Reunited

@rksxna

Backdated Mid-March in between schedules

When she got the text notification the other day, Sejeong stared at it for a while.  Well, maybe it was only a few moments, but to her, it seemed like a long time.  It was a number that she was thinking that she might never see pop up on her phone again.  Sana.  Seeing the former K.arma member’s name pop up with the little smiley face Sejeong had saved for the contact seemed almost surreal to her.  She had missed the other girl so much and it all came flooding back to her.

The texts turned to a call, and then plans were made, Sejeong was going to head over to Sana’s new place where she had just moved back to Korea and looking to start over again.  She caught a ride over and made her way inside the building, taking a deep breath before ringing the buzzer, waiting for her to come answer the door and be let it, the nerves of reconnecting making her smile a bit more nervous than usual.

╌、*about time、

after the tension that she undoubtedly made within her own group of friends, yoohyeon felt the intense urge to try something new-- a new game, to be specific. instead of making yet another riot account to start grinding league of legends she decided that it’s time to give overwatch the chance to win her over and boy, did it win her over. it took her only a day to get used to it all, it took her another few days to actually get a hang of it, but before she knew it, she was hooked.

while she is used to play both alone and with friends, yoohyeon has grown accustomed to the luxury of live updates through discord and chat systems-- that is precisely what she did in this new game also, which ultimately resulted in an occasional friend request. some she sent, and some she received. now, there was a major skill difference between sana and herself, but that didn’t necessarily matter, they clicked regardless and yoohyeon honestly found relief in that.

she needed something like this to keep her mind from spiraling, catastrophic thinking isn’t her trait usually, but it has become so as of late. eagerly, as eagerly as she can when she is stuck inside a dark place, she greets the other female. “hey! i hope i didn’t keep you waiting,” she is smiling as she gesture towards the empty chair as to ask if she can sit down. “may i? wah, it’s weird to see you in the real world~  you are out of this world, so pretty!” she says, genuinely.

jaemin isn’t one to pry  --  he really isn’t  --  but if all he can hear are whispers of a certain someone, even someone as nonchalant as him couldn’t help but grow curious as to why those whispers began in the first place. he’s not one gossip ; but it’s sickening how malicious those words were beginning to sound as they circled like vultures ready to strike their prey. not like he’s been faced with this type of dilemma before  --  sure people in his high school talked frequently about him, but never to this scale.

never enough to warrant any type of emotional rise from him.

so, jaemin sighs  -- casting one last glance at the group who continued to spout unreasonable nonsense ; he moves from where he had originally been standing to linger at the side of the girl who’s been at the attention of these gossips since the moment he had stepped into the shop. “hey -- sorry it took me so to get here, i got lost.” he leans in close, hoping the invasion of personal space isn’t one that alarms her ; voice dropping to a volume only she can hear, “hey -- just pretend you know me and let’s go, yeah?” 

“i hope we’re not late for our movie.”

MGA Season 5 ୨୧ Episode 7 ୨୧ Finale Team Sirius performing BTSxBP and NO AIR With: @rkmason @rkyeji @rkkhg  Coaches: @rksxna @rkdoyexn @jinsoulrk

Well, Chaeryeong couldn't exactly pretend she was fine with being third place. They hadn't been “hard-hitting” enough and it'd felt “lacking”. She was upset and wondered where they went wrong. Third place wasn't all that bad – middle field out of 5 groups, but the girl couldn't help it, it wasn't good enough, they had to do better next week. She wanted the group to place 2nd at the very least, preferably 1st and set her mind to making sure they would achieve that, because when she looked at the group in her mind, she knew they could do it.

Losing someone from the group also made her expression fall and her stomach uneasy. Whether she had been in much or very little contact didn't matter – they were a team and it felt wrong that one of them had to go. At the same time—she realised if she told anyone they'd probably give her an odd look and call her selfish—she was happy it wasn't her, because a bad premonition kept lurking in her stomach, ready to pop out and scream “I KNEW IT!” every second while waiting for the results. It did make her feel a little guilty, being taught to feel that way when growing up. It didn't feel fair, but she couldn't change anything.

But now the girl was more determined than ever, making sure she'd show how much she deserved to still be on the show, that she indeed was worthy of getting a contract with trc, one of the hardest companies to get into and that it shouldn't have been her to leave. She couldn't fail when someone else had gone.

