lgc:producermission / trademark sound preparation solo ;

the first mission given in the creatives division is both easy and difficult at the same time. easy, because sungkyu knows what to do, knows how to do it. lyrics come naturally and music can be tested and tried until something is produced. sungkyu is used to that. difficult, in the sense that this is suppose to be some sort of trademark and sungkyu is stumped at figuring what exactly to do.

music changes gradually, tastes develop over time. to figure out such a brand is difficult-- and maybe it's just temporary. nothing set in stone, but something to consider, a vibe to focus on when it comes to the creation process. to figure out a song that people can pinpoint and go hey, that's (insert name)'s style! thinking about it worries sungkyu, so he spends quite a deal of time worrying over it.

nothing sounds write when it's on paper. it's a bunch of scribbled out words and thoughts that don't blend together. so instead, he focuses on the music. he fiddles with the sound and pedal boards, goes through various demos on his harddrive to find something to work with.

finding the base beat is hard, but it helps with figuring out the rest of the vibe of the song, twisting into a more r&b feel. it's after trials and testing that he gets it roughly done. in the process, the song stirs up a feeling, and he's quick to scramble for his notebook.

the lyrics he scribbles down don't really make sense at first. they're just statements, thoughts written onto paper that don't have substantial meaning-- and it takes hours, takes a great deal of time and sorting. he sifts through random strings of lyrics, bit by bit-- old and new, and switches between his phone and the notebook. it's a creative process, an outline that he quickly fills in. everything after that comes fine-tuning, comes rough demo with his voice singing lyrics softly in a tune that fits. it doesn't sound good, because sungkyu has never been the best vocalist, or even good at all. but it gives the illusion, the feeling of the song and the lyrics that he's strung up together.

it comes together through what feels like true blood, sweat, and tears, but at the end, sungkyu's happy with the result.

lgcsoyoun‌:

The staff inform her that her partner is already waiting inside, so Soyoun puts on her friendliest smile when instructed to enter the room. Her smile no longer feels forced when she sees a familiar face waiting for her. “Hi! I’m Soyoun. It’s nice to meet you too, Sungkyu,” she says with a smile. She looks around them, and indeed, it looks like they will be cooking. “I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.” She decides to break the ice. “On a scale of disaster to Gordon Ramsay, how would you rank your cooking skills?”  

he feels loads more comfortable with the familiar face, and sungkyu's body begins to relax more and more, bit by bit. he smiles pleasantly at her, chuckling as he bows his head once more, his gaze firmly on her as he lifts his stare. he's incredibly aware of the cameras around them, and he shifts for a moment, uncomfortable until the eye settles back with him once more.

his smile widens even more with a warm chuckle at her response. he nods along with her-- blinking and raising his eyebrows at her question. his teeth worry his lower lip, and he lets out a long hum. the corners of his lips are twitching-- amused, before slowly lifting into a small smile, and there's a playful twist to it. "ah...gordon ramsay..." he trails off. "is he a real cook or an actor?" he muses, before ducking his head shyly, rubbing the back of his neck. he doesn’t know much about the guy, other than he’s some sort of celebrity in the cooking field. "i'm not a disaster, but i don't think i'm mr. ramsey, either? i'm a quick learner though." he's quick to amend, dropping his hand.

he drifts his attention to the counter, and moves to grab one of the aprons laid out for them. sungkyu extends it out to soyoun, smiling encouragingly. "these first, probably?" he tilts his head. "and then washing our hands. that's the most important one." he grins cheekily, eyes bright.

he moves to set up his own apron, ensuring it's tied securely around his neck and he's humming thoughtfully as he ties the strings behind him. his eyes briefly flicker over the counter in thought, noting the assortment of ingredients. "there's a lot of pasta." he notes, tilting his head. he notes the types of meats, the sauces and other various vegetables littered around it. a lot of options. "looks like...italian, right? have you had italian before?"

lgceunho‌:

he lets out a small, pensive, huh, before turning to sungkyu. “do you think we’re lost?” he asks, laughing nervously—sheepishly. they’re definitely lost. and maybe if his stupid phone would work— “maybe just a teeny tiny bit lost.” 

great. 

sungkyu feels like he could tour japan all day, no rest-- completely entertained and satiated by the sights and the experience alone. at the prospect of exploring, he's quick to jump up at opportunty, happy to be out and about in the city. he doesn't really care where they go, so he's mindless as they move around. he pops up with a question or a oh, that's so cool to something they pass by. and sure, maybe he should be at least paying attention to where they're going-- but sungkyu's so distracted by everything around him, that he doesn't give it much thought at all.

when the scenery becomes less and less busy, does sungkyu let the thought of huh, where are we? cross his brain. blinking curiously, he's studying their surroundings when eunho hums, and immediately sungkyu turns his stare to him. "uh," he blinks, his gaze averting back to around them. his teeth worry his lip. "maybe...? a little lost isn't so bad." he offers up, smiling as he chuckles. shoving his hands into his pocket, he tugs out his own phone, squinting at the screen. his battery is fine, but the connection bar is teetering on no signal to little, and he moves to open the map app to try.

