"Hey, don't say that out-loud, or you'll start believing it. If I say you're charming, I genuinely think that you are." He states firmly, maintaining eye-contact with the man far longer than he should and forcing his eyes to round out into a comical expression. He blinks, facing ahead to admire the people laid out on blankets on the grass. "But I suppose being humble about it gives you another notch." His tone shifts to a teasing kind, smile forming naturally when he spots a toddler chasing a bird.

"Actually, now that you mention an end goal..." He tilts his head, returning his attention to the man beside him. "I do realize that I have matured a bit, or maybe I've been humbled by life." He snorts at the realization, crossing his arms over his chest. "I think what I am looking for is stability, which again... Who have I become? I want to eventually get to a place where the music speaks for itself, and I have been thinking of getting an MBA too."

"oh, well yes, sir." he offers, a laugh and a grin escaping him, though he knows that noeul is pretty serious about it. it's his mother's teachings seeping in when he least expects it, and even though he thinks he's proved her wrong by now... he sometimes wonders. at least she doesn't constantly look at him with disappointment, now. he looks forward too, a sigh escaping him. watching people with normal lives makes him miss it for a brief moment, before he hears noeul and shrugs, chuckling lowly. "i suppose so. sometimes i wish i wasn't though. must be nice to have so much confidence you know? that no one can tell you a thing." he offers with a soft sigh.

he looks back over, curious about his words, nodding with a hum as he sits back on his elbows, letting the words absorb with the sun on his skin. he grins slowly, gnawing on his lip. "and you decided to become an idol? what do you want to get an mba in?"

the first thing hyuk noticed was jasper’s red ears, which brought his carefree and laid back laughter and words rolling off his mouth laced with teasing, “look who’s shy now…you were thinking of obscene things, leader-nin!”. hyuk would never be that intimate with someone if they hadn’t had a past, so he knew jasper wouldn’t consider that crossing a line. “i’m just teasing you, breaking the ice.”

there was a moment of silence after some time, when he noticed that, despite their light conversation, there was still some seriousness around it, because it was all new territory for them, their careers were at stake, and he didn’t want to jeopardize that.

“i know”, he shook their hands, a more normal, faint smile covering his lips. “it makes sense, we should all take care of each other in the end. producers, managers, and every staff member are important, but they don’t know what we’ve all been through. so if we can’t trust each other, then all of this doesn’t mean a thing.”

hyuk leaned closer, not caring about their hierarchy between him and jasper and kissed his forehead, softly, “thanks for making this less heavy, jas”

so much had changed. he never imagined he'd be here, fully performing a job so... public and as intense as this one, and yet he couldn't imagine himself quite doing anything else, not for a bit. and now, here he was, crossing paths with hyuk once again, the tiny red string of fate, pulling them together,-- not only in the same company, but in the same group. what were the odds?

he smiles, a littler harder nudge. "aish, shut up." he says but he's even redder, and his head tilts back laughter filling and a rare one at that. he offers a soft hum before he lets the silence fill, and it isn't uncomfortable-- just what what it was.

"exactly, i agree." he offers, before he's smiling softly, genuinely. "you're welcome. come on. i'll buy you food, and as your leader, you can't object."

"I could actually see you acting..." He voices out loud, eyebrow quirking with curiosity at what roles would be a good match for Jasper. Although, the point of acting was to take up roles that weren't typecast, and he knew that the man beside him would absolutely enjoy the challenge regardless. He had his own experience in acting in short series, and even had a cameo role once, but he was looking for more roles behind the scenes at the moment. "I hope that you do get the chance to go after a role, or if you voice it often enough, someone is bound to offer you a role too?"