Another option for her was Nova. Though really she wanted trc. While she'd wavered for a few days over the previous week, since asking Jinsoul for advice, she really wanted to be in the same company as the older girl and who knew, maybe they could debut together? Not that she expected them to debut a new group so soon after k.arma.

Everything considered she was still in a pretty good mood as they went out to eat again on Thursday and then when they met for practise. She was confident they could do better and was excited to prepare for a second stage, though it would surely prove to be difficult to plan. However throwing ideas around, thinking about possibilities (or impossible things that were still fun to think about) was nice and put her into a positive mood, even if they had to agree on twice as many things. She was determined to not be a hindrance again, at least that's what she'd kind of felt like for the previous performance, and to throw in more ideas as well.

Hyunggu brought snacks and energy drinks and Yeji brought Korean BBQ on Sunday (which she was very thankful for and excited about as the girl absolutely loved food, also snacks.)

Chaeryeong was immediately fire and flame for the ideas thrown around, imagining the impact they would have, especially in connections of the missing impact last week. They'd show them what the trc team could do and wow their jaws to the floor. She was as determined as ever, a stark contrast to her often worried emotions from before the last performance. And while she'd ultimately felt confident with that too, she was already a lot more confident for the next two.

Again the girl wasn't shy to get help, after all, why should she reject the help she was given to better her performance? Trainees had coaches to teach them stuff, too, so it only made sense to use that help however possible. Chaeryeong had grown quite attached to Jinsoul, as such especially wasn't shy to ask her. Quite the opposite, she often wanted to show the other her progress when possible.

Additionally she'd asked Doyeon for a few more performance tips, who had already debuted. Being a fan of the group she was heart eyes as soon as she'd met the two idols the first time. She admired the elder girl, beautiful, talented and hard working, what more could an idol have? She wasn't a rapper but a great dancer and charismatic and helped Chae with things like cameras and expressions. While she'd gotten help on a few things before, one never learned everything there was to learn.

The performances they chose were also totally up her alley, even if the nova one didn't feature many lines for her. The girl didn't mind at all, finding more important that the performance would be smashing. And that she found it to be. Plus she was making sure to stand out with her dancing and the lines she did have. She'd prove herself either way, that much she was making sure of. She also really liked all the ideas they'd gathered for the performance. The outfits were cute and she was excited as hell for the dance.

But even more than that, she was excited for the trc performance. She loved the theme, though she couldn't lie, she'd rather have been a demon than an angel. Yet everything they planned just made her so impatient to finally show the ceos and audience, she couldn't wait. She stayed longer and practised more. While they had a bit more time, there was also twice as much to prepare for. But this week, nothing could stop her.

Hyunggu started their introduction. “Shining bright,” he said, then all of them joined in to shout “we are Sirius!”. It tied into both performances. Nova with the galaxy theme and for the trc performance, in mythology, Sirius stood in connection to Hekate and Asteria. Hekate was a witch, which fit the demon theme and Asteria stood for “of the stars” or “the starry one”, which fitted the nova performance more and she was the goddess of falling stars, which then still suited the trc stage, again with the demon and fallen angel theme. So the girl really liked how everything was connected, but in addition to that, their performances also stood in connection to the past week. They were antidote then and intentionally mentioned poison in their mash-up.

The trc performance was first, though she would've preferred it the other way around, she found it to be a bit more effectful that way, but they'd manage to impress either way, the girl was confident. After their introduction the four got into position on their thrones to the sides of the stage. The girl's thrones were on the left side and white with added feathers to them as well. The boy's ones were much darker. At the beginning, the lights were all off, the stage completely black and a giddy feeling grew in the girl's stomach. Honestly she loved the ideas they had for this so, so much, the whole theme had her buzzing and wanting to show it to the world.

Finally the spotlights to reveal the four turned on. There were iron fence and gate, white roses would be timed to appear red through lights once the time came, just so later the tarnished metal of the fence could be revealed. There was a carpet leading to the gate of heaven and little deco items like a bowl of green apples, with one red apple.

The feathers on the chairs, once clinging to the two girls fell as they got up to walk to the gate of heaven. But they were stopped by the two demons, walking from their own thrones, but their black feathers were already on the floor. Chaeryeong had a curious expression on her face, just as a curious, enticed angel would.

Their outfits were pretty, angel-like with wings and crowns of white roses. Everything was thought through in so much detail, even their head pieces matched trc—triple crown. They boys were wearing dark red suits, giving a much less soft image. While she would've liked a demon suit, the girl's outfits were so pretty, she didn't mind being the angel here at all.

