinginess, and thatās probably how heād be in a relationship. one (1) man who isnāt afraid to show he loves u!!!

status: please stopš: sleeping habits
pretty structured. or, actually, it depends on the weekā¦ the dayā¦ the mood. for the most part, he sleeps around the same time and wakes up at the crack of dawn to exercise (i know, disgusting) or take a walk. something about the city being near-quiet has always been a comfort to him. seoulās never silent, but the early mornings lend a little more to serenity than the middle of the day when heās daydreaming and nearly getting hit by cars and stuff. on sporadic occasions, he might stay up to finish watching a show or a movie, or even to finish a piece (though this hasnāt been the case since he took his leave of absence from hongik). a good āsleeperā (??) for the most part, but he does get cold easily and has to be buried in thick blankets with too-many pillows for him to cling onto.

status:Ā please stopš: dealing with a heatwave
living in a nice-enough place that air conditioning usually isnāt an issue, but when unitās not as cool as it should be and the weather outside is disgusting, heĀ doesnāt move. literally does not move. yuyang lie in his bed as still as possible for as long as possible. people will have to forcibly drag him away from his oldass electric fan. he's bad with temperature extremes. summer really aināt shit!

ONLY PIECES
yuyang canāt say with certainty that heās a fan of heights.
in fact, on most days of the years, he much prefers having his feet firmly on the ground instead ofāto put it as eloquently as possibleādanglingĀ however-many-feet in the air because somehow he managed to get trapped in a tree of all things.Ā
it isnāt so much the judgmental stares of passing children and confused adults, mostly parents, have been directing in yuyangās direction that bothers him. what bothersĀ him most is that he came up here for the sole purpose of getting an interesting angle with euitaekās vlogging camera, only to get to a sturdy branch considerably high up with no real concept of how to get back downā
and the camera neglected at the base of the tree.
he can be reckless sometimes, but he isnāt usually reckless andĀ stupid simultaneously, which is what makes this situation that much more frustrating.Ā
as it turns out, trees probably arenāt meant to house people. yuyang has nearly fallen off swatting away cobwebs and the occasional nameless bug four times already in the past twenty minutes, and neither he nor euitaek have come to a reasonable conclusion on How Best to Get Down From the Tree You Stupidly Thought Would Be Smart to Climb.Ā
āi could jump,ā yuyang murmurs to himself, leaning back against the trunk. as each second passes, yuyang becomes more and more resigned, one might even say contentĀ with the idea of living up here for eternity. heās not one for dramatic so he knows that at some point, heāll have to stop pretending to be a walking stickĀ or another similarly woodsy creature and go back to being song yuyang, who has to go to work in an hour and a half.Ā
a couple of birds titter noisily as they settle on the end of the branch heās stretched his legs out on. he makes eye contact and they remain, chirping incessantly to each other while staringĀ at him. this must be how cinderella felt, or maybe this is the plot behind a horror movie where he gets eaten by two songbirds.Ā
āhey,ā yuyang calls out, peering his head over his shoulder and down at euitaek.Ā āshould i just jump?ā

WITHOUT YOU
he might have been on the cusp of sixĀ when heād furrowed his brows, cheeks red with frustration, uncharacteristically petulant as he told his mother, arms crossed against his chest, i hate you.Ā
itās been years, but he still remembers the flicker of shock on her face, the residual somethingĀ that tugged at his heart lingering in her gaze. father pulled him aside afterward and sat him down, hands firm on yuyangās shoulders. the sternness his father typically exuded was nowhere to be found, replaced with what might have been exhaustion, resignation, as he said, you have to use your words carefully. theyāre powerful.
yuyang values his words. the last thing he wants to do is be misunderstood. the world is a giant, beating heart, constantly on the brink of breakingāand he thinks in passing, when the glass pane of a storefront reflects his image and he sees his motherās eyes in himself, that itād be a pityĀ if he were the one to break it.
the cellphone in his hand is heavy and yuyang is listless as his arm drops back to his side. the wordsĀ āi promiseā are still on the tip of his tongue and all he really feels is something akin to numbness. maybe he ought to call his father back, rescind the promise and replace it with something more lenient, forgivingāsomething less of a chain to china, to what is supposed to be home.Ā
(one year, babaĀ says. one year and then you come back home.)Ā
while heād prefer to sink deeper into his bed and block out the noisy thoughts threatening to burst past the barricade of white noise heās much more accustomed to drowning in, itās with purpose that yuyang forces himself out of his bedroom and peeks his head into the living room. thereās only one person he ever looks for these days, and more often than not, that person is never too far out of reach.Ā
yunseo is sitting on the couch, a newspaper of all things opened and perched in front of him. on a quieter day, yuyang might laugh, but thereās a traitorous thumping of his heart as it races too quicklyĀ reeling him back to reality.Ā
reality is his alone today. heāll swallow it.Ā
āhyung,ā he calls out, padding across the open space to plop down unceremoniously beside yunseo. thereās no hesitation; yuyang immediately rests his head on yunseoās shoulder, knowing full-well heās being distracting.Ā āletās do something.āĀ

me reblogging my intro post twice? more likely than uād thinkĀ
anyway i put together a crap plots page! hopefully will have some more ideas to add later but yea. still getting around to ims but thank u for ur patience T_T
unfashionably late as always, but hey guys! iām excited to be here for cityscapeās inaugural weekend and even more excited to write with all of u! :D
this is yuyang! heās a china-transplant whoās been floating around in korea for the past two years or so. heās a drifter at heart, very much so does his own thing, and probably cares very little what the rest of the world thinks of him (not in a malicious way - he just doesnāt have the attention span to, you know, focus on things outside of his sphere of inviolability). first came to korea as an exchange student for oriental painting (his specialty is actually watercolor, but eh) and decided to transfer last minute. recently, he took a leave of absence from school because 1) no muse and 2) heās reckless enough to drop out for that one reason alone.Ā
usually seen wandering the streets looking particularly lost (heās not). he works as a delivery boy for a bunch of different places and takes on whatever odd job he thinks sounds interesting. when yuyang isnāt out melting into the world, heās probably curled up in his room watching documentaries about the ocean.Ā
he doesnāt talk much because heās wary of being misunderstood but heās got a firm grasp on understanding korean. and while heās kind of hard to read, yuyang is really justā¦ sort of shy so!Ā
please like this post if youāre interested in plotting :D i have some info up for him on his profile page and his bio page but the plots page has yet to be born. stay tuned!!

As a welcome to all of our members, weāre reblogging our first meme! Since everyone is new and getting to know each othersā muses, weāre starting out with a headcanon meme! This can be answered through either a solo or drabble through your museās perspective or as an out of character commentary about their life and experiences. And be sure to remember roleplay karma; the more memes you send out, the more youāre likely to receive!
Send one of the following for a headcanon about my museā¦

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
