✱ TRACK 014

⸻ VERSUS MISSION / Q2 schedules

There is a suffocating pressure that weighs on Seojin's shoulders. Not only is the filming of the song camp his first official appearance as a member of V&A — and more importantly: Versus — but he is expected to join them for a popular magazine photoshoot and stand with them on stage at the Waterbomb festival and KCON, of all things. There are certain expectations from the fans. An introduction via his producing skill in particular is not something he came to expect, nor did he think he would have his entrance on the heels of two departures. The shoes he's meant to fill seem like rather big ones when he views them from afar.

His confidence wavers like an unsteady tide against a beach. Just as he thinks he is sure, he takes a step back into choppy waters that pull at his legs. Becoming too certain about what comes next only meets him with things like disappointment and second-guessing himself. It is not the first time a promise of debut has been dangled in front of him in such a tantalizing way. He is confirmed, he practices — he waits.

In that waiting, little questions bloom into doubts. His mind drifts to the spring he experienced three years ago; a traumatic one, to say the least. What if his dream is pulled out from underneath him now, too? What if all he's prepared for turned out to be for nothing? What if? What if?

A ghost calls out his name, beckoning, questioning when uttered a second time until he finally snaps out of his trance. When he widens his eyes again, he finds himself in a room, face to face with an empty space. A blink, he remembers. He hears the clamoring of fans from the other side of the barrier. He gulps but swallowing expectations tastes like gargling gravel. He looks to the mic pack in his lap and the still hands that forget how to function. ( He wonders if he even remembers how to play the guitar like he used to. ) It's not like you to be this way. Park Seojin doesn't get nervous.

A hand slaps itself against his cheek ( his own ), hard enough to hear the tap. It's enough to pull him out of his trance for good.

"Okay! I...—" he clears his throat; it's not like him to hesitate, but he feels that pressure to deliver a perfect product. He put his complete faith in the other members' strengths and specialties and they must have put in his own. He assures them they're in good hands — reliant on each other despite the circumstances.

Seojin expels another sigh, standing now to join the rest where the stairs meet the stage. He can see the arms of fans holding phones and signs; clear as day in the light cresting over the platform edge. It sends his heart into a frenzy and he sucks a breath in. All he needs to think of is knowing the moment the music starts, none of his stranded thoughts will matter.

You've finally made it now, haven't you?

it's the first episode of their podcast, alex figuring that there will obviously be some moments of awkwardness due to this being a bit new to the members, though at the same time they had been doing things similar to this for so long now that he actually didn't think that it would really be that bad for them. at least, that's what he hoped. with this being live, one slip up and they could be in some deep shit later on.

pushing the thoughts out of his mind, he waits until they're cued to begin, thus starting the beginning of the group's activities for the next few episodes. "hello everyone! i'm v&a versus' k." he introduces himself then waits for the others to introduce themselves, watching them as they do so and giving the slightest bit of a smile.

when it's his turn to talk again, alex looks towards tee as he speaks. "i know we're usually, or at least most of the time, busy with our own individual schedules so even i'm curious about this first topic we have. what are some of your favorite hobbies lately, tee?" he asks the younger male, allowing the younger members to actually go first, especially since he's technically the 'senior' of the group compared to the others.

VERSUS MISSION 005

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 1 OUT OF 1 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

as VERSUS’ schedules slow down, KYUHWAN calls all of the VERSUS members in the living room of their dorms for a meeting.

“i know our schedules have shifted quite a bit lately. there’s less schedules and more time dedicated to practice, but with the loss of another VERSUS member, the company has advised that we work on other matters in the meantime while AGITO is in the middle of their comeback promotions. this also meant revising the company’s plans for a comeback too.” there was a hint of sadness in KYUHWAN’s voice, which was a rarity given that the manager was known to be spirited and jovial. KYUHWAN adds as an attempt to find the positive amidst the unexpected changes, “as you will see, your schedules will be a lot lighter but there are a few things to look forward to.”

