APPEARANCE:

Appearance: ''Angelic looks'' is an understatement when it comes to Taehyung's appearance. Somehow, he has strongly defined, yet delicate, facial lines, accompanied by clear, smooth and unspoiled skin with dark brown eyes that go with his almost pitch-black, wavy hair. Though, by looking at his face, you may mistaken him for an angel, and his hands may seem like palms of God himself, Taehyung also has imperfections on his body, just as everyone else. Regrettably, his arms are filled with scars after numerous cuts that he's done in the past. Tho, they're not as visible as they were in high school, he still covers them up so that no one would find out about them. When it comes to posture, Taehyung's a tall, proud-looking man that never slouches (which is kinda funny since he's not as confident as his looks tell about him). He's much lighter than his brother 'cause he doesn't work out very often and he likes to snack in the middle of the night from time to time. And just as his brother, he, too, has a tattoo - the continuation of the black line with feathers that connects with Seunghyun's wrist. Additionaly, tho his stare isn't something that sets him apart from others, his eyes hold a big mystery in them. Each person will see something different when they take a closer look - tiredness of living, broken dreams, cut off wings, calling out for help, faked joy or hidden pain... You name it. His gaze seems so delicate and comforting. Just by taking a glance, you somehow feel at ease when he's around. That's the power of his eyes.

Style: You may call his style of dressing up unique and quite extravagant. Material trousers, button-up shirts, turtlenecks, coats, sweaters, cardigans, shawls and beautiful, matching jewelry that connects everything together and give more character to his outfit. That would be Taehyung's style. Contrary to his brother, who prefers darker clothes, Taehyung's fond of beige and white colours in his wardrobe. Yeah, he, too, wear regular jeans and hoodies, but vintage clothes take most part of his garnment. And since he shares similar style with his sibling - they often go out together for shopping and exchange clothes without quarreling.

PERSONALITY:

MBTI type: INFP

Character: At first, let's admit that Taehyung among friends and Taehyung when he's alone, are two different people. When no one is around, Tae tends to be more depressed, nostalgic and certainly - a lot quieter as well as serious. But when he's with his friends - it's 180 degrees change. He smiles more, jokes, talks, forgets about all his problems and bad days... He's like a walking sunshine that spreads his energy with others. Oh God, how much he wishes to be like that all the time. Because when they go... The perfect utopia snaps and the reality knocks on the doors to check up on him. Then, everything comes back and happy mood falls to the ground and shatters.

Above all, Taehyung is a really unique person that focuses on details and things no one would even notice or bother about. Due to this unusual way of thinking, sometimes, others have a hard time understanding him. He says most random things all the time and starts walking with his head in the clouds very easily. That's mostly why he has troubles with focusing. It's not bad at all, it's just different than what society would call as ''normal''. But despite that, he's an innocent, free and spontaneous spirit that attracks everyone's attention. Once you meet him, you're most likely to never forget him.

Beyond that, he's a deeply empathetic, generous and kind human being that's always ready to help others in need. That's actually quite unexpected and surprising if you consider the fact that his own twin brother is anything but that. However, Taehyung's emotionality works for both of them. He's the one who's most likely to cry on movies or have the funeral ceremony for the fly that Seunghyun's just killed. Tho, it may sound silly at first, it's very helpful for the longer term of being friends with him. Taehyung can understand deep emotions that others hold or have troubles explaining, as if he was the one reliving them. He can understand pretty much anything and he won't joke about stuff when things get serious. And tho he's not so good in giving advice, he's a really good listener and secret keeper. After all, he kept his secret all this time without anyone noticing. Does it make him also a good liar? Most certainly. Acting skills didn't appear out of nothing.

But, being so emotional isn't always that great and amazing. Because of that, he's so vulnerable and sensitive that every single, negative thing pointed at him, shatters and breaks him apart. He'd remember that one thing, which the other person probably forgot a long time ago, for the rest of his life, probably. It's not a secret that he often gets carried away and locks himself in his headspace, which I'm telling you - is so toxic and destrictive to him, that he shouldn't have stepped in it even for a second. 

