hello everyone! i’m tamie and i brought in this emotional dork named lee seojun. thank you for all the kind welcomes so far <33 here's his about for anyone to read. i’m gonna work on writing his backstory and a connection page at some point as well but i’ll mention a few things about him down below as well as some rough plot ideas. everything is rough so i may change them later on. let me know if you want to plot! also, if you want my discord, don’t be afraid to ask <3
seojun was born and raised in Ilsan before moving to seoul to attend university
he comes from a well off family who was always supportive and willing to help make his dreams a reality which he appreciates a ton. also he’s doted on a lot since he’s the youngest in his family
his parents send him money to survive so he doesn’t really have to work. he doesn’t like flaunting about his money though. doesn’t wanna seem spoiled, entitled, or arrogant
he got interested in wanting to become a trainee for a company due to friends from back home telling him about how they sent in audition tapes and that he should with his dancing
he has always enjoyed dancing and made sure to do so even when he was young. he had plenty of dreams of just being a backup dancer or even a dance instructor (he felt it was enough for him)
he currently attends korea national university of arts as a dance major
he does a lot of dance covers that he uploads on youtube and does a lot of street dancing as well when not in school
he’s always seems to be smiling and is enthusiastic when it comes to most things. he is easily emotional and at times may seem a bit childish. he gets moody when things don’t go as planned (mostly with himself) also has a habit of hiding his feelings with a smile
he speaks korean but knows english at an intermediate level though he doesn’t tend to speak it due to embarrassment/shyness. he knows basic japanese as well
a few plot ideas..? (all very rough)
a friend from Ilsan who he hasn’t seen in awhile maybe? could definitely make him feel less homesick at times
a fellow street dancer who he either met or does street dancing with
he has a cat so maybe something where his cat accidentally got out and bumps into someone who catches him for seojun
someone who possibly knows his family in some way (though the topic of his family being well off makes him feel weird to talk about)
a roommate or neighbor to give him someone to talk to instead of keeping to himself all the time when he’s not out and about
someone who has seen his dance covers or seen his street dancing
always up for brainstorming though if none of these speak to anyone!
luciel has never tried on a korean school uniform, he feels a little strange about it, but it’s a new experience regardless. “do i look awkward in this…?” he mumbles to seojun, straightening his collar. the script for this episode looks pretty much like a classroom-kind of theme, where they have to take silly tests for their mbti.
thinking about it, what was his mbti again? he knows it’s important to know in society but… was it INTJ or something? he’ll roll with that, he supposes. he remembers his result changing a couple of times, though.
“hyung, what’s your mbti?” luciel asks the older boy. even if he gets an answer, it’s not like he’ll remember what is it about… he better check it up later. “i think i’m INTJ, but i don’t know if it’ll remain the same for this one?” he wonders out loud as he sits down on the chair, crossing his legs.
seojun looks over at luciel after adjusting his uniform a bit before shaking his head. "you look fine, promise." he spoke softly. it felt different dressing like this again and he couldn't help but fiddle with his uniform a bit more. sure they were dressed due to the theme of the episode but he was eager to take the test for their mbti. he's sure his will change after today. the last time he took test like this was back before he even thought to be an idol so he was eager.
last time he took it, he ended up being ENFP if he remembered correctly. it's not like he told many people his mbti so he didn't always remember what he was.
"oh, i think mine is ENFP but that was from a few years ago." he doesn't even remember what each letter stood for so he'd probably have to look it up. "i think mine will change after we do these tests. it just seems to do so." he muses as he sits down himself.
it had been a minute since he found some time to spend with seojun. even now, he couldn't wonder if this would count as hang out time or work time. maybe an odd mix of both? but at least he knew he'd be able to see seojun more often. the fact that his friend was a debuted idol was one thing but now he might be joining him on that path. the first step was made and soon enough, hopefully, he'd be making the second step. but it was time to surprise seojin with the good news.
he had been pretty silent after the talent show. he didn't want to think about his audition until he passed now, he could mention his good fortune. it had taken some asking around but he finally spotted the other boy in the hall. tae creep up behind him slowly, finally reaching out to tap seojun on the shoulder before he stepped in front of him.
now seojun had happened to be in the building as he was working hard to memorize the choreo for the new song that vybe was performing for their comeback. sure it meant that most of the time he was just around the other member in their own practice room but he wasn't upset by it. right now, he was taking a break though since he needed something to keep him going otherwise he's sure he'd crash out.
trying to find a snack was his one mission and he's grateful for a vending machine nearby. he's already pulling out the money he'll need for his desired snack before he feels a tap on his shoulder and sees a familiar face. he's glad he didn't jump at all. he's sure he'd never hear the end of it.