"i'm sure we can figure it out?" sungkyu shoots a smile at the other, humming as he looks back the way they came. "should...we retrace our steps? maybe stuff will look a little familiar?"

lgcxjongsuk‌:

this was definitely by far the weirdest line of metaphor he ever made but somehow it fit and he had made it work. it still left him chuckling quietly as he took a bite, chewing away on a mouthful of rice.

he really needs to not slouch so much when he works, or at least get up more often and stretch his bones, but most of the time he really can't bring himself to move when he's working on a track. he's thankful for jongsuk's help, humming as he leans his head away for better access. "thanks," he lets out a soft sigh. "my body's killing me."

sungkyu's quiet, nodding along with the others words. he swallows the bite he had been working on, waiting until his mouth is completely devoid of food beore he speaks. "a one hit wonder huh," he says, leaning his head back to stare up at the ceiling in thought. "maybe they're all wonders." sungkyu speaks up after a moment, straightening his form back up so he can eat again. as he chews, he's quick to swallow, grabbing his water to take another sip from.

he grows quiet, thoughtful. he taps the top of the water bottle to his lip, staring off before he turns his head to look at the other. "isn't it difficult?" he asks softly, tilting his head to the side. "the, uh." he blinks, smiling awkwardly. "looking for, uh. a wonder."

lgcallie‌:

“ you’re right.  i don’t think you ever truly realize how big or beautiful the world is until you go see another place.” she smiles gently and looks up at the sky, feeling the touch of a breeze light on her face and the sounds of the city gracing her ears.  at sungkyu’s question, she pulls her gaze to him with a raised brow, “ are you hungry? you should have told me  -  we can go eat something first before we look around.  going about on an empty stomach isn’t as fun, is it?”

sungkyu lets out a hum, nodding his head with her words. "yeah, you've got that right." he chuckles, shooting her a smile before his attention is redirected back to the scenery. there's so much to look at, so much to take in. just a few days here feels almost cruel, but sungkyu will take advantage of it while he can, as long as he can appreciate it.

"wish we could see more of it." he says softly, his smile twisting somewhat somber before settling into acceptance. at her question, sungkyu lets out a soft noise of thought, tongue poking against the inside of his cheek as he lifts a hand to rub at the back of his neck.

shaking his head, he shoots her a smile, this time somewhat sheepish. "it's fine, we can just grab some streetfood. it's less that i'm hungry and more that i just want to eat cool stuff." he scratches his cheek, turning his gaze away as he begins to look around. there's the smell of food around them, it's just a matter of deciding where to start. "are you hungry? we can sit and eat something if you want." he shoves his hands into his pockets, twisting his head to look at her with a grin.

teach you,

@lgceunji

languages are difficult, sungkyu understands. he doesn't know very much outside of basic hello, how are you? and what's your name? in other languages, and is only fluent in his native tongue. but they're interesting, to say the least; and there's lots you could do with them, as long as you put into the work into learning. and sungkyu's hardworking if he's nothing else.

he taps a pencil on the side of his paper, eyebrows pinched and furrowing as he moves between the characters, translating them and memorizing in his head. he lets out a huff, breathing out through his nose as he moves to lean on his elbow. cupping his chin in his hand, he hums quietly, glancing back up at the younger girl looking at her own book. it's a tag team study session, learning and practicing languages.