As soon as the four met centre stage, the pyrotechnics went off and Chaeryeong was so into the performance already, she didn't even flinch in surprise, which was a surprise in and of itself.

Everything was self-choreographed. Yeji began the song and Chaeryeong was again noticing how beautiful her voice was. Hyunggu soon followed after and the girl got ready for her first lines.

I can’t look away, no way I can study for this test My parents and teachers hate you You send me messages, pictures, even small gifts I can’t help that I like it I can’t stop, how do I quit you? There’s already so many pictures of you in my room Not just an hour but a year’s disappeared like this Your sweet words are only poison

The girl had never been in love, barely ever had crushes. But she'd always been good at acting out the emotions, imagining how it could feel like. Her rap skills had improved so much after the last few weeks, however this would end, she'd learned so many new things, that alone made the whole ordeal of many hard weeks worth it. She smoothly flowed through her rap part, enjoying the dance as well and the two girls were handed red roses as she mentioned the small gifts. But they threw them aside. Her rap moved on to Minho's, who did a move from myname, further tying the performances together. His rap impressed her, just as the vocals of the other two did.

She was completely drawn into the performance, playing her part, expressions fitting like she'd been taught by Doyeon and Jinsoul, who she hoped would look on this performance with pride whenever they would be able to.

They play of good and bad continued, flames flaring up with every mention of “fire”, but especially through “playing with fire”. The girls avoided the red apples, unbeknownst to them though, the poison was in the roses they earlier tossed, a dark omen. Every interaction and they fell over to the other side a bit more, their wings slowly destroyed, dirtied as they're losing feathers, which would eventually have to result in them falling completely.

Pour out some oil in my burning heart Kiss him, will I diss him? I don’t know but I miss him This past addiction, this love is crack The colour of this love is black

Her next lines arrive much too fast for her liking, wanting the performance to never end, unlike usual where she couldn't wait to show her rap skills. She moved smoothly, her face mirroring the emotions of the words spoken. They were in too deep, floating deeper and deeper, enticed by the evil that was hidden as a promise of love.

My love is on fire

Oh I'm playing with fire

The flames grew with the end of each of her two last lines and she put her all into the dance, enjoying the last few moments of the performance. By now their flower-crowns were taken away by the demons and their wings barely held up. The demons revealed themselves as what they truly were and what they'd done. Crowns of black roses found their way onto the girl's heads and the gate revealed itself for what it was: their path to damnation, the gate to hell. True to the lyrics, they've been taken over by evil and there was no way back now.

She swayed to the beat as effortlessly as ever and once the last note faded and they broke their ending position, then bowing, Chae felt tears shoot up into her eyes. The girl blinked them away quickly—this wasn't the end just yet and she hoped it had looked as enticing, as she felt lost in the performance.

Waiting for their second performance, the girl continuously moved, whether she walked, her hand fidgeted with something or something else, she was itching to be on stage again. Minho had done a great job with the mash-up for the performance and she'd come to like it a lot, even though she usually wasn't the biggest fan of mash-ups. But now she had to get her head in the game, going through the choreography and lyrics a few more times, to calm herself down.

They were called for their 2nd performance and she was excited to show a different image. It was like a throwback to before everything happened in their first performance, like a look at a hopeful past. They were wearing cute school uniforms and had desks set up. Eight backup dancers were included to make the stage look less empty, for impact. All twelve of them had a desk. Though no one could see that just yet as they started out with an all black stage again.

Their intro message was “our love is in the stars”, changed from the original to fit their team and instead of falling leaves, there were stars. The intro started to play and black light was added, turning on and off, making their white shirts and shoes pop out.

Minho was right at the front, then Hyunggu and after him Yeji, who mimicked loading a gun and shooting. The tables were turned and in what she found to be quite the impressive move, the girl jumped to run over three tables, before landing on the ground and dancing right away as centre. The intro ended with them running back towards the tables that were now flipped over by the background dancers, the desk's tops spelling their team name, “Sirius”.

They'd be the brightest stars tonight, just like Sirius, and they'd be the ones wearing the crown, she had no doubt the rest of the team was just as determined.

