and i thank you / yubin & dahye
she tried not to stare to hard at the other girl but she wanted to be sure before she walked over. if the other had no idea what she was talking about, yubin wouldn’t be able to live it down. but the other’s face was the one she had been remembering. it wasn’t much she could remember from that night she passed out. she did remember someone getting her to her mother, she was sure the other called the woman. that was it and her for lack of a better word, saviors face.
then she had been caught staring and yubin had no choice but to finally take a step closer to and talk to the other. “i don’t know if you remember me, ah you helped me when i got sick a few nights ago…i think. i don’t remember much but i’m pretty sure it was you. i just wanted to thank you and say i’m a little surprised to see that you’re a trainee too. it’s a small world huh?” she wondered if the other would remember her, well she hopped she did.
Of all things Dahye expected in her life, she didn’t count of the good deeds of her past staring down at her when she got to Seocho. Well for starters she was right in recognizing the other when they were passed out on a bench. They weren’t in the same company but they were both trainees. It just concluded that Dahye didn’t know everyone like she thought.
“Hella small world.” she smiled, moving back and forth on the balls of her feet. Dahye remembered that evening and the slight mayhem after the other passed the fuck out. Ended with her looking for the other’s cellphone to see if she could get a hold of one of her relatives. After that she just went home once the other got picked up. She was worried at first but seeing her in the flesh it was a relief. “Hey I remember you no worries. It was no problem really, though I’m just as shocked to be honest. What company are you from?”
bubble festivities!
It was strange to come to a bubble festival, or any festival for that matter by herself. The last one she went to at all was the chocolate one with... wait no. She can’t think about the past like that, about people she is trying hard to get over. Dwelling on it and that she is alone will only make things worse.
She always went to the festivals in Tokyo but it’s only been the last year that has gotten her to go to festivals here in Seoul. It was never her thing in high school but then Dahye no longer has an image to uphold. Maybe she’ll actually go out into the world rather than be a total night owl that hops from club to club.
Dahye wants to take this time and enjoy the bit a freedom from a hectic schedule. There will be a certain future where she won’t be able to enjoy time like this if she actually debuts. It was her first time at such a festival. There were bubbles everywhere, ball pits, delicious food and bubble tea while she happens to be on her third one of the evening.
While she wasn’t going to take part in all the fun activities, though she was holding herself back from face-painting, she had a bubble wand in hand. Every so often when she found a spot to sit and would blow all the bubbles she could. It was a little silly at first but she wasn’t the only one being a child.
Being able to enjoy time to herself was something she never thought of loving so much. The atmosphere of the festival helped so much bring a lot of negative feelings out of her aura to enjoy the day. Watching parents with their children playing in the ball pits, groups of friends taking pictures for each other, couples matching as they stuck together.
Normally Dahye would glare since those were things she has wanted but right now, everything felt content. She had her bubble tea and a little bubble wand in hand. Like a child she would try to pop them all before they would themselves. She might look silly but she feels happy and in all honesty she was excited to come back with her friends the next two days.
Maybe she’ll start going to more festivals from now on.

accident.
For the rkbubble event: {Friday, September 7th} @dahyexrk
Gunhee stared at the ball pit. It was tempting. So very tempting. The last time he had jumped in a ball pit he had probably been 7 or 8 years old, so he hardly remembered what it was like. But this ball pit was huge, and it looked like people of all ages were bouncing, climbing, and even swimming through the sea of plastic, having a grand time.
“Oh, whatever. Nobody’s watching me. A little fun never hurt anybody, right?” He mumbled to himself as he pulled himself up over the side and set one foot in the ball pit.
He stepped in with his full body, looked around to make sure nobody was watching, and dove into the piles of balls. It went deep! If Gunhee stood up, he’d be up to his waist in the toys. He found himself laughing with joy for the first time in a while. As he laughed, he took at few steps backwards and…
Bonk. He backed right into a slim young woman with dark brown hair. Shocked, Gunhee’s eyes grew wide.
“I am so, so sorry. I shouldn’t even really be in here right, this is for the kids, right? Oh my gosh. I didn’t hit you too hard did I? Are you alright?”
