every time chaerin met one of the next gen contestants in the axis building, it still felt a little weird. here she was, standing side by side with jiayi when only a couple of months ago, she had been helping coach her for the competition show.

this was all to say that she was proud of the progress they've all made, and the fact that they were now equals. the annual axis halloween party had returned, and chaerin was kind of glad they took out the whole horror maze part from last year. trying to get out of the building was a hassle, and she much preferred this laid-back atmosphere instead.

"halloween's never been one of my favorite holidays, but i feel like i've grown to like it a bit more ever since i became a trainee," she mentioned to jiayi with a shrug. "maybe it's because it's become a day where i actually have to do something now." the last time she's dressed up for halloween before becoming a trainee was probably back when she was elementary school. since then, it hadn't been much work celebrating.

a starter for @bejiayi ( language 101 )

yuji figured a language workshop wouldn't be that much different than the usual classes offered. turns out, as she's learning, it's a lot more difficult. yuji's got the basics down, but it's a far cry from being anywhere close to fluent, much less able to hold a conversation.

she stares down at her notes, teeth worrying her lip before she glances over to her seatmate, jiayi. she doesn't know much about the girl at all, other than the fact she was a signee from next gen. studio delta, if she remembers correctly.

"do you wanna run through the examples with me?" yuji asks in a lull during the workshop, brief time to practice with their seatmates before they move into the next lesson. looking over the simple phrases they've learned and how they're broken down. "two heads are better than one." she jokes lightly, a ghost of a smile on her mouth.

jueun was aware that idols had to be good at pretty much everything now. that's why she wasn't surprised that axis labels was trying to emphasize the importance of acting when it came to stage presence. however, jueun would argue that she already was pretty good at acting on stage. that is what she was complimented on while participating in next gen as well.

nevertheless, listening to these lessons couldn't do more harm than good, so she was sitting down, waiting for the trainers to enter. "how much help do you think this will really be?" she asked jiayi with a purse of her lips. admittedly, she wanted to see how the trainee life was really like, but they had been thrown into this special workshop, which means this wouldn't be their daily lives as trainees.

"i can see where it'll help, but i don't know. i guess i'd like to get more feedback on my singing and dancing first. do you get what i mean?" with that, she gave the other a shrug before blowing a piece of hair off her face. "though i'm sure it'll be helpful eventually."

* ♪ – welcome aboard

joomi watched the second season of next gen mainly out of support for ren and dohyun, but he got invested in the contestants' journeys as well by the end. needless to say, he was excited to see who his ceo chose to join studio delta.

song jiayi and song jaeyoung, plus stevie. he likes to give himself a bit of credit for stevie joining, but the other two were all ceo yoon, and he thinks they were good choices. jay, no doubt, fits the studio delta mold perfectly. jiayi is very talented, so he was 99% sure she would get signed - he just didn't know where. in the end, he's glad it's delta. they'll be better for having her.

joomi managed to catch the guys on the morning of their first day, but he doesn't run into jiayi until dinner.

he's honestly relieved he finally found her. he excuses himself from his table with his friends, and takes his tray, making his way over to where jiayi sits - alone, currently. joomi had jinyoung on his first day to be new with, and dohyun and ren were already his friends, so he didn't have to deal with the alienation of being new and not knowing many people. it must suck. hopefully he can prevent some of that from setting in for jiayi.

"hi," he greets her with a soft smile. "welcome to delta. can i sit with you?" he figures she'll say yes, but he doesn't want to assume. who knows, maybe jiayi likes eating alone.

one shot, one shot

< w. @bejiayi >

the stakes are rising everyday. this is the furthest stevie's ever been in next gen ever, officially-- it's a pretty impressive feat, he thinks. he really has felt like he's grinded a lot. and he's improving, which is all that he can hope to do, at this point.

outside of the coaches, he doesn't know the others well-- but they seem nice enough! and stevie's been able to coast through social gatherings meeting new people easily-- especially when they all have a common interest keeping them altogether.

or mission, rather-- but who cares! semantics, whatever that means.

"the bass drop into this part goes a little hard, so like..." he trails off, brow furrowed humming the beat under his breath as he moves his arms around. trying to find what feels right; they have some semblance of choreography done-- and stevie's trying to conjure up more ideas that fits with the beat. while also keeping in line with their concept.

he meets jiayi's eyes through the mirror, head cocking to the side. "what do you think about this?" he makes the motion of throwing his arms up roughly, feet moving loosely with the motion. "looks kinda powerful? maybe? might fit with the drop."

[betouma]

stakes.

there's a lot at stake this time around, seeing as this will be the first round of eliminations. he believes his team can do well, after a session of brainstorming they've decided to emphasize more on their strengths, though that doesn't mean completely getting rid of their weak points. on the other hand, they should show that they've been working on what they lack, right? that's what the judges want form him, after all.

it's no doubt that his strength is dance out of the big three though, that seems to be the case for the others as well. which is why they've incorporated a dance break into their version of the song. they'd just have to figure out how it'll go. that's one of the reasons why he's having a brainstorming session with @bejiayi, two heads work better than one.

"so, how about these extra steps?" touma asks, before he hits play on the remixed song and starts moving. the song's choreography is about formation and purposeful arm movements. touma thinks he should go with that theme, hoping to keep the rotation even too. it's powerful too, electric as well. with the lyrics and song title centering around something deadly. so, that's probably how they should act and perform.

he ends on a step, not faltering. he knows he needs to work on his singing, but it's comforting to know that dance is still with him. hopefully that stays. "what about that?" he turns to jiayi, ready for feedback from his teammate. "oh, and facial expressions would be really important."

"you're both the opening and ending of this song, jiayi!" chaerin noted before looking down at the lyric sheet in her hand. she wondered if the other felt any pressure about being given such an important task because if chaerin was in her shoes, she think she'd be pretty nervous.

"the lines aren't much, but they are pretty important," she explained with a nod before singing out the opening line herself to show jiayi what she was talking about. her intention wasn't to put so much pressure on jiayi, but she knew how the opening and ending lines of any song could really make or break the performance.

it's not that she had no faith in jiayi, but she wanted the other to continue to prove to the judges that she had the star quality that they were looking for. or, at least, that's what chaerin believed whenever she saw jiayi on stage. "i'm sure you'll do find, but just make sure to keep that in mind."

"i'm really glad we ended up on the same team."

jueun looks over to give jiayi a scrunch of her nose as she leans over onto the other's shoulder to monitor what they've just recorded together. while preparing for do better, jueun had striken up a conversation with quite a lot of people, but she remembers jiayi a little more fondly than some of the others.

maybe it was the way she was so gentle with her words, and how she was the one to approach jueun first, but she was ecstatic to hear their names called together. "hmm, i think we can work on syncing the dance break together a little more, like work on the timing a bit so it looks like we're all moving as one," she commented before reaching over and replaying the video at the same place.

the group had gone ahead and rearranged the song to include their strengths a little more, and jueun was pretty confident in the ability of her other members, but she really wanted to do well, especially with eliminations on the line this time around.
