     rehearsals were so irrelevant to silver at this point. they’d been doing the same fucking setlist for nearly a year, except for the occasional addition or two. everyone already knew their lines, their steps, everything. so, the days flora had to go to the venue for practice felt like a total waste of their times. with her sunglasses on and a iced coffee in hand, the leader slunk through the hallway backstage, heading in the direction of the dressing rooms. according to their manager, the girl groups were the ones at the aztec stadium today for a stage rehearsal. she prayed to whatever god that existed that she wouldn’t have to deal with another run-in with hwang deiji. however, the moment she rounded the corner and spotted ayoung, the leader realized that maybe she should have added a certain other person on her ‘do not run into’ list.

    silver paused at the sight of the braveheart manager, contemplating on if she should just keep walking or not. after a beat, she decided on the later. the brunette’s lips quirked downward as she removed her shades, nodding her head in acknowledgement at her former friend. “ hey. ” she replied simply. at the very least, she could keep things professional. “ is braveheart rehearsing first, or us ? ” flora’s team being incompetent ( as always ) hadn’t been clear on that. so if nothing else, at least ayoung could give her clarification.

" that's not a meal, unnie ! but it does sound yummy. " jinnie giggled as she took a seat on the couch, eagerly reaching out for the to-go bag. once everything was unboxed and placed on to the coffee table, the maknae clapped her hands happily as she took in the scent. it smelt like samgyeopsal and her stomach rumbled at the thought. that sounded so yummy right about now. as much as she enjoyed traveling to new places, nothing would beat the food back home. " there's plenty for us to share. " she declared as she popped open the container of rice. thankfully, the restaurant packed enough utensils for the both of them. ayoung has no choice but to join her and eat well.

the brunette smiled at the manager's excitement, glancing up to see what was inside of the garment bag. her eyes lit up in delight. " that's so cute. " zeroing in on the pink wool top, jinnie admired the sight. it looked like something she would pair with her everyday outfits. she wondered if the brand would let her keep it after the photoshoot. " i love it. " she expressed her approval, smiling up at ayoung as she pointed at the next bag. " that one next. " as the older woman handled the clothes, jinnie fixed up to plates so that the both of them could eat. " do you think these will look good on me ? " the modeling and fashion side were definitely the most nerve-wracking part of being an idol, so far. much like variety shows, the maknae didn't enjoy them as much because she felt so anxious about being perceived. when she was on stage, it was easy for her to become someone else. but having people scrutinize her real life appearance or personality ? that was the worst.

➜ ayoung couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips at the maknae greeted her. she was too precious for words and that wasn't just bias being braveheart's manager. if anyone was the phrase, "to know her was to love her" incarnate, it was park yunjin. "i got myself one of those 700 calorie coffees, so it's basically a meal, yeah?" she laughed, nodding towards the large coffee that was overdecorated with whipped cream, chocolate shaving, and chocolate sauce. it was a bad habit but she loved milkshakes and she loved coffee so she just couldn't say no.

at the mention of the selection, ayoung grew a bit giddy. "okay, so!" she began, hanging them on the rack that had just been wheeled in. "i did some wheeling and dealing and got you the absolute best fits-- not to toot my own horn!" her warm smile was replaced with a proud smirk as she opened the garment bags. "i don't care who else is a brand ambassador or working in the collection, you got the best. we have this number, a pink wool top with an accompanying white skirt of the same fabric. how cute, right?"" she turned to jinnie, hoping she would be as excited about the fit as she was. "this is just the first outfit. we have three more! which bag next?"

For an idol who had been in the industry for over ten years, he certainly should know better than sneaking out of the hotel without security. But it wouldn’t be Seok if he weren’t reckless, and he hadn’t really thought that he would get followed all the way to Mexico. It wasn’t the first time, but Minseok had been too busy with his comeback and everything that he had forgotten how dangerous this all could be. The soloist was enjoying some street food when he noticed the flash in his eyes. Like a deer caught in headlights, Minseok had looked around until he found them, and knew he was fucked.

Although he had texted Haneul (knowing he was fucked up completely), he knew nobody would ever be as fast to arrive there on time. He forgot all about his food at the table and got up, trying to find a way out. In his rush, he hadn’t noticed the person next to him until it was too late and they bumped into each other. Minseok was about to apologize when he recognized one of Braveheart's managers, and felt like he just was having a bad day. Of course, one manager would tell another, and soon his manager would know. Forget the problem he would get once his brother read the text, his team would have his head. But there was no time to focus on anything, so he reached for her arm and gently pulled her out of the way. "I'm sorry, Ayoung-ssi. But there's two people following me and we have to get out of here pronto."

➜ a gasp filled with horror and confusion left ayoung’s lips and she swore if they had been in a tv show, a record would’ve scratched and the audience would’ve been so quiet you could hear a pin drop. it felt so very surreal, like she was in some cheesy, daytime soap opera or poorly written drama. she had avoided seonhwa for her entire six month tenure and had previously been certain that the girls would keep her busy enough to continue to avoid the rose haired woman.

“oh, seonhwa.” the words barely came out above that of a whisper. they were caught in her throat and began to turn into a ball with words that wanted to follow after them. she was suddenly aware of how dry her mouth and lips were, a tongue dipping out from between her lips in an attempt to impart some moisture. it was of little use as she stared the familiar face in the eyes.

they say there’s two options; fight or flight but that isn’t really true, is it? there’s fight, flight, fawn, or freeze and ayoung had been frozen in place by the soloist. most of the feeling was shame that seemed to weigh her down like lead had replaced the blood in her veins. seonhwa bringing up eunji snapped her back into a focus and onto the subject at hand.