"well look at you. i'm so happy that you are here." he smiled brightly at tae. he had seen the other's set at the talent show and was glad that he made it in.
seojun knew he was passionate when it came to dancing so getting to debut in a group still had this surreal feeling. even if he was skilled, he could have been missing something and not got the chance to be in vybe. he already was the oldest in vybe so he was just glad he got this chance and that lime took a chance with him. plus being an idol was his dream and he was enjoying every little thing they got to do. he looked forward to more photo shoots and performances no matter how busy it got. he still tried to stay in touch with people he was close to but he knew it was harder to meet at the moment.
"it really does. i'm glad to see people with this passion at a talent show." it was what companies wanted and he was eager to see who would get to be a trainee. "that's true. we'll see what the companies choose at the end of the day but we might be too busy to even see the new trainees." he laughed a bit. "it makes me wanna be more passionate as well. we can and use that for our performances with the other members of vybe."
noel looks at seojun, thankful for the other. had he not spotted seojun dancing that day, he’s not sure he would’ve figured out his interest in dance, maybe he still would’ve, maybe he never would’ve. seojun is kind of the reason that noel is where he is today, while it is noel that has worked his ass of, it is seojun’s dance that captured noel, noel probably doesn’t say it enough, but he’s quite thankful for seojun.
“yeah, i don’t think we’ll interact as much with the new trainees as we used to” he shrugs “we used to train along them, but now we train along the other vybe members, i feel a bit bad about not being able to welcome the new faces, but i truly just don’t have time for it…” he pouts “at least today we’re getting to see some potentially new trainees, and it brings memories back to see people working this hard simply to become a trainee”.
seojun will never forget how a lot of this happened and he's forever grateful that he got to debut alongside two people he considered his best friends. sure he could have dealt with getting to know new people but having a couple around that he knew made it easier for him. plus they got to grow together as a group now and support one another to do better. plus it meant he also got to be beside noel and haneul more which he was all for.
"i don't think so either unless we happen to bump into them in the hallway." he sighed a bit. "i do as well. i'd be all for welcoming new faces that join the companies but our schedule has been jam packed lately." it sucked but he'd do his best to say hello to anyone if they crossed paths. "that's true and i'm sure a few of them will be trainees. maybe they'll remember that we were judges during their talent show."
seojun felt much closer to everyone than he had before when it was just known as project green. he had only known haneul and noel before so he was glad he got to be closer to everyone else. they feel like they could be a family in a way and seojun would love that. it would be a closer bond than he had with his friends back home that he only gets to see if he gets to travel for any holiday. he hopes to learn more about all of them even noel and haneul who he's been close to for quite some time now.
"i felt you'd say something like that. i can't escape your flirting." a laugh leaves seojun instantly even if his cheeks are a soft pink. he hadn't been a flirt back then at all and the ones he dated had been due to them approaching him first. he nods before doing a serious pose for noel before smiling again after the photo is taken. "i do remember that. guess they didn't understand at all." he laughs before doing as the other asked, wanting him to have all the photos possible.
during their vybe days noel genuinely wanted to get closer to his members, during project green that had been a bit scarier to do. during project green they weren’t guaranteed to debut, there was a chance some of them would’ve been removed, like someone actually had been. it would’ve hurt to get close to these guys either for them not to debut, or for noel not to debut. but now that they had debuted, noel knew they’d stay together and now he was excited to get closer to them all.