CREATIVE SONG CAMP

“LEGACY has plans of releasing a special kind of show for V&A — one that showcases more of everyone’s creative sides. since your counterpart unit, AGITO, will be busy with their promotions, we’ve decided that in preparation of this project, all of the VERSUS members will instead be going to STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN to attend a CREATIVE SONG CAMP. in the past years they would host the song camp in different countries and focus solely on songwriting, but this year they wanted to expand to other skill sets such as choreography and mv filming. we know a few of you have attended something similar to it years ago when LEGACY had their songwriting workshops, but this will be an even more concentrated one since you will be meeting many famous producers.” KYUHWAN explains while giving them the details about the event.

starting from APRIL 22 to MAY 5, all of the VERSUS members will be packing up their belongings and travel to STOCKHOLM. when they arrive at their apartment ( where all of the members will be sharing one floor ) they will be given the schedule for the camp, which is scheduled from APRIL 25 to MAY 5. the VERSUS members have the option to take intensive workshops related to SONGWRITING ( LYRIC COMPOSITION ), PRODUCING ( MUSIC COMPOSITION, LYRIC COMPOSITION, INSTRUMENT ), and CHOREOGRAPHY ( POP/HIP HOP/STREET, CLASSICAL ).

during this time, the VERSUS members will concurrently work on their first project for their new and upcoming YOUTUBE show called ‘V&A’s SONG STEALER’, where V&A will use their musical and creative prowess to ‘steal’ some of the most popular songs and make their own rendition of the song. for the first set of episodes ( EPISODES 1-5 ), VERSUS will be ‘stealing’ TYPE ZERO’S ‘ONE ( MONSTER & INFINITY )’ and making their own version of it ( the genre of the new arrangement will be ROCK ). coincidentally, the producing team behind ‘ONE ( MONSTER & INFINITY )’ will be present during the camp and will visit the VERSUS members on MAY 2 to see and hear the group’s version of the song. they will give brief feedback on how to improve the song for the final performance, which will be filmed on MAY 5 as the last song for the camp’s talent show. the VERSUS members will be performing the same song live on JULY 27 for KCON LA plus the other song that they ( V&A ) will be working on, which is CRYSTALLIS’ ‘FIESTA’.

since the VERSUS members will be overseas for a few weeks, they will be given TWO free days ( SATURDAY, MAY 27 and FRIDAY, MAY 3 ) where they can use that time to explore around what STOCKHOLM has to offer. as always, if the members are planning on going anywhere, they must let KYUHWAN ( the manager ) know about their whereabouts and where they are planning to go beforehand. as for the rest of the days, if any of the VERSUS members are not attending workshops, they will be staying in the apartment and help work on the song project.

all of the content that goes on during that time ( including their free days ) will be filmed. In the case of the free days, the content will be posted as “vlogs” for the V&A’s youtube channel while the preparation process will be part of the first four episodes of ‘V&A’s SONG STEALER’.

V&A’S SONG STEALER ( FIESTA )

for ‘FIESTA’, V&A will be teaming up together to film the first part of this set of episodes with the leaders ( YEONWOO & JIHO ) randomly choosing some important rules for their new song arrangement. JIHO will be choosing the genre of the song ( FOLK, specifically KOREAN FOLK MUSIC ) while YEONWOO will be choosing one of the requirements for the song ( there MUST be a 30 seconds dance break in the song ). they will be told later after finding out the genre and arrangement that due to fans’ votes on LGC’s youtube channel, the song selected for this round was CRYSTALLIS’ ‘FIESTA’.

to help V&A gain some additional insight on traditional korean music, they will be visiting the NATIONAL GUGAK CENTER, which is the headquarters of korean traditional performing arts on MAY 22. during their visit, they will be attending a tour, learning some historical information, and partaking in music/instrument lessons from some of the masters of traditional korean music.