"english is hard." he says simply, in accented english, but clear as day. he lets out a sigh, glancing back down at his paper, then back up at eunji. "how are you doing?" he switches back to korean, smiling at her.

ring the alarm ; reaction solo!

he's almost done with the track he's working on. it's been days, weeks of working through a part of the hook that just didn't sound right, and after pinpointing the issue he's well on his way to adding another completed song to his list. he's focused, brows pinched and furrowed with concentration.

and then the alarm sounds.

sungkyu's frame goes rigid at the sound, fingers stilling on the keyboard keys in front of him. slowly, he twists his head around, one hand moving to remove the headphones briefly to hear it properly-- but the sudden buzz of the others in the room propel him to move faster. when staff gets involved, directing trainees to get up and move for the fire alarm is when sungkyu feels the uncomfortable twist in his gut.

he's clumsy, fumbling with his headphones. his brain is screaming save the file, grab your computer-- but the ushering grows and the yelling in the hallway paired with the alarm makes his palms begin to sweat. cursing under his breath, he follows instructions and moves to leave. the hallway is crowded, trainees lined up and ushered in the cleanest line they can form. sungkyu tucks in close, wrapping his arms around himself as he shuffles forward, eyes flickering around to take note of his surroundings. some look worried, others look bored and borderline annoyed. but the seriousness that the staff is giving off makes him worry, and his throat bobs with his swallow.

he manages to catch up with a trainee he knows, and sticks close as they make their way outside of the building. with every step that they take, sungkyu notes that there isn't any obvious indication of a fire, so the news of the prank comes with more relief than it does ire.

got me there, he thinks, frowning as he rubs a hand over the area of his heart, as if soothing the rapid fire beating it had been doing during the duration of the evacuation. at the smell of pizza and the impromptu lunch, sungkyu thinks it isn't that bad of a prank. maybe if the alarm was a little less loud...

cooking by the book,

@lgcsoyoun

when sungkyu joined legacy, he told himself to never miss an opportunity to put himself out there. to network, talk to people, the works. you can't get anywhere if people don't know how you are, can't get any popularity or traction if you're not seen in the public eye. so when the date lottery opportunity comes up, sungkyu says, why not?

it's nervewracking, in all honesty. he's the first to arrive, and he can't stop fidgeting. sungkyu's eyes move between cameras, the kitchen set up around them; cooking utensils and ingredients settled throughout the room, on various counters. he takes in a slow breath, eyes moving to the entrance and then around again. he shifts awkwardly, smiling as he reaches up to fix his hair. it's more to busy his hands then to really fix himself up. "i'm nervous," he confesses quietly, but still picked up by the rolling cameras. "did i get here too early..."

he ponders the thought for only a few moments more, fiddling with strap of the apron folded neatly on the counter. soon enough, staff begin to move and shifting and the sound of approaching footsteps and his attention being directed towards the front of the room. sungkyu straightens up, taking a moment to swallow as he waits for the reveal of his partner; when she appears in the doorway, sungkyu blinks in surprise, recognition settling before a small smile crosses his face.

he isn't quite sure what to do, but a greeting is probably best, right? so he steps forward, moving to bow in greeting, the smile never faltering from his face. "hello," he projects his voice loud enough to be heard. soyoun is a trainee he's familiar with, but not entirely. they've both been here about the same time, with soyoun just a little longer than himself. is it better if it's a new meeting or something familiar? there are so many thoughts going through sungkyu's head. "i'm sungkyu," he clasps his hands together in front of him, and maybe his ears are a little pink from the attention. "it's nice to meet you," with a pause, he chances a glance around, his smile turning a bit crooked as he chuckles. "from the looks of it, i hope you're ready to cook."

lgcsubin‌:

subin rubs his forehead, heaving a sigh with a shrug of his shoulders.  “ i have a headache.  not sure i want to eat pizza right now  -  especially not when i should be studying for my exam ..” he mutters, dropping his hand as he glances at the table filled with pizza.  “ you ate already then?”

sungkyu blinks, before letting out a chuckle, smiling. it makes him feel better about the situation, because subin is right. "ah, yeah. still, though." maybe he should have actually showed up to school the days they held mandatory school drills like that. maybe he'd be much more used to it. "i could definitely live without it. leave it to an actual emergency at least." he rubs the back of his neck. "it was a...lot. definitely could have cut back. saved my   eardrums from the onslaught."

frowning at the information, he lets out a noise of understanding. damn, wish he had brought his bag out with him. he knows he has some sort of pain reliever tucked away in that. "ah, sorry..." he catches the barest mutter of studying for an exam, and sungkyu hums.

"uh." he nods, sheepish. "figured i'd take the chance. i'll probably end up working on stuff later to make up for lost time, so doubt i'll have a chance to eat something filling." he shrugs. at least he doesn't have to work the convenience store, gives him more time to catch up on things. "make sure you eat something when you get home then. especially if the headache is still there." he adds on unhelpfully, rocking on his heels. sometimes headaches are made worse when you haven't eaten-- sungkyu's been on the ending of that more than he'd like to admit. "what exam are you taking?"
