bring you sunshine sweetbrier tea house, present time. triggers. none @yujinbh

"are you sure i could actually have all of these?" siwoo finds himself asking the server who has laid multiple plates of assorted crocus treats on his table. it's honestly... a bit too much for a man to finish, what more since the assortment of desserts range from gingerbread amaretto chocolate tar to lemoncake houses and even fruit spiced chocolates. siwoo himself isn't a sweet tooth in particular so he would have a hard time finishing a quarter of what is even served.

the server tells him it's on behalf of the owner's treat due to his consistent patronage to the tea house but what they don't tell him however, is that although the tea house owner is as generous as they could be, half of the treat comes from the other patrons,; particularly the ladies who are seated tables away and eyeing the owner of eternity in hopes for an invitation to his own table.

the man finds himself starring at the nicely plated treats before he takes his cup of apple slice and cinnamon sticks tea, taking sips of the warm concoction before he lets his vision linger at the newcomer that has make his way to the tea house.

"yujin," he calls out the young man from the house of gladiolus, having made a sort of acquaintanceship with him in prior events where they had chance to meet. "say, are you any sort of a sweet tooth?" he asks curiously, hoping that the man would be so at the very least the treats that had been serviced to him won't go to waste.

i knoooow like i owe people starters/replies but crocus szn is here and i have some plot calls out for both juy and siwoo! i'll still be getting to non event threads but there will be priority on event threads response first! do reply with the following emoji if you're keen for interactions!

for juyeon 🍒 - your muse invites juy out for ice skating be it as a date or platonically. (funnier take if he's being used as a 'date' because your muse's crush or ex is there) 🍉 - your muse is participating the crocus baking contest and makes juy their lab rat (bonus if your muse completely cannot bakes) 🍎 - being the son of mugunghwa, he will be attending the gala. your muse either wants him to be their partner for the night / dancing partner before the auction begins 🍓 - alternatively, juyeon will be performing at the mugunghwa gala, but what happens if he and your muse so happened to sight a mistletoe 🍅 - thread where they could meet at the tea house, ordering the most amount of orders of gingerbread and eggnogs (alternatively, also buying this for the children of beonhwa and being their version of santa's lil helper) 🌶️ - your muse is supposed to get into the sleigh ride that is meant for couples but got stood up. instead, invites juy!

for siwoo 🥯 - siwoo is being dragged out by plenty of eligible woman at the mugunghwa gala to the mistletoe lane, your muse tries to help him get away from mothers and daughters of other houses. (perhaps even ending up at the mistletoe with siwoo themselves eventually) 🥐 - a friend acquainted with the house of gladiolus bought the couple private sleigh with no intentions of using if. handing the privilege to siwoo, he invites your muse out so it doesn't go to waste. 🥨 - being a regular at the sweetbrier tea house, he's being served a lot of servings of crocus holiday treats. not wanting it to go to waste and not being a sweet tooth himself, he invites your muse to sit with him to finish the treat. 🥖 - there's been a mix up and somehow siwoo finds himself involuntarily joining the baking contest. since he isn't a quitter per say, he ends up learning baking and practices with your muse who he enlist to taste his goods for feedback

and alternatively, always down to brainstorm for both my muses for anything that works out for the event!

tw: mentions of weaponry and injuries

the situation is almost comical but at most, one that siwoo is familiar with. he's been in situations like this before; be it a first hand experience or one that is done in disguise. in most situation however, he does make it out alive but there has been situations where he finds himself with open wounds in need of tending and bandages. tonight however, the raven haired man had hoped he had managed to get away unscathed.

