bae jinyoung s-pop after mom is asleep recording with nsg u / @rkxrm, @rkxkjd, @rkjohnny, @taeminrk, @rkxhyunjin, @aronrk​
Tumblr media
the first thing jordan did when he saw the members arrive on set was congratulate them on their recent debut
it just seemed like the right thing to do. he couldn’t imagine it would have been easy having to debut date set the the teasers all coming out and then the whole thing suddenly being put on hold for another couple of months. he supposed it must just be a relief to all of them now that they finally could say they were debuted and now it was just all about getting the exposure the company wanted, which was why he supposed they were here right now. and jordan was not going to disappoint and was going to make sure this was an entertaining episode for them and one he was sure the fans would enjoy as well. 
“i really enjoyed the song,” he made sure to add, smiling at the guys as he greeted them, “it was an instant add on to my playlist i have to admit.” it was not the natural sort of sound you heard from the industry and that was something he liked about it. sometimes the typical sounding song could get incredibly boring, so it was nice to have something fresh and new. he just hoped that kt stuck with that and didn’t just go back to making songs which sounded the same as everything else.
“but don’t worry too much about today,” he went, on trying to calm any nerves about how this might turn out, “i’m sure it’s going to be just fine. you just have to be yourselves and completely embarrass yourselves more than i already am wearing a dress, a wig and pretending to loudly snore in the background.” joking seemed to always help the mood, especially as he was sure they were nervous about things as this was probably one of the first variety performances they were filming as their debut had only been just over a week ago by the time they were filming.
one last smile as he bowed again, “but i’ll leave you to get ready. i need to get myself all nice and pretty.” and with that he turned on his heel and headed to the small dressing room in the back to get himself ready. though it only took a moment to put the wig and dress on, taking one last look at himself in the mirror provided before he was heading back towards the main filming to take his usual position on set on the rather comfortable sofa behind the guests. 
the filming went pretty smoothly and jordan was up to his usual antics of trying to make the guests laugh and adding in funny quips and loud snores, the occasional sleep talking and itching his nose as he rolled over. at the end of the day he wouldn’t say he would have done anything different and, as usual, he was always sure to thank the filming crew and rest of the staff as well. just one more recording under his belt, many many more left to go, but at least he was still having fun with it. 
as much as you could not being able to talk very much.

『 Reaching 』
⇢ outgoing to: @taeminrk
Jeongguk was conflicted. Dancing together with Johnny after official practice hours had made him aware of the struggles he was facing. Always having seen his friend as not the best dancer but a sturdy talent regardless, he wondered just how much the bar had been raised for the guys in the group. Of course in his position he felt hesitant to help his friend. The worry of getting him scolded for reaching out to a trainee not in his group kept his lips sealed and his hands tied.
He could however at least attempt to make someone aware of the situation that could help Johnny.
Taemin was perhaps the most distant of the folks he knew from the experimental group and even if it logically made sense to him, it still stung. Putting aside all of his own awkwardness and bitterness about the situation he caught his hyung in the hallway. “Hey there hyung! I know you’re busy but can I have a quick word? Won’t take long, promise,” he exclaims playfully, resting a hand on his chest while flashing him a toothy grin.

Fighting Across ||
@taeminrk 
Tension was at an all time with Minhyuk. He was so tightly wound that he could potentially break down and explode in moments. There were many reasons as to why Minhyuk was so tightly wound. He had just come off a holiday week with his parents and his extended family and all of their professional friends . God how he hated being reminded of what an absolute mess that he was. Your rapping career will go nowhere, your looks will fade, why aren’t you using your good looks, you should be more kind to people... .blah blah blah the same bullshit that he heard weekly. He was so annoyed that his annoyed mood carried over into the new year and going back to practice was irritating. All he wanted to do was just to flop down and not do anything and just happily drink his coffees. 
But oh, god bless his luck or maybe a curse from satan, he was herded into a room with a few others on the first day of the month and was told that they were going to be an experimental group. Here at this moment, his annoyance turned to irritation and mild frustration. They were sent off back to practice and it was easy to avoid taemin for the first few days of the month, but of course, minhyuk couldn’t avoid him forever, and it all came to a crash when they were all practicing for the eval. 
minhyuk was not a dancer. that wasn’t his major talent and if he had to be honest, dancing was his weakest, but he was pretty charismatic and could command a stage but of course, his lack of talents was enough to set it off. “i don’t like this eval. dancing is hard and i’m not having a good time.” he said, sighing. He had been over the choreo for the past several hours and he was making mistakes, but this was frustrating. He would have preferred a vocal group or even a more vocal song. he wanted to rap, he didn’t want to dance.

