Refreshing || Sejeong & Seokmin

@rkdokyeom

Sometimes luck had a way of balancing things out.  In a rush that morning, Sejeong had left her apartment, still half awake and not used to the early mornings at the company, forgetting her water bottle on the counter.  She hadn’t realized it until partway through the day when she went to get a drink on her break, only to find that it wasn’t there.  Her mind flashed back to her steps that morning and realized right where it was.  With a sigh, she went out to her locker, grabbing some money, and then out to one of the vending machines. 

Pressing the button for a bottle of water, the machine whirred like it was going to dispense it, but then nothing came out. Furrowing her brow, she pressed the button again, and this time, she was surprised to hear two thuds.  Reaching in, she pulled out two bottles of water.  Quite happy with this, she returned to the studio to see if she could find someone else who was taking a break to share with.

Spotting one of the male trainees, Sejeong came over with a big smile and plopped down next to him, holding out the second bottle to him. “Hey there, I’m Sejeong and you look like you could rehydrate.  This is yours if you want it,” she said, bottle in hand.

i don’t know what you’re waiting for  —

                                                                                          #rkmar18eval — wake up by H.A.M.                                                                              march 31st, 2018: MONTHLY EVALUATION                                                                                                                                   ( 0:29-2:58 )

he nervously held his own hands, squeezing them like he could somehow gather more energy from something that was already part of him. the boy wasn’t exactly nervous, but it wasn’t like you could very easily get rid of all your nerves before any kind of performance. he was the type to study all day long and still have doubts if he’d do well or not in an exam, so why wouldn’t he have been the same when it came to evaluations?

it may have sounded weird but jihoon wasn’t exactly the best at snapping, so just as much as he had practiced his singing the boy also spent his time snapping his fingers. maybe practice really did make perfect but his snaps still often came out sort of faded one time or another. they were in a group of five, so hopefully it wouldn’t be something to worry too much about. he could always just work on that skill afterward.

his voice, though, was something more urgent. as the time passed by and warned him of how close it was to his part, jihoon’s stomach tightened under his skin. after all those discourses on breathing techniques, he wasn’t too sure if that feeling would be any good for his performance. still, he barely had any actual lines, so he quickly picked up his breath before singing. the few lines didn’t come out as perfectly as he had practiced, but they also didn’t have any sort of big failures. it was probably a matter of experience and jihoon would have to work hard to get any better at it.

still, his job wasn’t done. the song was heavily involved with harmonizations, and since he didn’t have any more main lines then he needed to serve as a back vocal. wow.

* better late than never ,

@rkdokyeom

the sense of betrayal eats at him the entire morning as he goes through the motions, creasing his brows, pulling his lips into a frown. it’s not a sense of betrayal at anyone else, however, but one at himself. how dare he not know it was his friend’s birthday?

belated birthday greetings, chanyeol feels, are always well-meant and well-received, but they’re just not the same as those given on the actual date, or even better, right at midnight. it’s why he always greets his mother and brothers at twelve on the dot in los angeles time. the fact that he’s now searching for dokyeom during the lunch hours three whole days after his birthday has him sulking, shoulders sagging as he roams the halls of trc.

finally, he spots his target and, even if the guilt eats at him inside, he knows birthday greetings should always be given with the greatest sincerity and joy, even belated ones. so with a great inhale, five or six balloons tied around his neck, a bow tied around his face, a gift in his hands and above that, his trademark bento box, he makes his way toward the familiar figure, whooping out, “happy birthday, lee dokyeom!!”

[rkleedongminie]

one foot in front of the other.

seocho building, early morning december evaluation preparation 

                    ‘do you want to build a snowman?’

honestly. of all the songs, and all the stages dongmin was so glad this was the one he got to be apart of. all the stages for the christmas performances were so much fun, but he was apart of the special end stage. not as just one of the backup singers, or apart of the whole group. but as one of the main singers. he had solo parts. and normally this would have been enough for him to be melting under stress and nerves. but the song they were doing was from frozen. 

and dongmin loves disney movies.

he basically already knows all the words to the song due to having seen the movie a few times over. he use to torture his cousin, seokmin, with the very song that he is going to sing on the stage. he laughed thinking about his cousins reaction when he found out what songs would be performed. wondering if he was worried dongmin would start calling him randomly again just to start singing it. luckily for him, dongmin had more then enough around him all the time to pester with this song.

and to really top it all off, he was going to be singing a part with yeri noona. he adores yeri noona. she is so talented and cute, and when ktrookies had posted her teaser, he had gone bananas. commenting so many hearts under the video on his hidden youtube page. the same thing he had done with taemin hyungs as well. 

not having many nerves for this stage came from the fact that he was excited about the song. and it showed by how he danced around the company buiding singing it any chance he had. the only part he was a little nervous about was near the end when he would have to do some adlib high notes. he approached his instructors about this, wanting extra practice on those particularly. he knows, realistically, he shouldn’t be too worked up about it because he has spent years working on his high notes. but this is where his lack of confidence comes into play. 

at the end of the schedules, when the day was over and he was able to go home, dongmin would spend extra time locked away in a studio. he went over the song for the special stage, as well as the songs he would be singing with the other royal boys so many times that he was singing them in his sleep. eventually most nights jaehyun would have to come and drag him from the studio so he would go home. the teen whining about needing to perfect the songs feel on deaf ears as jaehyun scolded him for not resting his voice.

he just wanted to be ready for the performances. he wanted to show whoever was going to be here that he was a good fit for the stage. that it wasn’t a mistake for him to be apart of this company, and that he is going to succeed as an idol.

dongmin doesn’t care what anyone says. 

he belongs here. 

