"please tell me you didn't sleep with him."

by the animals

sori had not been told who she was going on a date with, instead she’d been given an item as a hint, the cloud pillow just made her more unsure though. she’d stared at the item for a while, twisting her brain around who it could be, but she had well, no idea. she was given the task of picking their date location, she would’ve liked knowing who she was going on a date with, so she could put into consideration where they would want to go, but she had no knowledge of her date yet. she picked the zoo, a place she’d never visited before, she wasn’t sure if this was a good date place because, well, she’s never been on a date before.

normally she doesn’t care much for what she’s wearing, but for today she’s carefully picked out an outfit. a white crop-top with an elephant print on it, a pair of long denim pants, a bow in her hair, and her make up has been done. she’s a bit nervous, because though this isn’t completely a real date, she still has no knowledge of dating nor flirting. she waits nervously besides the flamingos, staring at the pink birds until her date shows up.

GO! @lgchxneul

—their home › @pcrkhcneul

it wasn't until midnight that she returned, small sigh leaving her lips as she made her way throughout the house. the past few months had been hectic, exhaustion that had etched its way onto her features cleverly disguised by baleful sneers and sharp glares. it almost made inhye miss her loser husband. because it was only within these halls that she allowed herself to relax; that she could admit that she, too, was human. worry, regret, grief. even if she denied it to the world, she was unable to lie to herself. she stops at the entrance of the study, silently leaning against its frame. how many times had she taken this exact route, so sure that when she arrived, the room would be empty? that he'd finally had enough. with every step, a familiar schoolgirl chant — he loves, he loves me not. each passing day, another petal plucked from a blood-bloomed rose. AND YET? and yet, with each petal plucked, another stem sprouted from the base of her heart. when had he so firmly taken root? and how could she sever him — how could she tear out the weeds — without bleeding herself out? it's only after a long silence that she speaks, gaze never wavering from where he sits. 〝 this room has a good view. 〞 said with just as much innocence as a wolf disguised to be little red riding hood.

what the duck is going on

hyoseop had been enjoying being outside even more lately. he’d always been a guy who was outside a lot, but usually to work out, go running, swimming, playing with a ball, but lately he’d enjoyed just being outside, going for a walk and enjoying the world around him. when he could find time for it, he’d go outside. he’d become smarter about it too, usually when he went for a walk he’d be wearing sandals and a t-shirt, now he’d bought a pair of shoes and was wearing a grey cardigan.

he sits by a pond in the park, watching some ducks swim around, it’s quite calming watching them, and he’s so relaxed he wouldn’t even be surprised if he fell asleep, that of course doesn’t last long. a duck swims his way and at first he doesn’t think too much of it, then when it comes closer he stands up, and soon he finds himself running, getting chased by a duck.

“someone! please stop this duck” he yells as he continues running.

run like a chicken

“why in the world would you give me a chicken?” ria’s look switches between her friend and the creature in the little cage she has. “i’m not giving it, i’m lending it” her friend returns, “still don’t get it”, there’s a sigh that escapes her friend’s lips before she continues. “my family is eating it for christmas, but we’re flying to japan for a few days so i needed someone to look after it in the meantime!”. “and why me?” “because?”.

and that’s how this started, she’s walking home (or technically to her brother’s place, but he’s not sleeping there at the moment), a chicken in a cage in one hand, quite regretting she said yes, there’s already two pets to take care of at home, can she handle three? and then she does something she doesn’t think of harmful at all, she walks through the part, her arms needs a rest and she places down the cage. oh. it escaped.

and she runs “stop that chicken! stop it!”.

for @behaneul

seojun felt a bit lost. sure he knew he could have done better but there was always that nagging feeling like he had let everyone down and he hated feeling that way. at least he knew this would push him to do better plus the perfectionist in him would make sure it happened.

that's why he's seeking the comfort of his best friend, wanting to be near him. plus he knew haneul could always make him feel better even while the two of them were practicing. he kept close to the other before he decided he should be practicing instead. he didn't wanna be rusty at all if he could help it.

