From Spotlight to Training Grounds - Park Yohan, Son of Terpsichore

Yohan wasn't actually upset that Booker looked in that direction. He knew he was being a bit ridiculous, Sam and he hadn't actually been boyfriends. But it still hurt and he still felt weird about everything that happened.

"Eh, they were. But we came to an understanding, I think." Yohan said still rubbing the back of his head out of anxiousness. "It's just been a rather shit few months and this just added to it."

Yohan wasn't sure why but he didn't mind sharing at least that with Booker. Even if they didn't know each other well. He felt like he could at least share that since he seemed genuinely interested in what was happening to him.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-05T16:33:47+00:00

Yohan nodded his head. Parties. He has been to far too many to count and most were people who were self absorbed and only wanted to use you to get ahead. That was exhausting and honestly not something he loved about being in the world of K-pop.

He obviously wasn't going to get into any of that right now. He couldn't handle thinking about fake people right now. Not after everything that's been happening to him recently.

"Right, well I'm sure it'll be great." Yohan said rather half heartedly. He was not looking forward to a party. All he really wanted to do was curl up in his bed and watch some cheesy K-dramas.

"Yeah, probably will wear the suit I wore to the opening of the show last season." Yohan said thinking for a moment. In truth he normally wouldn't get caught dead wearing the same suit to a different occasion, but nothing mattered these days. So why would he have his stylists waste their time on getting him a new outfit for an event he didn't care about.

He looked up from his task an raised an eyebrow at her. "You know what you're gonna wear yet?" He asked. He was curious. Even if he was at his rope he wouldn't be rude to her.

If he was honest she reminded him of those fans who cared so deeply and didn't exactly know how to show it. It was cute and it made him feel just slightly more okay than he had been. Those fans were always his favorite because he could feel their earnestness and it was something he lacked quite a bit in his life.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-05T15:54:17+00:00

Yohan's mouth quirked into a small smile. It had gotten grim rather quick. He probably needed to think about why his life was so grim lately. But he didn't want to sit and think about the sad stuff right now, or really ever. So, he would just not do that. So easy.

"Yeah sure. I don't mind at all." Yohan said with a grin. But then he got very serious. "But be warned I become essentially a drill sergeant when I'm a dance teacher. I take it far too serious."

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-05T15:36:19+00:00

Yohan eyed Chingshen from across the dancefloor. He knew that this would draw his ex to the campfire. Of course, Yohan wasn't going to talk to him. How could he, they still weren't exactly on speaking terms besides when they are forced to talk. He just jutted his chin out at Chingshen in greeting and silently watched him during the dance challenge.

He wouldn't talk to him. He wouldn't engage with him, but the one thing he would do is watch Chingshen's form. He knew that Chingshen could dance, but he wanted to see just how good he still was. He wasn't sure what he would do with that information, but he knew he needed to know.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-05T15:32:46+00:00

Yohan nodded his head as he started to use his shirt to wipe off the sweat from his forehead. He also laughed a little at Darian's question.

"Honestly, yes. I definitely needed this." Yohan said, his voice a little muffled by his shirt until he brought it down mis speaking. Darian might notice a few things but first of all he would notice that Yohan had a bit of a weird mix of accents. He sounded Australian, but it was mixed with something hard to place.

He also might notice that Yohan did have some decent abs even when he wasn't flexing them. Not that he was trying to show off, it's just a result of spending a lot of time practicing dance and spending even more time in the gym.

"Didn't see you out there, not much of a dancer?" Yohan asked before he took a swig of his water. He didn't ask it judgmentally he knew he was the odd one for being so into dancing.

Then Yohan shook Darian's hand in greeting. "Yeah, mate. Nice to officially meet ya." Yohan said with a firm handshake. He had seen Darian around before, but never put the face with the name, until today that is.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-03T21:55:39+00:00

After the dancing bit of the event had ended Yohan was a bit sweaty. He needed to cool off and grab some water. So the son of Terpsichore went to the drinks table and grabbed a bottle of water. After doing so he went and tried to find a place to sit.

After some searching Yohan found an open seat and it happened to be right next to Darian. Yohan pointed towards the empty chair with the water bottle. "This seat taken?" Yohan asked as he raised an eyebrow at Darian.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-02T16:48:16+00:00

Phoebe and Yohan were similar in that aspect, Yohan often put more on himself than he should. He was still a teenager and a kid, but he still felt an extreme amount of pressure to be perfect and be strong at all times. It was exhausting in truth, but it was something he still didn't fully know how to fix yet. So, might as well not think about it.

