― love & live, the debut stage ༄

it had all sunk in, the first live stage performance -- standing on stage like this felt amazing and she couldn't hide her excitement. from looking over the performance sheet of the other groups performing and seungah felt blessed. as she prepared for the stage, she stood in their practice room, dancing everything over multiple times she looked into the mirror.

it would be fine -- seungah told herself this, basically chanted it inside her head to make it all seem more ok than it probably was. glancing over at her other members she smiled. even if this concept wasn't her ideal concept... she had wanted to debut for so long already and she had practiced. looking at other groups they all went through different phases. maybe they could follow in their sunbae group's footsteps. starting with a fresh and pure concept but then eventually move on to more mature things because they were after all ( or most were ) adults. dancing around in school uniforms really wasn't the ideal thing for her. she hadn't worn one for so many years already.

although it did feel nice to wear one, weirdly enough it was all very nostalgic. high school for her had been an important time for her and if her high school teacher hadn't told her what she needed to do, she wouldn't be where she was now. she wouldn't be standing on stage -- or maybe she would have gone down the idol path sooner but then she also would have struggled to keep herself level headed.

glancing at the girls that were there with her, now they were five but soon they would be twelve and that felt so amazing to her.

seungah wanted to text many people before she walked on stage -- her mother, gray, taeyang and all of and*roma but she hesitated because she didn't want to jinx it. maybe it was all still a dream?

"heartz 1/3 get ready to perform."

the call that brought her back to reality and she turned around on her heel, smiling at the producer.

a starry road

A staff member leads you down sphere’s winding hallways to Baek Jiyoung’s office, then opens the door and leads you inside, where the ceo awaits, sitting at her desk. She looks up immediately when you enter, a sunny smile gracing her lovely features. Seated across from her desk, next to an empty chair, is a company lawyer whom you recognize from before; they had been present when you signed your initial company contract. The staff member directs you to take the empty chair next to the lawyer and then leaves. You hear the door close and the latch clicks back into place.

Baek Jiyoung claps her hands together, her eyes settling on yours. “When trainees first sign a contract with a company, they are devoting themselves to at least two years of training. They usually don’t expect the time to pass so quickly, but it does,” she says aloud thoughtfully. “Years of training and hopes lead to one dream usually: debut.”

“But, you’re no ordinary trainee. We chose you from a different company and brought you here with a specific goal. I’ve seen you grow these past few months in your training and the coaches have had plenty of praise and constructive advice for you.” She pauses and diverts her attention back to her desk, where she shuffles paperwork until she sets one singular sheet of paper in front of herself. “I’ve been proud of your growth here, and I trust you to do your best to continue to improve, even after debut. This, here,” she says, motioning towards the document, “is a contract exclusive to HEARTZ and will tie you to this group, and to Sphere Entertainment, for the next six years.”

Baek Jiyoung’s eyes warm with pride as she hands you a pen. “If we share the same vision of making HEARTZ one of the top girl groups in all of Korea, and you wish to stay with us for the long journey, sign right here on the dotted line.”

up until this this point it had all felt too surreal, like it wasn’t real. even after the music videos and teaser images. there was something incredibly satisfying about this experience that she had. even if she hadn’t been a trainee for that long it still felt like she had been one for years. maybe because she had been on the mgas, super nova project and now the heartz project. there were many thoughts floating around her head but she overall felt lucky.

so when she was lead down the sphere hallway, she couldn’t help but feel giddy -- entering the office she looks at baek jiyoung with a smile. she had looked up to the ceo for such a long time and sphere had originally been one of her preffered companies, but nova had sniped her.

she listened patiently and nodded her head but when the contract was presented her she didn’t even hesitate to sign her name at the dotted line.

“thank you for giving me this chance,” she says and bows her head at the female and the lawyer, “i will do my best for you and the company!”

OOC note: First of all, congratulations on arriving at the final step before debut! I know it’s been a long and crazy journey, and I’m so glad you’ve stuck through it. When you are ready, feel free to post this prompt with your muse’s response to it.

Should she choose to sign the convex contract, she will be employed by Sphere Entertainment without a need to renew a contract until the duration of this one has concluded. As a reward for making it this far, she will receive three weekends unpaid vacation time to use any time between now and the end of December, so long as it doesn’t clash with any special debut activities (such as music show appearances, meaning she can’t actually use his vacation time until after the music show performances have finished.)