[rkness]

oh, wow.

@rkdokyeom

stretching her arms above her head, sic lets out a long yawn, full from eating as she walks down the hallway to one of the practice rooms. she wipes at her eyes, scratches at her neck and ducks her head, humming a tune. digging her hand into her pocket, she tugs out her phone and glances over it, swiping away the notifications she doesn’t want to deal with at the moment and reading over the ones she cares about. her eyes flicker upwards, feet pausing when she sees the back of someone-- a sweatshirt on the form that sic swears to the high heavens is familiar in someway.

and then she grins, wide and wolfish-- pocketing her phone as she stalks to them quietly. if she recognizes the shirt, than of course she knows them, right? sic isn’t wrong (not usually). crouched a bit, she takes several quiet and slow steps until she’s closer, and then she lets out a small scream and jumps on their back, wrapping her arms around their neck. 

“i got you!” she shouts with a laugh, pushing her head forward and leaning towards them-- until the smile slips off her face and she stares at her face that is, familiar, but very unfamiliar at the same time. “oh. uh. you-- oh my god you’re not who i thought you were.”

sic thought it had been yuta, or jaebum, or youngjae or someone else; this one she knows but she’s so unfamiliar with them that this is very weird and definitely strange. scrambling off their back, she lets out a soft laugh, sheepish and utterly embarrassed. “wow. uh. this is-- fucking awful. wow, uh. not you-- just. sorry, i definitely...thought you were someone else...”

[yutark]

check in

@rkdokyeom

Space was something Yuta believed in when someone seemed upset about something. Just enough for them to sort their heads out. Even if he didn’t know for sure, Yuta had noticed Dokyeom had been a little off since the Sphere announcement. From what he knew of Ten and Dokyeom, it didn’t have much to do with a lost friendship -- and that left the last assumption to be that the other male had tried out and not made it. A few people had been like that. 

The sting of rejection was never easy to talk about, so when Yuta approached Dokyeom, he lazily reached out to pat the other trainees back in greeting.

“Yo, what’s up?” An English greeting rolling from his lips with a smile, tilting his head and looking around the studio. He assumed Dokyeom was training; it’s what Yuta would have done if he were in the same position. Train until he could prove he deserved it more than anyone else, just so when he stood on that stage in the future -- Sphere would regret their decision. “Need any help?” He asked, fingers curling on Dokyeom’s shoulder loosely as he let his arm hand there and studied the other boys expression. 

[rkkangjoon]

.really really don't wanna cry

@rkdokyeom Honestly Kang Joon didn't wanted to bother other trainees by asking them to perform with him. It seemed like most people knew well who they wanted to be with. Evaluations were meant to bring out the best in the trainees after all. Skillwise. The male sighed. These days he felt like people tended to ignore him more than listening to what he got to ask or say. It was as if he was nonexistent to them. But well, with a strong performance the struggle would fade away. They would see him, hear him. So the Royal trainee was thankful for one of his instructors to introduce him to a TRC trainee he thought of when pairing Kang Joon up. When they first met in the presence of the instructors, he was pretty impressed of the other trainee. Tall and strong and good looking he perfectly fitted to be trainee. Even though he was surprised that the other didn't teamed up with others without the instructors help. Maybe Kang Joon wasn't the only one to know the struggle. With a light bow he threw the other a smile while greeting him and introducing him a smile. "Hello, my name is Lee Seunghwan. Call me Kang Joon if you want. Nice to meet you." There wasn't much time to get to know the new friend and to plan a performance. But somehow they would manage.

[rkjxy]

introductory,

@rkdokyeom

innate brighter than light personality breeds itself in first encounter situations. a smile here, a cheerful greeting there, and she finally roots a temporary within-the-day fixture in the life of whomever she dared approach. in cases where she gets to see the other person in a day-to-day basis, she exerts extra effort. meaning straying along the conversation far longer than necessary with hopes to get to know the other personally. 

it’s been about a month and more ( yes, she’s highly aware ) since the new trainees filtrated the company. since then, she’s established some comfortable friendships. although satisfaction is hard to come by -- it’s like she can’t be sated unless she’s met them all.

so when opportunity presents itself, she’s bound to take it. 

red hair sways from the constraints of her ponytail as she heads for him. in an unoccupied practice room, she stands in front of him with a gracious smile. “hey! i hope i’m not imposing myself here but i don’t think we’ve met yet!” she starts, natural charm in full effect. “i’m joy and between you and me, i’d like to make it a mission to meet everybody.”

[rkconfessionary]

[I think it's great that Dokyeom didn't sign because of his own principles!]

