DO YOU EVEN LIFT, BRO?      、  @cherrylgc   .

adrenaline lives and breathes through these veins, streams of sweat spill from his hairline, falling off the tip of his nose and dribble down against the sleek cut of his jaw. he supposes the last few months he’s been taking it easy if just a simple hiit exercise like this one had him pooling in his own sweat as quickly as the instructor could count one-two. he drops a towel to his head, instantly scrubbing the wet mop to an at least damp heap, instead. the uptake of his interval training wasn’t too hard to keep up with — honestly, he was just glad that the brunt of his workout routine already matched up well with the recommended regimen they were to undergo during this pre-production phase.  taking a walk around the facility, towel languidly drawn over his head as he took sips from his water jug, he eyes a familiar girl by the corner — fiddling with the weight rack.  “now, this is something you don’t see everyday. you getting your reps in?” not to sound completely gym-bro, he drops his towel to his shoulders. “is this your poison?” he taps the rack with his bottle. 

being on the acting path was far different from what cherry had expected. for some reason she thought they’d just do regular acting training and she would be a great actress in a few months. instead she’d originally learned voice acting, then been on a variety show and now she was learning gun safety and stunt training. thinking about it, it does make sense to learn, she just hadn’t expected it.

she’s lucky that she knows some of the people in project aka, else she would’ve been forced to learn this by herself. she’s working hard, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

“i’m attempting work out, but i think last time i worked out was” she thinks “never”. “unless you count dance practice as a trainee, but i sucked total ass at that” she shrugs. “you look like you’ve fallen into a pool” she says standing up, “i’m trying protein powder but i think i like regular water better if i’m honest”.

yet, she's then being handed gifts and while yes, areum recognized it was hypocritical, she wants to urge that cherry didn't need to get her anything. however, she manages to bite her tongue as the gift bag is handed off – and she gives cherry a soft smile. " you're too sweet, " she says instead. " did you paint this yourself ? " she asks, examining the mug as she glanced over at her girlfriend for an answer. in the same breath, she opens the jewelry box to reveal a gold bracelet. she can't help the quiet gasp that escapes her as she examines it, before glancing back up to cherry – " can you put it on me ? " she asks, head quirking to the side in question. " i've always been too uncoordinated to put bracelets on myself, " she admits sheepishly.

sometimes cherry figures that the universe is testing their relationship. they went from living together to both be busy as hell, often communicating more through texts and calls than face to face. it’s hard, it’s truthfully hard how little cherry gets to see her girlfriend, ideally she’d see her every second of the day. but it also just proves how strong their relationship is, cherry is pretty sure that whatever gets thrown their way they’ll be able to handle. and cherry sometimes thinks it’s a test, the universe testing how much they love each other, and that if they pass by all these hardships eventually cherry will wake up every morning and be greeted by her girlfriend’s face.

“a couple’s ring?” she looks at the ring before returning to look at areum, the smile so big on her face she wonders if she’s ever smiled this big before. “i more than love them”. “now i can wear something and think about you every time i look at it, if i’m feeling down or acting practice is hard, all i have to do to cheer myself up is look at the rings” why is her heart beating so fast? “do you want to put it on me?” she asks, “i love you too”.

“my friend is a professional pottery maker or whatever you call it, they helped me create the mug and then i painted it myself, not exactly the best painter, but i wanted to give you something unique that no one else has” she smiles at the other. “it took me ages to pick out a bracelet, it just feels like nothing is good enough for my girlfriend” she chuckles. “yes of course” she grabs the bracelet and then grabs the other’s hand to pull it closer. “two years, can you believe it?” she puts the bracelet on the other “there’s probably going to go some time before we live together again, but, i think our relationship can handle anything” she looks up at the other, smile on her lips.

ouch!

cherry had found herself so much inside lately, either at the legacy building practicing acting, or in her own apartment. it was kind of all she was doing, the most outside she was was going between her apartment and the legacy building. cherry had always been fond of being outside, so it was weird how little she was outside lately. as she was in her apartment playing with her hamster, she realized it, why had she been so little outside lately?

so she’d dragged ryan along to go for a walk outside. “so? what are the trainees at legacy doing right now?” she’d realized, now that neither her or her girlfriend were trainees anymore, she didn’t really know what the trainees were doing. she looks up “look it’s a squirrel” she smiles. “ouch!” and down the squirrel drops a pinecone, and not only does it hit cherry, it gets stuck in her hair as well. “uh… ryan? i can’t get it out”.

swinging too hard

living alone had it’s positives and negatives. cherry loved having her own place, it was nice being able to invite friends over whenever, or have a place where just she could be alone, it was especially nice having a place where her and her girlfriend could spend time without the fear of rumours or such. but a negative to living alone was that there was no one to cook for cherry. she wasn’t good at cooking, she was actually terrible, so while living alone she mainly ordered take away or ate something she could find in seven-eleven. she wanted to get better at cooking, even though she had sucked her whole life.