“i try not to flirt since we’re members, but it’s so hard when you’re so pretty” noel smiles to the other before a laugh manages to escape his mouth. “i’m not gonna date my members though… but i will continue reminding you of how pretty you are” noel wasn’t going to date for a while, partly because he was a fresh idol, partly because he wasn’t really over his ex. “you’re born to be a model with how amazingly you pose, would you mind doing some selfies with me too?”.
with getting to be apart of vybe, seojun found it easier to get to know everyone. project green was a bit more tense since he knew that they could be dropped. he had been close but he managed to push through it and prove himself. he never wanted to falter at all even with getting to debut. plus he liked to help life up the other vybe members as well when he had the chance. they were in this together after all and he was eager about what more they'd do.
instantly, seojun's hands came to cover his face. "you just want to keep me red in the face." he muttered, pouting a bit as he pulled his hands away. "i mean, i figured you'd keep telling me how pretty i am. can't escape that." he laughed a bit though his cheeks still burned. he very much wanted to date and if he got the chance. he already had a crush but with how busy they were, it was hard to find the time to confess. maybe he'd ask advice from noel one day but for now, he was keeping this to himself still. "you think so? maybe a brand will see what you do and i'll get to model some. i won't mind. let's take a few selfies."
getting to film much more variety shows left seojun in awe. he got to be on ones he saw other idols that he admired on and he was eager to see what vybe would be up to on them. being on idol human theatre was already a treat. he's sure the fans will love seeing behind the scenes for them and whatever chaos they cause as a group. he knows most groups film this in their practice room but he appreciates a little change of scenery.
he can already see some of the other members having their own fun and goofing around as the cameras filmed them. the little interview parts to talk about previous clips or even just what it's like in the group is funny as well. he knows he's laughing a lot of the time and tries to stop himself multiple times even if he fails.
seojun finds himself with noel now though and is doing his best at a game of badminton that they started. he can't say he's good but he's trying which counts at least. he's not competitive with this so he doesn't mind. "my skills are definitely not in any sort of sports at all." he laughs a bit as he looks towards noel before hitting the birdie over the net towards noel.
joining variety shows was fun, even though the cameras were always rolling, it did make noel closer to his members. he’d gotten quite close to his members by now, surprised by how quickly it happened, but he supposes they do spend a lot of time together. at the moment actually, noel sees the vybe members more than he sees his own family. they’re luckily enjoyable to be around, and noel loves all of his members, but he can’t help but miss his family and old friends.
idol human theatre is chaotic to be on, and noel didn’t know about the show before vybe was asked to be joining. noel can’t quite keep up, it feels like they’ve done a million random things today, is it fun? yes. is noel a bit confused about what’s going on? also yes.
“i used to play badminton actually” he returns back, but sometimes it feels like noel has tried every sport out there, and for some reason, he’s almost always good. “want me to be nice to you? or just give it my all?” he gives the other a playful smile, tilts his head slightly to the side.
now seojun enjoys being close to the vybe members but he can't help but miss getting to see his friends who are trainees. sure he misses his family as well but that's a train ride to even get to them and he just has kept by with phone calls and texts. at least he had the vybe members as his second family though and that was better than seeing them as just coworkers.
there's been nothing but chaos since they've been on idol human theatre. he's sure the fans will love seeing the chaos that they are like together and get a glimpse into their dynamics. it's been a lot but he's enjoying every minute of it. it's like he can let go a little bit and just have fun which he doesn't seem to always let himself do so.
"oh? i never have at all. too focused on dancing and other things in school." he admits as he does his best return it back to noel. "please be nice to me. i won't have a chance if you give it your all." he says, giving a slight pout.
honestly, noel hadn’t expected to be this nervous once he debuted, with so much hard practice under his belt, he figured he wouldn’t be nervous to stand on stage ever. but for the music shows for their debut he’d been nervous like hell. figuring that he had already been on music shows for his debut, he figured he wouldn’t be nervous for their first comeback, once again he was wrong.
he just finished getting his make up done, fiddling with a piece of trash in his fingers that he hasn’t managed to get up and throw out yet. he’s mixing between fiddling with the trash, tapping his fingers on his thighs and pulling at the end of his shirt. when seojun ( @beseojun ) comes over he gives a small smile, looking down briefly before looking up at the older again “is it dumb that i’m nervous?” he manages to get out. “it’s our first music show for our comeback, but i figured since we’ve been on so many music shows by now i wouldn’t be nervous” he pouts.