The background was pretty and summer-themed, which she thought easily evoked a good mood. She danced, loving this stage as well and gave her movements her all, so they would be as perfect as they could possibly be, no matter whether they had to be softer, rougher, fast or slow. While she put effort into looking as charming as possible in the previous performance, this gave her much more ability to “flirt” with the audience. Not having lines till later made this perfectly easier and she gave her best to stand out as much as she could—but of course not so much that it would seem as though she was doing her own thing or trying to overshadow whoever was currently in focus.

Her gaze was strong, but not scary and after having practised it a lot, found the cameras pretty easily. Unlike before, she was a lot more consciously aware of all that she was doing. Before, she did everything as practised to look how she was supposed to, when she was. She'd given strong gazes and all that, but it was different now, where she could pay attention to her surroundings in much more detail, just like she could pay attention to the others that much more. And once more she realised what strong a group they were, she was sure they could place first. That was not to say the other groups didn't have it in them, or to underestimate them. It was definitely a hard competition but she felt good, she couldn't imagine those emotions wouldn't carry out to those viewing. They'd worked well together, it should show.

Her first line came after a shared one, followed by one of Yeji that transitioned to her rap.

Your song is my favourite I hear it instead of being tempted by the pied piper As if the darkness is going away My dream will never end Shine on my heart even more Even if everyone else leaves me Tell me you’re on my side I don’t need anything else All I want is you you It’s true true, aight

Her rap tied into their previous stage, her calm off-stage self long left behind, exchanged for a charisma

that first presented itself when the girl started dancing ages ago. Her rap was practised to as close as perfection as she could get. There was undoubtedly much left to learn in the world of rap for the girl, but with the help she'd gotten, there was no doubt she'd delivered.

The rest of the time flew by and she made a finger heart with one hand next to her leg. It was the last performance of her for the whole show and the realisation hit her hard. Once they made their way off the stage, she could feel an overwhelming emotion rush her her, that she couldn't even place. She was proud, sad, happy, adrenaline still rushing through her. Confidence was there as usual, but also the worry that it hadn't been as good as she'd hoped. Just like the song suggested, it was hard to breathe, like there was no air, as her chest raised and fell heavily.

She quietly patted her eyes dry, trying to keep the others from noticing, though she wasn't sure how well she succeeded. With hands that were so shaky, they didn't really go where she wanted them to, she squished her cheeks, doing her best to calm down and the young girl hoped they wouldn't draw the final results out too long. She'd been to dancing competitions before, but this really was something else. There was only hoping left now.

♔ jeonju fairies ;

sohee was incredibly excited to be on a variety show as cool as running man. there was always something new happening in the episodes. though it’s chillier now that it was late september, sohee wishes that one day they can do a summer episode of running man and do the water courses like she sees other idols have fun doing.

she was practically bouncing behind the doors to be revealed to the cast members of their participation for today. she could hear their muffled talking beyond the door. “sana are you nervous for today?” sohee asks, grabbing the younger’s hand to squeeze. “i don’t want you to feel too shy with your korean, okay?”

on running man they often spoke over each other and it sounded jumbled. since sana wasn’t a native speaker, it would probably be hard for her to keep up. she didn’t want sana to feel uncomfortable at all. “if you don’t understand let me know, okay? unnie will take care of you.”

y@rksejeong​ -> @rksxna

 [ order - yubin - sejeong - sana ] 

packing had come easier than expected, she knew she would have to do her best to pack light. so on her own, she elimated a few piles of clothing. now she had one fairly large one and with the help of doyeon and her mom, she finally narrowed it down. now she had arrived at their dorm and before she got settled in, she waited for sejeong and sana to show up. dorm rooms affairs had settled pretty quickly. still, she didn’t want to settle into the room without waiting for the other two. 

yubin also knew that she was a bit early for the move in. why not have a look around? it still didn’t feel too real, the fac that they were moving into dorms. this was really it. in a short while, depending on how long it took to get their debut ready, they’d really be k.arma. finally, she heard the sound of someone coming in and left the room she was in to find out who it was. 

[rkjxy]

all we hear is radio,

@rksxna

while she would not consider herself as a sort of variety aficionado, she’s still somewhat disappointed that they weren’t invited in any variety shows for their first month of promotions. shows could have been a great avenue for them to showcase their other skills, as well as for the fans to get to know a different side of themselves. maybe some other time, when they have garnered enough public interest. for now, she’d be happily contented with the radio shows they were to attend.