[xrkdoyoung]

hi friends! i don’t know if any of y’all could’ve expected this but i’ll be dropping rkdoyoung haha. ummm, i guess maybe i’ve been sorta unhappy rping him? like i love him and i love the muse so very much. but i do believe that rkdoyoung’s journey should have ended. like sometimes trainees do give up after so long and they stop chasing after their dreams, i think that’s the case for this muse. 

yikes, idk what to say lol. but it’s been... a fun run with him and i don’t regret anything. i’m thankful for everyone he’s ever interacted with from when he was rkdokyeom to rkdoyoung and whatnot! he grew as a muse and he is/was my longest running rk muse at over 3years !!! that’s a record for me but it’s time to let go. :(( so thank you. 

tldr; uh doyoung dropped out of sphere pretty much. he went back to uni for business probably lol. but he still busks from time to time. < 3

SURPRISE ROOKIES!

Christmas festivities are upon us! The self proclaimed Queen of Christmas, Ahn Sohee, took it upon herself to spread the Christmas cheer. She set up camp in the Seocho Complex for a few days with a small table with a hand-made sign that said Secret Santa Sign-ups! Any muse who came up to her to sign-up was then contacted later with who their target is. She encouraged everyone when signing up to get to know the person they’ve been assigned. This event is for trainee muses only and is not restricted by company. People were assigned randomly (trainees are listed alphabetically under the read more).

It is not mandatory for your muse to participate in this secret santa event but it’ll be a good way to get some threads and have your muse meet someone new! Mod Carly has reviewed this list and gave their stamp of approval. Everyone please have fun with this! And if your muse is shy or struggling on what to get their assigned partner, I encourage your muse to talk to Sohee herself. She’s friendly and loves Christmas. If you have any questions, concerns, or issues, feel free to message me.

NOTE: All trainee muses are included under the read more. All secret santa gifts should be put into the receiving muse’s submissions. Any threads concerning the event should have the tag #rksanta17! Thank you guys for participating!

All trainees receiving the gifts has their URL tagged as to avoid any confusion! Have fun <3

* title track ,

@rkdokyeom

chanyeol prides himself on listening to all types of music from hip-hop to straight sugary pop, even to the country tunes to which his grandmother had been strangely addicted. a capella, however, is something he’s only experienced through television shows like glee or the popular pitch perfect trilogy. that’s not to say that he doesn’t enjoy it, of course; rather, it’s just not something he’s actively sought out to listen to. needless to say, he’s a little concerned when the march evaluations are announced and suddenly he has to perform in a musical style he barely knows anything about.

does he even know how to properly harmonize?

still, challenges have never held chanyeol back from anything. in fact, they only push him to do that much better, even if knows nothing about it. bluffing usually works out for him, but something tells him that won’t work this time around.

so, naturally, he has to take things one step at a time, and that means what song were they even to perform. he sits with one of his groups for the evaluation in a small circle on the floor of one of the practice rooms, knees pulled up to his chest with arms wrapped around his legs. the other two chanyeol doesn’t know as well, but at least he has dokyeom. finally, after a bit of radio silence on his end, he contributes.

“we can always go the old barbershop quartet and do for the longest time,” he quips. ah, chanyeol, the ever-so-helpful.

[rkleedongminie]

Royal Dance Practice Room.  1:47 am tw depressing thoughts

it’s late, he knows. 

he wonders briefly if kibum was still here, waiting on him. or if the older male had gone back home and was fretting about where he was. was his phone being blown up with calls and messages? he didn’t know. he was too busy watching the second episode of the royal survivor show again. watching his noona’s, and their expressions. 

of course he had heard the announcement about the sphere debut casting. he heard all about the company wanting to put together a new boy group. he heard all about how any boy from any company could audition for it. he just didn’t know what to make of it. 

since the incident in august with his parents, and then moving out to stay with kibum and rachel, dongmin has been in a state of confusion. he’s been putting all his effort forward for this months eval, trying to get his mind off all the swirling thoughts. trying not to focus on any of it. but it’s so hard not too. especially with this new announcement-- this new chance. isn’t that what everyone here is working for? to one day debut under a company and hopefully reach stardom? isn’t that why he’s in royal?

he loves royal. he loves everyone in royal, and the last four months in the company have been amazing. 

but to debut.... 

he knows what his mother would say. he can hear her in his head even now, even though he hasn’t spoken to her in almost two weeks. not since... not since he left. he can hear her though, perfectly and clearly. ‘this is it dongmin, this is what we’ve been working for.’ he knows she would push him to do this. take every opportunity. she doesn’t care if it’s royal, kt, or sphere-- as long as he debuts under a company. 

but.... 

he’s made such good friends in royal. he knows’ there is a chance he could still debut with them under sphere if they tried out and made it. he also knows there’s a chance they will go for it, and leave him behind. he could see kibum hyung making it easily, and baekhyun hyung too, and even jaehyun hyung would make it no doubt. and they’re all close friends. baekhyun hyung has sphere friends, he knows that much. kibum hyung... he’d do anything to stay with jaehyun hyung. 

leave him behind...... it’d be so easy to leave him behind... 

isn’t that what they all do anyway? 

....... he needs to talk to his cousin.