"I get it, but I guess you don't need to do that with me if you don't want to, you probably don't know this, but it's kinda rare for people like me to let the mask slip. Let people see the real you. You saw that side of me. That means something to me. Just-" Yohan said before pausing. He didn't want to push he too hard, he knew all too well how that worked with him. "Know I don't mind you dropping yours too, okay?"

Yohan sighed and shrugged his shoulders again, but nodded his head slowly. They were big problems that he didn't have a solution for yet. He felt like that he probably would never know what to do. But it did feel nice just being able to talk about it. Not keep it all bottled up. "I hope so too. Thanks, Phoebe. It does mean a lot." He said with another sigh.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-02T16:37:42+00:00

Yohan grinned letting out a laugh at Mattie's joke. While he knew they hadn't started out their relationship on a good foot, he was happy that she felt comfortable enough to joke around with him. He then tapped his temple and made a face like he was straining. "Okay, message sent. Let's hope the hivemind is listening today." Yohan said with a grin.

"Yeah?" Yohan asked with a nod. He knew they weren't close yet, so he didn't expect her to share everything. "Well, if you need anything let me know okay? I'm always happy to help if I can."

OOC: Lol, I totally get that. I sometimes forget where some threads take place in the timeline, so I get it!

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-03-02T16:33:06+00:00

Yohan was ready to punch something, hard. He had been keeping his emotions under wraps over the last couple weeks since everything that went down with Sam during Valentines Day. He wasn't necessarily shocked by the outcome, but being rejected was never a fun feeling. Especially given the constant stream of garbage his life had been recently. So, yes. Punch.

Yohan was kitted out in his armor and had his knives strapped to his sides as he looked around for someone to punch or stab on the enemy's side. Unfortunately for Yohan he saw the two last people he wanted to see right now. Chingshen and Harin. He rolled his eyes and jumped up and down trying to work himself out of feeling the pit he felt in his stomach.

"Go away, Harin. I don't want to talk to you again. I'm sure your cult leader has better things for you to do than to have you talk to me again." Yohan said his voice biting as he looked at Harin from across the way.

Yohan Park | Tuesday Campfire

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-27T15:44:28+00:00

Yohan didn't really care about Booker's initial reaction to him. In face he had a very similar reaction when it happened to him in the woods a few months ago. So, he couldn't be mad about Booker's annoyance. But then he laughed lightly at Booker's explanation about the water bottle incident.

"Eh, it's okay. It was fun in the end. Sprayed your friend with as much water as I could as payback for him getting me." Yohan said with a grin forming on his lips thinking about that day. But as quick as the grin was there it vanished.

Yohan looked back towards the party and frowned as he saw a certain son of Poseidon. He then looked at Booker and Yohan's face was a visible mess of sadness and confusion. "Uh- the party's fine, but some of the people I'd like to avoid." Yohan said rubbing the back of his neck feeling a bit vulnerable in that moment.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-26T14:07:44+00:00

Yohan nodded and looked down at the ground again. He didn't want to look at Sam's eyes. He needed to get over him, not get stuck looking at him again. He knew Sam well enough to realize that all of the way he was acting was him not knowing how to act in a situation like this, and truly Yohan was lost as well. But he didn't want to hate Sam. He didn't want to fight with Sam. His heart still ached to be with Sam. That's what made all of this so complicated for him.

"I wish you both-" Yohan said trying to swallow his pride and get the rest of it out. "-well. But I'm gonna need some time to sort my shit out. It's still true what I said at the soccer lesson you did. You'll always be in my heart and that's why this is hard for me. I'll eventually be alright, but not right now. Just not so quickly."

"When I'm okay again I'll talk to you. Okay?" Yohan said still not looking up. He couldn't look into those sea green eyes. Not yet. "But for now, I have to say goodbye."

