Mina turns the door knob open as soon as Hyejeong responds, and sure enough she manages to push it open easily. “Hey!” She greets, heading straight to Hyejeong’s bed to plop on it, stomach down, never mind that the bottom half of it is littered with Hyejeong’s belongings.

“I’m just…” She’s unsure how to unsure the taller’s question; all she knows is that she hadn’t wanted to be alone, even though they’re supposed to be resting for tomorrow’s activities. “I want to go out,” she declares, grunting as she pulls herself up into a sitting position. “Let’s take a walk!” Never mind that they’re in foreign city and Mina easily gets lost–it’s not like this is their first time in Tokyo anyway.

[ivhyejeong]

“Yah!”, her protest fell onto deaf ear when Mina covered her clothes and other things with herself. It was no big deal, actually, but she always found it fun to messed with her friend like that. “You know you can wrinkle my clothes that way. I don’t want to look like I don’t know how to take care of my clothes.”, Hyejeong huffed quietly in a playful manner before pulling out a pair of pants from under the petite girl. 

Mina’s request was no surprise to her as there seemed to be no one left in the apartment with no noise present. Hyejeong must’ve not paid any attention to the outside world as she was too busy sorting out the things she had brought. “A walk? Where? Will it be okay without anyone?”, the worry left tingles on the tip of her fingers even though the tall girl thought there was no reason for it to not be okay. They wouldn’t be lost. “Where should we go? Maybe... We can ask the front office on what to do around here.”, she put away her pants with her eyes fixated on Mina as a mischievous smile rose on her lips. “How good is your Japanese this time around?”

The energy of the concert vibrated throughout the venue until the end of the last song. Even until the group of five left the stage and the lights turned back on. Hyejeong couldn’t helped but to be mesmerized, though, along with her unnie who screamed her lungs out. “Whew, that was such a great show.. Huh, unnie?”, with a mischievous smile, she nudged the smaller girl who looked like she was still in the excitement trance of the show. 

Once they walked back out to where they came in from - the backstage door - she knew Jimin would went onto her separate way as she had “other appointments” to be at. Hyejeong didn’t mind. She knew it would’ve happened. “Alright, unnie. Be safe and just tell me if you need any pick up afterwards, okay? I’ll keep everyone informed so no one will go on a search for you.”, She turned around and waved her hand while making her bee trail towards the door. 

Her eyes went to focused onto her phone, telling the managers she would be needing to be picked up safely when she heard footsteps of a group of people coming towards where she was standing. Hyejeong turned her focus towards the direction of the sound and saw familiar faces from afar. There were six of them - five of the group members and one security member - but only one noticed her. With a sheepish smile, the tall girl fumbled and put her phone back in to gave him a shy wave of her hand. “H-Hey!”

shj&kma › foreign night out

@ivhyejeong

23 JUNE 2016

For once, the trip to Japan is actually a welcome respite–at least that’s how Mina deems it to be. Too much has been going on back home, and a short time overseas, even somewhere as close as Japan, is something that she’s looked forward to. Besides, there was actual work involved, and not just the hours of rehearsal time they’ve been putting in the last couple of weeks.

They don’t really stay in fancy hotels when they’re in Tokyo, just small apartment hotels, but Mina doesn’t mind either. Granted, it’s a given that she misses her own bed whenever she doesn’t sleep in it, but the small rooms are cozy enough, albeit a little lonely when she gets assigned to ones where she doesn’t get a roommate.

This is how she finds herself just dumping her suitcase in the room, and quickly stumbling back out the door, only her phone and wallet in hand as she searches down the corridor for the door she knows is Hyejeong’s. “Shin Hyejeong!” She calls out, closed fist banging against the wood. “Open up!”

[ivhyejeong]

After everything they had been through during the most recent promotion cycle, Hyejeong was worn out. She wasn’t even the center of the whole thing and she was worn out. It triggered the stomach-churning feel of guilt for her leader and Seolhyun, who had eyes and hate comments followed them for weeks on end. She could only hoped that this round of overseas schedules could watered the drama down and let her members promoted in peace.

