“what’s wrong with that?” jaehwa asked in a high-pitched, playful tone before breaking into laughter. she knew exactly what the other meant but since she was already acting as one of the youngest, she might as well lean into it. besides, she was getting better at staying in character, teasing her peers without breaking composure.

“you mean the part where i’m yours?” she asked, returning the bow before settling down next to milan. as she listened to the little confession, she slowly brought her hands up to clutch her chest dramatically. this wasn’t the first time jaehwa had heard something like this. during fanmeets, many fans had confessed their admiration, about how she had impacted their lives, inspired them to follow their dreams, and become someone they looked up to. yet, somehow, hearing it from people still warmed her heart. knowing that there is always someone who supported her work felt just as meaningful.

“aww, thank you! that’s so sweet of you to say,” she said with a smile. “i’m sure we’ll get even closer by the end of this. in fact, i’ve been curious to learn more about my juniors.”

milan might be bad at 'flirting', she's not bad at reading the room, so she doesn't miss the slight annoyance on jaehwa's feature. in any other situation, she probably would've gulped and apologized quickly (crystallis members truly scare her), but with cameras around, this would only do for good variety content. her smile barely falters too!

the younger's laughter isn't faked, though, because jaehwa's act truly amuses her. "why does this feel kind of wrong?" she asks, referring to being called unnie by her senior.

a little more calmly, she bows her head to thank the other woman. "thank you for accepting my sudden confession. i'm bad at flirting but i'm i really mean it!" she pulls her legs to her chest and wraps her arms around them while she rocks back and forth. "you're really pretty and talented. i've watched all your dramas and i can't look away from you when you're on stage. i hope we can get closer, sunbaenim!" there's nothing bashful in her words (when is she ever bashful anyway?), still they are truthful.

FAB FOUR ✱ a group thread with @lgcakio , @lgcbaekhyun & @lgcyushin

Anyone could see that Seojin was brimming with enthusiasm from the moment his team was settled. Although random, he was convinced there was some sort of higher power that decided to bless him with so many of his favorite people. Seeing Baekhyun for more than a few hours after quite some time ever since he debuted in another group was certainly welcome, too. ( And he definitely never complained about spending more time with Akio and Yushin. )

To top it all off, they just so happened to all choose a song he liked quite a bit from his favored LGC girl group. He enters the practice room with a rare expression plastered on his face — something reminiscent of a smile. In one hand, he carries an eight pack of electrolyte drinks in various flavors; in the other is a pack with plenty of snacks that his teammates enjoy. He tried to get their favorites. It would be more than enough to get them through the practice for the day.

"Snack run done!" He exclaims, setting both items down before stretching his arms over his head. His eyes immediately fall to Akio, light smirk dancing on his lips. He is still partially amused from their little yaja time episode from the other day.

"Hyung, you should pick first, right?"

jaehwa was unsure about cream soda. she loved the dance aspect, especially the opportunity to explore different styles, but some parts of the concept carried a suave vibe that made her question if she could pull it off. still, it was a challenge she was ready to tackle. who knows? maybe she’d end up looking great in a stylish tux.

her role in team versus, however, was a dilemma on its own. she couldn’t decide which was better: being one of the oldest and finally getting to order the younger ones around or being playfully treated as one of the youngest by the actual younger members. back in crystallis, slipping into her role had been easy since she was one of the youngest by age. but when milan decided to toss out all formalities (no thanks to yaja time) and call her by her full name, jaehwa couldn’t hide her surprise. a fleeting expression of annoyance crossed her face before she quickly masked it.

with her brightest smile, she channeled all her inner child energy and sprinted toward the younger older member. “unnie! i’m officially yours now!” she squealed in a high-pitched tone, fighting the goosebumps rising on her arms.

EVENT: AAA SPECIAL STAGE POST TYPE: STARTER FOR @lgcjaehwa TITLE: YAJA TIME

it only takes milan three minutes to forget her anguish over her song pick. don't get her wrong, 'cream soda' is an amazing song, and any nova member can attest that it was a staple of milan's shower concerts for several months. the issue is milan herself and her lack of... suavity. if she manages to keep herself from smiling during the performance, it would be miracle already.

but back to the practice room. yes, it only takes her three minutes to forget why they are gathered here, thanks to the staff announcement. as much as she's happy about being one of youngest in the group, being the youngest and suddenly becoming the oldest is actually thrilling. and therefore, she's quick to target one of the true oldest member of the group (now a youngest thanks to yaja time). placing her hands around her mouth as if she's shouting, she shots her shot before thinking twice. "jaehwa sun--" habits catch up fast. "i mean, ahn jaehwa! you! be mine!" she declares.

in any other situation, milan wouldn't have been able to approach a crystallis member so casually. but life is meant to be lived and not regretted, so there goes nothing.
