WE GO UP.

✰ ╎ @rkyngsun ;

juyeon’s a little taken back by sphere girls suddenly going from one to one hundred in about five seconds flat. but it wasn’t a bad thing. it had been hard watching so many trainees leave sphere, be it to follow a dream elsewhere or to find a new dream. juyeon understood. she wasn’t one to hold grudges and while she had felt sad about it for a long time, almost giving up herself, it was heartz that was her opportunity to finally follow her dream for real, and not just dream about it. with her fellow sphere girls, and some new faces too. 

the new girls are all very pretty, and they seem nice and approachable. which makes this much easier for juyeon and the other girls. it’s probably advisable that they get acquainted quickly. it’s a girl with pretty hair and a kind face that juyeon decides to approach first. with both of her arms outstretched, a wide smile on her face; juyeon bounds over to her in a friendly but somewhat intimidating manner. “hi there!” she stops a little front of the trainee, not wanting to make her anymore uncomfortable than she already had done. she could be a little forward at times, but she hopes that it’s taken well. “welcome to sphere! i’m juyeon.” she gestures to the space around her before extending a sweater-pawed hand. 

amidst her introduction, juyeon glances around the room. it’s happening. after what feels like an eternity of waiting, practicing, dreaming and hoping, everything she and the other girls had been working hard for was coming to life. are all of these girls her future group mates? is she going to end up making the cut? or is she still dreaming?

daniel isn’t so involved in the social aspects of sphere. he is a little moreso now that chungha is here, and he’s gotten closer to the other boys, but most of the time, he stays in his bubble of training. he fills his time with writing songs, mainly, but when it’s not that, it’s everything in between: singing, dancing, acting, basic workshops required for debut. he doesn’t even know what he’ll do once he’s done with those and the world is his oyster, but he takes everything one day at a time, quelling his anxious mind’s anticipation.

today, independent study is spent on dancing, or at least he intends for it to be so. the routine they went over in dance lessons today was exceptionally difficult for him. he improved in his dancing greatly in his, how long was it now, four months? of training, but it’s still undoubtedly the area he struggles the most in. it seems their evaluations most commonly involve dancing, so he tries to make sure he doesn’t slip, even when his evaluations don’t involve dancing. this month, he’s doing another band performance, with only a little of bang bang bang’s choreography. 

when he opens the door to a studio, he’s shocked to see a familiar face: yongsun. “yong noona?” once the initial surprise wears off, he knows she wouldn’t be here if she wasn’t a trainee practicing herself. why was she in sphere, though? “what are you doing here?” it’s certainly not a bad thing. in fact, he wants to smile; he hasn’t seen her in a while. he refrains, though, just in case it is bad news for her.

leap of faith ;

sunmi had mentally checked out with the rest of nova following the conclusion of the sueprnova project. it had been a strenuous time: draining both physically and mentally. the mind games played, the favouritism, the dramatics; sunmi was more than ready for it to end. not to mention that after that, they weren’t even given much time before pushing them into dorms. sunmi had to then pack everything she brought with her plus more in order to move to the and*roma dorms. then it was many, many months of waiting until and*roma’s debut.

that means she didn’t maintain contact with yongsun (or bambam) since the competitions conclusion. although she at the very least had dinner with bambam and they regularly text. because of the timing of yongsun’s addition to nova, sunmi didn’t really have a lot of time to get to know her. the production was the bulk of the time they’ve ever spent together. ultimately, they ended as acquaintances. maybe that’s why sunmi hadn’t seen much of her since.

but when she does see her, it’s on her way to the cafeteria for lunch. sunmi didn’t feel like spending an excessive amount of money and nova offered pretty good meals for all of them. her eyes catch yongsun on her way back, her tray filled with food and dishes (she was super excited for the selection of kimbap). she takes a detour, sitting across the other with a wide smile. “hey stranger,” she greets, pushing back her now dark hair out of her face. it was barely brushing her shoulders now. not long enough to toss up into a ponytail just yet. but getting there.

“how’ve you been? good, i hope.” she starts transferring her food from the tray to the table. “what have they kept you guys doing for evaluations?” a part of her missed them -- when they were good, that is. it was a time to interact with other trainees in other companies. sometimes they were doing some really cool stuff. “i hope you’re not doing just basic covers.”