The Bubble Festival was going on all weekend and Dahye ended up making plans for each day. This particular day was going with a high school friend who wanted to take her son. If anything she was just an extra pair of eyes and another sucker to spoil her ‘nephew’.
Though in the process of how the day was going she didn’t think that the so called mother would disappear and Dahye was now playing hide and seek with six year old. She wasn’t going to lose him since it was easy to spot a brown head of hair but it was her surrounding that caught her by surprise.
Being waist deep in a ball pit of all things.
But she was being extra careful not to lose her footing or well the balls will eat her. Sadly while looking for her friend’s clone there was a bump from behind that she was not prepared for. Dahye ended up falling deeper into the pit and struggling to stand back up right.
“Ah shit.” Mumbling under her breath as she practically swimming through the ball pin trying to get to the edge. Hearing a panic voice behind here was only assumed that it was the guy of accidentally bumped into her.
She was annoyed it wasn’t like anyone got hurt, but embarrassed, “I’m fine...,” she said with a huff as she pulls herself up when reaching the edge, “Kinda impossible to get out of. I don’t how kids like this stuff.”
luxe performance.
@rktshx
It was a rare moment for her and Toshi to be hanging out in the daytime or at least before 8pm. Not to mention they were sober. They had decided to meet up at the expense of Dahye being a horrible trainee and not listening to her labelmate’s comeback. She was excited to see them debut but it just wasn’t a priority to get so involved like everyone else at Royal. The least she could do is actually see a performance of theirs and show support.
Though she would of liked to have done without her best friend. Dahye loves him to death but he is only lovable in small doses. Her birthday was less than a week ago following more night out with the weather cooling down meant more Toshi.
A menace from hell. “I’m excited to finally see LUXE in action, though I didn’t expect you to want to come with me.” Side-eyeing him as they stood in a crowd with Dahye sipping on a taro bubble tea,

new chica.
yoojung had thought she had met just about everyone – after all, everyone at royal seemed very eager to get to know the trainees as soon as possible. or, at least make themselves known to the trainees for one reason or another. so, after her vocal lessons ( which already she learned to dread, realizing fairly quickly she knew nothing about vocal technique, and that it would actually help her rap if she would just get over the comments made before – but who knew when that would happen ) isn’t exactly expecting someone to approach her. however, she realizes quickly that she had definitely seen the girl before, but she had never really thought to ask her name – after all, at this point, yoojung almost expected people to approach her first. of course this was that situation, but she hadn’t really realized that she certainly didn’t know everyone yet.
“ ah, yes, that’s me. ” she replied, rather lamely, quite honestly. she allowed herself to smile back at the other, bowing slightly purely out of habit. “ i’m starting to get that vibe from this place, so i’m excited. ” she chuckled – after all, everyone she had met so far was kind, and that was the sort of place yoojung needed. while royal wasn’t her first choice, it certainly wasn’t her last – although she was starting to wonder why it had never been higher up in her rankings. “ i’m glad to be here, really. i was so shocked a got a contract, especially with royal, of all the companies. ” yoojung chuckled. “ but i’m definitely not complaining. i think … i think i’m very excited to see what i can do here, you know ? ” yoojung shrugged slightly.
“ well, it’s nice to meet you, dahye-sunbaenim. ” yoojung responded, not being able keep herself from bowing politely again. “ and thank you. and, i’ve definitely noticed – i mean, i was even the only girl royal took from the mgas. i don’t know if they’re just very selective, or i just got lucky. ” she chuckled. while yoojung realized royal probably wasn’t intending to bring many more girls in after just debuting a group, but that didn’t keep her from wondering why she was the only one. there were plenty of other talented girls on the show, not to mention vocalists – yoojung wasn’t really special in royal. but that didn’t mean she wasn’t still curious as to what would happen in her time there. “ any tips for the newbie trainee ? ” yoojung asked with a giggle. “ anything i should know to definitely do – or not do, for that matter. ”
“I remember when I was signed last year I felt the same. Only difference was I’m barely making friends now. But I’m glad boss picked you!” Dahye remembers her from the survival show and she can see the talent, all was left is some hardcore fine tuning like everyone else.