V&A will be working on this project from MAY 20-JUNE 11 and will be filming their live performance of ‘FIESTA’ on JUNE 11. for this song, V&A will be split into two teams to help work on different aspects of the song; DANCE TEAM ( to help with the choreography for the song / LEADER: JIHO ) and PRODUCE TEAM ( to help with the song arrangement / LEADER: YEONWOO ). in the case of JIHO, he will serve as the person connecting the two teams with his knowledge in music production and choreography.

for ic purposes, the team arrangements are as follows:

DANCE TEAM

KUROSAWA AKIO

LEE JIHO ( LEADER )

PONGSAK TEE

PRODUCE TEAM

JEON HARU

KANG MAXIMILIAN

LEE YUSHIN

「♆ WORKSHOP VARIETY ♆」

Things were getting crazy for @lgcwookjin​ and Tee now that they had debuted as part of Versus. Their group had a lot planned in the upcoming future and neither boy expected to be this busy. At least Tee never thought he would be this busy. He thought he would be semi-forgotten or put to the side due to being one of the new members. How wrong he was.

Now Wookjin and Tee were being given extra workshops and classes to help them get to the same level as the rest of Versus when it came to variety. Something was happening and Tee wasn’t sure what it was. But he wasn’t about to question it. Plus, these workshops gave Wookjin and Tee and chance to, well, be themselves.

Tee and Wookjin were now getting crazy the more they had freedom to be themselves. Tee was currently battling Wookjin in who could perform the weirdest yoga moves. It was his turn and so Tee crouched down and brought his hands together. ❛ I call this the ‘why are we crouching my legs hurt’ pose. ❜ He smiled.

VERSUS MISSION : dream concert ft. @lgcalex

with their next stage not for a little bit, versus were in the dressing room, getting made up and styled before their cover of dr. bebe. however, they weren’t missing out on the concert fun with the monitors installed in the room showing the concert it went on. fabula (sunbaenim? was wookjin, now a  member of versus, their senior?? he wasn’t sure) was performing, having just gone on the members of versus were just waiting for their next call time. it was a quick turn over, so wookjin did he best to be courteous of the stylists that were working hard to make sure he looked good--which was important to him, so he did his best (at all times) to not piss them off. 

he was freshly done, basically ready for their special stage to start (minus the anxiety over performing a song he had only practiced a few times over the weeks prior, in front of maybe the biggest stage he’d ever been on) he decided he was going to try to have fun. “hey-hey hyung,” he called over to alex, as the last chorus to anti-fragile played, he danced along (singing anti-ti-ti-ti fragile fragile in a high pitched tone) with the fabula members, shaking his ass like he was a proper member (thought with much less precision, it was a choreography he had only really learned in passing) laughing he asked the other, “you think they’d move to over to fabula if i screw up and get kicked out of here--knock on wood” he knocked on the closest table.

V&A LOG ( aired on september 26 )

jaesun was thrilled to hear that they were going to be taking part in a new youtube series though a part of him was worried that he might not have anything interesting to share with his audience. for the vlog on september 26th, jaesun had to do it on his own, so he decided to give painting a try. he had enjoyed art as a kid, but had never explored more beyond that. frankly, he had never had the time to learn something new, but it seemed like this would be an opportunity for him to do so.

he had found an art studio not too far from the company which he thought looked quite nice. the reviews were good as well so he settled on this location for his vlog. as he stepped inside, he looked around to which he was greeted by the studio’s owner. switching his attention between the owner and the camera, he explained to the man as to what was happening today and asked it if would be alright to film for his show. 

once everything was settled, he was seated at a station with easel and paints set up for him. it seemed that, due to the nature of the show, the studio had been closed off so that he could film without bothering other students. always a curious person, jaesun had a number of questions to ask the teacher, including explanations for what type of paint they were using, how he should mix colors, what brush he should use, etc.

since it was his first lesson, he would be doing a simple painting of a flower and sitting side by side with the teacher, he tried to follow his instructions as best as he could. sometimes, he would focus the camera on the artwork and ask if it looked good off camera. for a first time, jaesun had to admit that it looked better than he expected, but of course, it looked far from the professional’s. 

though the painting took much longer than the time they were allotted, he knew that they could easily speed up or cut out certain parts in the middle. when the painting was finished, he held it up. “ta-da!” he exclaimed proudly. “this was a lot of fun. very relaxing, i must say,” he admitted. “i would highly recommend giving this a try sometime! see you next time!”