"it does seemed like he's rather delirious. might not even listen to us." siwoo response, eyes still in full focus of the armed man before him. his head starts thinking of possibilities he could disarmed the man; for one, he could end up being reckless by lunging forth and grabbing his arm before knocking the knife off his head but if the man decides to swing forth, he might even be stabbed. but there may be a better chance siwoo could try toppling the latter when he isn't as built in shape. the other strategy he could think of is to persuade the man to drop his weapon and allow him the chance of going home to where his family is, least that would allow him a sort of redemption.

his thoughts however cuts short when the man starts swinging the weapon, screaming 'get off of me' and 'get lost' in the midst of his impulsive action. it causes siwoo to step back just a bit, to avoid the sharp blade of the silver tool in causing him harm. a third plan devise in his head, one that siwoo would wish to not proceed with since it would involve shooting the man's leg in his least vial spot; one where the man wouldn't die but that would mean he would expose himself of using a weapon even if it may be a form of self defense.

"tell me, are you good in knocking a man down?" siwoo ask the man whom he had tried sheltering, his focus still goes undivided of the man in front of them.

✷ PLUNGE HEADFIRST ( continued with siwoo / @bhsiwoo )

( ... ) siwoo unfortunately finds himself stepping into the situation when the argument had turned sour as the man with the knife had in turn act aggressively. "how about we calm down and drop the knife?" he finds himself stepping in; standing in front of the taller man so that the knife point at siwoo instead.

tw: weaponry

although yeonsu was still new to knight training, he had certainly exceeded the expectations that had seemed to be held for him. years of farm work seemed to have prepared him better for all areas of strength and stamina that was needed for the most basic knightly duties. his natural aptitude of understanding strategy and tactic paired well with his physical abilities and within three months, yeonsu was already being given certain tasks that wouldn’t typically be expected of a knight that early into training.

excelling in his duties as a knight was only a small step towards his responsibilities as the heir apparent however. if anything, it simply proved to those all around him - those watching him - that yeonsu was certainly much more capable than anyone had expected following his return. above all else, it meant that there was more potential, and they would be waiting for yeonsu to push past those limits to show just how capable he was. 

and so here he is patrolling one of the streets long after the moon has risen to take its turn in the sky. the citizens of beonhwa had reported that there had been a suspicious man lingering around one of the unlit streets recently, scaring many people about their safety and that of their loved ones.

with an especially quiet night with a light layer of snow decorating the ground, it’s not hard for yeonsu to pick up the sounds of low grumbling that echoes in the street. he follows it silently until he comes across a man who seems to be muttering to himself, body hunched as he walks slowly along one side of the street. so he approaches the strange man calling out to him to make his presence known- which seems to trigger a turn of events. 

“sir, are you heading anywhere specific this evening?”

yeonsu’s question goes ignored however as the man in front of him immediately whips around before lunging towards yeonsu, arms outstretched trying to grab a hold of him. yeonsu’s reflexes are quick however as he dodges the man and manages to push him from behind to put some distance between the two of them. 

the shuffle of footsteps and labored breathing drowns out the noise around them and yeonsu doesn’t catch the dark silhouette that emerges from a dark path extending from the main street until the person has already planted themself in front of yeonsu- facing the man head on. 

from where he stands, the man looks somewhat familiar - but not one of the knights yeonsu has become acquainted with. this thought cuts short however when yeonsu sees the man in front of them pull out a knife.

“something doesn’t seem right. he seems delirious- this could get dangerous if we’re not careful.”

[bhsiwoo]

if siwoo recognizes the all too familiar smile he gets alike any other woman and mother that tries approaching him, he does not exactly point it out either until and if the vendor herself lays out her intentions. but since she approaches him professionally and of his remedy requirement, siwoo answers as inquired. "the price of purchase wouldn't be a concern," he starts, knowing that wealth is one of the least concern he has but in a way that isn't bragging since he needs the remedy more than he would need the money.