In honesty, Dahye has no clue in any future plans for the girls but for now it was all going to a a surprise. Advice however had her thinking for a moment, trying to remember her first few months, “Advice you say... Well for one think don’t slack off. You can miss a day here and there without getting yelled at but don’t make it a habit. Try to take what the coaches say as tough love.”
That was probably one of the many few things she learned was that the coaches here aren’t trying to be mean but to push you and when they see the results the work isn’t in vain. There have been a few times where their words have gone too far but so far she hasn’t seen anyone cry from them. At least to her knowledge.
“Everyone here is pretty nice! I guess just try not to get into trouble since the last few weeks there have been stories of trainees from the other companies getting into deep shit. When we train at Seocho you will hear all the gossip.” Patting the younger’s shoulder.
When she caught wind of past punishments and drama Dahye knew she had to control her attitude or else hell would be paid.

suhork:
he could feel her lean in for more when he started to pull back and a brief wave of panic goes through him. he hopes he didn’t upset her, at least not too much. he wasn’t sure if he should even kiss her! he just went with his gut instinct on it. his gut instinct was right apparently, because now he was being brought inside, a bewildered half smile forming on his lips as it dawns on him that his gift was a success and he was being rewarded by getting to spend more time with her.
he follows inside by her lead, making sure to take his shoes off once inside. “isn’t your dad home?” it occurs to him then that she lives with her father, which encountering him would be slightly terrifying at this point, since they weren’t even official yet. she had mentioned being on her own though, so maybe that meant her father was out, and he was in the clear. he was already nervous enough, he didn’t need to be worrying about her dad walking in too. “should we keep watching running man then? i’m not picky with what we do, so long as…” he trails off, becoming a little shy. “as… there are cuddles to be had.”
She led him through the front door as she took off her shoes and trotted to the open kitchen, “My dad is in Japan on a short business trip right now so it’s just me until tomorrow evening.” Dahye didn’t even think twice when she placed the cake on the counter and walked over to where June was standing. Her father’s home wasn’t much other than it had three rooms and that he owned the building. The living room and kitchen were open floor plan and Kanno loved it being able to watch her kingdom from the counters, “Sometimes I forget you are the cuter one.” His behavior was just too funny but it was nothing to be made fun of. Instead she guided him to the couch where the other occupant was resting.
“I’d like you to formally meet my cat daughter Kanno. Kanno meet June.” The feline didn’t even move from her spot, just glancing over and blinking at them before laying her head back down, “I’ma go get us some cake. Make yourself at home.” Dahye gave him another kiss on the cheek before heading back to the kitchen to serve them the cake. She already knew where things were and it felt nice that June was here. Soon enough she had two slices and was walking over to share the treats, “I’m just watching re-runs, wanna watch a movie? My dad has satellite?” Asking curiously while she sat on the couch and patted the spot next to her.

he can’t help but blush when she says she might actually wear the panties he brought her. he apparently had good taste in women’s underwear, must have been from his mother dragging him out to shop with her all the time. her reaction to the cake, however, makes his entire face light up, joy dancing in his chest as he watches her make her wish and blow the candles out. this was really working, he was giving her a memorable gift, and she looked happy. he couldn’t feel prouder if he tried.
the kiss to his cheek has him blushing hard, trying to will it away but in vain. his eyes still sparkle with adoration for her though, and after hearing her thank you, he decides to be bold and, just like in the movie, he leans over the cake and catches her lips in a soft kiss, his entire chest ready to explode with all the emotions and energy coursing through him from the action. her lips are so sweet, so soft, he wants to just drown in them, but he can’t, he knows he can’t, so he pulls back after a few moments, smiling gently at her. “i hope you wish comes true.”
Her heart felt so warm, so delighted that she kissed him and that organ leaped even more when she felt his lips on her. It caught her by surprise but she didn’t pull away, eyes fluttering closed at how soft the kiss was. Maybe she liked him more than she knew. There was a guilty side of her that didn’t want him to pull away, to keep kissing him that she even leaned in hoping he wouldn’t go just yet. To herself, a hand went to her mouth, hiding the fact she was embarrassed of her actions, in public of all places and that she was licking her lips.