GOOD ENOUGH ✱ @lgcyeonwoo

How do you feel? The voice of Kyuhwan is still clear. "I don't know. Not much of anything." Not yet.

Seojin already recalls his first reaction to the news. It shocked him in the same way his adoption did as a child. So, now I'm finally good enough for someone, he thinks in that facetious way of his—sarcastic venom eroding his throat. Preferable to wallowing, Seojin's emotions have the tendency to manifest as embers rather than a cool rain. This time, he is not so sure where to put them. Feelings flood him that have not familiarized himself with in quite some time now. Foreign in their distance.

He sinks into the new mattress at an agonizing pace, hands long since abandoning the luggage that hugs the bedframe. It's stripped raw of personality—stark white sheets and pillow cases. He runs his fingers over the soft material.

Across from him is Yeonwoo's sleeping area, the space around it so indicative of him, so full of hints of that creative, serene personality he'd grown so fond of. He conceals a smile with the bow of his head—the sort that holds some sort of secret knowledge. Not the forbidden kind. It's Cheshire-like in nature; playful. More like he's silently remembering an inside joke or formulating one in the space between.

He does not want to say it's unfair—that it wasn't like this from the beginning when Yeonwoo went back then—but the phrase certainly lingers in his mind; fully aware it would be equally as so to muse it aloud. He accepts that he is at a loss for words, still utterly in denial of the state of things.

His eyes drift to the clock as if it would give him answers. Any second now they will burst in and tell him it is just a joke. ( Sike! You really thought? ) It isn't one, though—not really. As much as Seojin so wants it to be. Here he was, contemplating running away later this year if things didn't turn up. ( And why does he still feel like it more than ever? )

"So." He breaks the silence, leaning his palms back against the mattress; it creaks under his weight. Yeonwoo's gaze seems far off, too. Why wouldn't it be? More than a few bombshells were dropped in the span of one meeting anyone to take. "Ground rules? If any," a coy smirk appears to ease the tension. "I can still watch UFC in the living room, right?"

[lgcalex]

closed starter for @lgcakio

there were two new members added to the group after being told about another's departure, though he wasn't upset or irritated by the news as much as he thought he'd be. actually, he was pretty happy to find out that one of the new members actually was japanese, making alex actually grow even curious about whether or not he'd be able to get close to them ( which he hoped they would ). it was at least worth a shot right? not like it would hurt to try and at least introduce himself to the new member, even if the younger wanted nothing to do with him.

after hearing that akio would be in the practice room, being forced to learn every single bit of the versus discography and the seemingly endless choreographies that went with most of their songs, alex decided to take this time and not only introduce himself properly but also help the other out if he needed it. with them having a more newer song recently, it would probably be best if alex offered the younger some help with learning their newest choreography.

upon entering the practice room, alex slowly enters and takes a few steps inside, spotting akio as soon as he does so. "hello... you're akio right?" he asks, still being a big cautious just in case he's mixed the other up with someone else.

NEW MEMBERS, JAESUN’S DEPARTURE

later on in the meeting, the VERSUS members are introduced to two new people by KYUHWAN; KUROSAWA AKIO and PARK SEOJIN.

“i believe all of you are familiar with each other thanks to lgc spring boys, am i right?” KYUHWAN looks at both sides for confirmation before jokingly adding, “i guess i can skip the introductions for that.” but he knows with limited time available, he does his best to get straight to the point. “AKIO and SEOJIN will be joining VERSUS so please take this bit of time to help them get adjusted to their new life.” 

KYUHWAN turns his head towards AKIO and SEOJIN, “while it is unfortunate that both of you won’t be able to participate in this month’s gigs due to everything that is going on, the company felt that this would be the best time to start learning and getting well-acquainted with VERSUS discography. in the meantime, all of you are expected to keep this a secret with everyone in legacy until the time comes, which will be in a few months once we get past through the promotions.” 