seojun knew that he always got nervous and a bit of performance jitters before getting on stage. it was always how he got but he usually was fine when on stage. he knew it was due to this being their first comeback. sure he knew the choreography in his sleep at this point but he was still nervous. what if he messed up in some way? he didn't wanna accidentally do that.
he got his makeup done and couldn't help but fret over his outfit a bit so it sat against his body better. he came towards noel, giving a soft smile towards the other. "it's not dumb at all. i'm a bit nervous myself." he let him know. "i feel there will always be a bit of nervousness even when we've done this for years. something about seeing how the fans will perceive it makes me nervous."
it feels like time passes so fast when you're just...existing. going through routines-- wake up, get to training, spend the day doing whatever the company has set, and then going home to sleep and restarting the day over. stevie really has to make his days, so that they stick out from the usual unexciting moments.
like for example-- stevie finally getting a chance to hang out with seojun in a very long time. the debut and subsequent promotions after have left the older busy. stevie's grateful seojun could squeeze some time in for him.
"so..." stevie trails off, grining wide at seojun as they lean over a hot, steaming plate of food. as the surfer gathers himself his own plate, he follows up with. "how's it feel, bigshot? you like it? everything you ever dreamed of?"
it had been awhile since seojun had gotten to see anyone outside of the vybe members. it had been a routine for him to work a lot lately with promotions and anything else that was fit into their schedule. he spent most of his time not work to catch up on rest which he knew no one would blame him for at all.
he was glad to spend time with stevie though after what felt like forever. he was used to seeing the other male often but since debut, he barely saw any of the trainees unless they bumped into each other briefly.
looking up from where he had been staring at the food, seojun can't help the smile that spreads across his lips. "it feels great honestly. i like it a lot and at times i still feel like i'm dreaming. younger me would have been so happy that i got this far. it's a lot of work but i love getting to perform."
it had been a bit since seojun had done something outside of vybe. sure he loves all the activities he's gotten to do with vybe and his other group members. it's nice to take a break though. plus he gets to be enjoy waterbomb again and see others perform. maybe vybe will be at waterbomb down the line. he's hoping for it. at least he can learn from the others performing today.
at least he's with noel today and he's already eager to see what they can get up to. "glad we get to do something outside of our schedule." he beamed as he looked toward the other after taking his eyes off the stage. "do you think we'll get to be up there one day?" it was a dream for sure and he was looking forward to what more vybe would get to do.
getting to film much more variety shows left seojun in awe. he got to be on ones he saw other idols that he admired on and he was eager to see what vybe would be up to on them. being on idol human theatre was already a treat. he's sure the fans will love seeing behind the scenes for them and whatever chaos they cause as a group. he knows most groups film this in their practice room but he appreciates a little change of scenery.
he can already see some of the other members having their own fun and goofing around as the cameras filmed them. the little interview parts to talk about previous clips or even just what it's like in the group is funny as well. he knows he's laughing a lot of the time and tries to stop himself multiple times even if he fails.
seojun finds himself with noel now though and is doing his best at a game of badminton that they started. he can't say he's good but he's trying which counts at least. he's not competitive with this so he doesn't mind. "my skills are definitely not in any sort of sports at all." he laughs a bit as he looks towards noel before hitting the birdie over the net towards noel.
seojun knew he was living on excitement and a ton of caffeine at the moment but it was all worth it to him. this is what he had wanted to do since he had seen his first idol group on tv. even with the busy schedule he enjoy every part of it and made sure he was keeping up. plus he wasn't gonna complain about dancing and performing more. he was ready to see what more vybe would do in the future and what opportunities would open up for them.
"it really is. you can see a lot of passion in some people. i do as well. i know how nerve wracking that can be. i get that. some didn't draw me in at all." he says, trying to recall those performances that he felt like he was doze off on or dissociate during. "i mean i get that. plus we've also been judged ourselves on next gen. i feel our opinions definitely matter." he knew that it was odd to judge though since this was their first time doing so. "that's true since those will be the ones even the companies would be interested in."
honestly, noel wasn’t sure he’d debut, thinking about how late he started all this. when he joined next gen he’d only been dancing for a few months, and he’d never tried his luck with singing nor rapping before. a lot of way younger people had practiced way longer than him and were way more skilled than him. noel was getting older and older, and it felt like the people around his age had practiced for years while he hadn’t. he worked hard though, and in the end, starting late didn’t mean he wasn’t going to debut, he had worked his ass off and it worked.
