❝ What are you worried about, what are you afraid of?❞
“What am I worried about? Hm..” Sooyoung pauses for a moment, in thought. “That’s a tough one, I guess. I’m worried about not being pretty enough, and I worry about how the public will judge me.” She nods once, before continuing. “As for what I’m afraid of, I’ll have to be honest, and say cockroaches, and the dark.”
“Join me as… the sixth member of Red Velvet? Of course you can! I don’t know how Taeyeon will feel about you leaving SNSD for us, but I’m sure Joohyun and Seulgi won’t mind you joining us. As long as you don’t mind being older than our leader, that is. We could certainly use another strong vocalist, so I’m not opposed. You could even form a subunit with Wendy and Seulgi!”
Ah, it's Joy! I finally got the time to listen to The Red, and it's so upbeat and happy that it instantly lifts my day(s). Congrats on the #1 place also, you guys deserve the best~ ( ` he smiles widely, moving along to the dumb dumb dance he still had playing in his head. )
Taemin, hi! It’s lovely to see you again. I’m so glad you got to listen to it, and I’m even happier to hear that you like it! Thank you so much for supporting Red Velvet, it really means alot to us, especially because you’re a much more experience artist than us. {/she nods once, before smiling brightly} Oh, I see you’ve been learning some of our choreography! {/she starts dancing with him, laughing a little} Would you ever consider joining Red Velvet as our 6th member? We could always use an extra person to even up our number!

█ ▌⅋ – It was not common for Mami to spend the night tossing and turning, waking up in the morning as tired as she had that day. She often slept with ease through the night, but for some reason, she was kept up. Perhaps her mind was telling her to stay alert, or maybe she just had too much caffeine the day before. So when she woke up finally, she had been exhausted. It was just before 6:00, and she had to get ready for her work day. Once she had showered, dressed, and gathered all her necessities, she headed out to the bus stop, where she’d take the bus to the school she worked for. She hadn’t expected to be as tired as she was, and when she stood on the bus, she swayed even without the influence of motion, her head dipping forward as if she had no energy to hold it up. Then, a kind voice broke the silence around her. Glancing down, she saw a young girl with a bright expression offering her seat, and she felt a bit guilty as the girl began to stand.
“ Are you sure..? I’m quite alright if you’re
tired too, I don’t mind standing for a little
longer. ”
Sooyoung hadn’t been on a public bus in years. Ever since she’d gotten into the entertainment industry, she’d given up almost all aspects of her previously “regular” life. On most mornings, if she wasn’t within walking distance, her manager would take it upon himself to personally drive either herself or her group to wherever they needed to be, regardless of how long it took, or how much traffic there was. Today, however, Sooyoung had decided to go out on a limb, and try catching a bus by herself. She didn’t have anywhere she needed to be, so Sooyoung had reasoned that she’d be able to make a day out of visiting her parents, and maybe even drop by her younger sister’s high school, just to say hello. Sooyoung had been one of the first to board her bus, but it had filled very quickly. In fear of being recognised, she’d refrained from using her phone, but instead took note of the people around her. ‘People-Watching’ had always been an unusual habit of hers, but she’d never seen anything wrong in wanting to admire strangers. Sooyoung’s eye had been caught by one girl in particular, who looked youthful, but incredibly fatigued. As Sooyoung watched her from the corner of her eye, she noticed that the girl was swaying from side to side, and looked as if she’d stayed up all night. Maybe she was a university student who had an assignment due by today, or maybe she was an aspiring actress, who had stayed up all night studying films. Whatever she’d been doing, Sooyoung realised that the girl probably needed the seat Sooyoung was sitting in more than she did herself, and took it upon herself to kindly offer her seat. What’s the worst that could happen? She offered her seat to the girl, as she stood. The girl politely refused, but Sooyoung continued to insist.
“Really, it’s alright! Please, don’t take this the wrong way, but you look like you need the seat, much more than I do.” Sooyoung nodded once, before gesturing to the seat before her.
“Do tell me if I’m being too impolite for asking, but are you feeling okay? You’ve been swaying so much, I was getting a little worried about you.”
"heard you guys won on the show. as expected, red velvet! congratulations!
“we did!” sooyoung replies, nodding excitedly. “thank you so much for your support, it’s really encouraging to have such experienced seniors, such as yourself and the rest of your group, cheering us on. red velvet will always be supporting snsd, too!”

Ahyoung winces at the other’s condition before shaking her head a couple of times. Although the former was already known for being clumsy, she has never experienced tumbling down the stairs twice in a row. It was either she hurts her ankle then injures her hand the following week or she hurts her ankle then bumps her head on the wall - never the same incident twice. And here is her friend, probably the successor of her title for being careless.
“Then, it was ‘The Fault In Our Stairs’ starring Park Sooyoung?” Ahyoung laughed lightly, leaning back into her seat. “I guess you should have it checked again. It’ll be hard to dance like that-”
“’The Fault In Our Stairs’? Honestly, you’re too funny for your own good.” Sooyoung replied, before laughing. “But, I guess I will have to get it checked by a doctor, it really is hurting a lot.” Sooyoung looked down at her ankle again, and winced at how swollen it had become. “My manager’s going to kill me when he sees this! I have no idea what to do now.” Sooyoung sighed, and quickly slipped her phone out of her pocket to check the time. She knew Ahyoung didn’t have much longer until her broadcast was scheduled to start, but Sooyoung really needed someone to help her make her way back to her dorm. Ahyoung had been a good friend of hers for awhile now, but would she go out of her way to help Sooyoung home? Sooyoung looked up from her phone, and flashed Ahyoung her cutest smile. “Ahyoungie, I know you don’t have much time to spare, but do you think you could help me get home, please? If I ring my manager and ask him to drive me back, he’ll find out about my ankle...”