「 guilt & worry 」
Tumblr media
it was done. he had signed the papers, there was no going back-- when he had first gotten the offer he wasn't entirely sure what to do. it was like his entire trainee period went through his mind-- especially this last month. in the end, he had accepted the offer and signed the papers. one thing he had come to realize in his time as a trainee was that this was the goal of every trainee, yet he hadn't really put any serious thought into it... not until the month of january.
jaehyun had wondered if he had made the right choice-- he knew he couldn't go back and change things, he had already signed the papers. sphere had given him a chance-- kt hadn't, that was his conclusion. 
he made sure to get all the things that he had laying around, then he left the kt building-- as quietly as he could. he went to the cafe that was across the street and sat there for a little, ordering an americano. he looked at the kt building-- the brunet wasn't one to get sentimental about things but something about this situation felt incredibly bittersweet.
in kt unexpected things had happened, there were people that he had gotten close to, it wasn't something he expected but he welcomed it.
despite that, the month of january had brought on many different thoughts for him, two of the biggest and recurring thoughts were jiwon's ( @rkjiwvn​ ) leave and also being excluded from the other hyungs. it was a wake up call for him, jiwon couldn't always be there ( even if he wanted her to be ), and the hyungs that had been in kt for years already-- was he really good enough to take a spot from any of them? no, he had wished to be able to catch up to them-- that was his initial desire-- a part of him still wanted to do just that.
instead, jaehyun had accepted the offer from sphere, to join convex as a lead singer. he couldn't share it with anyone, no one to celebrate with. even if he could-- would the others celebrate it with him? he was now... debuting before them.
while sitting there at the cafe he brought up his phone, to send a couple of text messages. the first message he sent was to taemin ( @taeminrk​ ), how would he explain that he wouldn't be in kt anymore? would the older blame himself? jaehyun hoped not-- would taemin hate him when the news comes out? jaehyun shook his head, it wasn't something he wanted to think about. he finished typing up the rest of the texts, it wasn't many-- he didn't have all the phone numbers saved but it was enough.
jaehyun had gotten an offer to debut-- this way, he wouldn't take any of the spots that were held by the older trainees if by chance he had gotten a chance to be picked to debut in kt. this way, the older trainees would get the chance to debut together and they would stand on stage together-- this way.... he would be able to stand on the same stage as them in the future.
there was a wave of anxiety that came over him regardless-- what if no one in convex wanted him there? what would he do? he would have to prevail regardless.
while sitting there he thought about nayeon ( @rkiny​ ) what would she say when she learns, the beach had been his idea-- he hadn't been able to share anything with her, none of these thoughts. then sphere had come in today. he couldn't and wouldn't tell her.
while looking at the kt building realization starts to hit him, he is going to a new place, a new company-- a new team, for a moment he thinks about who he knows in sphere but not one face pops up. then he remembered when he first went to kt, he didn't know anyone then either.. only jiwon but he had managed to get close to some of the other trainees regardless. this would be a fresh start for him.
sitting there he wondered, would anyone know him? sure he had been a public figure-- in the newspaper multiple times in the past for his career in sports and his accomplishments but that was over a year ago and now, he was basically a no one. not for long-- he'd join an already debuted team, that had popularity and he would again be in the eye of the public.
before the anxiety and the thoughts overcame him, jaehyun finished his coffee and sent the last text. regardless of everything, he was filled with determination.

// approach
@taeminrk
it was both an attempt to approach taemin and work on improving their rather distant and unfamiliar relationship and to strengthen his dance skill he ought to tend to if he wanted to avoid being targeted by the coach next month. after being called out as just barely better in terms of dancing than minhyuk, he already saw himself up there, being dragged just like his friend. gray knew for sure he wasn't a dancer, it had been a while since he had gone astray from that path. it had been a whole ride from winning a break dance competition, to prefer making music to dance to instead. and as he was well aware of his flaws, he seeked out support from the guy who was without doubt kt's best dancer, representative for everything their company was supposed to stand for.
of course there was no easy way that would keep him safe from the coaches sharp words, there were still plenty weaknesses he could be shredded to pieces for, but as he had promised himself to give it his best, until every decision by the company was made, he had to push forward.
after locating the room, taemin was practicing at, he silently entered and settled down at the side, waiting for the other to notice him. sure, this month they were separated into two smaller groups and while he was happy with his group, the words from the beginning, to test their chemistry, were still as vivid as ever. he wanted to try, try getting closer to the sunbae he had tried to approach for the longest time, try to tie a bond to the male who he could already see as their leader if debut would ever become reality to him. when the younger male noticed him, he gave him a short smile, before heading straight to the main topic he wanted to talk with him about: "hey taemin, do you think we could practice dancing together? i would like to learn from you."

