“but unnie, that can be forever from now! why can’t you tell me now?” whining slightly by the end, lips stuck out into an uncharacteristic pout hoping that would be enough to diffuse her unnie. jihyo refusing to answer just made her want to get a response even more, specially with that jab. it wasn’t like she had asked something extremely difficult. she was old enough to do this, right? “you can’t tell me that you didn’t sneak off with your friends in high school! tell me some of your tricks,” she asked again, tugging on jihyo’s arms and shaking it back and forth. 

Being the responsible yet supportive leader of Twice, she shakes her head and looks away, trying to avoid her maknae’s signature look that would persuade her. “Tzuyu-yah, you gotta go! One, no- two days is too many to skip! We’re suppose to set examples for Once!” there is a faint chuckle even after her own words despite how serious she intends them to be, “but even our Once need a study break. If you just happen to skip school, I wouldn’t do it in the middle of the week- It has to be a Monday or Friday. I think school’s understand the most if you don’t feel well or if you’re sick over the weekend. Don’t be sick next week, Tzuyu-yah!”

—-  ❝ i don’t think you have to worry about that at all. ❞ mina spoke silently and leaned back in the couch to have a look at the variety the leader had appeared on the pre-recording of the other day, and mina could very well remember how angry the elder had been over how no one seemed to receive what she was saying or take it into consideration. even the manager, who usually was very good with comforting the girls with them doing a good job was concerned whether the other had been edited ot or not. no one seemed to be pleased with jihyo’s appearance of the show and now they would all get the results, to see if it had been well received or not.  ❝ you are good at making a fool of yourself on the stage, so i’m sure that you will be able to bring some laughter to you. ❞ this was the kind of blunt honesty that only thing mina was able to possess and she wasn’t too sure if she was happy that she was like this at times, however she did know that jihyo didn’t take it the wrong way and she knew that the fellow 97-liner was only trying to encourage her to the finest.

She let her emotions get the best of her during the recording. She was sure small parts of hers or her entire presence in the show would be scripted, cropped, or edited out. And no matter how much she persisted and sought for acknowledgement, no one seemed to mind her. However, she was thankful for her fellow ‘97 liner that helped her during those times. Of course all the members helped and supported her in some form or another, but there was a special bond the two held by being born in the same year. Not to mention the years they spent together allowed their relationship to bloom to a point where they knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses easily. She leaned further on the sofa as well, a pout altered her expressions, “You’re right. Although I still believe there is a need to worry. No matter how cute or funny I may be, people always have their opinions. Some positive and others negative.”

Little Prompts:

“While I understand your worries, I do not think you have much to worry about, Jihyo ah. I know it may be hard to believe since the voices of negatives comments tend to be the ones that are louder than the ones of encouragement and positivity but do not ever once doubt that you are not meant to be in the group, okay?” It is no secret that the leader of Twice seemed to be the favorite go-to target for netizens to pick on ever since the group’s debut, having lost count of the number of times Seungyeon has come across articles online with Jihyo’s name in it that spoke of the dislike and the insults that people were giving her. She never understood why Jihyo seems to be the receiving end of such treatment constantly because what Seungyeon sees in front of her is a beautiful woman with the talent along with it and she is not able to grasp the fact how people are unable to see that, instead choosing to nitpick over the smallest of details. “You’re doing a great job as the leader and main vocal of Twice. You have so much potential in you to continuously become something greater than you are and I, along with many others, will be cheering for you all the way.” 

She tries to not let such comments affect her. She usually overlooks them or mentions how upset she is briefly before moving on to another subject. But this time is different. When such comments involve other members or the group as a whole, she starts to doubt and question her validity as leader. She often comforts her girls in these situations but keeps herself sound and strong. But now, meeting her member’s sister has her keeping back tears as she flips her phone over on the table, screen facing downwards. 

She listens to the older female and her encouraging words, and she is happy with her presence. She wipes her tears with the sleeve of her jacket before she reaches over, and holds the actress’s hands in hers, “Thank you eonni! Of course we won’t let you or any Once down!” she brings her hands back to her side and then to her cheeks when she realizes more tears flowed, “Ah I can’t believe I’m crying this much- I cry so easily.” She tries to dismiss the tears with a light chuckle, “Have you talked to Jeongyeon eonni lately? I can’t wait to tell her what happened today.”

Send 💋 to randomly kiss my your muse. ► Symbol Starters ( accepting ) @ziyuyi

Recently, she’s been overwhelmed yet overjoyed with the continuation of their success. She arrived backstage with the girls not too long after receiving their third award for the night. Her eyes were watery but most of her tears passed once she received hugs and comfort from her girls. It was a joyful moment on stage and her tears were only happy tears that continued backstage.