Should she choose to reject this contract, she will leave the company effective immediately upon rejection. She will be able to keep all of her debut points, but will not be able to take any trainee workshops or earn any more debut points/workshop points until she becomes a trainee again. She will not have any special advantage over newer characters when she auditions for other companies in the future, and should she become a trainee at a new company she will be considered a junior trainee all over again, even though she will still have his debut points and would be eligible for debut right away. She will have the right to audition for sphere again, but the fact that he gave up a contract renewal, especially a debut one, will be taken into account in final casting decisions.

She will have up to one week to make her decision IC, meaning that if he does not make a decision by September 23rd, he will automatically be cut from the company. exceptions will be made for those on hiatus.

📞 📲 ▸ CALL CONNECTED ━━━━   하수영 ━ ( 00:23 ) 

to be fair, taeyang doesn’t use his phone tocall very often and if he so happens to, it’s typically because he needsanswers yesterday—either that, or he wants to plan a meet-up. it feels odd hearingthe beeps when he waits for sooyoung to pick up, though he supposes it’sbecause they have never spoken like this before. as he hears the standard soundof a call being accepted, he smiles.

“hey,” he greets her. “i know, huh? i thought congratulationsare in order, even if we kind of celebrated already… now, it’s official.” thereis a brief pause before he continues, to let the introduction set. “yourteasers looked really good. are you excited?” it’s only now that he realisesthat calling his friends and family should become routine, something that heprioritises due to lack of time.

📞  ━ it wasn’t a complete surprise to her that she got a call from people, there had been a couple of friends from college texting her, but she had been surprised at the call from taeyang. a welcome call but still a surprising one. there was something nice about getting a phone call, it wasn’t something she usually got.

a wide smile grown on her face as he congratulates her on the recent news, it was a happy occasion for her. the thing she wanted to share and be excited.

“thank you so much taeyang,” she muses happily, nodding to herself even though he couldn’t see it -- “i am incredibly excited about many things,” but she was sure he already knew this because how she had been the last time she had seen him in the nova building. now she would soon be an actual idol, two years of her life finally showing off the work.

“i’m not sure if the song is down your alley though, but it is exiting -- it feels surreal.”

well, in regards of being a trainee, obviously. “a-ah, thank you!” she appreciates it when seungah takes the step to reassure her that everything is fine, that there is nothing to worry about. her shy grin grows into a brighter one, and her stance appears more confident now. she nods her head, agreeing that they will agree to disagree this time, soft chuckles escaping her as follows. “uh… i chose one of the songs of boa sunbae-nim! one shot, two shot is a good choice, right?” she asks, casually fishing for tips.

even though it hadn’t been long since she had been apart of the girls preparing -- she still felt kind of nostalgic thinking about it... then again, it had already been three months and time suddenly felt like time had gone way too quickly and now she was going to debut. ‘ am i even debut ready? ’ she wonders to herself as she is standing infront of the younger female.

seungah always found it interesting talking about others and their song choices, some song choices had surpised her and others had made complete sense to her.

when yoorim told her she had choosen a song of boa, one of her newer songs and she couldn’t help but think that a song by boa... looking at yoorim she smiles to herself, wondering how the younger will perform it and she nods to herself, “i think that it will suit you well,” she nods and studies the female ( she was tall ) and she had this look in her face.

she had never seen her perform but, “be confident when you perform and you’ll do amazing.”

Flower Talk

rkxluda·:

Ludachuckled, “Not very specific, but I think that will suit the roomso far very well,” she smiled. Both Minhee and her seemed to likecalm but pretty decoration and it would be nice if that continuedwith Seungah, to give the room a nice feeling, but it seemed asthough there would be no problem with that. “What about plants?”she wondered, those easily suited almost everything, depending on thepot, but that could be changed. Plus they were calming and betteredthe air.

Thegirl almost shivered at the thought. While she would’ve loved to go,she was glad to have avoided the cold by staying home. “Oh?” shesaid surprised, not wanting to sound overly childish in herexcitement. “I’m sure they’re the cutest!”