As she was opening her suitcase to unpack, the door banged with the voice that she had guessed would came sooner or later, calling her name. “Just come in! It’s not locked!”, Hyejeong chuckled and turned towards the door, forgetting her suitcase for now. “What are you doing here, huh? Not going to check if you have everything with you here?”, it wasn’t their first time in Japan and surely, the taller knew that Mina would’ve had everything with her, from her suitcase to the Charmander stuffed toy she always carried around. “Is everyone... Still here? I haven’t heard any laughing or shouting.”

meatballs? • smh;shj

[ivmino]

He didn’t really expect meatball-stealer’s response to be so….caught off-guard, but then again, he understood the response. It was somewhat awkward on his part to ask too, seeing as they didn’t really usually converse with girls out of their company much. Mino’d recognised her of course, now that he can see her face and not just her back (or getting distracted by the food). She was one of the girls from AOA (which apparently is a group that his leader was very into), and they had promoted alongside one another before. They just hadn’t really spoken before this.

At first, Mino had thought that the meal would be a quick and quiet one, he wasn’t really sure how to make conversation after all. But he guesses that the gods were maybe finally on his side when the girl was first to strike up conversation. “Eating with my members..? Ah…they wanted to eat Korean food, back at the waiting room. But I wanted to try the Japanese food that they had here! Besides, I didn’t really want to eat with them….” He breaks off a little, paying attention now to the piece of pork cutlet now. “How about you? Why aren’t your eating with your members…or would they really join you later?”

They eating in a bit of silence now and as they’re eating, Mino’s briefly wondering if it would be too obvious and bad of him to pull out his phone to search about the girl on Naver. While they’ve seen each other backstage at music shows and such, he really wasn’t sure about her name. Maybe it was the same for the girl too, so maybe it wasn’t so bad that he didn’t know after all. And maybe it also wouldn’t be too bad if he introduced himself, after all, they were at this concert together and he’d often viewed these concerts as a place and chance for them to mingle with other fellow idols. “Uh…so…I’m WINNER’s Song Mino…or just Mino, it’s really probably my first time at these kind of concert shows so…nice to meet you?!”

[ivhyejeong]

Supposedly, it wasn’t a queer sight to see at this kind of event; idols from different groups blended and mingled, no controversy could’ve stirred unless someone blew it out of proportion. Even with the thought, Hyejeong couldn’t settled her discreet nervousness. “I think most of them had eaten already... Or they can’t really eat before a performance.”, she chuckled between her breath before taking a whole meatball inside her mouth then realized she had company at the table. With her cheeks reddening, the girl chewed quicker than usual as if in attempt to hide the evidence. “Didn’t really want to eat with them? If... If you don’t mind me asking... Why, though? They are your members?”

Then once again, silence filled the void between them other than the small noises of utensils clashing against each other or against the plates. She thought of ways on how to spruced up another conversation intro, one that wouldn’t sent her to a downward spiral of awkwardness. Would it be awkward if she told him she had his song on repeat before? Hyejeong quickly pursed her lips to stopped herself right there. “O-Oh...”, with a shy smile on her lips, she nodded slightly to showed her acknowledgement of his introduction. He actually didn’t need one. “Is it really your first time? But... Nice to meet you, Mino-ssi. I know who you are.”, Hyejeong finally admitted and dipped her head in a shallow bow. “AOA’s Hyejeong. I... I think it’s the first time we get to talk like this, huh? It’s quite rare to see a YG group in these joint concerts...”

{/ she brings the cup close to her lips, feeling the warm liquid of tea touching them as her eyes wander around the almost empty 24 hour coffee shop, seeing it’s almost midnight and everyone else probably already sleeping in their beds; her eyes glance toward the female sitting across from her, features hidden underneath the shadow of a baseball cap, just like hyejeong } Ahyoung-ah... {/ the birth name sounds foreign but it sounds friendlier than calling a friend by stage name } have you ever thought... about being forgotten by the public?