"hannie, do you know if there's something i can do better to make myself not fade away into the background?" he couldn't help but ask the other, wanting to know if his best friend knew something. "it's fine if you don't know. it's just been on my mind."

he lets himself stretch a bit before he finds himself beside the other, nuzzling against him a bit. he was feeling extra affectionate at the moment and knew his indifference would take over later at some point.

@babyitsmagic whoopsie there was a prison break

“you’re here! hi! you’re here!”

[bejaeyoung]

funnily enough, jay’s brain followed the workshop about behind-the-scenes things a lot better than the acting classes. then again, jay never delved into acting business before. his sister, on the other hand, would have a better time doing all the acting. maybe his sister would sign into sr media? he knows the subject of being a trainee is a sore spot though, so he won’t talk about it in a while.

it was a little interesting, listening to the intricacies of angles and lighting. honestly, jay doesn’t think it’d be his thing either, but it does give him a lot more insight into performances as a whole. they’d have cameras around them at all times, meaning they’d also have to keep angles in mind. it’s knowledgeable, would be useful in the future. he even took his notebook up, this time.

time for practical application, though. he’s holding a camera, pointing it towards @behaneul with a mischievious smile. “look over here, hyung!” he calls out, running towards the other menacingly ( not that he needs to, it’s not like haneul can leave the class either ). “let me practice on you, i think i would know all your best angles.” he teases. “i’ve seen a few of them, after all!” he says, shoving the lenses to the other boy, playing around with the settings as he does. there’s no escape.

♡ | mission debriefing // @okayhaneul​

the vast change in deiji and haneul’s relationship over the course of a year or so should be studied. there were relics of their past banter in her memory that only served as icky smudges scattered over the pages of their memoir. what ever shift that was given to them to persue had made her old thoughts about him sour, shriveling up and pruning and without elegance. there was no more tension brimming beneath insults, only insaitiable rage that could only be acquired by those who shared blood and family.

now there was a stone wall around her with his stamp on it, and there wasn’t many men around that daisy would allow such stocky arms of protection to engulf her. but haneul’s space in her life had begun to fill a similar absent hole that his partner had when she’d first come into daisy’s life.

there were hardly any incidents to which deiji was allowed the grace of getting the dorm to herself, but the moment the weeks schedules were sent out, she’d jumped at the opportunity for a well needed conversation. she’d even gone as far to brew tea for the two of them, though for her own nerves more than his cloud to catch the blow back of what she needed from him. “i don’t think i have to ask you if someone saw you come here.” she noted letting him into her and the three other girls shared space. 

“before you start stinking up the place with your ‘boy’ i should be done but...yeah, i need a favor.” deiji motioned to the plush couch asking him to sit before taking her space on the other side of it.

continued for @popvlcr from the source

"and i'm starting to think that you should stop assuming i don't know things." getting off on the totally wrong foot there. it doesn't help that she's not in charge of hiring her own bodyguard; if she was, she'd have hired a girl instead. "there's nothing in your job description about breathing down my literal neck. i can feel your grimy breath on my skin. ugh. move."

[lgcminki]

new beginnings.

truth be told, minki hadn't expected this turn of events. the truth is, he was expecting the worst result to come out of his audition for new kids new dreams ( was it an audition? it felt more like a job interview, honestly ). but now here he is, assigned trial member of the group. and if he keeps up with all that's being asked of him, he could be one of the core members. well, minki doesn't quite know how to feel about it yet. that doesn't mean he isn't grateful, far from it. many trainees would kill for this position and luck, he shouldn't waste this chance, right?

he isn't alone in all these complicated emotions though, he knows that @lgchxneul is also part of the trial members roster. it's not all that strange for minki to approach the other boy, a sheepish smile on his face, hoping to connect what with their sudden similar predicament. "how are you feeling?" he starts, the most civil conversational opener. "honestly, i wasn't expecting it from the interview i did. kind of need someone to pinch me right now. what about you?"