“Haveyou lived by yourself before?” she asked, taking a cute figure outof a shelf, to get a closer look, but deciding to put it right back,after seeing how messy the colouring was.

seungah looked at the multiple different decorations, it was nice to take some time now to be able to do this -- who knows how busy she would be when she actually debuts and promotes. there were many different thoughts in her head. seungah wanted nothing more than to keep everything relaxed for her, "you know, i'd kinda like a bonzai tree?" she nodded, smiling over at luda -- even if they were hard work, she thought it would suit the current vibe of the room she was sharing with the two other girls.

"they are pretty adorable, i'll show you when we get back alright?" it was such a simple thing but seungah found them adorable even if they were a little childish.

her fingers dragged over a sleek white lamp, "yes i have," she nods slightly, "i have lived by myself for the last three years actually, " seungah remembers moving into her own apartment in her last year of university -- it was all very new to her but it was in preparations for her life as a working adult... becoming a trainee halted that ( not that she had any issue with it ), "i'm sure it'll be different living with everyone but i'm also looking forward to it."

― not by the moon ༄

rksuas​:

the summer nights will slowly give their way to autumn soon.  tonight is more comfortable than it has been in a long time; lacking humidity and a cool enough breeze to feel pleasant as she makes her way to the han river.  a weekend night should find her keeping time to herself or at the very least, face timing with hyun rather than going out for a walk of all things.  but tonight, there’s a reason.  sooyoung needed her.

she finds it odd, truthfully.  sua isn’t quite sure when they became close enough for the other woman to call her out just to have a chat, but at the same time there’s nothing to complain about.  it’s easier this way, having people that she enjoys working with enough that she’d willingly run out to meet them at the drop of a dime.

tucking back a few strands of hair that came loose from her ponytail, sua sighs as she wonders whether or not the manager for heartz even allowed sooyoung to come out like this just to meet one of the trainees.  her face puckers into an expression of disgust on her own, but quickly she shakes it off as she comes upon the meeting place the two agreed upon.

it’s barely past nine, and sooyoung is there looking over the rails to the river that lay below.  a glance at her watch, and sua’s strides lengthen to reach her that much more quickly.  " what did you call me out for?“ she muses, her back resting against the rail that leads to the river below.  ” did something happen?“

maybe it was unusual for her to call someone out this late -- but her mind felt a little jumbled and reality had now sunk in. there was also the feeling of why had she decided to call out sua? in her head sua was reliable and she could need some honest advice or just thoughts about her situation. even if seungah was happy, she had suddenly felt incredibly worried about her choice ( the fact that she was at the brick of debut was the cause of it all ).

seungah leans her head over the railing and looks down into the water flowing peacefully by her -- in the water she could see the faint reflection of herself but more importantly, she saw the nightsky. the stars were difficult to spot because it was still summer and it didn't get completely dark yet, but if she closed her eyes she could still see them.

when she finally hears the familiar voice and she lifts her head up, turning it to face sua properly and smiles a little at her question.

"something did kind of happen," she nods, her eyes lingering for a moment on the female before shifting to the water below again, "it's hard to explain."

seungah wants to be honest about things but she also wants to be careful of how she presents it, if she should present it as her issue... it wasn't really an issue either, she sighs -- "last summer i confessed to someone, i was rejected then and i knew i would be--" she smiles a little sadly at herself, remembering the multiple different events of the previous summer, "i thought i could move on after that but i couldn't so i lived in a pretense that i had..." seunngah wanted to make the entire thing short and not too dragged out, "then he invited me to a wedding in march, as his plus one... i foolishly got y hopes up, only to get hurt and we didn't speak for a while... somethings happened and this summer, he told me he liked me," she nods -- running her hands through her hair and ruffling up the back of her head, "i was elated, am still and now we are dating... i'm just worried about my selfishness."