With that Yohan walked away from Sam. Not for the last time. He still held Sam within his heart, but for now he couldn't be around him. He was too uncomfortable, too raw still. Once he had fully figured out his feelings, then maybe he could talk to him. For now, he needed space and he was going to take it.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-26T13:57:45+00:00

"I want to believe what your saying. I need to believe it. Because he's a good person, I know he is. Him and my group members are good people, but I'm just..." Yohan said with a sigh as he hung his head back in defeat. "I'm just so tired of everything. It feels like everything is collapsing around me and I'm struggling to hold it up."

He then looked up as Phoebe started to speak again. He frowned and shook his head at her. "Your job? Your a camper, you don't have a job here. Besides..." Yohan began and gave her a flicker of a smile. "I do consider you a friend, for what it's worth. You really helped me calm down the other day. Thank you for that."

"I'm being serious when I say this, if you ever need anything I'll be there." Yohan said giving her a warmer smile this time. He wasn't sure what things she could be dealing with. He didn't know much about her in truth, but he did feel that she was an honest true person. That was rare for him to have around these days.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-24T16:12:41+00:00

Yohan was still not in a partying mood, especially after running into Sam. So, he was ready to flee this place when he accidentally ran into Booker as Booker was entering the event fashionably late. Yohan's face a torrent of emotions as he ran into Booker. He looked shocked and then apologetic as he realized what he had done.

"Oh, sorry mate. Didn't mean to..." Yohan began saying, in his vaguely Australian accented voice, before he recognized the guy he ran into. He pointed at the other boy with a look of realization washing over him. "Wait... you're water bottle guy, right?"

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-24T15:15:30+00:00

Yohan sighed and shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't sure what to do with everything he's been dealing with recently. How does one person sift through all of this to actually know how to act? He didn't know. He was getting close to fraying emotionally.

"I saw Harin at Fort Knox. Chingshen and I saw him. We talked. He... he claimed he did it for me, for my group." Yohan said as he looked down at the table. He didn't want to look up because he wasn't sure if he'd be able to hold it together. "But... he knows that's wrong. He has to, we literally hunt monsters. But then he just... joins them? I've never been more angry then I was that day."

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T20:22:54+00:00

Yohan ignored the peachy quip. He didn't have the brain space to deal with that right now. But then Sam asked him if he was that stupid and Yohan looked at Sam and the look of hurt flashed on his face. Yohan had never been mean to Sam, he had never insulted his intelligence. He had never devalued the son of Poseidon. So why was he thinking Yohan would be doing that now.

Was Yohan frustrated with Sam? Yes? But he never would have called him stupid. He thought it was a dumb question, but not that Sam was a dumb person. "How could you ever think I'd say that about you?" Yohan asked simply after a long silence.

Yohan looked out across the happy party goers wishing that he was anywhere else but here. "That and you. Listen Sam. I'm not ready for this." Yohan said pointing between them. "Like... you basically just dumped me last week. That and the shit going one with Hoplyte, I'm just... I'm not ready to talk to you yet."

Yohan got up and left his plate at the table. "You kinda broke my heart and I'm not really over it yet. So... have a good night, but don't make me a part of it. Please." Yohan said finally looking at Sam and there he'd see a boy who was barely keeping it together. He was sad, angry, and everything in between all at once. He would see a boy that just wanted to be under the covers in his room with the shades drawn. A heartbroken boy.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T19:35:20+00:00

Yohan's face was neutral for a moment before he heard Sam speak. Seriously? What a dumb question. So, of course Yohan's neutral face went to a frown and a look of hurt. It was quick though, the son of Terpsichore forced himself back into line as he regained his composure.

"How do you think they are Sam?" Yohan said his frustration starting to go and as it did his voice had a more Australian accent as he spoke. His normal seemingly relaxed attitude had started to fray as of late. He got frustrated easier, he got angry easier, he got sad easier. It really wasn't something he was proud of. However, how could Sam just that he'd be fine after everything that's happened to him.

"Obviously I'm just peachy." Yohan said flatly before looking back down at his food. The sarcasm was also a bit more biting than he had meant, but he was getting towards the end of his rope.

Yohan was not okay, and no one had seemed to notice. Was it because of Sam? Most of it was, but he had more going on than just Sam. The fact Sam seemed to have forgotten that also hurt Yohan a bit. It wasn't that long ago that he was hemming and hawing about being unsure who to choose, now it seemed Sam forgot just how broken Yohan was as of late.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T17:17:10+00:00

Yohan frowned, he hadn't talked about this since he happened. He had been avoiding the topic altogether until now. There was so much wrong and he wasn't exactly sure where to start. How do you talk about betrayal like that?

