“The sense of familiarity and home. I’ve been here in South Korea for over a year now, and it still doesn’t feel like home. I’m not one hundred percent comfortable here, and it sucks but.. I guess there’s nothing I really can do about that, you know? I’ve just got to grin and bear it. Suck it up and be an adult about it. This is what I wanted and I knew what it would entail, so I have no right to complain.”
If anyone could be your slave for a day, who would it be and what would they have to do?
“A slave? I don’t want a slave. Not only would taking away someone’s freewill be wrong, it wouldn’t feel right to me. I don’t like forcing people to do things that they don’t want to do.”
as a trainee, is there a position/concept you think you could do better than a specific sunbae?
“I don’t really think I could do their concept better than them, but I think that I would be a good fit in EVOL. I really love their music and I feel as though I would really fit their concept. It’s really laid back and chill, and has an L.A. type of vibe, and as an L.A. native myself, I think I’d bring something valuable to the group.”
“Family means love. Family means always being there for the people that you love and not giving up on them or abandoning them. Family means being united and standing together, no matter how much you might argue and fight with the people you consider your loved ones.”
smiling to herself, the tall trainee would reach over to shield the younger’s head with her hand from the underside of the bench just in case she hit her head as they moved out from underneath the piece of furniture. “fair enough, you must have been pretty distracted to drop it though.” the ginger responded with a small laugh before she’s reaching out to take an earbud from the blonde’s ear, placing it in her own in order to hear the music that was pounding through the tiny white devices. “electra ? you’ve got good taste, i’m proud.” she teases. it was no secret that lux was quite possibly electra’s biggest fan, she’d never been shy about her support towards the older group. “i’m hoping we get a comeback this year but, with how wonder records have been lately, i doubt it.” she pouts, lower lip potruding slightly before she’s smiling at her fellow trainee once more. “i was just on my way to get something to eat, wanna come ? ”
when delilah first arrived to south korea, she thought that she would stick out like a sore thumb because of her quote-unquote, abnormal height. and while she was still taller than most if not all of the females she’d met in south korea, she was glad that there wasn’t too much of a distance between her height and her unnie’s. she smiled when she took the earbud out of her ear. “yeah, i was just really getting into the music, i guess you could say.” she shrugged her shoulders, letting out a quiet chuckle, before nodding her head. “i’ve been listening to all of electra’s music lately, and i love it all. i really wish they’d release some new material soon..” she murmured, a small frown spreading across her face as she thought about her sunbaenims. it was upsetting that they were going through issues with their label and weren’t releasing any music. “you know i’m always up for something to eat, unnie.”
regardless of contrary belief, delilah liked to eat. and boy, when she ate did she eat a lot. it didn’t really matter what the food was, she wasn’t picky and she didn’t discriminate. she was the same way back in los angeles. whenever she went out with her friends, they knew to keep their plates covered because she would eventually try to pick something off of their plates. why? because apparently it tasted better when it was somebody else’s - or at least it did according to her logic. she wasn’t sure how her and sera ended up in this predicament; sitting in the back of a fast food restaurant at two in the morning, a spread of food horrible for their diets set out in front of them. “do you usually do this?” delilah asked conversation between bites of food. “go out late at night to eat a bunch of bad foods?” she herself would be lying if she tried to claim that she’d never done it before.
jiae and delilah never trained together, the other girl was never one of jiae’s fears once she debuted in happiness. truth to be told she’s scared and sorry for the princess members since she was with some of them but suddenly debuted somewhere else - being both ‘99 liners and under hjh the friendship between the two just began without much thought. one or two smiles suddenly turned into full conversations with laughter, being them in either korean or english ( since jiae found out about delilah’s problems with korean ). so there they were, using one of the practice rooms, hiding from jiae’s manager and praying a staff member wouldn’t walk in while they’re eating trash food. ‘’oh my..’’ jiae’s laugh was suddenly blocked by her hand. noise shall not be made, she thinks. the clumsy idol had just dropped her whole instant ramen on the floor and she was surely about to cry ( no lie ). ‘’my dear food, i cannot. girl, once they find out about some ramen being all over the floor they’re gonna be so pissed, can you please tell my brother i loved him?’’ - full on acting about the issue, jiae was not that worried about it - it was not like they’d find out who made the mess… or would they.
( @fmxdelilah )
it was a little difficult having one of your closest friends being a native korean speaker, but luckily for delilah, jiae was also well versed in english, so it wasn’t too much of a communication gap between the two of them. she wasn’t sure how their friendship had formed, but she was so glad that it had. jiae was one of the important fixtures of her life there in south korea, and she wasn’t sure if she would be able to make it through her training without her. even though they weren’t training together and jiae had already debuted, she still relied on her a lot, and the two of them saw each other quite a bit due to being under the same label. delilah couldn’t control the laughter that bubbled up in her chest once she saw the knocked over ramen, slapping her hand over her mouth, trying to keep quiet as she did so. “jesus christ, jiae. can you say butter fingers?” she teased, kneeling down so she can help her clean it up. “if we get this cleaned up before anyone else comes in, we might be able to get away with it. did you bring any napkins?”
