from one to another
days later, seungah was still quite frazzled. while more often than not, she thrived in the face of productivity. this was just too much all at once and she wasn’t sure where to begin. sure, she should have been more focused on their upcoming comeback preparations ( a reason as to why they were now recording the vocals for the upcoming album today ) but all she could think about was the script smashed at the bottom of her tote that she had brought to read over when the others were busy recording their lines. she knew, she wouldn’t be the quickest to leave the studio that day, with the adlibs and high notes and what not -- but with so much to do, seungah wanted to get today over as quickly as possible.
but where did that leave her?
( it left her with the time to review her lines and internally exasperate over how she wasn’t the acting type if there ever was one, if anything she thought seolhyun suited that role in the group much better than she )
it’s why, when she spots seolhyun the moment she leaves the booth ; she’s depositing herself right next to the girl with a heavy sigh and round puppy-dog eyes, “how did you do it?” it’s a vague question at best, with a million a many answers, but seungah couldn’t care to elaborate right now. she just wanted comfort from one of her favorite people.    ━━     ﹡ 𝙴𝙻𝙻𝙰 、

After her audition last month, Cheri receives the news on April 12th about her role. The news is that it’s hers, and she’ll be playing the lead character of the drama ‘The Producers’ to be aired on KBS. The drama is about employees of the KBS building work in the network's variety department, keeping hectic schedules of filming, editing, and all-night meetings. Cheri will play the role of Cindy, a famous singer, and celebrity who debuted as a trainee when she was 13 years old. She is called the "ice princess" for her poker face and complete control over her emotions. She’ll receive her script pages on the following day for her to start preparing for the role.
A week later, on April 19th, Cheri will go on a meeting with the rest of the cast and staff to go over the plannings for the drama as well as have a first script-reading session with the senior actors. A second script-reading session is scheduled for April 24th when they’ll also meet with those in charge of costumes to get their measurements taken. Filming for the drama should start in the following month.
Meanwhile, Nayoung will receive a package on April 15th from their manager. Inside, she’ll find a bag from Adidas. It’s their 4ATHLTS bag in bright yellow made with recycled polyester. She’s told to post a photo of it on her SNS to promote the brand in the following days, and she may keep the product afterward. Apart from this and practicing for her comeback, she should continue working on her musical.

your love is like cream
since the beginning of the month when they received their schedules for april, seungah had felt like she had seen everyone except euijin. which was weird considering she was her roommate. it was something that made her feel even more weird when time passed and she was becoming more and more aware that she hadn’t seen the other much. 
though, as the month began to close and their recording dates for the songs began to near, she felt like it’d be nice to find a way to check up on the other. ( no matter how maternal that sounded -- at this point seungah had just given up and accepted the fact that she was becoming more and more motherly the more she worried about the other girls under her care ) she’s lucky, on one of the days that she wasn’t doing preparations for the producers, she was able to make time to seek euijin out; finding the younger girl in one of her favorite places in the dorm. ( though it wasn’t too hard -- the dorm wasn’t that big for any of them to hide from one another )
“hey there, miss songwriter ~” she calls out to the other. “how’s the writing going along?” she knows this is an important opportunity for euijin, and she’s in no doubt that the other has something special on her mind for the song. the song-title itself was quite frankly, weirdly sexual but maybe that was just her.
hopefully it wouldn’t be that bad.
( though knowing euijin, maybe she was thinking too lightly of it )  ━━     ﹡ 𝙰𝚂𝙷𝙴 、

actor-dols: a study
◆   ‘THE PRODUCERS’ PREP   ━━━━━━    럭스  ∙  APRIL 、
Tumblr media
                                                        ◆   
she’s still dazed days later. seungah hadn’t really thought about the audition from last month all that much. sure, she had prepared for the role as well as she could have -- with as little as she was given, since she had no idea what the role was -- but to hear that she had been selected to play such a role: of a primadonna idol singer with a ‘ice princess’ demeanor was something so far out of her reach that seungah just wasn’t sure how to even begin. most of all -- it was acting, something seungah never truly believed was her calling.
even when she had starred in dream high for a short stint, with minimal lines, she had believed that would be it. the minimal cameos she’s been given have exceeded their limit and if anything, seungah had truly thought that that would have been the end of her acting career. but here she was, acting once more.
the month of april is stressful, to say the least.
not only were they scheduled to comeback soon, preparing for a drama of this scale with artists who were far more superior than she in terms of both experience and seniority, she had begun to feel suffocated. just when seungah had just thought she did well under pressure, god had thrown her this curveball and she easily felt herself drowning beneath the surface of this metaphorical typhoon of a month. there was so much to do and it felt like there was no time to realistically do it all. 
the month goes by quickly. she’s introduced to many people in april -- names she’s only seen on placards across her favorite dramas that she had binged with seolhyun over the months of break flash before her eyes and she has to pinch the inside of her wrist to stop herself from fainting from the shock. when she first debuted, upon greeting senior artists at the broadcast stations, she had thought she was starstruck  --  it’s only now as she’s surrounded by a table full of them that she finally sees stars.
by her last schedule for the drama of the month, she’s exhausted. not only have luxe preparations started to pile up  --  she felt her phone was only getting as exhausted as she as all the incoming notifications regarding all things ‘the producer‘ seemed to pop up. don’t get her wrong, the outfits were super cute -- and enough to want her to stay in them forever, but the lines -- the personality, they all weren’t her.
as the second table read goes -- she wonders, once more, was she really cut out for this all?

focus on me
while this type of music video shooting wasn’t as stressful as their others were -- it was more minimal with lots of colors ; not too many props ; nothing except their choreography needed to be rehearsed ; it was still tiring as hell. waking up early had been something she hadn’t done since january and it was starting to take a toll on her.
whoever said it gets easier was obviously lying. ( it never got easier )
which was why, in the middle of the day -- they were back at the makeup station ; getting touch-ups for any of the flaws that had occurred -- such as the smudges of lipstick and the lines around her mouth that occurred because of her smile-lines. “did you eat yet, nayoungie?” she asks as she collapses in the seat beside the other. it’s a reflexive reaction before she sits up more properly to let the artist work her charm on her face again. 
there’s a noise from outside that piques her interest, though, and she feels her eardrums widen as she tries to overhear what was going on outside. it’s a muffle of noise, laughter, then the sudden voices of their members. 
“hey,” she nudges nayoung with her foot -- trying to get the other’s attention from where they sat at the makeup station. “i think we’re filming a LUXETV thing today --” she says in a stage-whisper, hand to her lips as she tries to hide her laughter ; she could hear the other girls outside speaking as if it were so. there was only one reason any of them would speak like that -- an over-exaggeration of their own compliments and jokes -- and it was if there was a camera in view. 
got to get the clicks for olympias, right?      ━━     ﹡𝚉𝙾𝙴 、