@rkyngsun

there are good things about new transfers from other companies to be part of heartz debut project like for instance there are new girls to work with plus the ones who joined the ranks are taeyeon’s friend which is all dandy however the bad side of things meaning that the chances of becoming the main vocal are looking pretty slim when wonderful vocalists like yongsun and luda are around. its funny taeyeon was never really interested in becoming the main vocalist she just felt happy to be part of the team yet sphere kept giving her more lines in the evaluation projects and singing abilities improved immensely she realize that she wouldn’t mind being the main singer in the group. the older female sitting in the practice reading over the lines realizing once again she gets to sing the chorus of she’z song which is honored to do, she always understands that she never to picked to fancier powerful notes because that’s her voice however she did worry about next month since the coaches said that new girls didn’t many lines since they don’t really know what really capable of which means that might get fewer lines once more back in the old trainee days. a small pout formed on her lips thinking about that horrible possibility even though she knows that yongsun & luda do deserve more lines since their vocals are beautiful, she never felt so conflicted before especially they were her good friends too. 

she jumped onto her feet staring at the mirror in the practice room then start practicing her lines trying out various facial expressions while singing loud & clearly to see what suited more to the routine since she wants to make sure she looked her best while doing it and what would touch their hearts more than others. she’z is that group she always works on doing the song justice since she is quite a big fan of her sunbaes so she couldn’t just give a half-ass performance. during her little practice, she could hear someone opening the door to come in, it happened to one and only yongsun. the older trainee stopped looking like a deer in headlights as she didn’t know who it was at first but once she realized it was her fellow group member her eyes formed into happy crescent moons. 

“Yongsun! Have you came to practice with me??!”

after a few days, jiwon still feels like she’s in another world. ( or more appropriate : a whole different galaxy ) she’s spent days holed in either her room or in a practice room learning the steps to a group she had yet to completely wrap her head around. after months of memorizing eclipse’s entire discography, here she is allowing her head to leak out the steps in order to make room for and*roma’s extensive and difficult choreography. to say it was hard was an understatement, at least to jiwon’s sentiments. if she thought she was a good dancer at kt, here at nova, she was above average, at most. 

even when she was learning the choreography, she felt like she could barely keep up. her movements growing sloppier by each attempt. so much so, that after the nth time, she had given up and finally decided to give herself a break. if she kept giving herself such a hard time, there was no way she’d improve, this she knew. so, she takes a breather. allowing herself to get out of the one practice room she’s made a home out of, to venture around the building, memorizing the layout of the company building she was now to call home. and much like the last, jiwon wasn’t sure she had a place in its world, either.

she knows this is supposed to be a competition, but honestly, sua doesn’t feel the fire burning in her like she should.  she hasn’t felt that fire in awhile.

it’s odd for her  -  in every aspect but this, sua has always been a competitive person but perhaps what’s happened has left her ice cold.  it’s certainly made her more numb than anything else and even hearing the news about a potential debut only made her blink and carry on.  truthfully, she didn’t want to do this, but here she is: thrown into the midst of a preparation for debut, in a company that she doesn’t want to be in, doing things she would rather not be doing.

the music industry is a dumpster fire, and they’re all burning.

still, sua does what she’s supposed to and bites her tongue.  there’s nothing yet that has made her want to spit her venom, so she pretends to be the good girl that sphere wants her to be.  she pretends that debut is something that she wants, that she’s working hard towards because in truth, sua is someone who works hard anyway.  even if she hates the concept that they’re going for.  

(  she can always pull out of this at the end if she really doesn’t want to do it.  right?  )

and just because she feels this way, doesn’t mean that others do.  there are girls who have transferred from other companies for this opportunity and she doesn’t want to destroy their hopeful desperation.  this is something that they want  -  sua doesn’t understand why they’re asking to burn.  her eyes pull to yongsun especially, shot down once by her own company and still trying.  she sighs a little as she watches her practice on her own.  “ the move you’re doing there  -  it should have a little more impact.”  sua finally speaks up.  “ you’ll get noticed more that way.”

                                  ✧ FIRST TIME JIDDERS ✧

So Hot (line distribution) | @rkchungha, @rkhyojeong, @rkyngsun

Today was the big day. Today, Yoona was participating in her first evaluation as a trainee and she was freaking out. Scratch that. She was full-on panicking. There was a lot riding on this eval, and she had a lot to prove. Her father was expecting a lot out of her and she knew what would happen if she were to fail on her first try. She was reminded of her failed MGA and Royal auditions and she knew if she were to fail again it would be the end of her. Literally.