@taeminrk  - ♫ - PassCode - Atlas
I walk on to show my demand, it’s trueI’m walking my way, days renewI wish to never think, why you always winI’m so proud of youI know you’ll make it brand new
Walk, pain is a point of viewI want the sky forever, tooI wish to tell within, you’ll get going soonWhy’s your frown instilled in you?I’ll try my take, and show my truth
AU - Superhero / Villain   TW: Superhero Violence/Blood
Seoul was in chaos mode on the streets below, the villain uprising had taken the city by storm, the sheer force of all of Seoul’s supervillains and common criminals joining forces was hard for what heroes and police force there was to combat it.  No one could have seen this coming when people started obtaining powers over the past few years that there would be this much destruction and pain in everyone's future. 
Sirens ring out in the air, a lot of the city is on fire and a lightning storm rages in the sky.  Two silhouettes on a rooftop are outlined as the crash of lightning strikes through the rain, a fight raging, ironically in the place the two individuals first met.  The fight would swing the balance of power one way or the other for the forces of good or evil.  KT Entertainment was their battleground.
“I should have known they’d send you,” Haseul sighed, wiping a small bit of blood from the corner of her mouth as she pulled herself to her feet after being thrown through what was the remains of Katie Lee’s most recent purchase, an escape helicopter. 
“They had no choice, Haseul.  They knew I was the only one that could stop you.”
“It’s starting all over the world, you know there’s only one way to do it, don’t you?” Haseul said, walking towards him, snapping off one of the helicopter blades to use as a weapon, swinging it at him with a wild swing, one that was full of anger, full of desperation.  “I’m so close to it, Taemin.  I’m so close to making this world better.  Once those that are in charge of it are no longer in charge, everything will be better, why can’t you all see th-” 
She was cut off as Taemin flew at an intense speed, his shoulder connecting into her midsection, flying them both up in the air, her makeshift weapon planting itself into the rooftop as he continued to fly higher.  “You know I can’t let you do that, I can’t let you all do that,” he said, his voice full of remorse.  He knows after everything that she had lost, just how mad at the world Haseul had become, how she was willing to do anything she could to see it burn to the ground.
“This is my reality.  I have no choice.  If I die, I’ll become a martyr, they’ll continue my work without me.  We will survive and succeed.  You know what you have to do.  Only you have the power.”
“Why’d it have to be like this?”  Taemin asked, they were high above the sky now.  “Remember when it was so much simpler?  When we were training here?  Where did we go wrong?”
“Then re-do it.  If anyone can do it, it’s you.  It’s fate, isn’t it?  Reality Warping.  You can make it happen. You’ll make it brand new and stop this from ever happening.  I’ll never exist and start this whole thing. Do it.”  She was no longer the shy wallflower Taemin had known all those years ago. Her voice was full of authority and confidence.  She had him trapped in the ultimatum.  Let her and her forces destroy the world, or he could remake the world, before everything went bad, correcting the course.
“I’ll see you on the other side, Haseul.” 
“I’ve always been proud of you.”
And with a flash, the world went dark for a moment, for a moment, everything ceased to be. Another flash and everything was serene, the chaos outside was gone and the KT building was full of hopeful people, trying to live their dreams.  Inside one studio was a guy and a girl, both a bit younger than they had been a few moments before, talking about how people would come and go from their lives. 
Haseul looks over at the older male, she knew he had been sad about the fact that people kept leaving the company, but he was crying now, but he was also smiling.  She swore she heard him say “I did it... I really did it...” under his breath, but she had no idea what that meant, so she didn’t question it.  He was looking at her kind of weirdly though,  “What is it?”
“It’s nothing, I’m just...  I’m glad you’re back.”  He laughed fondly and reached out to ruffle the smaller’s hair.
“Back? I didn’t go anywhere, you’re being weird,” she laughs a little bit, and he can’t remember the last time he saw her so carefree.  Maybe this reality will work better, but only time will tell.