[rksevngah]

— `, ● you gave me a startle .

rkyurim·:

of course, yoorimknew from the get-go that sooyoung is part of heartz, she has even greeted thesoon-to-be debuting idol. that does not mean she is mentally prepared to meether now, though, when she so determinedly makes her way to the practice roomthat she completely oversaw the other’s presence—her cheeks begins to burn in afurious blush, this is most definitely embarrassing.

setting aside the fact that sooyoung is confirmedto debut, yoorim can already say that she has been a fan for a long time. eversince the fourth season of mga, to be honest. she shakes her head dismissively,believing that she is the one who should apologise for being so caught up inher own world, so that is what she says. “no, it’s my own fault. i should haveseen you there,” she notes.

not only is this disrespectful to someone withgreater seniority, but also to someone she thinks highly of. her blush deepenswhen she hears her name, she is admittedly slightly surprised that sooyoungremembered. “y-yeah, that’s me! i’m sorry that i almost bumped into you, i shouldhave paid more attention!” yes, she is heading straight into catastrophicthinking and feels the urge to explain.

“i was going over the song for the evaluation…it’s not hard, but i don’t want to mess up already.”

it was almost uncomfortable how careful the younger seemed to be, it was unexpected for seungah -- she hadn't experienced this kind of reaction a while. never from a trainee, a regular person yes but never someone who was a trainee ( then again, yoorim had been a regular person at one point ). so seungah smiles warmly at the younger, wanting this barrier that had seemed to come up between them as soon-to-be idol and trainee to falter a little.

both of them were in this race together, even if seungah couldn't practice with them.

"it is alright, don't worry about it ... yoorim ah," she decides to speak casually to the younger, hoping that would help.

listening to the female ramble on, made seungah chuckle as she listened as yoorim was explaining herself even if she had told the female it was alright -- "we agree to disagree then," she nods, though she understands she's older than the female... a couple of years older at that.

"what kind of song have you chosen for this month?" she asks, her smile still visible on her face, she couldn't help but wonder about what kind of song would suit the female. seungah hadn't really seen her perform so she can't even begin to imagine what would suit yoorim but one thing was sure and she thinks to herself, ' something charismatic for sure. '

[rksevngah]

― sign the dotted line ༄

You’re led down the hall by a staff member early in your day at Sphere Entertainment, to Baek Jiyoung’s office. When you step into the room, she’s seated behind her desk, and she greets you with a smile that’s both gentle and professional. The staff member motions for you to take a seat across from you, then leaves. One quick glance around the room, and you can spot the same lawyer that was present when you first signed your contract.

“Hi, Seungah,” she begins, her lips still quirked up into a tiny smile before she becomes more serious. She shuffled through the paperwork on her desk for a moment, then glances back up at you. “I heard today marks your two years since you’ve become a trainee in NOVA. While you didn’t start at our company, I know you’ve been through a lot. Thank you for your hard work.” Another pause, and she glances down at the papers again– shuffles them more until one manila folder is on top of the stack. “I also know that you haven’t been officialized as a Sphere trainee even after all this time. And that is why I have this to offer you.”

She opens up the manila folder in front of her and presents a pen and contract, specifically marked where each new signature is required, to you with a bright smile. “This isn’t an idol contract quite yet. You’ll be technically signing as a trainee for another two years before you can make your group debut, but now under Sphere. It’s the same contract you’ve read before. Feel free to take your time thinking about it, if you need it.”

seungah had completely forgotten about how two years ago she had signed her contract with nova entertainment, it had already been two years -- so when she's lead down the hallway she wonders for what possible reason could she be taken to baek jiyoung's office. all she could think about as she entered was the fact that baek jiyoung was one of her role models in music, her ballads were great and seungah admired her for all the struggles she had been through.

nervously she walks over to the table, there she sees the lawyer she barley remembers from when she signed her contract with nova.

when baek jiyoung acknowledges her in the room, seungah bows politely at the older female and nods as she mentions her trainee period with nova. it's been over two years since the mgas but seungah still remembers how she had put sphere as one of her preferred companies to be in -- with baek jiyoung as musicians she admired. right now getting offered a new contract with sphere felt incredibly surreal and like things had come full circle for her.

it doesn't take her long after she had been presented with the pen until she signs the dotted line -- hoping dearly that she would debut before these two years were finished, the chances for that looked good. there was also the fact that sphere had given her a chance when nova had 'thrown' her away, so to her signing this piece of paper was the easiest decision she could make.

"thank you for this chance."

OOC NOTE: First of all, congratulations to two years as a trainee! I know it’s been a long and crazy journey, and I’m so glad you’ve stuck through it. When you are ready, feel free to post this prompt with Seungah’s response to it.

