hello friends! i’m here to bring you some news. after my recent hiatus i’ve realized that my muse for sophie lately has been basically non-existent, which is probably due to the fact that this is an idol rp and sophie... doesn’t want to be an idol. it seems like she doesn’t really have a purpose in the rookiesverse, so unfortunately i’ll be dropping her. ic-wise, i think south korea was a bit too much of a culture shock for sophie and so she’s decided to go back to her home sweet home and continue her studies and life there, so she’ll still be available as a non-pc character if anyone wants to use her as such.

ooc-wise, i’m still here with my lovely jisu (who does want to be an idol) so if any of you guys currently threading/plotting with me on sophie would like to continue plotting with me, please like this post/message me on that account!! on other news, with coronavirus rampant around spain, i’m confined home and jobless currently so i have loaaaads of time to plot and thread with jisu!

rksungmin‌:

Even if he was now a singed trainee, he would always be a member of 6tunes. He attended rehearsals as he always did. He had promised the group that things wouldn’t change too much and he was determined to keep his promise, no matter how hard it would be.

Sophie had always been the member he was the least close to, despite her being so close with Yena. Still, she was part of their weird little family and he would always hold a place for her as he did with the rest of the members. That’s why he was able to approach her so calmly.

She was the one who caused him the most stress alongside his sister. Both were the youngest and seemed to enjoy testing his patience. Still, he often found their antics amusing and mirrored their personalities. He laughed slightly at her joke despite still feeling bad for having to leave the band. ❝ Even if I left I’m still your oppa so you gotta do what I say, ❞ he smirked playfully. Even though he was serious, he had a playful side. He raised an eyebrow at her last comment and shook his head playfully. ❝ I’m sure she’s around here somewhere. I’m surprised she’s not with you actually. ❞

irony and sarcasm had always been part of sophie. perhaps it was the british side of her, that characteristic humour that seemed to just be embedded in every single aspect of the culture, but in any case, it was something that had always characterized her, that cheeky sense of humour, always pushing the boundaries. of course, puns were always an integral part of her humour too, but irony and sarcasm were just her default response to pretty much anything. that and a smile, of course. 

and precisely with one of her characteristic smiles, sophie looks up at sungmin, all her teeth on display, before she speaks. “as if i ever did what you said before you left,” she adds with a cheeky smile, knowing she’s pushing the boundaries of the respect for older people inherent in korean culture, but not minding one bit. she’s close enough with sungmin that she knows he will understand. “me too!” she adds with mock surprise. “i can’t believe she can even survive without me at all times,” her tone is serious, but the twinkle in her eyes denotes the sarcasm. “anyway, give me that flyer, i want to know what that company you left us for is all about.” she adds extends her hand expectantly.

be my mirror, my sword and shield

ft. @rksryujin

sophie is a social being, there’s absolutely no denying that. and if there’s one thing sophie loves more than being social, that’s music. now, put the two together, and you get the perfect recipe to make sophie a happy person. it’s not only the fact that she’s playing music with someone else today that puts an extra spring in her step. she’s been wanting to do a cover of viva la vida for ages, but unfortunately the song just doesn’t sound the same without those iconic strings, and sophie plays many instruments, but the violin isn’t one of them. when she met ryujin a couple months ago, at one of 6tunes practices, and the other girl said she played violin, the idea quickly came together, and it wasn’t long before sophie was asking the younger girl to cover the song with her. thankfully, ryujin had said yes, and so here sophie was now, making her way to one of the practice rooms on campus to practice said cover song. 

the weather has gotten cold, and there’s a thick scarf wrapped around her throat and a neon green beanie covering her head. as soon as she steps into the building, though, sophie discards the clothing items and quickly makes her way upstairs to the practice room she had booked a few days ago, cello on her back and making her struggle a bit to fit into the lift. once she makes it to the room, she touches her student id to the lock next to the door, and walks inside. the room is empty but for the piano there, soundproof walls making the space unnaturally silent. 

( ✉ ryujinnie ) just got here!!!  ( ✉ ryujinnie ) let me know if you get lost or smth!

sophie shoots the younger girl a couple of messages and sits on the piano bench, playing some random melodies as she waits for ryujin to arrive.