he nods “it really seems like a lot of people really want to win this, they seem like they’ve practiced for long”. “honestly, i think a lot of them deserve to be trainees, but i guess it’s not up to choose if they’ll become that or not” he shrugs. “seeing how passionate they are, while not even debuted yet, makes me want to become even more passionate… these people might not even be trainees yet, but i think we can learn a lot from their performances”.
seojun knew he was passionate when it came to dancing so getting to debut in a group still had this surreal feeling. even if he was skilled, he could have been missing something and not got the chance to be in vybe. he already was the oldest in vybe so he was just glad he got this chance and that lime took a chance with him. plus being an idol was his dream and he was enjoying every little thing they got to do. he looked forward to more photo shoots and performances no matter how busy it got. he still tried to stay in touch with people he was close to but he knew it was harder to meet at the moment.
"it really does. i'm glad to see people with this passion at a talent show." it was what companies wanted and he was eager to see who would get to be a trainee. "that's true. we'll see what the companies choose at the end of the day but we might be too busy to even see the new trainees." he laughed a bit. "it makes me wanna be more passionate as well. we can and use that for our performances with the other members of vybe."
a comeback and seojun felt he was ready for it. sure they had done a lot since their debut album but he was so ready to take on this new song and make sure he was prepared for it. it’s been a lot to do and sure he could say he’s tired when they get home but he loves it. it is one thing that gets him going plus the new b-side is pretty good as well which he’s eager for.
as they prepare for the filming of their mv, seojun can’t calm down his excitement. he makes sure to do as directed with any solo shots he needs to do for the mv as well as parts of the choreo that they need to do during the mv. maybe his excitement will rub off onto the fans and they will be eager to see the new music. he’s crossing his fingers since he wants vybe to do well and gain as many fans as possible. it's a lot of work so he wants the pay off to be good in the end. it's his dream for vybe since they've been working so hard.
maybe it’s due to him being a new idol that he likes everything they’ve done so far. he has no reason to dislike the song or whatever they have on their schedule. he gets to do what he dreamed of and he’s more than happy. he constantly wonders what people back home think since he hasn’t talked to his parents much since he first debuted in vybe.
he knows that the fans are aware that he and seojun have been friends for a long time, so he doesn't really think twice when it comes to acting a little closer to seojun than the other members. of course, he still tries his best to interact with everyone but it's just a little different when it comes to his best friend. he's sure everyone understands. hopefully.
either way, he's been enjoying monitoring the other vybe members' photoshoots even if he hasn't been as actively commenting on them.
"i meaaaaaaan, i won't say no," haneul says playfully, though he's already always around everyone else when they're doing their solo shoots. it's just fun to see what the other members do and try to adapt things he doesn't already do to his own photoshoots.
he points at the previews on the screen, holding out the water bottle he had grabbed for seojun to him. "look though!" he says, asking the director to flip between the two pictures that they were looking at. "see? your jawline looks better at this angle, right?"
seojun knows that even with cameras around, it won't stop how he acts with haneul. the other is his best friend and crush at the end of the day so he knows he is much closer to him than anyone. he's sure the other vybe members understand and he tries his best to interact with everyone else as well. he can't have anyone feeling like he's ignoring them at all.
he wonders if he'll be seen as a parental figure with how he is around the others. he may not be the leader but he does love making sure everyone is okay in some way.
he laughs a bit before smiling fondly at the other. "i knew you wouldn't. gotta have my hannie around." he just likes hearing what the other thinks and plus he'll take any chance to be around his best friend more.
he gently takes the bottle before his attention is on what haneul is pointing out. "i mean it really does. makes it stand out a bit more as well. i'll have to keep that in mind when we do other shoots." he mused before taking a drink from the water bottle.
seojun can't help but wonder what other ideas they'll do for the web show. it's hard not to think about it when he's seen so many from other idol groups. it has him excited though he knew he was already. he enjoys everything they have been doing on their schedule though so he's ready to see how this will be perceived. plus he's always up for getting closer to his members and showing a different side of himself.
