It’s been ages since Soyoun last performed in a music show. It almost feels like meeting an old friend she hadn’t seen in a while. Sure, they will eventually get to the point wherein this seems like another day at work, but Soyoun wants to enjoy the novelty of it all before reality, disillusionment, and fatigue all kick in. For a fast-paced industry like this one, Soyoun knows the importance of momentum and making every moment count. Besides, this will probably be one of her last stages as a trainee before she debuts with a permanent group. It’s a good chance to make a good first impression and show everyone why ‘Scream’ rightfully won.
Besides, it’s also Soyoun’s chance to prove to her fans and her haters that she deserves both her MVP title and her spot in the debut group.
Despite all this, Soyoun is aware that not everyone has the luxury of being confirmed in the team just yet. Just like her best friend Allie. She had always hoped they’d get to promote together, and this is sort of a wish come true. However, Allie is still fighting for a spot in the lineup. It doesn’t help that she’s also going through some personal stuff. Soyoun can only hope that being here for Allie will help her friend focus on the competition and do her very best.
“Of course, I do, Allie,” Soyoun says with a smile. She immediately knows what’s happening, but she’ll let Allie pretend. As long as it helps Allie focus on the matter at hand. She solemnly swears she will get her hands on [redacted] when their paths cross. “We should probably wait for both Danbi and Tsuki, so all four of us can go together. While waiting, want to go watch some artists’ stages?”
₊ ˟ if there’s someone that allie knows that she can count on, it’s soyoun. she always knows how to support her even when allie hides pieces of herself behind her smile, and soyoun never asks. that’s the most important thing - she knows how to handle allie’s weakest moments and just what allie needs to cheer up a little.
usually, that involves doing something - anything - to keep her mind off the problem at hand when it’s not something that she can solve just by hard work. considering that they’re promoting on a music show right now, something that allie’s never had the chance to do even in spite of all the legacy family concerts, there’s plenty to do that will help to keep her attention. with soyoun in tow, hopefully she won’t dwell on things too much.
“ of course. they’re still held up by the stylists, right?” allie asks quietly, looking around her and not finding team scream’s group mates. “ where should we go watch the stages ..? is there a viewing area or something?” the tone of her voice is curious and light as her eyes look around the busy backstage. “ i’ve never been to a music show before so i don’t want to get in anyone’s way.”