AKIO and SEOJIN will not be able to participate in OPEN EVENTS 006, 007 or 008 in the meantime and all of their instagram posts for JANUARY-MARCH will be under the LGCENT instagram for now.

sometime around FEBRUARY 5, all of the VERSUS members will be having another short but urgent meeting with KYUHWAN as they are told that JAESUN has left the company. because of the sudden news, there will be some changes made regarding the group positions and dorm arrangements.

for the group positions, it will be the following:

KIM ALEX: LEAD VOCALIST, LEAD RAPPER

KUROSAWA AKIO: MAIN DANCER, VOCALIST

PARK SEOJIN: LEAD VOCALIST

PONGSAK TEE: MAIN RAPPER, LEAD DANCER, VOCALIST

WON YEONWOO: LEADER OF VERSUS, MAIN VOCALIST, LEAD DANCER

due to the timing of the addition of the new members, the group positions may gradually change over time but this is what the current roles will look like in the meantime.

as for the dorm arrangements, it will be the following:

ROOM A: KIM ALEX, KUROSAWA AKIO, PONGSAK TEE

ROOM B: PARK SEOJIN, WON YEONWOO

with the changes going on, KYUHWAN expresses that during this time most of the VERSUS members will be undergoing intensive workshops and training to help prepare themselves from future projects. this will also mean that for ALEX, TEE, and YEONWOO they will be doing individual or group activities with each other or the AGITO members to help VERSUS’ fame after JAESUN’s departure. he will also give feedback to the members, which can be best summarized below ( skills listed to the name are the ones to prioritize in that order ):

ALEX: RAPPING, DANCING

[lgcseojin]

A discontented grunt emerges from the depths of Seojin's throat. He knows he is unable to linger on his gripes in this sort of setting. There are things he wishes to express to Yushin that should not reach the ears of any lingering staff attentive enough to catch on. Yushin's words are only so reassuring. A best friend, the man he's known since they were both high school age, is bound to pick up on the nuances in Seojin's expression and tone, regardless. He offers a mere twitch of his lips upward.

There is no saying if anything would come for him any time soon. His mind often played tricks on him; offering bouts of doubt in between his front of boisterous confidence. It scratches the back of his head and reminds him of how debut had been pulled out from his feet once before already, even when everything seemed to be going so well. The nature of all that surrounds is built upon a shaky foundation with ever changing elevations.

"In any case, you have a point. There's this interesting sorta vibrance the traditional instruments have. Like, it's so unrefined and raw, y'know? If we did a cover, would we need to include the traditional singing? I'm pretty damn good at giving an impression..." Seojin's mind wanders mid-sentence. He leans back and idly knocks his feet together. "I mean, the Fiesta thing is pretty close, yeah? We'll be using the instruments. I'm imagining it alright enough." He strums another part of the song on the gayageum, some of the notes discordant since he's rather keen on goofing off.

"Oh, and... it'll be our first stage together. Excited?"

"those shoes were a one-off," yushin comments, though he hopes that's the case. but at this point, he wonders if he's condemned to getting the new set from every collection. or maybe even better- or worse- they'll sponsor him! as if. "yes but there's nuances with traditional instruments that can't be replicated. i love them so much." he's giddy, really. he played keyboard way back in the day, but that was nothing compared to wooden, brass, and strings. well. piano has strings too. "

yushin grimaces a bit at the slight tone that he catches in seojin's words. knowing him after all these years, he'd be oblivious to not catch the slight. agito and v&a as a whole didn't have comebacks nearly as often as some other groups, and the more established members all had their own careers. acting.... producing.... jiho's solo... yushin was still hoping for v&a to comeback together again. or even have a variety show? "i mean, they can't make you guys do nothing. max is coming along in his own light and i know you and akio will too."

he has a few ideas in his mind about little collaborations a few of the boys might be able to do, even if it's a youtube channel cover. those things mattered to him a lot, even if they seemed insignificant to others. but... they were the only way he was able to express his interest and desires for a long time that he couldn't agito's vibes. "wonder how fans would react if we did a traditional cover of something. i think it'd be pretty cool."