“Me too.Can’t believe I’m halfway to 30.” God she felt like some high school teenager out of a manga.
The two of them were just standing in the road, neighbors were gone, and pedestrians began to mind their own business as they walked to the main roads. It was a blessing she lived in a quiet neighborhood. A few moments she thought of what to say next or what do to, they didn’t need to stay out here in the coming dark. Dahye grabbed the cake but with her other hand grabbed for his with a soft but tight grip, “Would you like to come in? I’m just kinda by myself right now watching Running Man. We can eat the cake too.” She was going to stop being so cautious and be the woman who took the chances to be happy, it was the first steps to make her wish come true.

the moment she comes outside, his heart practically jumps out of his chest from the sheer nervousness and excitement he’s feeling. he sets the boombox down on the hood of his car, lowering the volume some before he approaches her, resisting the urge to stretch his arms out since that amount of time holding it above his head made the limbs a little sore. he wanted to look ‘cool’ though, so no stretches of relief for him.
“well, if it isn’t the birthday girl.” he says with a honey-glazed smile smearing over his lips. “that, my dear, was the song ‘in your eyes’ which was blasted by a man so completely in love with his woman from outside her window in a very romantic 80s teen movie made in america. now–” he goes through his pocket, pulling out a pair of women’s underwear (fresh ones, not used ones) and he sneaks them into her pocket before lowering his mask to his chin and leaning to speak into her ear. “like jake from sixteen candles, i brought your underwear back for you. oh! also!” he moves back to his car, pulling out a cake that he (attempted to) bake himself, getting out a lighter from his pocket and lighting each candle as he walks closer to her, holding it up to present it to her. “make a wish.”
She watches him set the boombox down and of course the next thing she wants to ask is where the hell he got one (since she had been on the hunt for one) but her mouth was kept shuts, waiting for an explanation. It was like her heartbeat skipped a few time when he was explaining the song and basically the whole scene, he isn’t in love with me... right? But that thought wasn’t allowed to process when she watched him pull out underwear and stuff it in her short pockets, “Oh my god! Thanks for bringing back my undies.” She laughed out loud as she took the underwear to look at them, “I might actually wear these...” Talking to herself while folding them back into her pocket.
Dahye was hoping her neighbors wouldn’t make any fuss but then her attention was taken when she saw June lighting candles on a cake. The smile on her face couldn’t get any wider seeing the cake and now the blush on her face was bright, “You didn’t have to...” Looking at the candles, this was going to be the first time she ever made a wish on her birthday, a real one. She closed her eyes and really wanted to think about it, bouncing on the balls of her feet thinking of the perfect wish.
I wish to be happy, for my dreams to come true.
A big puff of air left her lips to blow out the candles, leaning over to June to kiss him on the cheek, “Thank you.”
party like it's 1989.
junmyeon was almost certain dahye had plans for her birthday, but that wasn’t going to stop him from trying to do something special. during the day, he knows she needs to go train, and knowing her she was probably hitting the clubs at night with some friends, so his window of opportunity was late afternoon to early evening, and that’s when he decided to show up.
junmyeon was most definitely a cheeseball at heart, and when thinking of impactful, cheesy, romantic stuff he could do, his mind went to 80s teen movies. so, he shows up, parks outside her home, and walks up, a boombox hoisted above his head, blasting ‘in your eyes’ by peter gabriel. he stands there, blasting the song, not caring if people looked at him (he took the precaution of wearing a ballcap and a face mask, in case he’d get recognized), waiting for her to come out and see him.
The night before, her, Minhee and Toshi spent all night in Hongdae until she had to go to training. Coming to Royal she was met with a little surprise party thrown by Yooa than really made her feel loved. And now she was sitting in her pajamas watching Running Man after getting off a LINE call with her friends in Japan. Her dad was currently on a business trip but he didn’t leave without buying her a Green Tea cheesecake and a phone call. It was really one of the best birthdays she has ever had, even if she still feels a little lonely.