“thanks for going to the grocery store with me” she says, holding a single bag and forcing seyoon to carry the rest. “i want to get better at cooking and baking, so i bought ingredients to force myself to cook so it won’t be a waste of food” she shrugs, swinging the bag she’s holding. “do you think i can learn to cook? even though i’m twenty-three now?”.

splash! she’s swung the bag too hard and down drops the milk, landing on the ground and spraying everywhere “oops?”.

where is berry

cherry was very excited to get her own apartment once again. she’d loved living in the legacy dorms and having roommates, but she’d missed having her own place (though she wishes she didn’t live alone but with her girlfriend). she’d lived alone for half a year though, and her apartment still lacked… everything? her couch was still just a mattress on the floor, and her closet was just the boxes she used to move her clothes with, her decorations were a sad plant and a single poster of crystallis. and what did she do instead of buying the furniture she needed? she bought a hamster of course.

happiness wise, the hamster probably won over having furniture, but cherry couldn’t quite control herself, buying the hamster new things constantly, she loved that little thing, which is why she feels so terrible now. her hamster has a hamster ball it usually runs around in, but cherry hasn’t seen her hamster in quite a bit of time, she’s looked for it, but with no luck, so she’s called a friend to help.

“thank you so much for coming” she says as she opens the door “i’m panicking, i can’t find berry anywhere, please help me look”.

sweet or spicy

as much as cherry was excited to once again have her own apartment (though it lacked very badly in furniture), it could get boring to live alone. yes she had visitors, but majority of the time when she was in her apartment she was alone. that had changed recently, as she’s bought a hamster, and though she spends a lot of time with that hamster, she can still find herself bored in her apartment. so she tries to find new hobbies, but she sucks at everything, so that isn’t too fun.

she’s not a good baker nor chef, she usually lives off of take out and whatever she can find in seven-eleven, but lately she’s tried her best to gain the skills of being able to cook and bake. and she’s done something successfully.

her bored brain thinks a lot, and it comes up with a idea, though it’s not april fools, she’ll be attempting to prank a friend. she carefully thinks about it, who and how. she does what she needs to do, and the next day she shows up with a box with two cupcakes in, searching for her target. 

“minjun! just the person i was looking for” she smiles at the other, “i made you a cupcake!” she holds up the box, the smile remaining on her lips as she opens it. “it’s with strawberry” or, one is with strawberry, the other is with chili, haha, wait… which is which? cherry looks down into the box for a few seconds before deciding, handing one to minjun and taking a bite of the other. she chose wrong. she drops the cupcake “ah! why did i make it so spicy?!”.

good with kids

cherry had been enjoying her walks alone lately. she was usually a person who needed to be around someone constantly, not really enjoying the feeling of being alone, but something in the acting path had made that change. she was still a social butterfly who loved talking to others, but now she didn’t mind practicing her acting by herself or going for walks by herself. she’s still stupid of course, and doesn’t know how to dress for the weather, so she’s freezing cold.

something warm grabs her hand though, for a second she’s enjoying it, then she’s confused, she looks down to find a young child holding her hand and staring up at her. “i’m lost, please help me find my dad” comes from the kid “uh… yeah sure”.

they walk around for a while when cherry finally spots something, no it’s not the father, it’s jiho, someone who to cherry seems far better with kids, so she’s quick to head his way. “this child is lost” she says upon arrival in front of the other. “please help” she adds.

what an idiot

from an outer perspective it’s funny and comedic the situations cherry gets into. she would probably be a pretty good reality star, she has one of the traits: dumb. is she clumsy, is she dumb, is it a mix of both? friends and family has often been needed to get her out of dumb situations, like now.