「♆ ZIPLINE? OH DEAR ♆」

Finding out that he was paired once again with @lgckeeho made Tee feel happy and excited. Through their time together and all they've been through, Tee and Keeho have become close friends and they always had fun together no matter what they did. The two were V&A's maknae line after all.

Working out what to do for the vlog had taken some time since they had so much they wanted to do but finally they settled on going ziplining - something Tee was not looking forward to. But he'd agreed because Keeho had really wanted to try it and Tee easily gave into the other.

However, standing at the start of the zipline, Tee was beginning to question if this was a good idea. ❛ Are you sure this is what you want to do? Is it safe? ❜

VERSUS MISSION 001 : hello82 recording solo COUNT : 512 words

despite his debut, wookjin felt like he was slowly becoming more of a language student than an idol. first the hangul quiz, now hello82 was having him learn japanese, mandarin, and english. now, realistically, he knew mandarin and japanese were a wash. he liked anime, but hadn’t learned a single bit of japanese in his years of watching--and mandarin was completely foreign to him. but english--he had to do well at that. he was american of course! he could hear his parents nagging him, “we fly 6,000 miles to give YOU a good life and you can’t eve learn the language why i ought to-” and on and on. 

it wasn’t that he didn’t understand english. he spent most of his life in american schools, speaking, reading, and writing in english all day, everyday. but then he moved to korea, trained in a korean company, with koreans glore. when he first arrived in seoul, he struggled to adjust to all korean all the time. but he’d managed it, worked on adopting the language into his mind (while also learning the ends and outs of singing and dancing), to where now he was fluent. 

in the mean time using english had fallen to the way side. there was too much to do, too much to study--wookjin had to prioritize. so, english became less and less of a priority, until the only people he spoke english to regularly were a couple of his foreigner friends. even that was rare. so, he’d fallen out of practice.

but, he was determined to show off. wookjin hope to become a variety king in the future, so he knew performing well just as his public career was beginning was important. so, in preparation of their hello82 filming, he downloaded duolingo and got to work. he looked at mandarin and japanese...but quickly was disgruntled and unmotivated as he failed over and over again. but with the english tests he knew enough to get by fairly well. for about a week, all through their promotion schedules, every free moment the group had a familiar ding and cheer could be heard from wookjin. 

while at the hello82 recording and waiting for everything to be set up and ready, he continued his duolingo grind. while the language learning was important--or whatever--wookjin had become quickly addicted to the game of it all. checking his status on leaderboards constantly, he was determined to be number one. plus, anytime anyone asked him about it, he could argue it was “for work.” 

he was so into it however, he (accidentally) ignored their manager calling the boys to take their marks as the filming was about to begin. “i’m coming...” he just needed to get another 10 points and he’d jump 5 places in the national ranking if he could just... “WOOJIN!” he was alerted to attention by his manager, looking angry in the face at him. “sorry,” he apologized, standing straight at attention and bowing lowly. he discarded his phone and hurried over to where they were supposed to be, his face red out of embarrassment.

HELLO 82

jaesun couldn’t believe that he was going to be making an appearance on the HELLO82 channel. okay, maybe he should stop having these ‘can’t believe’ moments since he was an idol and he should sort of expect to have these types of schedules, but even still, it still surprises him when they happen. 

there are three videos that they have to film. the first is an english workout quiz. he thinks that this will be the easiest one of the three for him, but he’s quick to find out that it’s not quite as easy as he thinks. thankfully, it seems that his guessing skills are somewhat decent and the whole thing doesn’t become a complete disaster.

however, the tasks become increasingly difficult as he’s certainly not as fluent in the other languages as he was with english (that was, after all, his native tongue). the next task is to sing trauma but the twist being that there would be parts of it that would switch to another language. he’s decent at japanese, but he has to admit that his brain just doesn’t work in the language as quickly and so he stumbles through the first try. he can only think about the fact that he should practice his japanese more as they continue through the challenge.

finally, they end up with a task to guess the mandarin words. if he thought the second challenge was bad, this one certainly ends up worse, the weakest of the three languages. he throws out the most random of words as they play the game and it’s certainly a struggle. 

the takeaway he has from all of this is that it’s time for him to get better at the other languages. that’s the only thing he can think about as they wrap up filming the program.