Sooyoung looks down at her phone, and sighs. It’d been almost half an hour since she’d gotten to the studio, and, despite one incredibly vague (and, in her opinion, slightly concerning) text message from Yeri, she hadn’t been in contact with anybody else, and had no idea where the rest of her group were. She’d already been through ‘Dumb Dumb’ twice, and ‘Huff n Puff’ once, but she found it hard to stay centered and work on transitions without anyone else there, and had reasoned that any further practice would be worthless. So, she decided instead to just, well, wait it out. Sooyoung looks up from her phone for a moment and blinks, staring aimlessly at a wall. She doesn’t really think about anything, but she lets her mind go, until it’s as blank as the wall she’s slowly becoming acquainted with. That’s when it hits her. “I know what I can do!” Sooyoung blurts suddenly, a little too loud for her liking, but who cares? It’s not like anyone heard her, did they? She quickly unlocks her phone, and searches hurriedly through her apps, until she finds the one she’s looking for, and taps on it. Sooyoung turns around to face the wall length mirror, and fixes her hair a little, before turning back around. Luckily for her, Joohyun had given her the group login for the video app just yesterday, but it takes Sooyoung a moment to remember the password. Once she does, she types it in, and smiles hopefully at her phone, as the little icon spins around and around. She’d never admit it, but Sooyoung isn’t as ‘technologically advanced’ as she’d like to be, and has no idea how this app works, but she hopes for the best, and as her face suddenly appears before her on her screen, she thinks she’s doing it right. Sooyoung lifts up one of her arms to achieve the perfect camera angle, before standing up and slowly walking around the room, until she finds the right place the stand, with the ideal lighting. She fixes her hair one more time, and practices a few smiles, before tapping the [RECORD] icon, and starting her video.
“Happiness! Hello everyone, I’m Red Velvet’s fresh face, Joy!” Sooyoung says happily, smiling brightly. “I’m all alone today... Have you seen my group members?” Sooyoung brings a hand to her face, pretending to look shocked as she looks left and right, before continuing. “Irene, where are you? Wendy, are you there? Seulgi, Yeri, come out from where you’re hiding!” Sooyoung thinks for a moment, not sure what to say next, before covering a sudden nervous laugh with her hand. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. “Today, I practiced ‘Huff n Puff’ by myself.” Sooyoung stutters, unsure of what to say next. “I will sing you some of it now, as a gift to the fans.” She takes a deep breath, before flashing an adorable grin, and singing. She only sings the first few lines of the chorus, but becomes quickly embarrassed, and stops, apologising profusely. “I’ve turned as red as our new album! Ah, this is so embarrassing...” Sooyoung looks down for a second, still embarrassed, before looking back up at the camera, and smiling awkwardly. “That’s all for now, everyone. Thank you for your time! Red Velvet, fighting!”
Sooyoung taps the [STOP] icon, and sighs. Was that too short? Was her singing okay? That’d only taken her a few minutes, but it’d felt like a lifetime. She thoughtfully titles the video ‘Huff N Puff’, before giving it a short description, and uploading it. Sooyoung doesn’t think twice about it, but as soon as it’s uploaded, the comments start pouring in, and her phone almost freezes, before she can log out of her group’s account, and close the app again. Suddenly, the practice room door clicks open and Sooyoung flinches, turning around to see who it is. Yeri slides through the door, a bottle of soju in both hands, followed by Wendy and Seulgi, carrying copious boxes of chicken, and finally Joohyun, with a cake box balanced in one hand, and the other holding the door open. Sooyoung notices a card wedged between Joohyun’s hand and the cake box, the words ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ embossed and prettily decorated across the front of it. What was the date, again? Sooyoung looks down at her phone for a second; the date reads September 3. She looks back up at the rest of her group, confused. Wendy looks as if she’s about to say something, but before she can, Sooyoung interrupts her. “Wait, guys, whose birthday is it again? I forgot to buy a gift! Oh dear, I’m such a bad--” She’s cut off by Yeri, who laughs a little too viciously for Sooyoung’s liking. Wendy shakes her head, and Joohyun and Seulgi smile at each other, holding back giggles. “What’s so funny? Huh... Oh, I remember now, it’s my birthday!”
Sooyoung almost breaks down the door as she stumbles into the front area of the SM Entertainment building. She’d been out at a nearby park, enjoying the peace and quiet, when the skies had (quite rudely, in her opinion) decided to open, and it had started to pour with rain.
“Ugh, my socks are soaked!” she mutters to herself, as she storms through the building, and up to one of the practice rooms to dry off. She takes her phone out of her pocket, and starts flicking through notifications aimlessly, as she wanders the hallways, still dripping wet. What she doesn’t expect is to accidentally run into one of her seniors, and knock him over. The knock makes Sooyoung look up from her phone, and as soon as she sees what she’s just done, a look of shock almost immediately crosses her features. She offers her hand out to him, trying to cover her guilt with a smile, but she doubts it’ll work. “K-Kibum? I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”