His mind is very powerful and creative when it comes to ways of destroying every last piece of confidence and self-acceptance that was left in him. But living in this headspace that can't seem to notice any happiness and good things about his life, isn't so easy as it may sound. That's when the self-isolation appears, because... No one can notice how fragile he is. You'll never know whether something's wrong or not, unless you ask him. But even if you do, he's most likely to lie, smile and sweep that topic away. He himself will never tell what's wrong with him. Even if the world would be shattering.

When it comes to quarrels, he's just as stubborn as his brother. But the differentiating thing is that Seunghyun wouldn't give a shit about it later on, but Taehyung... He will most likely put all the blame on himself. Well, it can be easily said that he definitelly finds it easier to forgive others than himself.

He seeks for harmony and acceptance, and due to his past, he will lower his head and apologize first. Or he'd try to "erase" this misunderstanding by convincing the other person or himself that the problem no longer exist and everything is fine between them because he was wrong since the beginning or he just had a bad day then, so they should just forget about all that and move on. He indeed hates fighting and the thought of losing someone he cares about... Is more than terrifying, so he tends to put others before him not to lose anyone. Well, that rule doesn't work when it comes to fighting with Seunghyun. Because when it happens, they can live without talking to each other for days unless someone speaks first. And then, they're most likely to fight once again.

Some other traits that complete Taehyung's character is being lazy, lazy, and lazy, and forgetful. You can't even imagine how many times Seunghyun and Taehyung fought because of that. And when it comes to positive trais again, Taehyung is very open-minded, creative, passionate and idealistic. When he does something he likes, he does it the best way he can. He tries very hard, tho it may not seem like it at the first glance. He's also open to new ideas and different views of the world around him, unlike his brother, who tends to think that he's always right, not matter how wrong he is.

Fears and phobias:

- losing someone he cares about,

- his father,

- showing weakness,

- hurting people's feelings,

- heights,

- ghosts,

- being a burden.

Preferences:

- He has a sweet tooth. He loves eating any kind of sweets, chocolate and cakes, and unlike his brother - he's not much for bitter and spicy things.

- He makes a really delicious coffee, tho he himself doesn't like it (the caffeine itself). But when it happens that he drinks it, it's rather ''milk with coffee'' than ''coffee with milk''.

- When it comes to cleaning and taking care of the mess around the house as well as his room... Well, let's say that he has his way of ''cleaning'' and managing his things that... Seunghyun may not like that much. 

- When drinking alcohol, the sweeter and weaker in power it is, the better.

- He doesn't like big, loud parties. Having some fun with his friends is more than enough.

- Working out, what is that?

- Loves rain. When it's raining, he feels as if the world (weather and nature mostly) understands his mood and feelings. As if it was crying along with him.

BACKSTORY:

(more about it in the story)

OTHER:

- Tho, it may not seem like it, Taehyung is actually older than his twin brother. Well, it's a matter of a few minutes, but still - the pride of being older lies in his hands.

- In contrast to Seunghyun, Taehyung is very clingy and stick to people like koala bear to the tree. He adores cuddling and delicate, physical touch. That's also why he can't fall asleep without hugging anything. Most of the time, it's his pillow, but sometimes, Seunghyun becomes the cushion when they fall asleep next to each other.

- When he was younger, he dreamt of becoming an actor, but as he was growing up, he abandoned this ambition. Personal problems took most part in it, but he also thought that he's not that good and there are other people more talented than him, so why bother trying.

- He gave up smoking after high school. Sometimes, some unknown forces try to drag him into this addiction again, but for now, he's good at pushing those instincts away. When he feels like smoking, he just eats sweets (which isn't the best way of coping, but everything's for people).