I… (; she sighs. if it was just up to her, rationally, she knows she probably should just get on with her life and move on. it’s been so long since her last boyfriend, but she can’t help but still wonder at times if that guy still thinks of her sometimes. if he turns the television on, and smiles when he sees her on. the thought itself, still makes her blush–but then it’s not like they’ve had any form of contact at all for so many years. does she want to forget him? she wants to say yes, but deep inside she isn’t sure ) I should, shouldn’t I? (; she answers instead with nervous laughter ) Aaaah–! (; she squeals out of frustration, feet kicking the air as she tightens her hold on her stuffed toy ) But I really do want to move on to the better part already! (; she bolts upright into a sitting position and glances across towards hyejeong’s side of the room ) why can’t cute guys ask for my number?! That would be a start– (; laughs, knowing how desperate her words sound ) But yah! Yah- what about you.. you’re the one who’s going to be starting a love soon apparently.. a weak one but– (; giggles ) What do you think about that, huh?!

[ivhyejeong]

{/ her eyes falters slightly towards the bed sheet as if it’s the most interesting she can see for now while she thinks; currently, hyejeong doesn’t have any man she’s interested in other than celebrity crushes or whatever description she has to think of when someone asks her who’s her ideal man during broadcast, she thinks it’s not a good time to have a boyfriend, especially after what the fortune teller had told her about love } Better part... yes! You’re Kwon Mina, AOA Mina! You’re on the right path... and you’re going to that better part of life soon. you really just focus on that and I’m sure no boy can resist you in the future! {/ she flashes another big smile, this one more on the encouraging side } I’m pretty sure some boys has been asking for your number... but if anyone cute asks me, should I give them right away? {/ a chuckle escapes from her lips } Oh, me... do you think a weak love is better than none? {/ hyejeong let her head falls back onto the pillow with her eyes glancing towards the other } I’m not sure if I want to start if it’s weak... It might lead to catastrophe...

Of course! I remember it very well as it was one of the most special days in my life. I remember that I didn’t eat anything beforehand... Just a simple triangle kimbap that I had to stuffed down because I would’ve not had the energy if I didn’t. Thankfully, I only had that.

이. Who was your biggest celebrity influence growing up?

g.o.d!! Because of them, I started to get the idea of becoming a singer... turns out I did achieve that.

I was six when I watched g.o.d on tv (and it was my turning point to like them) even though the dream was a little sidetracked until I got the interest in modeling and got scouted.

meatballs? • smh;shj

[ivmino]

There isn’t really much to do while standing in queue and it was one often one of the most disliked parts of the process to getting food for Mino. But then again, it was always a good time to observe the people around him, which was basically what he was doing at the moment–it’d always helped him somehow make his mind up on the things that he would try out to eat upon noticing other people’s choices. This time however, he ended up noticing more and more how impatient the girl in front of him was looking.

As the line moved, he would see the girl craning her neck toward to the direction of the food table, as if she was also eager and curious on the popular food items of the day. He didn’t blame her of course, after all he was doing the same and plus, he knew and had often heard about how girl groups had to watch their diet carefully, so it was only understandable to get excited about eating when the chance presents itself, he was in the same type of predicament after all. Seungyoon had always had the tenancy to nag at him when he ate too much, which further gave Mino the idea that he should probably finish eating first before getting back to the waiting room. What Seungyoon doesn’t know, he won’t nag about. It was a full proof plan.

After coming up with his brilliant plan, he was even more excited about the prospect of eating from the buffet. He’d already had his eyes set on the meatballs–it seemed to be quite a popular dish amongst his fellow idols, a couple of pieces of the sushi and finally the pork cutlets which seemed to be going fast too. He could feel the nervousness and the hunger pitting in his stomach and if someone was standing close enough to him, they would have probably heard him gasp when he witness with his own eyes, the last of the meatballs being taken by the girl who had lined up in front of him. I thought we had a connection you know, being this excited about food and all. For some reason, it almost felt like the girl had heard his internal thoughts and laid off taking any of the remaining food items on his wishlist.

He groans internally of course, when he notices that the only somewhat free table in the catering area was the same as meatball-stealer–God was testing him with the meatballs, so close but yet so far. But, seeing as that table was the most vacant one–the others had long been taken up by the various groups and staff attending, and seeing as Mino knew hardly anyone else at the concert, he had no choice to go up to the girl and ask, “Is this seat taken? Are you expecting anyone else to sit here, or would it be ok for me to take a seat?”