[okayhaneul]

haneul didn't know how the hell danbi convinced him to do this. actually, that was a lie. he knew exactly how. all she had to do was throw a pout with those sad puppy eyes and the bodyguard was compelled to give her whatever she wanted. it was a weakness that she exploited often, much like any younger sister would with their older brother. and that was pretty much what she was in every sense of the word. after failing his own brother so miserably during their youth, the man was secretly more determined than ever to make things right with the new youngins in his life.

so that was how, despite his disdain for cameras, haneul found himself in front of one. danbi had been dying to film a tiktok with him for a while. han finally agreed along with the condition that he didn't have to dance. he did that once with somi and that was more than enough for a lifetime. " wait, so. . . all i have to do is clap when you say 'give me my money' ? " the bodyguard clarified with furrowed eyebrow. this didn't make any sense to him but hell, if it made her happy. " . . . why ? "

dance partner

noel would’ve never guessed how much dancing would become a part of his life. noel had gone most of his life barely even thinking about dance, he danced at the club (if it could be considered dancing, he was basically just jumping up and down), but he’d never really given dance a chance. he saw a busking performance, a fellow friend dancing, and it got him interested. it was crazy to think about, something he started a year ago, and now it was such big part of his life, he loved dancing, and he wished to continue dancing for a long time.

he finds himself in the practice room with haneul ( @behaneul ) , a fellow lime entertainment trainee. “do you wanna try learning a choreography together? when it comes to dance i have a tendency to practice alone”. he was quick to ask for help for singing and rapping, because he sucked at that, but his dance wasn’t all bad, so he felt comfortable in practicing alone, but he always did love practicing with other people.

“i got an extra bottle of water if you’re thirsty by the way”.

[lgcsori]

nice landing?

sori had always been busy, but legacy kept finding ways to make her more busy. in high school she was apart of almost every club, then she had tons of jobs, and she’s always made sure to have time for studying. becoming a trainee meant she had to figure out putting practice into her schedule, and it was easy enough until she joined future dreams and then legacy girls japan. legacy girls japan had just ended and sori was ready for some calm, but she’d been added to fabula and continued staying busy.

she’s quickly gone to the bathroom, and was running back to the practice room, every moment was important, she had a lot of dances to learn. she doesn’t even realize there’s someone in the hallway until she runs straight into them, quickly landing on her butt.

“ouch!”.

GO! @lgchxneul

[beyuwol]

› passion, young, fever … ☽

yuwol can probably count the amount of friends—real friends—he has with one hand, whereas close friends would be a debatable existence in his life. if he was forced to pick a very select few—think; three? less than?—then ( @behaneul ) would be one of them. what started out as fellow parents pitting their children together for performances blossomed into a true friendship ( at least yuwol thinks so, as much as yuwol is capable of making friends ). he doesn't wonder whether the feeling is mutual either, but it seems to be. it's not something that needs affirmation.

they're close enough to hang out as christmas approaches at least, reindeer headbands perched on their heads as they exit a photobooth and head on over to a cafe. the market offers many things, and they barely conquered a quarter of everything. yuwol doesn't have the energy to match haneul's when it comes to a quest of exploration, so he's grateful for the moment to recuperate with a cup of coffee. they can continue their adventure afterwards.

or maybe not.

the two of them barely got their orders in before yuwol's phone is ringing. peering at the caller id and reading the words father, yuwol could only sigh. "sorry about that, give me a bit," he tells haneul, picking up his phone and answering the call.

it's nothing yuwol hadn't expected: his father firmly insisting him not to waste too much time with friends rather than practicing, reminding him of the upcoming christmas performance at church. what yuwol wasn't able to foresee was the mention of haneul's mother. there's no doubt a flash of surprise in his eyes for a minute there, which haneul might've caught wind of. he schools his expression rather swiftly once the waitress comes with their orders though, and yuwol ends the call with an "okay" directed towards his father.

putting his phone down, he pulls his newly arrived drink closer to himself, playing with the straw as he hums. "so, not to ruin the festive mood, but you're gonna want to strap in for this." he informs, hoping that was enough of a warning for the other. "that was my dad, and he said your mom is about to call me soon."

maybe yuwol doesn't know the nitty and gritty details of haneul's relationship with his mother, but he can feel a sort of kinship with haneul. their circumstances are probably similar, except haneul had managed to escape that cage successfully. yuwol has no intention of shoving haneul back inside. "i was told to answer no matter what. my dad told me to 'behave'." ironic, in yuwol's perspective. "anything you don't want me to tell her?"