“deiji won’t answer me. she keeps sending me to voicemail so i won’t be getting any help from her.”

"Ayoung," she greeted with a nod. They had nothing to talk about, and if the other woman stayed far away from her, Seonhwa would be happy. But since Ayoung was now Braveheart's manager and Seonhwa was close to the girls, it had been just a matter of time before an encounter happened. She would have preferred having other people around so she could pretend the other wasn't there, but it couldn't be helped.

Another nod. What was she supposed to say to that? Seonhwa was sure that if she called Deiji, her call would be answered, but no need to pour lemon on an open wound. In reality, Seonhwa hadn't really followed Ayoung's path - she had never actually paid attention to the group she was in, not even whenever they got to do promotions on music shows at the same time. It had been sad when she heard about what happened to them, and she was glad that nothing fatal had come as a result of it. But other than that, this was truly the first time she had seen Ayoung in person in a very long time.

"I hope you're doing well. I was surprised to hear you were joining Infinite as Braveheart's manager." With her family's connections and money, it was interesting to think that being the manager of another girl group would be her choice of career. But it was difficult to think what she would do if she were in the other's shoes, having a dream taken away from her. Maybe helping other idols would be something she would choose to do. "Do you like working here?"

[xojinnie]

jinnie hoped this all wouldn't last too long. of course, she was happy to come to the infinite building for a fitting but with her family in town, she wanted to spend as much time with them as possible. she'd promised her grandmother that this would take an hour, two max, and then they could head to the dongdaemun market to shop to their heart's content. she wanted to make sure she kept that promise.

" unnie, hi ! " she perked up at the familiar voice, waving at ayoung. though the woman was considered a newer addition to the braveheart team, it was the maknae's nature to welcome anyone with open arms. at the mention of lunch, her eyes lit up. " food, always. i hope you brought enough for us to share. i can't eat if you're not eating too. " the brunette dropped onto the couch. her hands clapped together in anticipation for the meal. " have you seen the clothes ? do you like them ? " this fitting was to prepare her for an upcoming miu miu campaign, and she was really excited to see the selections.

➜ oh to have a maknae, ayoung thought to herself as she watched jinnie with a soft smile. having been the leader of iluvu meant she was all too familiar with the inner dynamics of a group. it also meant that she had a built in soft spot for the youngest member of braveheart by default. if it hasn't already been so inate due to her past, it was a done deal once she had met jinnie in person. so bright. so lovely. do effervescent. the true embodiment of a maknae in human form.

"miss jinnie!" ayoung called, having mustered the nerve to interrupt whatever it was that was bringing such a smile to her face. "I have your lunch and some clothing for you to try on ahead of a shoot.' she nodded towards the bag of food behind her, her arm beginning to grow tired as she held the outfits up high by their hanger to avoid them dragging on the floor. "which first: food or fitting?"

➜ a frown tugged at ayoung’s lips as she looked at the text that had popped up on her lockscreen. julian was curious if she had seen eunji, one of the braveheart members, which made her anxiety spike and her heart flutter in her chest. she tried to remind herself they were just starting the tour and a lot needed to be ironed out and not knowing where a member was at that exact second wasn’t the end of the world but she still couldn’t help the slight tinge of worry that seemed to plague her so often. pushing the feeling to the back of her mind, she texted back that she was going to check around the stadium offices just to see if maybe she was hanging around the cafeteria or practice rooms.

as she turned the corner a seemingly familiar figure caught her eye as the owner turned down their own hall and out of sight. breaking into a slight jog, she tried to catch up to the girl, her hand reaching for her shoulder once she was within reach. “eunji, julian said he’s been texting you all day. why haven’t y- oh! you’re not eunji. i’m so sorry!” she stuttered out an apology, bowing deeply to convey her embarrassment and sincerity. she could feel her cheeks burning and placed a hand to her cheek, cursing herself for being so bold to assume it had been eunji in the first place.

♕ Being the first to do soundcheck was part of her contract to do this tour, so she could use the rest of the time to get ready for the concert. Once it was over, and she was satisfied by it, it was about lunchtime and she hoped there was a place anywhere near to get a salad the way she liked it. A new stop meant another stadium to get used to, but considering it wasn't her first time giving a concert in Mexico City, the soloist was actually more relaxed than usual. It was nice when they went to a known place, because it was easier to get things done than when they had to explore the place before it. Although it was a huge place, she knew it was possible to find her way to her waiting room without having to call her manager.

The footsteps behind her weren't unusual, with so many people running around doing their thing, so she simply kept texting her manager so they could decide on lunch. The gentle touch on her shoulder, however, had the short singer jumping in surprise. Seonhwa turned around as she pulled her hood off her head, pink hair bright under the lights as she met with a familiar face. It wasn't so much a surprise, as she had seen the former idol around in the past few months, but although she had a close relationship with two of the Braveheart members, she hadn't really been in the same room as Ayoung. "It's alright. I haven't seen Eunji, but maybe you can ask Deiji? She usually knows where her girls are." It was a real talent, actually, to always know no matter where they were. But the younger was a great leader, after all.