“excuse me,” he starts politely enough, though his face is something stormier than his words. “that seat was taken.” never mind the fact that he only just arrived at the library, his bag still on his shoulder. he’s annoyed enough that he just does not care about telling someone else to get lost.

sophie isn’t really the studying type. grades have never been particularly important to her or to her mother, and so she’s never had that pressure that so many of her classmates had to pass everything with flying colours. as long as she passed, it was all good. sitting in place for a long time, looking at the same ten pages of a book over and over really wasn’t sophie’s thing, but desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures. and so, for possibly the first time ever in her whole year of university, she’s at the library. 

the place feels alien to sophie, what with the gloomy atmosphere and the silence only interrupted with hushed whispers. sophie doesn’t do well with silence, yet she’s somehow managed to stay pretty much silent the whole hour she’s been there. she’s quite close to reaching her limit now, and the urge to open her mouth and just talk to anyone around her – even if she gets a few nasty looks from her fellow students – is creeping up on her. 

her history of western music book has been open on the exact same page about johann sebastian bach for the last forty-five minutes, and instead of studying, she’s currently drumming her pen and highlighter to the rhythm of “into the unknown” – disney songs have always been sophie’s undoing. the girl sitting next to her clears her throat, and when sophie looks over, she raises her eyebrows and looks pointedly at her moving hands. with an apologetic smile, sophie puts her things back into her pencil case, and pouts as she looks around for something to do, other than studying of course. 

she’s saved from the search by a tall guy standing just in front of her, his deep voice immediately catching her attention – and a few others by the table. sophie’s first thought is thank god, i can finally talk, but that thought soon dies down as the guy continues speaking. “uhm, i don’t think so? i’ve been here for over an hour, and there was no one here when i arrived,” she replies with a small frown. as eager as she is to leave this place, she hates being told what to do. “i don’t see your name on the seat, either.”

“you should be more careful with that,” he is not at all amused but nor is he angry. suddenly it stings, causing him to gently touch the area and wonder whether he has got a red mark or if it simply feels that way. all in all he is glad that his nose didn’t suffer the blow instead, that could easily have made this whole encounter both messier and way more awkward. 

sophie is nor particularly clumsy, but she isn’t the most graceful person either. she’s good with sports and her hand eye coordination is generally good, but clearly today that’s a little off. there’s an honest apologetic smile on her face as she looks at the taller boy, the ball caught under her arm. she’s relieved to see nothing seems to have broken on his face, although there is a reddening spot on his cheek. sophie just hopes it doesn’t turn into a bruise. she’s well aware of the dangers of football, and even though it’s not a dangerous sport by any means, getting hit by the ball, specially on the face, stings quite a bit. 

as he picks up his phone, sophie prepares herself for some anger. most people their age would get upset at having their device broken, but the boy just simply puts it back in his pocket, allowing sophie to let out a relieved sigh. “yeah, sorry, i’m usually better with it, i was startled by a crying baby,” she replies, her free hand coming up to rub against the back of her neck. even if the boy doesn’t look angry, he looks clearly annoyed, and while sophie doesn’t usually care much about others’ feelings or opinions, she feels bad for him. 

“hey, can i buy you some coffee or something? just to say sorry for this whole mess.” there’s an eager smile on her face, and she hopes the boy says yes, or at least stops looking so annoyed.

attention boys!

ft. @yuzurk

being with yuzu is completely second nature to sophie now. it’s so easy and simple it just feels right and natural no matter what they’re doing. of course, when they’re doing music related things, it feels even better, and so sophie is currently in a fantastic mood. she’s dressed comfortably in jeans and an oversized t-shirt, her usual outfit, even though they’re filming today. sophie’s never been one to care much about appearances, and given today’s video is a music cover, she prefers to dress simply and let the music be the center of attention. 

“yuuuuuuuzu!” she calls as she comes into the rehearsal room they’re filming in. “are you ready?” her voice is cheery as always, but there’s an extra chirpiness to it today. a wide smile spreads over her face as she walks into the room, looking around for the other girl. “i brought the instrumental demo from the other day, do you want to listen to it?”

[not-rksophie]

hello friends! happy new year!!! :D i hope you all enjoyed the celebrations and are safe and happy ^^

i come to you with a faceclaim change: kim dahyun from twice! i loved using bibi as fc, but unfortunately there’s very few resources for her and i don’t have the time or energy to make resources myself. dahyun was the fc i had in mind when i first developed sophie in my head, so this change seems only right. nothing much changes about her other than her legal name is now dahyun rather than hyungseo and her birthday is now may 28. everything else stays the same. 

on another note, i’ll start replying to all the messages in my IMs today and slowly but surely work my way through them, so you’ll be getting my replies soon!

Ft. @rksophie

Lee Changyoon still felt guilty for accepting the contract with Sphere and leaving 6tunes (except for covers). No matter how many times the band told him not to feel guilty, he would probably always feel it. Only the siblings got signed, so at least he wasn’t the only one to leave.