[ivhyejeong]

There was some sort of a weird feeling as she walked away from the buffet, like people resenting her back. Hyejeong was too scared to looked over her shoulders and see who were the ones shooting daggers to her back but she couldn’t even pin pointed what did she do to deserved it. As she was starting to take a bite of a potato chunk, the male who queued behind her looked as if he was walking towards the table. Her eyes quickly shifted away to avoid any awkward stares that she thought just happened in movies.

“Huh...”, the question caught her off guard but a few seconds later, the girl waved her hand towards the empty chairs. “No-- No one else is coming! Unless... My members come here without saying anything.”, her voice got quieter towards the end. It was pretty new to have a member of a male group approached her so cooly and suddenly. Hyejeong was used to eat in one table with males from her company but from some other company, some other group? Shyness definitely roiled inside her belly. “You... are not eating with your own members?”, the atmosphere between the two was ice cold and Hyejeong couldn’t stand it. Without looking right at him, she just focused on the dishes that neatly placed on his plate and his mouth as if the female could just figured out what he said from lip reading. 

She continued to eat the chunk of potato in silent and anticipation to the story he could shared with her, at least to melt away the awkwardness. Hyejeong wasn’t good with small talks and awkwardness. There really was no need for introduction as she knew who he was (Song Mino from Winner, went on Show Me The Money) and how she had seen him various times on TV. Never so much across from her, eating a piece of pork cutlet with his eyes also focusing on his food.

meatballs? • smh;shj

09 APRIL 2016 • JAPAN

starter for @ivhyejeong

To say that Japan felt like a second home was really a understatement. Out of the 12 months of the year, in between tours and promotions, it honestly felt like they were in Japan for more that half of the year. So it was only natural that he’d long been able to accustom himself to the tastes of Japanese food and he even found himself to crave Japanese food once in a while. His members and some members of the staff, not so much–which is why they had opted to stay behind in the waiting room before the start of the show and Mino was out and about, he’d heard members of the staff talk about the nice catering the organizers had brought in and it was only polite to check out the options, wasn’t it?

It’d been a while since they’d last been back in Japan though, and he definitely couldn’t remember back to the last time he was even part of such a big concert event with other fellow idols. Making his way to the catering area was already such a task in itself and Mino had almost given up and wanted to go back to the Winner’s waiting room, where it was spacious and he didn’t have to worry about getting his stage outfit dirty. But the moment he walked into the catering area and when he was greeted with all the vast selection of food laid out on the table, he deemed the effort to be worth it. The area was already filled with other idols–and secretly Mino thought it was an amusing sight really, all these idols, in their stage outfits, standing and waiting in line after each other while holding their plastic plates, waiting for their turn to get the food. But still, this doesn’t stop him from grabbing a plastic plate of his own and lining up behind a girl sporting what almost looks like a school uniform, tapping her heel on the floor, looking just as impatient to get to the food as him.

[ivhyejeong]

Performing in Japan wasn’t a new thing for the group but somehow the nervousness always lingered for Hyejeong. It was all about remembering the tweaked lyrics and the dance moves despite she had done it more than a hundred times already. Everything just had to be perfect. The girl sighed as she clutched the plastic plate near her chest and queuing in line for the food, seeing there were a few more people until she get to the start of the buffet. Everywhere she looked in the room, it was mostly filled with idols and a few staff. The shyness crept up her cheeks, leaving rosy tints and her sight fell slightly downwards.

Once the line moved, she took her few steps forward and finally came in contact with the line of food. Everything looked delicious and Hyejeong could felt the tiny vibration of her stomach, wanting to be fed. Her eyes glanced to the side to see a member of a popular boy group behind her, smiling politely as she took the serving spoon of potatoes and sautèd vegetables next. There were talks about the meatballs with sauce around the milling idols in the hallway and once Hyejeong had seen the serving of the said dish, her eyes twinkled in delight.

Curiosity definitely bubbled in her and as she saw there were only a few left, she took no chance to just had them all. She was taught that it was better to not leave scraps for people because no one really liked scraps. Besides, the caterer would’ve probably had the next batch coming right up. After satisfied with potatoes, vegetables and all that was left of the meatballs, she sauntered off to a nearby empty table, away from the people with her shyness.