It wasn’t that she lacked confidence in her group, they had rehearsed a lot. It was that she lacked confidence in herself. If Chungha wasn’t in the group and she had been surrounded by all senior trainees then she would have run long ago. She was thankful that Chungha was a newly signed trainee like her. Yoona felt more at ease being around her.

Yoona was still adjusting to her new schedule and to the fact she had less free time than before. She wasn’t able to do as much as she used to do, but she didn’t mind. She was where she wanted to be and had made it one step closer to achieving her dreams. That was all that mattered to her. The group’s rehearsals were not a bother to her. In fact, she enjoyed them. No one rehearsal was the same and she loved moments like that. While it had been awkward and slow at first as they got to know each other and worked out what they would do, by the end they were all dancing with power and their vocals were spot on.

Being the oldest in the group, Yoona naturally took on a motherly role and so she was always bringing water and food to rehearsals and making sure Hyojeong, Yongsun and Chungha were not working themselves too hard and that they remembered to take care of themselves since she had heard how some people can get when it gets close to evaluation time.

Yoona had a caring and upbeat personality and so she always found herself wanting to take care of others before herself. If the girls were happy and cared for then they wouldn’t notice how hard she was working herself, right? They wouldn’t notice the late-night practices by herself and her lack of sleep if she made sure they were happy. She had barely eaten and had almost injured herself due to how much time she was spending on practicing. Even when she wasn’t in a practice room, she was running it through in her head. She would go over the choreography and her vocals. She would plan exactly what she was going to do and repeat it a million times in her head. Even her dreams were full of her practicing and rehearsing. There was a lot of pressure on her to pass this evaluation – she couldn’t afford to mess up.

Waiting for their turn was torture on her and Yoona could feel her anxiety worsen with every passing minute. She suddenly thought about all the things that could go wrong. What if she missed a step? What if she sang the wrong line? She gripped her pants tightly as she gnawed on her lower lip. She was barely sitting on the seat and it looked like she could fall off at any moment, but she was too distracted with her thoughts to notice.

When it was finally their turn, Yoona took in a few deep breaths before she made her way before the staff. The girls had rehearsed this hundreds of times. All she needed to do was remember her lyrics and the choreography and she would be fine. Once the girls were in their beginning poses the music began. It was too late to turn back now.

The choreography began with the girls moving around in a circle, with Yongsun starting in the centre, then Chungha, then Yoona. Yoona had volunteered to be the one to do a sexy move since she wanted to push herself out of her girly image and try something different. She didn’t have time to wonder how it had looked since she was the first to sing. She only had two lines at first, but she didn’t mind since they all shared the chorus and she had more lines later in the song.

Why are you staring at me? Why? Am I that pretty?

I’m so hot  I’m so fine  I’m so cool, I’m so gorgeous

While Chungha and Hyojeong rapped Yoona happily danced along to the choreography. She was still in awe at how they were able to rap. It was a distant dream to Yoona. She wasn’t even sure if she would sound any good rapping. After the girls had slain the rap, it was Yoona’s turn to sing again.

Mum why did you give birth to me like this? My life is so tiresome

I’m so hot I’m so fine I’m so cool, I’m so gorgeous

I’m so hot I’m so fine, I’m so attractive I’m so cool I’m so so so hot hot

Their performance was officially over and so was Yoona’s first trainee evaluation. Yoona had forgotten her worries while they were performing, and she owed it to the girls and how comfortable she had become around them. Yoona hoped that they stayed friends even after today. Considering two were also Nova trainees she knew she would see them around, but she wouldn’t get to see Chungha as much which saddened her. Yoona hoped that she had done enough to survive as well as to showcase how talented her groupmates were.

@rkyngsun

this was her calling; a sign. she knew it. after joining nova, the other trainees were sent to perform at the end of the month. these evaluations were known in the industry, and it was interesting hearing the stories of how many had frozen to death in the hours they were made to perform in bad weather. it made nakyung wonder what they had in store for her once she could join those events.

ever since she was born, the girl was praised for her beauty. during the mgas, she was criticized for being too pretty. now, her very first evaluation is all about looking good on camera. nakyung takes the bottle of water lightly, and then slowly turns around. her hair falls softly over her shoulder and she shows a gentle smile to complement. in her head the song had already started to play before she starts to sing it herself. “라라라라라라라... 날 좋아 한다고…”

her eyes blink as a calculated move before nakyung returns to her usual movements. “see?” yongsun is the one in front of her, not some type of camera. “you can transform anything into a successful cf.” the girl says it with confidence as if she’s any bit experienced on the job. that experience is simply limited to recreating famous cfs with her friends and singing along to sad tunes while staring out windows. “now it’s your turn.”