"would you give me your best balm that would heal general wounds? like cuts and scratches." he asks with hopefulness to his tone and tries to keep his request as vague in hopes she wouldn't press more for anything descriptive. "the balm would be for me, and generally i would need to do work but nothing of heavy labor though. maybe slight movement? just your typical exercising." he elaborates as loosely as he could.

shoulders slumped as a soft huff of dissatisfaction left xiaoli's lips. the day wasn't even half over and she was already feeling weary and restless. the woman was a natural introvert and only came alive in the presence of others but it seemed to be a slow day for the golden flower, leaving her to twiddle her thumbs and try to entertain herself. and she was failing miserably. perching her chin on her hand, she thought of perhaps drifting off for just a moment. it couldn't hurt, could it? her eyes had just fluttered shut when she was pulled from her rest by an unfamiliar voice.

her expression was one of disinterest as she gazed upwards though that quickly changed as she locked eyes with the man. shooting up from her seat behind the counter she tried to put on her most charming smile while doing her best to readjust her robes. she needed to make a good impression after all. very few eligible men had the status and wealth of jeong siwoo and though she hadn't gone out of her way to make herself known to the man, now that she had the chance she certainly wouldn't waste it.

"ah, certainly. i have just what you need. but first, may i ask if you if whomever is going to be using this balm will being doing work after putting it on? this will determine which balm i recommend," as she gave her sales pitch, she came from around the corner, slender fingers pushing ba!1gfck her bangs as she looked at him from beneath her lashes. "something stronger will be able to stand up to sweat and water, things of that nature. it'll be a bit more expensive but i can assure you it's worth it. it's a family recipe passed down 300 years."

[bhsiwoo]

the walk towards sweetbrier tea house is one that comes naturally for siwoo, especially after the long meeting he had with potential trade partners and investors for eternity. admittedly, it seemed more likely that the partnership may not happen since the proposal came out to be more of a loss than profit and neither would they mutually gain if siwoo were to sign the deal. either way, now that he's given time to think, he decides to not think about it for the time being and to allow himself a time of leisure with the comfort of tea.

except when he does get there, the tea house itself is filled with customers in its usual accommodating services. there are barely any seats left and a long queue at that which almost made siwoo go home in all disappointment and tiredness until he hears a familiar voice calling his name out. his eyes lands on the youngest child of mugunghwa.

there's a slight pinch in his decision. one part of him knows the younger woman had once harbored a small and harmless infatuation on him once upon a time, and one he had not comment but had indirectly put her feelings down. another part of him knows that even if she had still harbored feelings for him; he is a whole bachelor and dasom is betrothed to the son of magnolia. all that aside though, siwoo really wants tea.

he decides to eventually settle down the seat of dasom's table, offering a light smile as courtesy. "it's very kind of you to offer a seat at your table, miss dasom." he starts off lightly with his tone laced of courtesy and gratitude. supposed there would be no harm to keep a lady company for a short while as he enjoy a cup of tea or two. siwoo quickly orders a cup of his favorite brew before turning to the host of the table. "have you been doing well, miss dasom?""

SWEET NOTHINGS ft. jeong siwoo @bhsiwoo location: the sweetbrier tea house, present day triggers: tbd

there was nothing like the sweet aroma of tea in the air. sometimes she simply sat down to enjoy the floral scents infused into the beverage as her fingers wrapped around the warm body of her tea cup. if she had to put a name to this feeling, serenity was the only word that came to mind.

and of course, the energetic atmosphere of the sweetbrier tea house certainly helped boost her mood without fail.

it was difficult not to smile into her cup at the vibrant whispers and giggles that surrounded her table. on most days the youngest mugunghwa daughter stayed active in the social scene amongst 'friends'. she used the term loosely as those who occupied a seat at her tables were everchanging, no one person could ever manage to snag a seat twice in one season. and while a spot at her side was highly desirable, there were days when dasom chose to sit alone, quietly listening in on the gossip nearby rather than partaking in the chatter directly.

"we all need a break at some point." she hummed gently, taking a sip of her tea before nearly spitting it out almost immediately. jeong siwoo, a sight for sore eyes! though he was known to frequent the tea house, dasom had only barely caught glimpses of the famed hotel owner, being too busy with her own company to slip away. "it's my lucky day!" he'd long since rejected her— and of course she'd already moved on from the heartache— but that never stopped her from wanting to enjoy the company of a handsome lad!

dasom took the opportunity to rush up towards the entrance excitedly, greeting the other with a wide smile. "jeong siwoo! i have a few spots at my table today if you'd be so kind as to keep me company."