However the rest of the night was still in decision to go out or just stay home and enjoy all the sweets. The audio from the television seemed really loud and so she lowered it, however now the she thought was coming from the T.V. was actually from outside. Dahye couldn’t make out what it was but it seemed awfully close. She grabbed her shoes at the front and decided to go check it out. Walking outside her home she didn’t think the music would get much louder and perfectly clear to hear it was in English. Her eyes got wide when she was where the music was coming from and the whole situation reminded her of an older American film she saw years ago. Some people walking the streets were staring at him and then both of them when she can to meet him with a large grin on her face, “What are you doing?” Smiling and laughing in her question as she can clearly hear the English lyrics and it’s hard not to blush.

happy birthday to you!
shiah, of course, being one of dahye’s close friends, had a special surprise planned for the elder woman on her birthday. it sucked that they had to come in and train still, even on their birthday, so shiah decided to make it a little more fun. she decorated one of the practice studios in streamers, balloons, confetti, and a banner that said ‘happy birthday dahye!’ on it, hung above the mirrors. she brought in a bag that contained her gift for the elder - some of her favourite make-up products, a couple ballcaps with rings on the lip for decoration, and a homemade mini chocolate cake at the bottom, in a tupperware container and hidden under the other presents so the trainers wouldn’t notice. she brought some party hats for the other trainees to wear, plus a fluffy birthday girl crown for dahye. once the elder woman walked into the room, she threw some confetti and shouted “happy birthday!!!” hopefully she liked her surprise.
Though it was her birthday Dahye wasn’t going to skip out early like last year. Training was a top priority so when the doors opened to the practice studio for the next schedule she didn’t expect to get confetti in her face and hear ‘happy birthday’ being shouted. Yooa was in front of her with the biggest smile and Dahye had to look about the room to really understand what was happening and she didn’t think she could smile so big seeing a big banner with her name on it. “Did... you do all this?” Going up to her dear friend and before the other could say another word she threw her bag down and engulfed Yooa in a tight hug. She felt so incredibly happy, “Thank you!” Giving the other a big smooch on her cheek.

face meditation.
rkseonho:
it happened all much faster than seonho thought anything could happen. one moment his noona was talking to him and stretching, and the next he heard a dull thud. his eyes widened a little as he took in the sight of the older girl laying face first. silence followed for a long moment. the teen not really knowing where to go from here, after all he had kind of just been following dahye.
“are…. you okay?” he asked, after the moment had passed. still just observing her from his spot across from her. his brows furrowing together in consideration. maybe this was a stretch? working on back muscles maybe? either way, seonho has been following her lead so… well he should continue doing so right? without any other thought put into his next action, seonho did as his noona.
he flopped over onto his face laying next to her. the ground was cool, not nearly as cool as he wanted but still nice. and the break from stretching was well needed and very nice. seonho deciding to take this blessing. he knows he needs to keep working hard if he is going to keep up with all his eval performances this month. but the teen does need to breath sometimes. and maybe laying face first in a practice room with dahye is just what he needs right now.
She didn’t answer him right away, too damn embarrassed that she lost her balance inches from the floor. Her face after the impact felt hot like it rubbed against the floor but her body was okay. Instead of getting up like she should of, it was nice using this unfortunate seen to take a few deep breath to get rid of the crappy feeling. All she was doing was stretching then goes off and does this.
Dahye after a few moments turned her head before opening her eyes and seeing Seonho literally in the same position as her. “Well I’m fine now.” It was hard to hold in the laugh because this was the last thing she expected. Two dumb-dumb’s planking face first into the floor. She was getting such a baby duckling vibe from his actions and of course now she is imagining him as a cute duck... he is too awesome for this world, she thought.
Falling on the floor didn’t feel so bad though whoever was next to come into the room would either scold them or ask questions. “It feels nice to just lay flat, align all our bones and muscles properly, let the circulation in our body flow.” There was still no way she was going to tell him that she actually fell. Keep of the hoax that she was really a wise noona.
“How are you feeling? relaxed?” asking with a turn of her head so her cheek in on the floor facing him.