"I think your innate charm is definitely something you should lean on." He states with a smile, gently patting the man on the back. "The industry seems quite vast, but what I've learn is that it's honestly a small pond and everyone is bound to be intertwined. You might meet a comedian at a variety show who knows a film director. If you make an impression on them, you never know what might happen. That isn't to say that you can't do it with your own merit, because of course, you can do about anything."

lgcxjasper

its something that surprises him -- that makes his ears tint with the faintest shade of pink and he tries to hide the smile that wants to form on already upturned lips. acting had been something he's been wanting to get into, but of course, he had other things to attend to. now that things were... 'calmer' in a way, he was hoping he could expand in that avenue, and he was glad it didn't seem outlandish.

he nods in agreement, shrugging. "i hope so, but i'm enjoying performing to. i'm figuring... when the time comes, it comes, eh?" he says, his heart light. but then noeul continues and makes him laugh a bit. "aish... i'm not that charming." he starts, but his chewing on his lip. "the industry is small, though. i'm hoping it'll open a few doors. what about you though? what do you want to do? what's the... end goal, i should say."

﹫bakkkdownz jazz oppa, you did so well! i'm so happy he's getting even more chances to highlight his skills and show that he can do it all. there's a reason he can go anywhere and fill anything he needs to in the group 💬 🔁 ♡ ﹫imposibrr i wish they would stop trying to shove this guy down our throats. they want him to be the next big thing but i just don't get that spark from him. he can be a pretty face all he wants, but it doesn't stop the fact that he's just not that interesting to watch. 💬 🔁 ♡

"ah, see that's the problem." but it's clear he's teasing her, though he made a mental note to make sure she had some of what he had brought. he had planned to take some home, but that had been easily scraped the second she had admitted to her lack of sustenance. he didn't mind. he'd make sure to grab some back on his way to the dorms, and maybe he could grab something for the members, too. he glances at the instructions, then back at the piece with a bit of a his brow furrowed. he might have to put a little bit of elbow grease, which was just fine by him. "that's alright, we'll just.... start over." he clasps his hands together, before he's nodding, more at himself than anything, and is deciding he'll take it apart and see where to go from there. he was happy to let cherry watch. he was a gentleman, after all-- and while he was sure cherry was more than capable-- he wanted to take of it. so he grins her way as he's hearing her, chuckling lowly. "that sounds like a perfect plan. make sure you eat well, too." the question comes and he thinks briefly. "good. it's been a long day ahead, but ... good. busy, you know. all we do these days is prepare for promotions... and we lose some guys. but all we can do is keep going, right?"

cherry started this project very well aware of the fact that she would probably fail. which can make you think, she’s hardworking and never gives up, or that she’s an idiot for even trying. there was close to no hope in cherry as she attempted to build it, and the further she got, the more wrong it looked. honestly, cherry probably shouldn’t live alone, she’s clumsy and has the brain of a goldfish. she got her own place so she could spend time alone with her girlfriend, that was it, and now that said girlfriend was no longer a girlfriend nor a part of cherry’s life.

“i think starting over is probably a good idea” she nods “i believe i did something wrong about.. the start, i would guess, and then just, everything following the start i probably did wrong too” she pouts for a second, but after eating a bite of food, the smile on her lips is back. “thank you jasper, it’s nice not to worry about food and where to get it, i’ll have you come over more often if it means free food” she chuckles “sorry!” another chuckle “i’ll pay next time we eat together”.

“life at legacy is busy” she nods.

he had to admit, it was nice to do something a little bit different. he had been doing nothing but going-- even when he was told to stop. he couldn't ever really *stop* though. it didn't feel right, and even though the 'hard' part of debuting was over and such, now he had a whole different hill to climb in the sense of making sure to prove why he had in the first place. but now, he could just-- well. fix whatever had went wrong with this. it was a bit endearing, how she had managed to get herself in such a conundrum.

he grins a bit, looking over but he's shrugging. "don't worry. that's why i'm here." he offers, and with a determined exhale, seems to start taking it apart so he can figure out how to put it back together again. "don't thank me, really." he says, chuckling a bit lowly. "you've got to keep your strength up, yeah?" he offers as he looks over with a big grin and shakes his head. "i won't take the money. i don't mind, really."

“crazy is good, you were pretty wild back in the days.” hyunk found himself chuckling at the memories of the two of them meeting, and then having the absolute great time in london. “i think i still have a certain video of you at a certain bar being a bless to my eyes”, he teased jasper, bumping their knees together.

it was good to feel that way again, to have someone he knew for some time in the same group. not that hyuk was scared he was going to feel like a lonely wolf once he got to debut, but to have someone he knew was definitely a bonus.