@rkyngsun

there was a lot going on lately, and since he was finally involved in a kt project himself, he was a lot slower with hearing about the latest news and keep himself updated. there was a lot going on lately, and even more going on his mind. he still couldn’t quite grasp the idea of being closer to debut than ever, couldn’t quite trust in things finally falling into place, when the fear of rejections was as vivid as ever. not getting his hopes up too much (especially now that he had been named as one of the weaker trainees) was just a simple way to protect himself from getting crushed underneath expectations that couldn’t be met any time soon.

knowing there was someone else who had been rejected by their own company before, gray had been a little worried about his neighbour who he couldn’t see as often as he liked to due to the long special training sessions. nowadays he felt a lot more anxious about stepping on someone else’s toes, just because he was lucky enough to be assigned to a experimental group which was why he tried to keep his distance regarding certain things. he had seen how down yongsun had been, when she wasn’t selected into the final line up of the nova girlgroup, but now was a new opportunity at the horizon and gray couldn’t help but feel curious about her decsion if she would try or not.

so he decided to send her a quick message, asking if it was ok to come over, later after training. packing some food, he stepped out of his own apartment to knock at the female’s door, after he had taken a refreshing shower. as she opened the door, he lifted the food and grinned at her. “let’s hang out, yongsun? it’s been a while since we’ve been able to chat.”

now playing ... the greatest show by panic! at the disco

minus evaluations, yoojung wasn’t able to work much with anyone who she wasn’t in the same company as much. those that she did work with, she typically knew pretty well– but yongsun was an exception. while the two had been on the mgas together and interacted a bit, she wouldn’t have considered herself close to the elder, especially since then. maybe at the time, but they were both in tough companies that didn’t exactly allow much outer-company interaction. but yoojung’s youtube channel and choreographing had offered her more interactions with people outside of her own circle.

hence, she and yongun being in the studio together dancing their hearts out.

while she knew the elder hadn’t been the best dancer before being signed, it was obvious that nova had changed that. even watching the elder in the mirror, yoojung could tell that the other had been trained well– to yoojung, it seemed that all nova dancers had a certain style that came about from their trainers. perhaps it was a particular one that simply enjoyed teaching that way, but it was seen in each and every person that came out of nova. it made sense, after all– they were well known for their dancers.

even as the music built up behind them, drums beating hard causing a vibration in the floor which shook through their feet as they moved across the wooden floors, yoojung was excited to see yongsun be able to keep up. she learned well, and worked hard– it was no wonder nova wanted her. the two dancing side-by-side, yoojung wouldn’t have imagined the other wasn’t the best when it came to the competition only a year ago.

the last words of the song echo through the dance studio, both yoojung and yongsun holding their final poses, and yoojung can’t help the smile that makes its way across her lips. “ you’ve improved, yongsun-ssi. ” yoojung says, dropping her arms and moving to grab her water bottle. “ nova’s got a lot of talent on their hands ... i wonder what they’re thinking of doing next ... ” she wonders, still a little stung that she didn’t manage to get into the company. however, she made her home at royal and wouldn’t trade that for the world. “ regardless, it’ll be a great show, no matter where you end up. ” she says with a smile. “ do you want to run through the choreography one last time, then we’ll call it a night ? ” she asks, raising a brow at the elder as she takes a sip from her water bottle.

@rkyngsun - ♫  April - Hey Yo Hey

Why are you looking at me like that?It’s too much, look somewhere elseI don’t like it when you’re nice to me out of nowhereIt’s a waste of timeOf course it might be just light curiosity (but still)Your changed actions are weird, it’s awkward, it’s uncomfortable

School AU

It’s super weird.

That was Seulgi’s thought on this guy suddenly showing up when she and Yongsun were about to walk home from school.  He was one of their classmates, but he was always a jerk to everyone.  He made fun of the two of them, threw paper airplanes when the teacher was talking, he was just overall a nuisance.  He was cocky and sure, some girls liked that, but every time that Yongsun and Seulgi ever talked about him, the consensus was always that he was gross and not worth their time.

But now, on their usual walk home from school, he stopped them from leaving and pulled the backpack right off of Yongsun’s back, rushing out of the school with it.  The two girls gave chase, only to find him waiting by the front gate for them, refusing to give the bag back and insisting on carrying it “like a gentleman” he said, with that annoying smirk.  Seulgi wanted to punch him. When they got to Yongsun’s house, he gave the bag back to her and just said “see you tomorrow” leaving the two girls to wonder what just happened. 