♡ ₊˚ midnight collision.
❪ w. @taeminrk​ ❫
     despite how hard she tried, knowing just how easy it was for her to put herself in others ways without even realizing it, it’s all too often that nayeon finds herself colliding with random bodies as she tries going about her business— with her eyes downcast, hands rummaging around in her purse for her phone, she barely has any real sense of direction as she makes her way through the company halls.
     it’s late, a long day worth of training weighing down on her shoulders, and all she can think about it making it home, showering, and falling into the warm comfort of her bed. maybe that’s why, as she rounds a corner, mind in the clouds, she doesn’t notice him in the slightest. she collides with him, the strap of her purse sliding down her shoulder as she almost drops the object.
     with a surprise squick, she looks up to see who the other was, and just as quickly as her eyes had gone wide, the turn to crescents as she laughs with embarrassment. “ah, i’m sorry!”

↠ * kt rookies ,                                          ♥«´¨`•°.. » SEARCHING_FOR_L?VE ! »                   ¸.•* what is love? filming `*•.
to say that she’s excited is an understatement. after the first few times filming for kt rookies, she wasn’t really sure if she’d get another opportunity again for a while, but despite being content with what she’d gotten so far, another opportunity comes around and she couldn’t be more grateful or excited.
but it hadn’t been easy.
choreography has always been an achilles heel of sorts when it comes to her dancing. she’s given it dozens of tries over her career as a dancer, but she’s never been satisfied with what she’s put it. it took the entirety of the time they’d been given to prepare for her to come up with something, but she’d done it, thanks in large part to having taemin help her out.
but even with as proud as she is of what she’s created for the first time in her entire life, as soon as she stands in front of the cameras, she’s nervous, once again second guessing herself. is it really good enough to show to the public? it could be better, couldn’t it? but as the camera’s red light blinks, indicating that it’s recording, she knows she doesn’t have any time left to doubt herself. she just has to give it her all with what she’s got.
(and she’s got a lot---she just has to keep reminding herself of that.)
time seems to pass by in a whirlwind, as if she’s jumped through it like some sort of superhuman with the ability to travel through a quantum realm, and before she knows it, this particular scene is over, and she’s left with her thoughts as the crew move on to the next scene. she closes her eyes and inhales deeply, slowly opening her eyes as she exhales. she takes everything in---the set, the staff, her fellow trainees, all of it---and burns it into her memory. who knows when the next opportunity will come?

slow down.
@taeminrk​
he’s stretching on his own, a break having been called and despite wanting to nail the dance on the head, he knows he can’t push it or everyone right now. it’s still early in the month--though hyunjoon can’t help but feel nervous as this is his first evaluation that’s a group one. previously he’d only had to worry about himself and how he was going to do which made it a touch less stressful ( ignoring that it was also his first evaluation ) and the last two months hadn’t been performance based. 
so he’s feeling the pressure this time. 
not that group performances are foreign to him having been in a busking team for two years. two of the people in his group were also ones he busked with which helps comfort him a bit too. but then... his mind brings up the image of another person in his group who adds even more pressure onto hyunjoons shoulders to do well.
he slumps forward onto his legs after having pulled them in criss-cross, head hitting the floor thanks to his flexibility and years of stretching. a soft sigh leaving the teen because he still couldn’t believe he’s working with the lee taemin for this evaluation. said older trainee was also the psuedo leader of their group and he was already doing good--it’s amazing getting to learn from him like this even if it makes hyunjoon feel tense. striving to do well to impress or make taemin proud. he scrunches up his nose as he suddenly pushes to stand and moves a bit off to the side. despite having been told to take a break, he wants to keep working. 
he raises his arm to wipe sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then rotates his shoulder a few times--expertly hiding the wince of pain--before getting into position. he counts under his breath, going slowly through the parts they’d been practicing previously. one of the moves just not clicking with him yet and as his stubborn streak holds true--he can’t stop till he has it.