she would’ve originally called her girlfriend, but she knew areum was busy right now, so she searched through her phone for someone else to call, landing on sehun. it was a simple message “help, i’m stuck, come over please, my apartment code is: ####”. and where exactly was she stuck? under her bed…

placed a heavy box on top of her bed, crawled under bed to get something, big heavy box falls down and she can’t push it away, so, she’s trapped.

to sehun → please tell me you’re here soon

EVENT: HALLOWEEN 2K24 POST TYPE: STARTER FOR @cherrylgc TITLE: FOOD HUNTERS

"found another one!" milan exclaims as she reaches cherry, proudly presenting her an appetizer on a napkin. "the waiter said this one is called bru… brushi… bruchat…" she frowns. "anyway! its italian; grilled bread with a tomato salsa. he said it kind of sweet too? and it smells good." the last part comes from her, not the waiter. honestly, when milan came to greet cherry, she couldn't have guessed that she would be roped into helping the model hunt all the food served at the venue. and damn there's a lot. some on tables, some on waiters' plates, and some being replaced. but truth be told, this little adventure has also become a challenge for herself. gotta catch them all, as they say (even if her choosen faction is super smash bros). it also serves the purpose of being seen with food by everybody, even if she has barely tasted any. advanced tactics. "did you find anything else?"

cherry was quite excited for the halloween party, it was probably one of her favourite events at legacy. and their parties were always so unique, never was a halloween party the same as last year’s. she was a bit sad that there wasn’t going to be pulled any pranks, but she was still excited, searching for cards and chatting. at the moment though? she was eating.

she’d picked pokemon as her chosen faction, but she was too busy to play at the moment, why? because she was eating. lately her dinners had been quite boring as she had no idea how to cook, so she ordered food or went to seven-eleven, getting real food here was amazing. “eh! just how many snacks is there” she takes the food “not that i’ll complain” she says before taking a bite. “they had some cupcakes decorated as pumpkins, if you haven’t tried them yet, you totally should”.

   BANG BANG! | @cherrylgc   

han rowon is not showing off. okay, that’s a lie. he is showing off. just a little. in his humble defense, it’s his first project so he has to make a good impression. … only, he’s not showing off to the ones that matter ( the coordinators, the creative directors, the crew — just to name a few ). no, his little tricks are for his fellow co-stars, and cherry happens to be his select audience for the day. they’ve bumped into each other a few times before ( quite literally, with the last ending in a full face-plant ), and while they’ve successfully avoided a collision thus far, their luck remains fickle. he’s slinging a fake gun around in a flashy manner. a back catch here, an over-the-head toss there — all on point until he takes a glimpse in cherry’s direction to see what she’s up to. the gun flies out of his grasp and smacks him squarely in the chest. he plays it off cool. “what, you think you can do better?” he offers her the gun to try.

sure, being on the acting path is fun, but oh. my. god. is there a lot to learn. it’s true to say that cherry had no idea what she walked into when she joined the acting path, she has no regrets, but the acting path keeps surprising her. from having her learn voice acting to practicing stunts and now strength training. cherry had hoped for a bigger role, though not surprised she didn’t get one, still, she should attempt her best.

“in the time that you threw that gun around i could’ve kicked you in the balls and won a fight against you” she shrugs “maybe you looked a liiiitle cool, but with our roles do you think we’ll be doing all that?” she shakes her head, though a smile remains on her lips. “i’m not sure you’ll pass the gun safety certification with all that”, “but also, i don’t know why we’re all forced to learn that”. 

“look there!” she points somewhere, grabbing the fake gun in her pocket but dropping it on the floor immediately “hm, i think both of us need to continue practicing”.

hit and kick

the adventures of kim cherry - season 3, episode 1

cherry is quite happy that her channel remains alive. though cherry loves acting, hosting and variety shows remain number one in her heart. it’s a bit unbelievable to think about how far she’s come, from guesting on someone’s vlive show to her own youtube show, podcast and then youtube channel. and her youtube channel had survived for a while now, the third season of her show now coming. she’s about to turn on the camera, unsure if she should prepare something or just go into it like she always does… random it is!

she steps out of frame, turns on the camera while it’s still not able to capture her, and then she rolls in, landing a bit uncomfortably but still managing to quickly stand up. “i’m pretty sure anyone can guess what we’ll be doing today” she looks down at herself, a taekwondo suit on “but i’ll still do my little introduction anyway” she shrugs. “hello everybody! and welcome to the third season of the adventures of kim cherry, yep, the show has survived through three trimesters now, i’ve gathered some amazing things to try this season, so i hope you’ll tune in for every episode!”. she claps “hello this is your host, kim cherry, who of course cherish you all, welcome to episode one, season three, where we’ll well” she gestures down at her outfit “it’s time for a taekwondo episode!”.