Should Seungah choose to RENEW her contract, she will sign on to the same agreement as before for another two years. As a reward for making it this far, she will receive ONE WEEK unpaid vacation time to use any time between now and the end of November, so long as it doesn’t clash with any special trainee activities.

Should she choose to REJECT her contract with Sphere, she will leave the company, effective immediately upon rejection. She will be able to keep all of her debut points, but will not be able to take any trainee workshops or earn any more debut points/workshop points until she becomes a trainee again. She will not have any special advantage over newer characters when she auditions for other companies in the future, and should she become a trainee at a new company she will be considered a junior trainee all over again, even though she will still have his debut points and would be eligible for debut right away. She WILL have the right to audition for Sphere again, but the fact that she gave up a contract renewal WILL be taken into account in final casting decisions.

She will have up to one week to make his decision IC, meaning that if she does not make a decision by SEPTEMBER 3RD she will automatically be cut from the company. Exceptions can be made for those on hiatus.

days gone by.

gahyecnrk·:

gahyeon’s still not sure what she makes of the heartz project,if only because she hasn’t taken the time to really think about it. with whathas happened this month, gahyeon just doesn’t feel particularly for or againstjoining, in general she just feels unsure. seeing familiar faces has helpedthat a bit, a potential for debuting with girls she’d essentially signed with,considering. two years was a long time, and they were coming up on that – whichmade gahyeon wary. of course, many had trained for two years and gotten muchless. but she’s just antsy at this point.

heartz was a way to quell that, but it hadn’t really – notin the way she’d thought it would. instead it just set gahyeon back to thatunsure, questioning mindset she’d had back in the mgas. for now, she had yenato try and curb that – but who knew what the following months would bring.

“ doesn’t that mean we just want it again, that muchmore ? ” gahyeon asks, turning to look at sooyoungwith a raised brow. “ we’ve gotten a taste of it, more than some othertrainees … that’s the only difference. they want it – a real audience,not just trainees. we crave it all over again. ” she hums, turning backto watch as another performance was about to start. “ but i guess it’sdifferent even for you, huh ? you know you’ll get it soon. ”

turning back tosooyoung, gahyeon smiles. “ i’m glad it’s all going well. it seems …stressful, but fun, you know ? i mean, it’s what we’re training for, isn’tit ? ” she offers with a shrug. “ that would be fun – and i hope youget to do it … i just wonder who’ll be chosen next, you know ? i haven’t been here long, so i don’t really know how they choose thatstuff. but it all seems fun. it’d be that much better to be able to actually promote – plus it would give some experience for when the whole group debuts …” gahyeon considers, before shrugging. “ i hope you guys get to.you deserve to. ”

gahyeon purses herlips when sooyoung asks, and shrugs. “ i’m not sure … ” gahyeonmurmurs. “ doesn’t feel real – like it’s not gonna happen. ” sheadmits quietly, voice hollow. “ but maybe i’m just in my head about itall. i guess i just didn’t realize it’d be like this. ”

it was true,the trainees that had been chosen after the mgas might want to stand on stage more because they know what it it feels like to stand on stage -- the adrenaline it gives and how to feels to have people cheering for you, "we might want it more because we know what could await us but -- I think I might have given up if i hadn't known what it felt like as well," she nods slowly, unfortunately for her she had basically tasted debut.

last year, during the supernova project -- she who had been a trainee for the shortest amount of time, had practiced relentlessly for three months, only to be eliminated and basically told... she wasn't good enough, that thought kept popping up in her head and also the saying -- another man's trash is another man's treasure ( not that she thought of herself as trash ) but, "i almost game up last year you know, after the supernova project," she nods slowly, it was the truth -- "i also considered this my last chance, so if i, in the end, didn't make it then i would quit."

"their choices go on the current concept and how the next girl will suit the song and concept, we know the first unit's concept is pure -- you want to be chosen for that?"

promoting would be nice, getting experience and bring in some popularity to the group before the official debut ( hopefully they are garnering some attention as it is ).

"gahyeon ah," seungah smiled over at the younger, "i don't think it is wrong to be hopeful and want to get picked," seungah nods slowly and gazes out at the crowd, "expect the worst but hope for the best? kind of? that way you won't be as hurt... as hurt as i was last year when i had expected to be picked but in the end didn't make it."