 Once she dries her eyes she joins her girls once more. She finds her first ‘victim,’ one that she can share all her love and affection with. Her arms wrap around her maknae’s shoulders from the side, squeezing her tightly in an embrace. “Awww my maknae did so well today! You really are something!” she leans in and gives her a kiss on the cheek, ending with a ‘muwah’ sound. “Continue to make me proud, okay?”

The train wasn’t even busy and he had no idea as to why she decided to sit so close to him. It made him highly agitated with the atmosphere of the train. “ is there a reason you felt the need, on a practically empty train to sit right next to me? I mean if you’re trying to piss off your boyfriend or something that’s fine, but you’re pretty much invading the living hell out of my personal space. “  

The words slipped unexpectedly from the book she held. She felt exhausted from a days practice and preparation for their future concert that she barely noticed herself speak aloud. She placed the book on her lap then placed her hands over her eyes, rubbing them to rid herself of any visible bags or signs of exhaustion. She finished when she heard a low voice. Unsure of where the voice came from she goes back to her thoughts only to hear it again. She glanced up, a frown appearing on her features when she realized he’s talking to her. Yet, his words weren’t effective considering she heard worse. “Are you done?” by the way he spoke she assumed he wasn’t aware of who she was, “You move.”

—(#나너좋아해)—Euijin gave Jihyo a nod in agreement to her terms. Lately, the older idol had been trying to further improve her jokes and over-all humour. She always carried the title of being one of the “no fun” members due to how boring she usually was, but with this new year, she was determined to change that. “And if I manage to get you to cry, it’ll be a hundred–which I’ll definitely gonna get,” she said with a fist going up to show her resolve. Clearing her throat, she sits up and looks at Jihyo straight in the eye. “How many tickles does it take to make a squid laugh?” 

“Ohh” there was a sparkle in eye because she is truly amazed at the resolve the elder displayed, “With that kind of attitude, I’m sure after a few attempts I’ll be on the floor, crying from laughter.” She straightened her posture as if it affected how well she received the joke. “Tickles...squids?” she tilted her head, not having a hint as to what the answer could be. After a second she throws an answer out in the open knowing that its probably wrong, “eight!”

‘ oh.. sorry. ’ his intention wasn’t to be rude, he merely focused so much on what the other was saying he found himself not realizing he hadn’t spoken for awhile. taeyong didn’t really think he had much to say, but understood having a one way conversation wasn’t the most entertaining of acts. ‘ i enjoy listening to you talk though– - ’ he laughed, sitting up straight as though it was going to help him be more active in the conversation. ‘ ok, ok i’ll talk .. see i’ve already so well and it’s been less than a minute. ’

“You enjoy listening to me talk?” there was slight skepticism in her voice but she quickly tried to cover it up with her following words “that’s really nice, but you know, there is only so much I can talk about,” she laughed. Formal situations such as interviews or variety shows meant she was often the one speaking the most considering her position. Not to mention with the title “Twice’s Mic” the volume of her voice typically placed her as the lead speaker. “So, what about you? All I know is one or two things Jaehyun-ssi has mentioned. You don’t expect those to be good things, right?” her tone was playful and she looked away, not wanting to reveal that she was joking.

    💅      Usually she didn’t pay much attention, not to her nails, only doing the necessary things, cutting, filing, if there was time, a layer of clear nail polish, seeing no need to tend to colors, to pay attention to more than a clean look. It hadn’t been necessary, not in her adolescence, not now, if there was an event, her mom pulled her aside, told her to stay still, quickly putting on some color, paying attention to the things Yuzi didn’t, wasn’t used to.Now it wasn’t her mother, sitting next to her, painting her nails, hands flat on the kitchen isle,watching how shimmery pink was spread, erasing the natural color of her nails. Let me try it,it had started, talking about the nail polish bought on the way, somewhere in between Jihyo’s and her own home, coming for a sudden visit, faced with the spartanic living room, more a dance studio than a place to relax, the neat and clean kitchen, filled with food, grateful she had been grocery shopping recently.

       A sudden visit, a cup of coffee, some sweet orders, it had happened quickly, ending with her sitting there, watching her nails get treated, silently observing, thinking what to say,whether to say anything, time passing like that, all her nails finally finished. “Thank you”, she mumbled, reaching for her cup carefully, not to ruin the attentive work, pulling it closer to take a sip, hiding behind her mug.

With an appreciated grin she replied “hm, you’re welcome eonni! I’m glad you like them.” She enjoyed moments like these and she enjoyed them often living with eight girls of her own. When the opportunity came around to paint the Yuzi’s nails she quickly took it, persuading her that painting nails was a hidden talent of hers. Although red was a favorite color of hers, she chose pink. The shimmery pink matched well with her skin tone, yet it was noticeable from a small distance away. “Eonni, you should go out tonight and show them off. Maybe for our concert, I’ll have my nails painted this color as well.” After closing the bottle, she held it in her hands examining how the color would pair with her skin tone. 