“are you excited?” she asks the younger girl, hands wrapped around the headphones they were about to wear. personally, she’s practically buzzing. joy loves the radio and even dreams to have her own show someday. this would be a good practice for her when one more dream becomes reality. “i wonder what questions they’ll ask us? i hope it’s nothing too hard because otherwise maybe only the unnies will be able to talk about everything.” she jests, a small laugh spilling from her lips.

leaning back on her seat, she watches as the staff and everyone involved behind the scenes start setting up the system. the show’s set to start in a couple of minutes and she takes the moment to comfortably settle herself before it all begins. “oh gosh,” she springs up from her seat with a concerned frown, hands reaching out to grab sana’s arm. “what if they ask about special talents? i don’t think i have one.”

[rksejeong]

Fancy

@rksxna

Music shows were something still new in concept for Sejeong. Sure, she had watched them when she was just a fan at home, hoping for the chance to perform on one someday, but actually being on one, now this was different.  They were going to be out there performing their debut song, News as members of K.arma.  She had to admit that for the first time in a long time, she feels nervous.  She has only ever appeared on her YouTube channel before showing up at TRC and so she has no experience with this sort of thing. 

Trying to ease her nerves, she comes up behind Sana, slipping her arms around the younger girl’s waist, resting her chin on her shoulder.  “Sanaaa~  You have to teach me how to be on TV quick, okay?  Everyone already knows you, but no one knows me at all~”  what she’s saying is ridiculous, she knows it, but she’s hoping attention from Sana would distract her enough so that she isn’t as nervous.  “You know you’re my favorite, right~?  You know I fancy you~”  she started humming TwoIce’s new song in hopes she could get the other to smile~  

[rkness]

settle,

@rksxna

ever since the announcement of the official, final lineup for k.arma, they’ve been pushed to focus on preparing for debut. they’ve got lines to focus on, to practice and see where they’ll fit into, and moving into the dorms. they’re living together, preparing for debut and it’s all so surreal; for vanessa, it’s familiar, but she knows it isn’t the same for everyone else. and sana, especially, she’s worried for. she knows that sana worked hard to be placed in the lineup-- but she knows that maybe that isn’t the case for everyone else. 

“ah, sana!” she raises her hand up and waves the girl over as they’re taking a break, offering a small smile to the girl. “i’ve got a question for you. do you mind if i take a few seconds of your time? i promise i won’t bite.” she bares her teeth in a cute little grin, hoping to ease any tension at the sudden call of her attention. she doesn’t want to make it a big deal, but she does want to know how sana’s handling everything.

[rksakura]

❀ 忘れないよ (i won’t forget)

sending to @rksxna !

a shoulder to lean on, secret words exchanged and trust forms. sakura has considered sana one of her best friends for such a long time, dating back to sweet and soft innocent toddlers with big, bright sparkling smiles and coos. ever since her departure from the motherland, she has suffered a great rift from her childhood friend. she visited japan every six months but it wasn’t the same as when she lived in the mainland, seeing sana every week had been her routine.

in fact, it’s been years since she’s last seen her best friend, which causes her immense loneliness and hurt. she’s always desired to someone beloved to her. today is a great day because she’s going to see sana any minute. so, when she arrives at the cafe, sakura knew that the same girl she had grown up with still had the same baby face. they had kept their bond close and talked every now and then via social media. communication was a key core, which she never let go of.

a crescent shape forms on her mouth as she greets her, “oh my gosh! sana? is that you?” japanese unravels quickly, efficiency with the language flows naturally. sakura’s seen a lot has changed, physical features wise. “you still look the same but just more grown!” a hand is covering her mouth as she giggles softly. “do you remember me? it’s sakura.” 

if she had been talking to the wrong person, that would be awkward beyond belief.

[rkpcy]

what do you think about your company's upcoming girl group?

“i think they’re gonna do great,” he answers honestly, a supportive smile on his lips. “and i’m happy for them. i really think they’re gonna kick ass with a tough concept that will really show their skills and personalities. they’ll be sure to win over a bunch of fans!” he grins, holding two thumbs up. “yubin’s rapping is practically unmatched among any of the trc trainees, and joy and doyeons’s dance skills are amazing. sohee & sejeong’s charismatic voices will draw anyone in, and sana’s absolutely charming. and ness? don’t even get me started. she’s a god damn star. with her as leader, where can they go wrong?”

“they’re all amazing girls, and i’ll support them 100%!” he says, raising his arms, hands balled up in fists in show of his support. laughter leaves him, though, as he adds, “just don’t ask me to pick a bias.”