“to help me today, i have a friend who has a black belt in taekwondo to help me, he will be remaining anonymous, he’ll be wearing a mask, and said he doesn’t want his name spoken so i’ve decided to call him bob, because that’s the first name that came to mind” she shrugs. “he’ll be out of frame as this is an episode about, well, me, but i still want to thank him for helping”. 

“i usually don’t get hurt in my videos, but i think this might be as catastrophic as my skateboard video, where i fell about a hundred times and my butt hurt for weeks”. “there is a mat on the floor, so if i fall which i probably will, i am not getting hurt. “as bob is out of frame, we will not be fighting each other or whatever you call it, but he’ll show me kicks which i will then attempt to copy, so? let’s go! this can’t go too wrong, right?”. 

“so what will we be starting with bob?”, “okay uhm, not sure how to do that”... the video pauses and a video shows up on the screen showing the kick with the title: “front kick”. “sure i’ll attempt that” and so she attempts “that looked pretty similar, didn’t it?” the video stops once again, this time playing a side by side video, one side with cherry’s kick and the other with the video of a professional taekwondo master doing the kick. “no? it wasn’t good?” she turns to look at the camera “is this going to be another video where i fail at the same thing a million times? man, i’m getting flashbacks from the skateboard video". “oh well, guess it’s time for attempt two? she attempts again “how was that?” once again, the video pauses, this time showing a side by side video of cherry’s first and second kick, showing that the first time was actually better. “i think it’s time for anyone watching the video to bet, how many times will it take me to learn the first kick?”. 

the video cuts into four frames, each of cherry attempting the kick, the first video plays followed by a score showing up saying “4/10”, the second plays with “4/10” again, the third plays with “4/10” again while the last shows a score of “1/10”. “man who knew kicking was this hard?” cherry says, shaking her head. “oh well, bob is gesturing me to come over, i’ll be right back!” cherry leaves the frame, the video speeds up while waiting music plays, cherry then finally returns. “bob gave me some one-on-one training, though i guess that’s what we’ve been doing all along but… let’s see the kick!” she kicks, the video pausing when her leg is the highest, a score once again showing up, this time saying “10/10”. “eh!? i did it?!” cherry looks around, “one down! uhm, how many to go?” she turns to look at bob “he’s holding up three fingers so i guess… three to go?”. 

the words ‘subtle foreshadowing’ shows up on the video, a very short clip of cherry falling showing before it cuts quickly to cherry attempting another kick, “this kick is called side kick, and i’ll be doing it on my first attempt!” she does the kick, kinda, but falls as her legs go up. “still hurts less than the skateboarding video” she yells as she remains on the floor. she stands up “hopefully that’ll be my only time falling”, the video speeds up, and a counter shows up, counting every time cherry falls, the video finally goes back to normal speed, “9 falls” remaining on the screen. “right now i almost prefer the skateboarding…” she says. “can we do another kick? an easier one?”. “eh! he’s playing on his phone! did you give up on me?” she yells, she then returns her look to the camera “he nodded…”. “i’m giving up on that kick… but i’ll find a video of another clip and teach it to myself!”. the video speeds up and the waiting music returns. 

“45- degree kick! are you ready to see me master that?” she kicks, immediately falling. “well, it’s come to my realization that the first kick is the only one i’ll ever know” she shrugs. “i think this is enough taekwondo for today… who knows maybe i’ll attempt again in the future, probably not…”. “are you ready for the coolest outro of the show so far?”. she kicks the front kick, the only one she managed to learn, the clip pauses when her leg is at the highest and the ‘kung fu fighting’ song by carl douglas plays.

lgcminkyu

The drawing on the ground looks absolutely nothing like him, and the expression that spreads across his face is one of pure offense—not playful, not exaggerated, but utterly genuine. His hand presses dramatically against his chest, his breath drawn in sharply, as if truly appalled by the injustice. How could someone as handsome as him be reduced to such a caricature? His eyes widen in disbelief, a small, wounded frown forming on his lips. "I fear your sense of judgment is nonexistent if you think a dashing lad like me resembles that," he declares, his voice touched with indignation, lips now pursed into a sulk. The fact that they’re both actors, or how childishly absurd the moment is, doesn’t matter in the slightest. All he cares about is, "Fix it. Make it more realistic!"

cherry is far from someone that gets easily irritated, still, this person stepped on her drawing and her emotions immediately turned to annoyance and irritated. everybody else had been able to walk around her drawings, so why couldn’t he? perhaps it wasn’t on purpose, but it was still incredibly annoying.