The next day, he didn’t even wait for her to put her bag on, he stole it from her and yet again waited by the gate.  He yet again refused to and it over until they got to Yongsun’s home.  This happened again, several times over the next couple of weeks or so. It was weird and it made Seulgi feel a little uneasy. 

Seulgi began to notice changes though.  The teasing eventually started waning, as did his acting up in class.  Then it hit Seulgi like a ton of bricks on a Friday afternoon.  He didn’t take the bag this time.  Yongsun gave it to him willingly.  There were shy smiles between them, Seulgi left being a quiet observer on the way. She knew those looks, she knew where this story was going. 

It was still super weird.

        don't look at him.  he was no older than five when his mother yanked him to the side closest to the street.  to anyone he recounted this story to, her actions were surely strange, if not incredibly foolish;  but for those who were present at the time, they would understand.  he was no older than five when his mother pressed his head against her hip and tightened her hold on her handbag.  don't look at him,  she hissed once more, as if he didn't hear her the first time.  he did, and yet he still turned his head to look  ( childish curiosity, really ).

        there, on her right side, the side farthest away from the street, sat a man with tattered clothes and a grimy face.  he met kun's eyes with this look that, at the time, kun didn't recognize but just knew it was not happy.

        that was the first incident, but it was far from the last.  sometimes too much empathy is bad.  these were his grandmother's words.  when they're happy and you're happy, that's good.  but when they're sad, and you're also sad, then how can you help each other?

        in many ways, he wants to say, now that he's grown and experienced a lot more than what meets the eye.  he feels a bit bad for doubting his grandmother and for, all things considered, disobeying his mother.  but there are things that feel right.  and being there, even if it's just a physical presence, is something that has always felt right.

        and so, that's how he decides.

        he's on his afternoon coffee run, and it's supposed to be just that:  an afternoon coffee run.  what he doesn't consider is running into yongsun.  or well, he doesn't run into her, per se.  but he sees her sitting by herself as he makes his way to the counter.  it's a spur of a moment decision:  "two coffees, iced."  his brow crinkles slightly.  "milk and sugar in one of them, please."  then, with two plastic cups in hand, he makes his way over to her table, tentative, almost timidly.

        "mind if i sit?"  he sets the two ice coffees down, and it's only then that he realizes that she might take his offer the wrong way.  "i'm new,"  he blurts before he can even think.  "to - to the company.  your company."  he's itching to say nova but bites his tongue, just in case.

the two of them are their grandfather’s pride.  they each represent the lefts and rights of opportunities and victories.  head to head, they compete for the title of the most successful.  unfortunately, they’re both still human, and humans hurt.

they’ve been close friends since they were kids, and through all this time, taeyang was his anchor, his voice of reason.  he eventually became the one suwoong sought when he needed someone to understand.

⭐️ — danger.

@rkyngsun

it’s humiliating, to say the least, waking up in the morning and having to put on a bright red vest that singles her out from everyone else, that screams inadequacy, that tells anyone who lays eyes on her that she’s not good enough and that she already has one foot in the grave called elimination. 

sitting side-by-side with yongsun, both of their vests glaringly obvious to the cameras in the room recording their exchange, meiqi has to admit that it’s terribly difficult to put all of her focus towards the line distribution of week one’s song when her thoughts are running a mile a minute. hyun bin’s words keep ringing in her mind, so much so that meiqi has to knock a fist against her forehead to stop thinking about it and get back to working with yongsun. they have to be perfect this month; she can’t half-ass this.

“sorry, i zoned out for a second,” she laughs dryly before continuing. “are you sure we should give me that many parts? hyun bin said my singing isn’t that good so maybe you should take one more part of mine...”

growing up

@rkyngsun

dated week three

it’s the final month. somehow he’s gotten this far, and he’s not about to let himself slip. as tiring as the survival is, haknyeon can almost see the finish line. they haven’t been allowed to actually properly go out these last few months, and haknyeon doesn’t exactly feel the need to. especially not when they’ve got something to show and work on almost everyday.

he walks through the hallways, trying to find an empty practice room when he accidentally walks in on one that’s already taken. he spots yongsun there dancing and he watches silently as she does so until it’s over. when she’s done, he finally claps his hands, eyes bright and smile wide.

“noona!” he beams, “that was great!” he walks over to her and his words are sincere. he’s watched her since the mgas and now she’s gotten this far as well; it has him feeling slightly warm.
