Your name is Travis-King Minor. Yes, that's a hyphernated first name. You usually just go by TK. You're a decent all-round guy, but While you may be highly intellectual and kind-hearted, you are also incredibly patronizing and pretentious. This has made it difficult for you to obtain friends, though there are a select few that choose to put up with you. As much as you tried not to let the whole 'rich boy' thing get to your head, as nice as you try to be, it's pretty clear it's still made you a bit of a prat.
Your interests include caffine, literature, and baking. You are also quite absorbed into the idea of aliens. You’re 99% sure there is something else out there, there has to be. Your boyfriend is more of a realist and thinks your obsession is silly, but you love the idea of extraterrestrial life. You're a bit obsessed with it, actually. Most are surprised about this as you don't make it obvious, but you've got so much alien stuff in your house.
Speaking of your house, despite your high standards for personal hygiene, your house is always a mess. Have you ever cleaned it? Probably not. You’re a bit of a slob. Hell, occasionally you find old food in-between your couch cushions. Your boyfriend is always nagging you to clean it.
You lead an easy life and got pretty much everything handed to you. Unlike your brother, you've tried earning a living on your own, and are now the proud owner of a small bakery. It's been your dream to run one, and you've also managed to rope your BF into helping run the place. It's your pride and joy.
Travis is a smart-ass who always needs to join in on a conversation, whether he's actually included or not. He loves riling up Alicia, just to get her to bite back at him with insults he can laugh at later. Depending on how much he likes you, he can either be incredibly kind and funny, or a bit of an asshole. He's usually generally pretty easy going and chill, so it's not too hard to get along with him, but a surprising amount of people simply can't mesh with him.
While he's incredibly intellectual, he's also very slow in the sense that it takes him awhile to actually understand some things. He’s incredibly dense as well, which tends to annoy others. His intelligence is also odd, as he probably can't do quick basic addition in his head without thinking about it first, but can easily do long division in that way.
He's very lazy, and even though he's rich he doesn't spend much. His house is decently clean enough (when his boyfriend makes him clean), but by basic standards it’s still quite messy. He can't really be bothered doing anything about it, really.
Travis is overall, kind and thoughtful - negatives aside. He always puts others before himself and will do anything to make sure his friends and happy and comfortable. He loves baking his friends over-the-top cakes and the like (akin to wedding-style cakes or expensive, fancy bakery treats) just for fun, and to make them smile. He’s very empathetic and is always there to be a shoulder to cry on or someone to vent to.
Sometimes, when he's waiting for Seichi to get home from work, he'll either bake him something fancy or sit in front of the TV squirting frosting into his mouth while watching infomercials. At 3am. He's a huge sook and absolutely goes above and beyond for him, to the point of sacrificing sleep so he can give him a kiss once he gets home from his nightshift. Being able to get married and have a family is his ultimate goal, and he can't wait until that can happen.
Travis 5’11” in height and has an average build for a male, being a typical broad shouldered, inverted triangle style body type with nice legs. He’s got a square jaw and obvious cheekbones – and is regularly compared to a Greek god or Greek statue due to his appearance. His hair is light, somewhat shaggy, curly, and is blonde. He may or may not wear his glasses.
His fashion sense is either somewhat hipster-esque, or he enjoys wearing open button-down tops, with the top few buttons always unbuttoned. He always wears these with black jeans usually, and white or black sneakers depending on the outfit. Examples of his fashion sense can be found here.

- Travis doesn’t really care for the high and glamourous lifestyle his money could have bought him, instead he much preferred to continue buying a cheap lifestyle and doesn’t really enjoy spending his money at all. He'll wear nice clothes, but they're typically inexpensive.
- He actually hates the bitter taste of coffee and drinks it with at least five to six sugars and half milk. He finds it weirdly amusing whenever he makes coffee with Danielle as she has it black with no sugar. He’s impressed, he has no idea how anyone could stomach coffee like that.
- He has a entire fridge and pantry dedicated to his baking. There's nothing in the fridge except for completed baked goods, chocolate, and the like, and the pantry is full of things like flour, sprinkles, and food colouring.
- While Travis is a master baker, he can’t seem to wrap his head around cooking savory food. He just can’t do it. He usually either burns it, undercooks it, or just straight up butchers recipes. He just doesn’t really bother with cooking anything savoury anymore, he usually just orders take out of microwavable frozen stuff.
- When he was getting close to his first crush at a party when he was thirteen, he had drank too much and vomited on him. Not his proudest moment. Safe to say the other boy never talked to him again.
- Most people don't actually know that he has an older sister, and are always surprised to find out that he isn't the oldest one in the family and is instead the second child. Given the loving nickname 'baby bro' from his sister.
- Travis and Seichi have been in a relationship (been 'canon') in real time for almost six years!
Where all we do is fake our feelings
I've been scared to put myself so out there
Time is running out, yeah, need to let you know that
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds❜❜
(John Bellion - 'Woke The Fuck Up')
Travis had a pretty cruisy life. Good looks, good grades, rich background. He travelled to Australia from the UK when he was about twelve, before he started highschool. He immediately got close with a rowdy girl called Rina who was the daughter of his mother's friend - who they moved nearby to. He was quick to get out into the community with volunteering as he was always one to help others, and when he saw an online advertisement made by a woman called Helen looking for someone fluent in Korean to teach two young boys English, he jumped at the opportunity. He was a language fan, and enjoyed studying them in his spare time. By this point he was fluent in three languages, being English, French, and coincidentally - Korean. He called her as soon as he could, a little nervous she may reject him due to how young he was. Thankfully, she was overjoyed and invited him over at the soonest convenience (of course, after talking to his mother).