hearing noel's words had him blushing. he wished he was better at taking compliments so he was always a flustered mess. that was wishful thinking though it seemed. "you think so? makes me wonder if you'd say that if we had gone to the same schools back then." he laughed a bit. "sure. i don't mind and i definitely wanna remember this." he does a piece signs and hearts with his hands, feeling they fit for this. "any other poses you want me to do?" he asks, curiously.
in their short time vybe and project green had existed, noel had gotten closer with his fellow members, for majority of them when project green started, he had barely talked to them. practicing every day and spending so much time together made noel feel closer with the vybe members than a lot of friends he’d had for years. but, still, even though they’ve grown close, they haven’t all known each other for long, and noel wants to learn more about his members, he thinks this show might be an opportunity to do that.
“if we went to school together back then i would’ve hit on you” a laugh escapes noel’s lips, though he knows the only person he hit on back then was his ex boyfriend, which he still isn’t entirely over. “do a serious pose!” he says before catching some more photos. “do you remember during next gen when i would do a ‘L’ pose? it stood for lee noel, but a lot of people thought i was calling the judges losers” another laugh escapes his lips “do an ‘L’ pose!”.
seojun felt much closer to everyone than he had before when it was just known as project green. he had only known haneul and noel before so he was glad he got to be closer to everyone else. they feel like they could be a family in a way and seojun would love that. it would be a closer bond than he had with his friends back home that he only gets to see if he gets to travel for any holiday. he hopes to learn more about all of them even noel and haneul who he's been close to for quite some time now.
"i felt you'd say something like that. i can't escape your flirting." a laugh leaves seojun instantly even if his cheeks are a soft pink. he hadn't been a flirt back then at all and the ones he dated had been due to them approaching him first. he nods before doing a serious pose for noel before smiling again after the photo is taken. "i do remember that. guess they didn't understand at all." he laughs before doing as the other asked, wanting him to have all the photos possible.
he's not sure when this will all stop feeling like he's dreaming. though, part of him doesn't want it to ever stop feeling like that. he doesn't want to become someone who doesn't feel in awe of the career he's chosen, and he wants to be someone who seems down to earth when it comes to the realm of kpop idols.
for now at least, he still feels like he's on cloud nine. though, honestly, haneul doesn't think it'll ever stop feeling like that.
watching seojun throw up some hearts at the fans makes him laugh a little to himself, unable to stop the grin from appearing on his lips. considering he was a fan of groups too, it's not anything new to see an idol do things like that. but maybe because it's his best friend, who he lives with and has seen freshly woken up and disheveled, it's kinda a funny image for him. he's sure it's the same for seojun too.
he peers out the window and waves at people who he can see holding pickets or banners with his name or face on them, wanting them to know that he's acknowledging them. he wonders how many of them they'll see at fansigns later this promotion period.
"this still doesn't feel real right? is it just me?" he asks after a moment of just gazing outside. "i can't believe we have fans."
seojun feels like all of this will never stop feeling like he was dreaming. he always wakes up everyday and pinches himself. it just feels too good to be true at times even though he knows this is his life now. he knows that he'll try to not be like the typical kpop idol without breaking the rules set forth by their company.
he loves this feeling of being in awe constantly especially with seeing how many fans they've been able to get with their music so far.
seojun knows that if it was outside of this situation, he wouldn't be throwing up heart signs and being silly as often. it just felt different especially since he's beside his best friend who has seen him in ways that the fans might never get to. it's funny but this is their life now and he's grown very accustomed to that easily.
he can't help but do more aegyo and waves a bit at some fans that he sees holding different signs with his name and face. this is already so different but a part of him loves it and can't help but indulge a little. makes him look forward to other times they'll get to interact with fans.
"it doesn't at all. i feel like a dream at times." he answers back, flashing a smile towards haneul before looking back at the fans. "i can't either. i thought we'd have to wait a bit to build that up."