🎁 : handmade gifts or store bought?

"i don't normally receive gifts much but i think handmade gifts are particularly nice. joohyun made me this scarf and embroidered handkerchief the last two christmas i got to spend with her. it's one of my few treasured items," siwoo finds himself smiling fondly as he recalls. "not that store bought gifts are anything bad. i personally give out store bought gifts since i can't really... make anything handmade."

❄️ : if we were caught up in a snowstorm together, what would you do?

"i'd fear for my life." siwoo finds himself answering with a serious expression. "like don't get me wrong. realistically, i believe we would be able to survive the snowstorm together... my weaponry expertise and manpower, and your knowledge." he elaborates at first before a long pause in his words. "i would fear what you would do to me more than i would fear being out in the snowstorm, if you ask me." he presses his lips together, hoping his words didn't come off offensive. he's fond of xiaoli of course, given their affinity for tea and knowledge but her previous courtship on him has... proven that she could be far more dangerous than any snowstorm.

🌹💫💐

💫 : what is your most treasured family tradition during the crocus holidays?

siwoo finds himself rubbing his nape, craning it a bit as he thinks whether there had been any traditions at all when it comes to crocus holidays. he hadn't celebrate it much as a child prior to his school years and especially after he had been sent away to beonhwa, he never bothered coming back for crocus holidays at the advice of his father. "i only got to celebrate crocus three times with my wife. since i didn't really have any traditions on my side of the family... and neither did joohyun really. what we did for crocus was just spend time at home, perhaps listening to some old folk songs from the gramophone. then again, that feel like our daily routine so... i don't think there's any treasured family tradition per say."

plunge headfirst. the streets of beonhwa, present time. triggers. mentions of weaponry, blood, injuries, more tba. @yeonsu-bh

the sun has long fallen and the night greets siwoo all too familiarly. he is no stranger on walking the paths where the streetlights don't shine with all that's left is the moonlight above. but that doesn't mean he isn't particular cautious of his environment. tonight is no different than most of his walks of errands. it's always the same routine. leave home. make sure he has his hand pistol tucked in the hidden under pocket of his suit in case. head over to wherever he needs to go and come home.

somehow there had been a minor urge in him in taking the long way home and he isn't sure why his guts is telling him so, except he knows when to trust it ever compels him to fall out of routine. so he takes the longest and darkest route home but with each light step he takes, the closer the sound of multiple footstep seemed to approach him until he comes across hearing a commotion between two man before one of them had pulled out a knife.

siwoo unfortunately finds himself stepping into the situation when the argument had turned sour as the man with the knife had in turn act aggressively. "how about we calm down and drop the knife?" he finds himself stepping in; standing in front of the taller man so that the knife point at siwoo instead.

🌲 : something you look forward to most this holiday season

"there are reasons why i particularly have a... dislike. for the crocus season." the owner of eternity finds himself opening up. "i can tell you about the things i don't look forward to more than the one i look forward though. but it might just be my old age catching up that i rather just sit at home with a nice cup of tea and a nice book to read. i supposed that alone, is something i look forward to."

💐 : your honest opinion of the three houses

"i have no particular opinions on any of the three houses," siwoo starts off, choosing to remain in his neutral stance to neither be a friend nor be a foe towards the houses. he keeps a comfortable arm's length or tries to — somehow he ends up being connected to the children of the three houses as much as he tries to maintain his distance. since the heat and pressure comes more so from the adults and the elders of the houses, he could only pretend to not know any of them especially if they do not approach him first.

"let's just say, i wished they would take a hint that i rather stay at home than to attend the events they are inviting me to. no hard feelings though, i just like being a homebody."

#𝕄𝔼𝕄𝔼 ― 𝘈𝘕𝘚𝘞𝘌𝘙𝘌𝘋! #/ siwoo: i dont want want to be involved with anyone from the houses. also siwoo: has interactions with children from all 3 houses