She glanced up, noticing Yuzi’s slender fingers carefully wrap around her cup. “You should be a hand model?” The compliment may have not been worded incorrectly and said hesitantly, but there was merit to her words. Her eyesight moved back to her own hands holding the nail polish bottle. They were no where as elegant as the older’s. She pursed her lips, “for me, on the other hand, that probably would not happen.”

Hyejeong was feeling down and didn’t quite think she seemed others notice, not when she was always a happy and positive person. The only other person who usually noticed was her member Yuna, she didn’t expect it to be none other than Twice’s leader. The great thing about it all was that the younger female didn’t ask Hyejeong what was wrong, she didn’t quite want to talk about their group’s two new songs weren’t doing so well since their release. With a slight smile, the AOA member nodded towards the female while opening her arms up just a bit. “Yeah, I think I could use a hug as well.”

There were certain hints through body language and facial expressions that led Jihyo to automatically show concern and empathy. Being the leader of eight girls meant she had to be cautious and caring of others’ feelings. And when she saw Hyejeong sunbae that evening, she knew something wasn’t right but refrained from asking. Instead, when the other replied yes, she  wrapped her arms around the taller female, embracing tightly to reveal her concern. She smiled, “Hyejeong sunbaenim, please get shorter so our hugs are perfect,” she attempted to lighten the mood, “whatever is bothering you, I hope it goes away soon! You’re pretty and talented so I hope you are happy all the time.”

with their awkward encounter previously he wasn’t sure that she would remember but he definitely did. jihyo had believed that wei was someone else and had been calling him the other person’s name. a simple mistake and the first time she said it wei had been too shy to correct her. “well i wasn’t sure if you would or not - just tell me again, what’s my name?” he was almost teasing her not letting it go, although he would eventually, he felt like playing around a little more. “c’mon~” he wriggled his shoulders in an overly cute manner.

She parted her lips, wanting to say nevermind don’t answer that please but before she could, he began his teasing and she’s flooded with embarrassment once more. Not once but twice. She pronounced his name entirely wrong and it couldn’t be blamed on anything else but her forgetfulness. “Wei-sshi, you gotta let me live this one down, okay?” His name was said with emphasis to reveal that she hadn’t forgotten this time, “...is this aegyo?” she laughed, “i have pretty high levels of aegyo myself, but yours is just as adorable! It could make anyone do anything so don’t take advantage of it!”

Sana’s lips part at the query, “Oh…” She hums a bit, as her imagination starts to work while the female idol tries to envision cooking bacon on a hair straightener. Because of her innate curiosity, an idea then pops in her head. “Ah tell you what, maybe we should get one of the hair straighteners from the basement,” She pauses pointing to the staircase leading to the basement, the same space that doubles as Twice’s hair and make up room. “And then we’ll try it out? It won’t hurt to try right.. I mean it might be dangerous.. And crazy, but-” Sana purses her lips in a tight line, still debating on whether or not they should go through with it. “But- but now I’m so curious! We need to test it.”

Truthfully,she didn’t think before she spoke and now her eyes widen at making her suggestion practical. They should think twice, but on a Friday night free of schedules, what else would girls do besides cooking bacon with a straightening iron? Of course, nothing else. She jumps up from her seat on the sofa, reaching over for her elder’s hand as soon as she points towards the basement, “If they ask, lets say we saw a DIY video online,” she chuckles. Her grip tightens around her member’s hand, squeezing it out of excitement as she leads her downstairs, “You’ve made me curious as well, eonni! I’m sure we’re not the first to try it, but we’ll be the first to succeed!”

Since momo and jihyo’s schedule wasn’t as packed, they went shopping. “hasn’t it been a long time since we ever had the time to go shopping?” she asked the other, while walking down to go shopping. “hopefully no one notices us.” she said behind the mask that she was wearing to make sure no one would notice her. 

She reached over and linked arms with the older female, hugging lightly as if to get warmer in the chill weather, “It has been! I don’t remember the last time since we’ve had so much ‘free time’”, she chuckles and loosens her grip around the other until her hands are back by her side, “Hm, don’t worry about it- I don’t think we’ll be recognized. But if we are, I don’t mind signing a few autographs. What store should we start with first?”

“We’re getting out of here unseen.” ( thank you for following! )

@chgknim 

“Really…” the word leaves her lips and a frown follows. she doesn’t quite trust him to get them out unseen. After all, it is partially her fault that they wandering around the event’s backstage area. She left her group momentary in search for a meditating corner before performing. As she did so they crossed paths for conversation. They spoke shortly but when she began to make her way back she lost her way. “Are you lost as well, Changkyun-ssi?” Her concern is visible. What if she doesn’t make it back in time? Or what if she does, but netizen comments flood the web if she returns with him? Shaking her head she tries to dismisses negative thoughts, “do you have any ideas?”