"no," she mumbles. before she frowns, mumbling a petulant "okay, maybe a little" under her breath. she drags her legs up a bit, knees bent like she's about to push herself up to stand. sua's working her way up to it, knowing her time is tick, tick, ticking away the longer she lays there. "my free practice annoyed me so i'm taking a minute to find my zen. whatever that means."
sua listens to seojun explain, her frown deepening more out of thought than genuine annoyance, for once. she's not quite sure how to read that other than she she's definitely giving off a newbie vibe. "i started this winter," she mumbles in lieu of response, shutting her eyes for a moment. "so...you're right. kinda."
finally, she pries her back off the floor. sua sits up, stretching one arm up as she finds out seojun is a dancer. the other trainee is beginning to wonder if everyone here is a better dancer-- or at least more focused in it. lime's been known for performance, apparently, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. it does everytime, though.
"ah..." she nods her head. "are you...any good? probably, right?" she asks the question but sua laughs before she even finishes it. dumb question, but it's better than stewing in her irritation. the conversation takes her mind off of it. "...i like to rap. or it's the one i do the most, i guess." her shoulder shrugs, sua reaching up to rake a hand through her hair.
he almost laughs, understanding that feeling too easily himself. sometimes he doesn't wanna go to certain classes or practice but he always pushes himself through it. maybe his driving force is dancing which he's always up for in some way. "i mean i get that. taking time to do that will help, i'm sure."
he nods a bit before he answers her. "ah, so i was on mark at least a bit." sure he doesn't know all the trainees that end up at line or in any of the other two companies either. plus with how busy he is, he doesn't even get to meet any of them.
he knows everyone in lime seems to go the route of dancing but it's his passion at the end of the day. he loves singing but nothing beats dancing when it comes to him. plus he instilled the push to dance since he was young so he always feels happy when he's dancing. he didn't ever wanna disappoint lime since he enjoyed being apart of the company.
"i mean, others have told me that i am. i never like to brag at all." he mutters before laughing himself. he is always self critical of himself so he'd never say he's a good dancer at all. "oh? i bet you are a great rapper. i suck at rapping and when i've had to do it, it never went over well." he spoke, keeping his gaze on her.
seojun knew that even through the tiredness that hit him, he was thoroughly enjoying himself with everything as apart of vybe. it was nice doing something outside the norm though with judging for the talent show. plus seeing the different people get the treats with their names attached to it was a pleasant experience in it's own right. he had been keeping a score in his head to see which was the most popular and it was a bit entertaining while judging.
"there are! i don't think i could narrow it down at least right now." he lets out a sigh but smiles right after. "that's true. whoever has the bigger impact is the best to go by." he knows the different performances won't have all the it factors so focusing on one thing helps. he gives noel a playful bump with his elbow before nodding as he listens. "it does. it seems so surreal being a judge. i am too. i love seeing how everyone is changing up their performances." makes him wonder who will get the chance to be a trainee from this. there's a few potentials he'd be all for seeing. "i do as well. those are definitely ones that stick out to me."
noel had become exhausted as an idol, but the excitement was pulling him through. even though he was doing something everyday, practicing his body and interacting with so many people, it made him tired, but with the excitement of being an idol, he managed to keep going. this was what noel wanted to do with his life, and he was so happy he achieved debut, even with their busy schedule, noel was above happy about it all, being in vybe really was all he wanted, and he was excited for the future, even though the future looked busy.
“it’s definitely hard to pick whose best… though i find it impressive for anyone who dared stand up on that stage and i don’t want to sound mean, there were some performances that either bored me or just didn’t do very well” he shrugs “it feels weird saying a performance wasn’t that well when we’re newly idols, but… we’ve been trainees for long as well, our opinions mather” he hums. “but rather than thinking about the not-so-good performances, we should probably think about the better ones, the more memorable ones”.
seojun knew he was living on excitement and a ton of caffeine at the moment but it was all worth it to him. this is what he had wanted to do since he had seen his first idol group on tv. even with the busy schedule he enjoy every part of it and made sure he was keeping up. plus he wasn't gonna complain about dancing and performing more. he was ready to see what more vybe would do in the future and what opportunities would open up for them.
"it really is. you can see a lot of passion in some people. i do as well. i know how nerve wracking that can be. i get that. some didn't draw me in at all." he says, trying to recall those performances that he felt like he was doze off on or dissociate during. "i mean i get that. plus we've also been judged ourselves on next gen. i feel our opinions definitely matter." he knew that it was odd to judge though since this was their first time doing so. "that's true since those will be the ones even the companies would be interested in."
