continued for @ameliiorate from the source

"oh good, someone's keeping count." make no mistake — the fact that she's lost count is reflective of her indifference ( numbness, more like ) to it all. eventually, it will end; that's what she's been telling herself anyway. "i agree," hanuel murmurs back, her posture relaxed in the way one would be around their 'beloved'. like there was no need to be on guard. let the paparazzi come! that was the whole point of this stunt, right? "i'm partially pissed because our release should top the charts thanks to our acting. not," she gestures a line between them both, "this."

“this would never work out as anything other than what we already are.” a hand gestures between the miniscule space between them as he steps back. he could give them the clichéd excuse of it’s not you, it’s me and it would be true, but haneul knows that’s not what they want to hear. so he instead leaves them to guess as the reason to why he is rejecting the pull of gravity that has been drawing them ever closer together for the last few months. “it’s best not to even start something that will only end in disaster.” keeping what they have is the safest thing they can do, as haneul is not ready to bet on himself. it’s not worth the risk, their friendship far too precious for him to gamble.

choco frenzy.

minki is, admittedly, not a cook — even less of a baker. he isn’t entirely sure whether he managed to pick the right intricacies with flavour when it comes to his personal chocolate. the most he could do was quick research on his phone in hopes that he’ll find a recipe that sticks, and he discussed it with the expert in great length ( as much as he could in the time that was given to him ), but he can only hope that whatever he prepared would be good for the fans.

either way, it’s already time for the photoshoot and whatever he has created is probably already pre packaged by this point. while waiting for further instructions alongside @lgchxneul, minki lets out a small sigh. “what was your chocolate-constructing process like? do you think the fans will like it? honestly, i’d just be glad if what i made wasn’t poisonous at least,” he laughs. “i felt like i was using up so much of the chocolatier’s time making sure what i’m talking about sounds edible.”

@behaneul

seojun knows that things chance but he can't help but be a little sad he isn't rooming with haneul anymore. sure he'd get used to it but the other male had always been his comfort and now he'd have to just get used to waking up and seeing one of their other members instead. he doesn't let that ruin things for him with their debut preparations though. if anything he'd more pumped up then ever, ignoring the way his nerves were hitting him. so much was happening and his emotions were just all over the place.

right now, he's preparing to take the photos for their debut teasers and can't help but watch haneul doing his. a smile spreads across his lips as he watches, taking in the other's features as he poses in the right ways he's asked. he's so down bad that it hurts and he hasn't even confessed his feelings to his best friend yet. "you did so well, hannie. looked very handsome." he complimented once he saw the other male step away from the cameras. he couldn't help himself and wanted to slip in a compliment for his best friend.

we see each other again

making friends have never really been sori’s priority, always valuing studying and practice higher. she used to be bad at making friends because she saw everyone as her rival or enemy, now she’s not sure why it’s so difficult to make friends. not that she feels like she’s lacking in friends, she doesn’t have a lot, but she’s happy with what she got. but she stayed up late the other night, wondering why it was so difficult, and did she need to care about it?

walking into the cafeteria today she’d decided on something, she wouldn’t sit with her members, she’d sit with a stranger and attempt to befriend them. sori wasn’t that brave though, and though she managed not to sit with her members, she walks over to a familiar face that she just hasn’t seen in a hot minute. “hey haneul” she attempts to smile to the other “mind if i sit here with you?” please say yes, please, sori doesn’t have the strength to ask more than one person today.

GO! @lgchxneul

belgian cuisine

travelling to belgium to film a music video was exciting, but there was something about belgium that was more exciting than the music video filming: the food. noel didn’t actually know much about belgian food, but he was still excited to try it. noel was a food lover, he valued food and was excited to taste something new, something he couldn’t get in korea.

on their off day, noel finds himself along haneul ( @behaneul ) , the other seeming just as interested in trying the belgian food as noel is. “i’ve heard they got good beers too” he nods a bit, looking shortly at haneul before returning his look to the camera. “fries are belgian, aren’t they? i feel like we need to try them, i’m curious if they’re different from fries in korea and canada”. “is there any food you’d like to try?”.

—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!”.

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.

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.

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.

♡ | 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.