“maybe your eyes just don’t work old man!” she says, unsure whether he is older than her or not “this looks exactly like you, anyone could see that”. she rolls her eyes “you want it fixed? more realistic?”. she grabs another colour of chalk, drawing hair on the money “more realistic now! it has your stupid hair”.

[cherrylgc]

ideas and suggestions

"listen to me, and i thank you"

...

cherry couldn’t help but be a bit nervous about all of this, she still wasn’t the best actor and her modeling skills also still weren’t the best. she’d been put in a group with people she didn’t know and had been given a movie she had never seen. the other two seemed skilled, and she figures seunghyun could create something amazing for the photoshoot and eunwoo could create something amazing for the filming of the iconic scenes. but though she knew they were skilled and could possibly get through this without her help, she still wanted to help.

she hadn’t had the time yet to actual see the movie, but she’s hurried through watching clips from the movie. she didn’t want eunwoo to do the job alone, and though she’d gladly listen to suggestions from seunghyun, eunwoo and cherry were the actors here.

“there’s a fighting scene in the movie” she starts, why is she nervous? cherry isn’t nervous, she’s quick to say what she wants to say, still, she’s afraid they’ll turn her ideas down immediately, she’s expecting the worst, that they’ll call her stupid or ignore her words, she’s expecting the worst even though she’s pretty sure they won’t react like that. “i’ve been practicing fake fighting and such lately, so i’d feel comfortable doing such scene, i could even help learn the two of you fake fight” she runs a hand through her blonde hair “however, we’re just three people, the original fighting scene had way more people, so if we choose to do the fighting scene, we’ll have to change some things” she shrugs.

“there’s also the scene where they taste test chicken, i won’t mind doing that” she chuckles, though there’s seriousness in her voice. “there’s a lot of great scenes, but those were my suggestions, what are you two thinking?”.

[cherrylgc]

the countdown for fall was upon them all in Korea, and yujin was trying to live outside before the warm weather disappeared and was replaced by snow. the long days summer held was her favorite, other than the warm weather. the pure happiness of others created such a welcoming vibe that it was the only season yujin looked forward to wholeheartedly. the two blondes wouldn't get another chance like this to freely sit on a blanket and enjoy the beautiful weather they were blessed with today. while fussing with the wrapper of her popsicle, she listened closely to what cherry had to say. there was no hiding the smile that spread across her lips to the pure joy of finally being somewhere you belonged in their careers. "oh? I'm so happy for you! i feel like everyone we have been training with is slowly going into their paths, it makes me happy but also missing the nostalgia just a little bit." she giggled. "I would kill for my apartment right now. I have been in the dorm my whole trainee life, and now my idol career is kind of sad, so I will stop by a lot more often just to get a break. do you have any ideas for decorations?" yujin sat back in her hand, taking her first lick while glancing off at the small crowd around them. "the only thing going for me is another comeback! we're also preparing for the family concert, which has always been my favorite concert to participate in."

though cherry loved every season, she already knew now that she would miss summer. it was just such an amazing season, the enjoyable cold food and snacks, the beach, cherry’s outfits looking better because they weren’t covered by a big jacket. but cherry was curious what was in store for her, and though she didn’t want summer to be over, she couldn’t way for it to be over and see what the next trimester in the acting path had in store for her.

“it felt a bit weird when the people i had been trainees with would debut and i was stuck in the trainee path, but now i’m one of those people who has figured out what they want as well” cherry had seen fellow trainees join the acting or model path or debuting as idols, and she couldn’t help but wonder when it was her turn, now, it was her turn. “no ideas for my apartment to be honest… when it’s my birthday my dad will help me with buying a tv… i want to get something on my walls, but i’m not sure what… hey! if you can get me a crystallis poster, i’ll hang it up” she shows the other a smile. “ooh? another comeback? i’m excited, i’ll be sure to tune in”.