The keyboardist had been reading the fliers when he looked up to spot his bandmate. Smirking, Changyoon made a beeline for their bass guitarist. ❝ Sophie, my lovely Sophie. ❞ He handed her a flier. ❝ Do oppa a favour and take one? Have you seen Yennie yet? I think she’s around here somewhere? ❞

the room 6tunes practice in is small, barely enough space for them and their instruments, but sophie doesn’t mind. as long as she’s with her members, she could be in a broom closet and be happy – even with her cleithrophobia. 

she’s strumming lazily at her bass, just some playful playing to get her fingers warmed up before practice, when changyoon approaches her. he’s probably the member of 6tunes she’s the least close with, but she still loves him anyway; he’s part of their little family, and that’s all that matters. 

she smiles playfully at him, particularly at his use of endearment. he might be the most serious one, but there’s always an air of mischief about him, the same way there is with his sister yena. “what, you leave us all for the idol life and you want me to take a flier?” she replies with an eyebrow raised, but her smile delates her joke and she takes the paper anyway. “not yet, but she probably isn’t far away. my trouble twin senses are tingling,” she adds solemnly, following up her statement with a chuckle.

Merry Christmas to @rksophie​                          | from @rkbeomgyu​

THE ONLY WAY IS UP

It had been a long and trying process to get to this point. The band had been through many ups and downs over the past year and a half. They had a line-up change when Miyeon left and Yein joined. There had been a time when the band had almost fallen apart, but they stuck through it. 6tunes were a family and it showed in how they interacted with each other. Their chemistry was strong and solid. Each member played a role in the band’s dynamic and image. They were individuals, but together, they were one.

yuzurk‌:

yuzu still doesn’t quite understand what went on in her head when she called up the number on the flyer to sign herself up as a drummer for this band that hyojin and sophie were forming. yet the female can’t bring herself to regret it either. playing drums was fun and with how persistent she had been about learning drums when seeing minsoo play, she’s glad she finally gets to put her acquired skills to use.

her main concern right now however was learning how to look cool more so than practice their covers with how often she was found twirling drumsticks around her fingers. playing a simple warm up tune together with sophie letting loose on her bass she attempts just that only for one of her sticks to go flying when she misses a finger and hitting the bassist square at the back of her head. yuzu’s eyes are wide, shoulders raised like a kid that had been caught sneaking a bite from the cookie jar. her teeth are on display, lips twisted into a grimacing grin while staring back at the bassist. only when the girl reaches for a pillow does she unfreeze herself, a smile of realization widening across her lips.

“ahh no mercy! it was an accident!!!”

sophie loves 6tunes. they are an odd sort of mix, all coming from different backgrounds and with sometimes drastically different tastes in music, but somehow they make it work. it’s always fun being with them, and sophie is really glad to have found this hodge podge made up family in seoul. not that she hadn’t made friends before, but still, not to the level of friendship she has with the members of 6tunes. 

yuzu, of course, has become one of her closest friends, almost a sister, really, and she feels so lucky to have met her. she scrambles to pick up another pillow, knowing somehow that yuzu is going to go along with her, even without talking. it seems to be something they have perfected, a silent understanding of each other, perhaps because they are so similar, and it allows them to have a connection that sophie hasn’t had with many people in her life before. 

“accident or not, you have wounded me!” sophie exclaims between laughter, her slight flare for the dramatics coming through as she hits the other girl with the pillow.

rkyoona‌:

(...)

She didn’t look that much younger than Yoona which meant that the girl must be in her first year or two of university, which explains why she had never seen her around campus before. Yoona shook her head. ❝ I doubt I would look that good. I can barely pull off my own clothes! ❞ She laughed. ❝ I might take you up on that offer one day so don’t forget it, ❞ she grinned. Yoona held out her hand towards the woman she now knew as Sophie. ❝ It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sophie. I’m Yoona. Are you new to the university? ❞

realizing her sexuality had never been much of a trauma for sophie. ever since she was a kid, the whole idea of kissing boys and marrying them and having babies with them had been as appealing to her as eating cauliflower; that is, not appealing at all. it wasn’t that she didn’t like boys, on the contrary, she was usually surrounded by them and enjoyed their company, but she just couldn’t see what her friends did when they looked at them and gossiped. girls, on the other hand, had always fascinated her. it had come as a surprise to absolutely no one when she had finally come out at fifteen, first to her mother and then to her friends. 

after that, sophie hadn’t been very private about her own sexual orientation. england was happily an open-minded enough country, and brighton was the gay capital, so she had always been safe enough and welcomed enough to display her affections freely. seoul, on the other hand, wasn’t quite as open, and although sophie was not going to pretend she was something else other than herself, she did cut back on her displays of flirting, if only for the safety of those around her, rather than herself. 

but the girl in front of her didn’t seem deterred by sophie’s advances. in fact, she seemed to be corresponding them, although sophie couldn’t quite say if she was actually flirting or just merely being friendly. social cues in korean culture were different from the ones sophie had been brought up in, and she was still trying to grapple with them. “i’ll note it down,” sophie replied with a cheeky grin, slowly getting over her initial shock at the other’s beauty and gaining back her bearings. “yoona,” she repeated, enjoying the way the name sounded. “pleasure is all mine.” she took the other’s hand, slightly surprised at the western introduction, but she guessed her clearly not korean name had given her away, if her accent hadn’t done that earlier. “i am a first year, yes,” sophie replied easily. “are you an snu student too?” she hadn’t seen the girl around before - and she was sure she would remember if she had - but she was hoping the girl would say yes, if only for the chance of seeing each other again.