misery and company.
@taeminrk
he stares at his phone. there’s messages on there, unopened, yet to be responded to. he’ll only risk a look at them when he’s alone, when he can tuck himself into his bedroom (hopefully with a moment to spare away from the boys he shares it with), when he can read the words and reply without feeling like he needs to censor every little part of himself. no smiling down at his screen, no quick answers every time it buzzes. he feels suffocated and utterly alone all at once.
my name’s not jino, he wants to shout at the staff. leave me alone, give me some space, at the boys he now rooms with. he thought he could do this, that he wanted it, but it’s becoming all too clear that maybe he was wrong. he was always the odd one out at kt entertainment. it was a mistake to extend that contract.
its the end of another long day of practice. their debut is looming closer and yet sungho can find no apprehension or excitement in himself. he sighs as he eases himself across his mattress, gentle for the aches and pains in his muscles. he’s older now, he can’t push himself as hard without feeling the consequences for days later. too old for this, a quiet voice in his head tells him, a voice he’s starting to agree with more and more.
taemin’s in here too, he suddenly realizes. sungho drags his eyes away from where they had gone unfocused on nothing and looks over to the other human person instead. taemin’s the only person he’s doing this for, he realizes. if taemin hadn’t been in kt, hadn’t been in this group, hadn’t put so much time and effort into sungho as a person, he wouldn’t be laying here, miserable beyond belief. he could resent him for it, if he wanted to. but he doesn’t.
“they shouldn’t have picked me,” is all he says to the other man, voice hollow and a little distant, quiet enough for one person’s ears only. he’s tired, he’s not quite thinking his best, but he means it. “i’m not even excited anymore.”

my eyes, my breath, my heart want you  —
                                                                                         #rkfeb19eval — no air by THE BOYZ                                                                            february 28th, 2019: MONTHLY EVALUATION                                                                                                                                  ( 0:04-4:07 )
the evaluation seemed easy enough — probably to slow things down after the entire jeju trip and stress package. he was wrong, of course, but he didn’t know it.
making performances in smaller groups meant he’d naturally get more lines in it. minseok always made sure to state he didn’t mind for those as his focus was always towards dancing. plus, he’d much rather let those who were better singers to sing than sacrifice lines for someone who didn’t mind only having a few.
still, the results of their line distribution were way more than he had expected. it gives him an itch on the back of his neck, but nothing that’d make him actually speak up about it. some, while not exactly hard, felt a bit too much for him. if you put the lyrics and the choreography side to side, it just looked like a hard time deciding what to dedicate yourself to. the few days less in february suddenly felt like a year lost in his books. the near week it took for the evaluation to be announced only serve to heighten his worries.
what keeps him on his feet is the fact they’re allowed a backup track. that means he could focus on a good overall performance rather than wondering if his voice would crack at any given instance.
the fact he’s the first to sing doesn’t really bother him. it helps get the nerves settled right at the start, and then deal with them as the song progresses. they are easy and clean, and soon enough minseok can focus on his dancing. 
as a result of a near-month of practice, the song goes by faster than it normally is. the chorus is hanging right above their heads, and, suddenly, the music stops. minseok doesn’t really notice it at first, continuing to dance until the ok sign is in front of his eye. the boy looks around at his group, but only moving his eyes, too afraid to mess something up. his movements are a bit smaller in case they decide to stop, but it’s soon noticeable that isn’t the plan. he’s glad it didn’t stop on his lines, though.
and he automatically regrets saying that. the silence in the room gives away that someone isn’t singing their lines, and minseok’s heart aches at the sight of sunwoo. it wasn’t his fault. no one was meant to be prepared for that situation — especially not a group solely formed for one performance only.
it only serves to leave a cloud hanging above his head. it doesn’t slow him down or worsen his skills, but it’s most certainly an annoying ghost about the possibility of messing things up. the one thing that gave him comfort was the background track and they had taken it from him.
no matter how long the song, minseok’s biggest worry is toward the verse right after the chorus. more specifically, a single ad-lib in the form of ‘oh yeah yeah’. he couldn’t take too many risks. he knew that his voice was bare for anyone to see, and the last thing he’d want to attempt was reach a note he knew he couldn’t hit and then make the performance even worse on his group’s shoulder. so he tones it down, basically saying the words instead of singing them. the boy still attempts to put some intonation on it not to make it too out of place. what matters to him the most is getting out of the center position and letting someone else impress with their own skills.
the rest is pretty easy. he knows the dance, and his lines are either the hook or the bit during the bridge. it’s easy to say no one left the room quite like they had entered it and minseok would be needing to do some rethinking down his priority list.