delilah had been someone who miyoung would always try to take care of - and with care i mean helping the other out with korean ( and not only ). the idol knows how hard it can be to learn a new language, her first years in london were like nightmares. english was too hard for her but with luck she actually got the hang of it and now miyoung can’t really see herself not wanting to help others when it comes to either korean or english. delilah did have a good progress and the idol wants to pat herself for being a nice teacher and delilah for being so nice and willing to have joo miyoung bothering her. ‘’ah, the hours before practice are always horrible. i think i can say i’m glad i saved you?’’ being friends with trainees always made the idol go back into the days where training was all she did ( basically ). the girl shook her head with a smile. ‘’i can handle it! not to mention i want to do something besides the things i do everyday.. fansigns, recordings for music shows. i’m gonna give myself a few hours to have fun and you’re coming with me! no excuses’’
“they definitely are. i wasn’t sure if i should take a nap or work on something else, but i knew that if i took a nap i wouldn’t have woken up in time for practice, and there was nothing else for me to do, so..” she trailed off, shrugging her shoulders. she could have called her parents, who were vacationing in beijing for the time being, but she didn’t want to bother them. and it wasn’t like that conversation would’ve lasted longer than five minutes anyway. they didn’t have much to say to each other. “alright, alright, i’m happy to tag along with you.” she perked up slightly as a thought entered her mind. “you want to go shopping? i haven’t gone in a few months, and i could use a few new things.”
promotion periods where the worst for miyoung - having barely any time to sleep, eat or even breathe drived her insane sometimes but seeing fans supporting rosebud and screaming for her name, whenever she was suffering during the schedules given to the group, just gave her a boost of energy to keep on going. today had been that day where the company decided to give them a little bit too much to do, unlike the other days ( not to mention rosebud has been having comeback after comeback, without having time for proper breaks ) - so miyoung couldn’t help but to reach for the first person at her sight, asking them to keep her company during a nice meal ( basically a bowl of fresh and cold fruit that calmed down her stress ). ‘’i’m sorry for dragging you here. i didn’t even speak yet since i’m only focusing on the food’’ the idol smiles, totally sorry for taking up their time. ‘’if you want i can buy you something else to eat - think of it as an apology! or we can just do whatever you want for the rest of the day, it’s up to you’’
it was still hard adjusting to korean culture, and delilah continued to struggle with it to this day, even after being in the country for over a year. learning a completely different language and customs was not an easy feat, and she commended anyone who knew more than one language. she knew just enough to survive and to sing the songs that princess had to record. by just looking at her and hearing her sing, a lot of people assumed she was native to south korea, but when she spoke it gave her away. she spoke korean with an american accent, which was a little embarrassing, but she was still learning. and the idol sitting across from her had been a great teacher so far. “you don’t have to apologize, unnie. you saved me from being bored in my dorm until practice later.” she chuckled, politely waving her off. “i think i’ll stick with the fruit for now, thank you. are you sure you want to do anything else? you seem very tired, i don’t want to keep you from resting.”
stumbling out of the building behind her, the long legged trainee would allow a groan to escape her full lips as she stretches her thin arms above her head, head tilting backwards in an attempt to get rid of the cramp that had become apparent half way through her recent therapy session. in all honesty, it was all becoming a bit tedious. lux knew that it was good for her to go and cry it out once a week with her patient therapist, but she was beginning to feel as though she would never be able to fully heal after the events that had happened almost three years ago. running a hand through her fringe, the tall dancer would cast her gaze down the street where she was met with the odd sight of someone crouched under one of the many park benches, clearly searching for something and she tilts her head, moving towards the bench before crouching down and joining them under the bench. “lost something ? ”
delilah often found herself at the park, notebook in hand and a pair of headphones gently pressed against her ears, blocking out the sounds of the outside world and filling her ears with music. on the music playlist today was a few more korean groups that had been suggested to her by her group members. the songs were not only catchy, but they helped her work on her korean and develop those skills even more. she could now understand eighty-five percent of everything being said around her, not only music, and could respond back. kind of. she had gotten so wrapped up in listening to her music that her notebook slipped out of her hand, landing underneath the bench. she sighed and got up, crouching down to look for it. then suddenly she was joined an a familiar voice hit her ears. “oh,” she smiled. “hey unnie. no, i just dropped my notebook.” she reached for it, then held it up for her to see. “got it.”
Hello! I’m Tia (They/Them, 21, EST) and this is my second muse, Delilah! My first being Jeong Joon (the Rocky fc). Under the cut is a bunch of facts about my sunshine, so like this if you’d like to plot with her! Profile x Plots
Hello! I’m Tia (They/Them, 21, EST) and this is my second muse, Delilah! My first being Jeong Joon (the Rocky fc). Under the cut is a bunch of facts about my sunshine, so like this if you’d like to plot with her! Profile x Plots
She was born in Los Angeles and she’s fourth generation Korean-American
Her family is extremely westernized, meaning that they don’t follow any Korean traditions or customs, and they don’t even speak Korean
So she’s still struggling with her Korean to this day, please be patient with her lmao
Her parents weren’t really the most attentive because they were so wrapped up with their jobs and they pretty much just left her to be raised by a string of nannies
One of her nannies, her favorite one by far, introduced her to singing and that changed her life
She immediately fell in love with singing and she knew that it was something that she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She began singing in local competitions, open mic nights and at school talent shows
It wasn’t until she entered a statewide singing competition that she was scouted by someone from HJH entertainment who saw potential in her and in her voice and wanted her to audition. At first she was apprehensive about it, but after doing a lot of research she decided that she wanted to take the plunge and do it.
Her parents were against it at first, but after she begged and pleaded with them for months to allow her to go through with it, they told her that she needed to finish the school year first before she could come to South Korea to pursue her dream of becoming a singer
She’s a really sweet girl, the type that would apologize to someone who knocked her over because “she must have been in their way”. People tend to take advantage of her kindness, but she doesn’t realize it.
Even though she’s really nice, she has a nasty competitive streak and can be quite possessive and jealous when it comes to certain things?? Like yikes, watch out for that.
Lilah’s surprisingly tall. She’s 5′10 and her height is something that runs in her family. Her father is 6′4 and her mother is 5′11.
She’s working really hard to perfect her Korean skills before Princess debuts because she doesn’t want to embarrass herself by not being able to fluently speak Korean.