♫ - how people move by akmuau - baekhyun as an idol and sophie as a paparazzo

It’s cool to see how people moveHow their arms and legs go back and forthHow their rib bones showwhen they take a deep breath

sophie never imagined that this would be her job when she grew up. she had always thought she’d be in something related to the arts, what with her predilection for them, perhaps run a gallery one day, like her godmother did, or have her works featured in a gallery, like her mother did. she never expected that, on her twenty fifth birthday, she’d be walking around seoul, heavy camera in hand, following one of those boys teenage girls cried about, all perfectly sculpted body and flawless skin. alas, that is what she was doing, and she wasn’t doing a particularly good job of it. it wasn’t entirely her fault, though.

the idol in question, a young boy named baekhyun who was, actually, the same age as sophie, had been her latest appointment by her boss, and there were rumours flying about that he was involved in some dating scandal. why an idol dating would be a scandal, sophie never really understood, but it was what put food on her table and a roof over her head, so she wasn’t going to start complaining now. baekhyun, however, didn’t seem to be involved in any dating scandal - or any other type of scandal, for that matter. he had a pretty average and pretty boring life, actually: he left his apartment and went to his agency building, and then left the agency building and went back to his apartment. sometimes he went to the gym, and most days he ordered take out. one day he had gone out for dinner with the rest of his group, and that had been the most exciting day in the month sophie had spent tracking the boy’s every move. normally, after three weeks, she would have given up, gone back to her boss and told him there was nothing to be found out about the boy, and she had gone and told her boss exactly that, only to have him tell sophie she should keep on his track for a bit longer. 

and so now here sophie was, waiting at the entrance of baekhyun’s agency, at the driving seat of some perfectly non-descript black car, camera in hand, waiting for the other to appear and, yet again, go straight back to his apartment. it was cold outside, so sophie was glad that at least she could wait inside a car, heating turned up and a warm coffee resting on the cup holder. the coffee had become a necessary accessory, as baekhyun left his house early and the agency late, and sophie wasn’t getting many hours of sleep lately. it wasn’t long before the doors of the building opened and sophie sat up straight, looking for the shock of black hair that topped baekhyun’s head. despite being one of the shortest in his group, he wasn’t difficult to find among them, and sophie had gotten pretty good over the last month at spotting him pretty much anywhere. not having much to photograph, sophie had taken to simply observing the boy, learning all his tics and mannerisms. it was something sophie did almost naturally, dissecting people and noticing all their little quirks; it was, in the end, what had made her want to become a portrait photographer, the chance to capture all the little bits and pieces that made up a person and transferring them onto a single image. 

as always, there was a wide smile on baekhyun’s face as he talked with his group mates, always the mood maker of the bunch. the smile, sophie had noticed, was weirdly square, his white, white teeth just the slightest big pointy, almost like a puppy’s. his eyes, usually droopy, crinkled up and almost disappeared, and his cheeks bunched up. it was a cute smile, and sophie could see why so many girls screamed his name and fawned over him, maybe. as he said goodbye to the rest of the boys and made his way to his car, sophie followed him with her gaze, noticing how the grin disappeared and transformed into his default expression, mouth turning into a small triangle, almost, upper lip pointing up and corners pointing down. he moved easily and quickly, the oversized sweater and coat he wore making him look small and cozy. as soon as he got into the car, sophie started up his own, driving away and after baekhyun’s own vehicle. 

the ride to - yet again - his apartment was short, and after so long sophie could probably have done it in her sleep. she had wondered if there was a reason he had chosen an apartment so close to the agency, that perhaps he didn’t like driving, or that maybe the agency had gotten it for him. whatever the reason was, it made sophie’s life easier, not having to navigate seoul’s infernal traffic for long. as he parked and got out of the car, sophie stopped in the street just across, snapping a couple of shots just to have something to show her boss. baekhyun quickly slipped into his apartment building, door closing behind him and marking the end of yet another day of sophie’s incredibly exciting paparazzi life. of course, she had to stay around, wait to see if he would leave the apartment again, but knowing his routine so far, that seemed rather unlikely, and so sophie settled in for a few hours of staring at passersby and playing on her phone.