[rksevngah]

starstruck!

ft. @rkhsy

having been a fan of the mgas since she had begun watching them after moving to korea, there were a few contestants that the girl recognized. though most of the contestants she did recognize were the ones that talked to her brother or were at least part of the show with him. not only was she able to see her brother show off a side of himself to the world that she hadn’t seen before, but there was other talented people that she had grown to admire and adore. to be able to be in a group with so many people who were on the show with him was… practically an honor.

mina was already intimidated by the fact that she’d run into the members who have debuted already, but she had already met minhee before thanks to their encounter at the noraebang. however, mina was nervous as to meet the mga girls that have debuted already. but if she wanted to have the opportunity of being in a group with these girls, she needed to be able to talk to them. even the ones that she’s nervous of interacting with the most.

she doesn’t expect to run into one so soon, however. but perhaps fate is on her side as she notices the ha sooyoung pass by her in the hall. “a-ah, sunbaenim!” she calls out, hoping to get the other’s attention while in the hallway. “i’m kang mina. i just got added into the heartz project this month. a.k.a the month you debuted! yeah.” god. save her. she really needs to be better at learning how to talk to people she fangirled about at least at one point. at least she’s doing better than she is with other people she’s ran into. “h-how are you?” she asks.

hopefully, she doesn’t think of her as some loser… even though she kinda is one.

this was something seungah now had to get used to she was sure of that much, getting randomly appraoched and recognized but it all made her feel a little odd. after all, it hadn’t been that long ago since she was just a normal trainee ( having gone through a survial already but albeit just a trianee ) -- she smiles at the female as she notices her. if she wasn’t mistaken, kang mina, she was one of the newer girls added to the heartz project this month.

“welcome,” she nods her head at her, “you can call me seungah,” a soft chuckle escapes her moth as she observes the younger female, tilting her head as she can’t help but find her a little adorable, “welcome to this adventure,” she wasn’t entierly sure what to say but to distract herself she wondered about the last name.. kang, it was a popular last name so seungah didn’t think that mina and daniel were related but imagine the odds if they were.

“i am doing good, how are you doing?”

it was an awkward situation but she was determine to make it comfortable for herself and for the younger girl as well, “how long have you been a trainee?”

Flower Talk

rkxluda​:

“Do you have anything in mind already?” Luda asked Sooyoung curiously as they walked through the aisles and shelves of decorative items. Luda had already brought a few things from home to the dorm, but she found her little area of the room still looked pretty empty. The plants she’d gotten were nice, especially as they survived with very little care, only having to be watered every couple of weeks, but they weren’t quite enough by themselves.

And while shopping was always nice, she was much more looking forward to some bonding time with Sooyoung, they hadn’t really seen much of each other in the past almost two years, but would be living together from now on after all.

“How was Iceland? I’m sure it’s quite beautiful,” she said. Luda wasn’t sure how the other felt, but personally, she would’ve loved to go to Iceland herself, so naturally she was excited that Sooyoung had been able to go there. At the same time, she didn’t want to bring up debut preparations too much since surely there’d be enough talking about that in the following weeks.

@rkhsy

when she had deicded to move, seungah decided that she wanted to briung any of her property from her apartment. instead she had decided to give it all to her mother, that way the older woman could be surrounded by things she loved and hopefully that would create a peaceful envionment for her. with her upcoming debut, seungah did worry about her mother health but she was sure -- with her mother being surrounded by nice people, she would be well taken care of.

“hmm,” she ponered at luda’s question, “i’d like something that gives off a peaceful feeling?” she chuckles, before realizing what she sounds like, “that wasn’t very spesific at all...” she muses playfully as she walks past the different decorative items in the shelves, pursing her lips as she wondered about what she should get for her part of the room.

“iceland was great -- cold but great,” she nods slolwy, “i got presents for everyone though... i bought 12 sheep,” she wrinkles her nose and grins amused at how she sounds, “they are adorable, i’ll show you when we get back...”