He taught the boys as well as he could, refusing pay from Helen. He had his challenges with them as they were both very mentally unwell and because they spoke North Korean, which was a fair bit different to the South Korean he was knowledgeable in. Despite all that, he was patient and formed a close bond with one of the boys, Jaehyuk. The other happened to grow closer to his younger brother, Caleb.
When they all started highschool (the two boys he was tutoring starting a late by a few weeks), Jae got quite attached to him and they eventually started dating. It wasn't meant to be, however, as TK realised his attraction to the boy was purely platonic and Jae mistaked his feelings as love when it was just the fact that he had never had a close friend before. They ended up breaking up on good terms, but Jae's alter, Rahart, still quite liked the other boy and got a little snappy with him for awhile. TK never took it personally and gave him his space.
He eventually properly fell for the nerdy boy in his math class, Seichi, when he was fourteen. Around him he went from incredibly extroverted to shy, with the inability to talk without stuttering. He tried getting to know him in their classes, but it never really worked out as Sei was pretty focused on his work and was very socially awkward, not knowing why the 'prettiest boy' in his grade was trying to talk to him. He truthfully thought that TK was trying to poke fun at him.
The next year, 10th grade, TK finally got the chance to get to know him better when their friendship groups seemed to merge. They ended up sitting together at lunch as a result, and Sei grew to realise the 'popular asshole' trait didn't apply to everyone (though his best friend Alicia would beg to differ). He started to really enjoy his company. Both of them were too shy to ask the other out though, espcially since Sei was in complete denial of his feelings. Because while Travis was openly gay, he was still very much in the closet.
Thankfully, they ended up sharing a very romantic kiss in the school's bathroom the year later when he gave Sei $300 towards a new laptop. Young love. Beautiful. Definitely a story to tell the kids.
Now they've graduated and are still very happy together. TK has invested in his own bakery (after saving from being an exotic dancer in a strip club for the last four years), and Sei is making his own as a computer scientist (though sometimes being convinced to help out in the bakery). TK plans on asking him to marry him once he feels they're old enough and has been welcomed into Sei's family with open arms. When they're in their 30s, they adopt a young boy called Harrison, which completes their family.
TK and Sei are like two peas in a pod and compliment each other very nicely and are always there for each other. He cares for Sei very much and would do anything to make sure he’s happy and healthy, always putting him before himself. They've never had an argument, have complete trust in one another, and are generally incredibly content with their relationship.
Travis and Caleb have never really gotten along. They always bicker and fight, and it unfortunately didn't ease up as they grew older - if anything it got worse. TK thinks Caleb is a lazy brat, and Caleb is just... him. TK never loses his cool, but he certainly does on the regular around his brother. Sei was in complete shock seeing him like that for the first time as he'd never even heard TK raise his voice letalone get angry or yell. It's commonplace in that household, however. If their relationship was summed up in two vines it would be this and this.
Rina and TK clicked pretty much instantly the first time they met and they’ve been joined at the hip ever since. The two of them are pretty similar in personality and they’re always bickering and teasing each other in typical friendly banter. She calls him a dumbass, he calls her a bitch, they laugh. Normal best friend stuff. Even when not everything is jokes and silliness, the two are quick to confide in their problems to each other and each is a shoulder for the other to cry on should they ever need it. Their friendship is incredibly strong and they’ll stay friends for life.
Jaehyuk and Travis still get along quite well and are often seen hanging out despite the fact that they had an incredibly awkward highschool relationship. They don’t really have much in common, but they still find all sorts of things to talk about. Jaehyuk especially likes it when Travis teaches him about baking. Jae’s still quite cuddly with him, but Sei doesn’t mind and knows that it’s how he expresses himself.
Travis feels terrible for how the break up went with Rahart, but can’t really talk to him or understand his feelings because Rahart would rather not bring it up as he truthfully still feels quite embarrassed for how childish he was about the whole thing. Despite Rahart still having lingering feelings for TK, they've patched their friendship and are back to enjoying each others' company.
Contrary to popular belief, Travis doesn’t actually mind Alicia all that much. He knows she has good qualities and is just protective of Seichi and is a little high-strung. He does hold a decent amount of respect for her, but she also absolutely annoys him with her constant grumbling, bickering, and general ‘I hate your guts’ attitude that she seems to have. If she’s an ass to him, he’s one in return. If she’s being decent with him for once, he’s decent in return. She gets what she gives, as far as he cares.
TK and Danielle get along pretty well and have never had any problems. They’re both pretty formal and polite with one another, and they got to know each other back when he was visiting her younger brothers and teaching them English. They read together and discuss what they’ve read recently, almost like a one-on-one book club. They also simply like to talk with each other about their day and general lives and relationships. He often seeks out her company when he wants to relax and have civil conversation.
Further on in his life, Travis adopted a seven year old boy called Harrison. Harri didn't grow up comfortably, being tossed from one foster home to the next. TK and Sei were both smitten with him at first sight and were incredibly excited to take him home after a lot of paperwork. Harri was so happy to be in a stable home with people who actually wanted him around, and TK is a very doting father towards him and is always there for him in any way that he can be.