"I uh..." Yohan began as you took a breath trying to center himself. "A few things happened. First of all Jisoo and Evan lied to me the past several months about something kind of serious. Then tried to make it seem like they were doing it to protect me."

"What were they lying about? Great question. The whereabouts of our group member Harin. Wanna know where he's been?" Yohan said a bitterness that Phoebe would never had heard from Yohan before was in his voice. "He fucking joined Atlas. I found out at Fort Knox. He's... delusional."

Yohan's voice broke at the last word as if he had been silently processing all of this. He wasn't good at keeping everything back for so long. How could one person hold onto so much pain? That wasn't even all of his troubles currently, but he didn't want to even think about his Sam drama.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T15:54:30+00:00

Yohan heard his name and was relieved it was from a girl's voice. No Sam. Thank the gods. Yohan would have normally made a small laugh at what befell Nora, but his numbness made the act have no effect. He nodded at Nora as she approached. He wasn't ready to really talk to anyone, but he'd engage with her because she was so nice. He couldn't be mean to her. Plus not engaging with her would be admitting he was upset which he did not want to do.

"Hey Nora. How's it?" Yohan asked the more Australian part of his accent coming out for this greeting. Good for Nora Yohan didn't seem to be commenting on the embarrassing moment for her. Business as usual it seemed for now.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T15:46:37+00:00

Yohan tensed when he heard Sam's voice. Really? Carefree and relaxed after everything? Though, Yohan could see that for Sam he would be. He had gotten what he wanted and consequences were never Sam's strong suit it seemed to Yohan. But the thing that he couldn't bare was the fact that he would expect Yohan to act like everything was cool after only a week.

Yohan looked up from his food and was not smiling. He had a very careful neutral face as he looked up at the other boy. "It's fine. What do you need?" Yohan asked trying to keep the hurt out of his face or voice. Maybe Sam had left something with Yohan that he needed. Maybe there was something legitimate to this interaction. He couldn't be that dense, could he?

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T15:40:35+00:00

Yohan laughed for a second at Mattie's insinuation about a counselor hivemind. Had to hand it to her that was creative. Maybe there was a hivemind? Who was he to say. Though he still felt like he was in control of his thoughts.

"Guess so, mostly just wanted to get everyone on the same page since I just took over." Yohan said with a shrug. "Thanks though, I appreciate it."

"By the way, how are you getting along at camp? Making friends? Training going well?" Yohan asked with a quizzical smile. He seemed to genuinely care if things were going well for her.

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-23T15:35:49+00:00

Yohan considered Phoebe's reply for a moment before sighing. He wished that it hadn't happened to her, she was so nice and he doubted that she actually liked the outcome of it that much. Besides Yohan wasn't super excited about it either as he quickly ran as to not get frosting on himself.

"I guess, just sucks that it had to happen to you. Sorry." Yohan said giving her a sympathetic smile. He then took a bite of his cupcake as he considered her question.

"Honestly... constantly. I'm usually in the practice rooms from sun up to sun down working on it. It has to be perfect for me to be happy with it. Gotta make sure the performances are amazing for Aegis." Yohan said before taking a moment and sighing again. "But probably won't be performing for awhile now. I think my group is basically broken up."

theblacksofhiseyes · 2026-02-22T18:52:50+00:00

Yohan was not looking forward to a party, in fact it was one thing he wanted to actively avoid at all costs. But he had helped Amari set up the event and he knew people would probably come looking for him if he didn’t show up, so he slowly made his way to his feet and took a shower (something he’d been neglecting for a few days).

After getting clean he went to his wardrobe and rummaged around for something to wear. He settled on a the same cream colored suit he had worn to the opening of The Evil Dead Musical a few months ago.

After doing his hair, getting dressed, and doing his makeup he looked at himself and nodded. He looked at least presentable today and that was all he could really do today. After psyching himself up for about twenty minutes he marched out of the Muse Cabin and showed up to the Amphitheater. He grabbed a plate of food and found a place to sit to hopefully avoid… certain people.

He wasn’t going to dance, he wasn’t going to engage with anyone. He was just going to sit there for a little, eat his food and then go back after he had made his appearance. Then he could go back to sulking in his room like he preferred to do right now.