― nostalgia ༄

rktaeyang​:

taeyang truly does enjoy these random meetings. while he does chat with his fellow trainees during water breaks and lunch, it seems he is typically grouping up with the same people—every now and then, however, he is fortunate enough to grab the opportunity to pair up with someone new. not that he is bored with the ones he knows, far from it.

it’s simply how taeyang thrives, and it’s how he has always thrived. ever since his mid-teens, taeyang has relied on friends to get by and while he believes in having a small selection of good friends rather than having many bad ones, he does think there is no such thing as too many friends. accordingly, he enjoys a vast selection of partners to talk with.

“now is good then,” he agrees easily. “i should probably not stay too long either, my group expects me at some point.” after all, he is leading the group this month, as per usual. taeyang swears that the next month, he will join someone else instead of asking others to join him—at least for once, he wants to relax a little and let someone else take the lead.

as they only have one way to leave the building, he moves to exit the premises so that they can get moving. “anywhere in particular that you would like to go?” he asks, because sooyung is the one who is going to be celebrated. smiling, he gazed over at the other trainee, who assumes is on her road to true fame—still, he doesn’t’ want to spoil it already.

“you say that now, but i bet that one day, you will miss this too.”

there was no doubnt that taeyang was right in a way, one day she might miss being  a trainee-- just like she also missed being just a regualr person. a regular person, working her regular -- she had learned early how mean comments could get but she didn’t want to think about that. not yet, “one day i probably will.” seungah nods with a small smile while looking at the male, “i do believe that there will be moments but at the same time, i worked towards this you know,” she doesn’t know what else to say. there were even times now where she missed being able to practice with everyone -- “aren’t you looking forward to the day you debut?”

simple thing ssuch as practicing with your group for an eval made her smile -- bonding with the others. seungah didn’t know what her future held for her now, sure she would debut in one of the top companies -- but would her group succeed? would they all be happy and ... would she be happy?

thinking about this she wonders about her future for just a moment, she was a singer -- they would be twelve girls... how would they make it fair? would it even be fair?

seunah shook her head, tossing herself back into the current reality where she was happy -- “don’t miss me too much will you?” she grins cheekily at him, nodding her head before throwing a playful wink at him.

mv filming in taipei w/ @rkwxnb​

since she had made her debut earlier the same month ( without signing a contract ) -- she hadn't been aware of how busy the next couple of months would be. but in july when she had sung a duet with the younger female, she wasn't sure if she would be filming a music video. yet today here she was in taipei with eunbi, after having her hair and makeup done. she smiles over at the female while on set. hearing the concept made her nod.

it was interesting -- she would have to act friendly with eunbi, it already made it easy since she felt close with the younger and during filming it showed how close and friendly they were. seungah made a point to ruffle her hair and smile fondly at the younger each time she was the one "singing". she couldn't help but feel proud over the grown the younger had shown over the past couple of months that they had both come from different companies ( along with luda ) but somehow had gotten picked for the first debuting unit.

seungah didn't want to think about what the other trainees might think of them for debuting first, that wasn't what she wanted to focus on while they were in taipei. seungah wanted to have fun and enjoy the city -- right now she had to show how much she cared for the younger female. with a warm and almost motherly smile on her face, seungah didn't think it was difficult to find euinbi lovable and precious. the way the younger had hugged her when moving into the dorm still was a fresh memory in her head, "eunbi ah," she smiled, "congratulations on your debut." she hummed and pulled the female into a hug while the camera was filming them ( although it wasn't for show ).

― taipei 101 ༄

visiting taipei with the girls

seungah would be meeting up with the girls soon-- but she had gone out a little before, so she could take in the city of taipei by herself. everything surrounding her was so different from seoul, the people and just overall vibe. she had a wish to be able to stay for longer but she knew that would be impossible ( they were on a schedule after all ). so instead she pulled out her phone and wanting to make the most of the moments she had alone, she took multiple pictures of the buildings and the different small stores and food stands.

one part of her wanted to taste all the food and another part of her knew that it was already late, she didn't want to eat something this late because it would show up on her face the next day.

was she maybe being too careful?

all she knew was that she didn't want to give anyone a reason to send negative comments towards her ( based on her appearance at least ). she had been regularly working out and keeping in shape. the heartz project had halted her work out routines -- but she was still eager to start back up, after all. there should be some time before the next schedule for her to actually work out. right now it was important for her to enjoy every moment she had like this -- at the cusp of debut, before she knew it she would be standing on stage, ready to perform.

'ah, I can't wait.'