SIMPLE JOYS ✱ @lgctee

Seojin spends most of the plane ride to Stokholm searching for things to do on his precious days off. Certainly, he is a bit shocked they are putting enough trust in them to proceed with what could only be described as alone time for a total of two whole days. It seems to take them all about five to adjust to the jetlag — something Seojin is experiencing for the first time in his life.

Even now, he finds himself compelled to yawn and rub the weary feeling from his eyes but he stands with the reminder that, here, the likelihood of someone knowing his name is slim to none. ( Or so he convinces himself into thinking. ) Therein lingers some semblance that he can be Seojin, the normal guy, instead of someone people might barrage with cameras in his face. He should relish in the brief moment of privacy.

Without a mask or any other concealing materials over his face, he steps into the hotel lobby with his arms raised above his head. Fresh air is a moment away from him. He stills only when he spots Tee making his way toward the front door. Seojin sidles up to him, hand raised in a brief greeting.

"Yo," he leans forward, placing himself within Tee's line of sight. The two are not as close as he is with the other two quite yet, but this coincidence offers him the perfect opportunity to get to know the quietest member of Versus. "Where are you heading out to?" He pauses, sly smile stretching across his lips. "Bet it's not as fun as where I'm going."

closed starter for @lgcyeonwoo

how could alex not be excited about filming for a show revolving around food? especially since he enjoyed cooking himself, even if today was revolving around just stacks it was still food either way. as him and yeonwoo sit there, side by side, he leans over to whisper to the other male as those preparing the snacks were busy with their own tasks. "i'm ready to see what they're preparing for us.... and how good it tastes." he states, a smile on his face.

"i purposely didn't eat before coming just for this." he openly admits to the younger male. of course he wouldn't tell this to anyone, admitting that he purposely skipped out on eating just so he could have room for eating on a show, though with yeonwoo he was rather comfortable around the other male enough to do so. the two had been together for a while now in versus, since the beginning of the group, so it's not really shocking that alex would trust the younger enough to share even secrets with.

"i feel like we were actually made for this show actually." he states, glancing over to watch the progress of the snacks being made.

[lgcjaesun]

jaesun nods his head though he admittedly believes that they likely won't actually talk again unless either he reaches out or they run into each other in the company again. it's nothing personal, simply that the spheres they were a part of just likely didn't necessarily intersect. but who knows ... maybe he'd be surprised.

and as she continues on, it seems like it just confirms what he thought to begin with. "ah, okay. yeah, of course," he shrugs his shoulders but gives her a smile to let her know that it's really no big deal. "well, i mean, i guess we'll see when we run into next then?" he looks to her and gives a small head nod, figuring that likely this is where they'd part.

“Sounds good, at any rate I have your contacts,” she readily agreed. While she wasn’t quite sure if she would ever actually take up on his offer, having that option open would never hurt.

Right, about that. “I’m sure you’ve noticed I’m a poor communicator, don’t really follow up on stuff outside my immediate concern, no offence,” Yuxi shrugged. “You’d really have to keep chasing me down for it otherwise.” Easier said than done of course, with her odd skill in evading attention when she wished to do so. “I wouldn’t even put the effort in that if I were you,” she added, “not worth it.” Plus, it wasn’t as if she herself had put any effort in doing so either. Leave and let be, that was her philosophy for things she didn’t care for. It wasn’t a personal slight against Jaesun, but continuing any socializing from Future Dreams was pretty low on her priority list.