“well babe, i will trust you as my leader. i’ll work my best to not disappoint our public and our group. i just don’t wanna make a fool of myself, can you please put me on a leash if i do it?” there was a pout on his lips and some teasing in his voice, and even hyuk couldn’t help but laugh after some time, “please don’t think obscene things...”

lgcxjasper

"aish.... you--" the way he speaks is low, not necessarily out of embarrassment, but he can feel the way his ears are turning a familiar shade of red anyway. the nudge that accompanies him is light, airy, and familiar, and suddenly, it doesn't feel like they're adults really, anymore. it still feels like they are young, in london, discovering things together. so much time had passed and he thinks one thing he appreciates, out of many, with hyuk, is the familiarity he give him. something akin to home that he always reaches for.

the next words says jasper knows he's serious, at least halfway, but his comment makes his head tilt back, sharp teeth showing, shaking his head as he tries to be serious about it all. "you brought it up! i wasn't even thinking about that-- how kinky are you??" he offers, but there is still a lightness to his tone, something he doesn't think he's shown in a while.

he nods after a while, nudging him again. "i promise. i'll scold you like i would anyone else-- with care, but seriousness. and if you do mess up you won't have to just answer to me... but the rest of the team. that makes sense right?"

"yeah of course." his brow furrows as he remembers what he purchased-- the truth be told was that he had probably went a bit overboard, as he usually did. he was not only treating her though, but himself in a lot of ways-- he had been super mindful of what he was eating, taking care in how he looked-- but he was off. he was going to enjoy himself for once. no one could tell him not to. he steps inside with a chuckle, watching her with a smirk before he's moving to set the things in the kitchen, cracking his neck, feigning about the hard work. then, eyes slowly see the product and he tilts his head. "oh, well that's certainly something, isn't it." he offers, nodding. "well. you just sit there, then. i'll take it from here. how you've been otherwise?"

eating had lately become something cherry often forgot, not on purpose though. she still can’t cook, like… she still sucks total ass at cooking, but it’s too much work to go to the convenience store every day for a meal to eat. she should probably start ordering food, or better, start learning how to cook. “i’ve been building on an empty stomach, that might be why it hasn’t gone to plan… that sounds like a reasonable reason!” (truth is cherry, you just suck at building).

“yeah… it doesn’t really look like a picture” she bites her lip “it more so… looks like an ancient torture device or something, i have no idea how i managed to mess up so badly” she shrugs, sitting on her couch (which at the moment, it still just a mattress on the floor that she calls a couch), and begins eating some of the food jasper brought along. “yeah i’ll just be your cheerleader on the sideline, you got this jasper!”.

‘how have you been’, a question she wished she could answer the truth to, because she’s been doing terrible ever since the break up. “fine enough” is still the answer she lands on “what about you?”.

He softly laughs at Jasper's confession, but the amusement was directly mostly towards himself. He had completely underestimated his members' exhaustion, but the young man especially had managed to mask it so gracefully. It made him realize that he should act in a more supportive role and be more present for their promotions. He could still turn things around, and be present with Jasper.

"I feel guilty that I can't relate to your level of exhaustion, but thank you for being honest." He states while the corner of his lips tug upwards to flash a smile in Jasper's direction. He had lucked out with his song having no choreography, which was ironic for his skill-set, but he was appreciative for the opportunity to work with an established artist that he looked up to. He briefly pats the man's shoulder, reaching down with the other hand to lift the camera. "For some reason, I like to film more than actually shoot photography..." It was probably one of the reasons that he tended to remain on shoots, observing the director and production staff. "If I coerce you into shooting a lyric video one day, don't be shocked..."

lgcxjasper

he should have been surprised by their pick, but when he truly thought about it, it seemed right on brand for the company they were under-- always pushing, evolving, wanting to stretch muscles that could probably use it. jasper wasn't the best dancer in the group, which was exactly why he had gotten bounce. the performance part wasn't the hard part of it, nor was the singing. but the rapping, dancing, and putting it all together? that had taken some practice, and by some, he means hours of staring at himself in the mirror, making sure angles were right. so its safe to say that a break was more than warranted.

"aish, don't feel guilty." he offers with a shrug, and his smile is light, playful. he means it too. he was enjoying watching noeul and this side of him. it seemed like it was a growth opportunity for them all, even hyuk. he yawns a bit, moving to playfully nudge at him as he sees a particular flower and moves to snap a few photos. the confession has him perking up. "oh? well you know i won't complain about that. i... think i want to get into a bit of acting, actually, so i'd like to be on film."

in bloom

Spring had sprung without warning for him. He couldn't wrap his mind that a season was ending, and a new one was beginning. For once, he didn't want to stop time, or fast forward to an end. He wanted to enjoy the calm moments during their promotions, which unsurprisingly was incredibly rare for him and the members. After their manager informed them that there was a lull in their schedule, @lgcxjasper and him had agreed to find the closest park and enjoy the cherry blossom trees during the peak of its blooming period.

"I'm tempted to rent out bikes..." He confesses with a soft laugh when a couple flies by the pair in a tandem bike. "Just not that one. I feel like I lack the coordination for that bike." He could see the activity to be either a bonding experience, or a travesty. It was better the two of them didn't tempt fate and end up in an emergency room. "I brought my camera, but we should take some pictures with our phone too, right?"

lgcxjasper

he thinks the only time he's gotten to really enjoy the sun, really absorb the necessary vitamin d was the first thing in the morning, taking a deep breath before the other members wake and they were back to doing normal schedules. other than that, with all the promoting they were doing, the only other time he got to really enjoy it was when he was going from building to the van-- though he's not sure that with all the cameras and screams it really counted. the rare breath they had in between all the busy things they were up to had him going outside with noeul. he was going to take advantage of the fact spring had actually come.

he had bought his camera, wiping the dust of it, and it hangs around his neck as they explore. it was a rare time to just quite literally smell the flowers, and jasper nods. "ah, we should. though i feel like my legs are already jello from promoting." he admits with a laugh, tilting the back of his head. "mm we can make it a little photoshoot. i didn't know you had a camera. you do photography?"

there was this feeling of closeness between them when two friends just shared too much, and they had so many inside jokes that everyone else in the room would just stare at them for a while, trying to learn about whatever they meant. hyuk liked that feeling; he normally didn’t have many close friends, ones he could really share things with, but he was glad jasper was one of them.

“boo, don’t rain on my parade. even our leader should go crazy one day”, and to prove his point, he threw his arms up, shaking them in a ridiculous self-made choreography. “i’ll make our days brighter, trust me.”

hyuk didn’t want to make things heavy, to show his worries, but jasper was asking, and he didn’t feel like lying to him. after all, honesty was always something hyuk took pride of. “you know, to debut was something i took for granted for a long time. i guess that’s why it took me forever to debut. and i learned my lesson, i realized that i really loved this, really wanted this. so, it feels weird now, you know. i’m afraid that people won’t like me, that i won’t be good enough for this path. am i being stupid?”

lgcxjasper

red strings of fate were dumb, or at least, that was something he had always thought about them before. he didn't believe in coincidences, either, ironically. but the fact that once again, he and hyuk were meeting-- first across the pond, then with jasper turning up in the company, and now, in a funny twist of fate-- in the same group. well-- maybe there weren't small things such as coincidences after all. it seemed a bit too good to be true.

"ah, i think crazy would be a relief." he offers, wide grin before his head is tilting back in laughter. "mm we do need a happy bean. i think that's perfectly where you fit. you shouldn't have to change yourself-- please, don't." he murmurs, swallowing a bit before he's sighing once more.

he listens, too. each worry he feels at the edge of hyuk's voice, but he didn't have all the answers-- some things jasper was figuring out. "you'll have people that like you-- and people that down. i don't... think we're immune to any of that, i'm afraid. but you shouldn't listen to them. there's a reason you're here."
