“I struggled during dance practice today. This cape made me clumsy and I nearly tripped a few times,” he grinned as he admitted all of this. “I went from one of the graceful dancers to one of the most disruptive. Nearly fell on another trainee too.” Yonghwa’s eyes went to her shoes. “Speaking of outfit trouble, you must be suffering from those killer heels. At least the day is almost over. Want to have dinner with Kiyoung and me later? We were thinking about treating ourselves to some high carb, high fat and not much of anything else hamburgers.”

     sure, it was an uncomfortable outfit that yujin squeezed herself into but with the way yonghwa respectfully spoke of her costume, it made the young woman feel at ease. possibly ignoring the fact that he’s taken notice in her figure. “you think so? that’s sweet of you to say, though i’m not a fan of how sweaty i’m getting in this outfit.” she let out a breathless laugh, wanting nothing more than to unzip and be free but she’ll do so in the privacy of her dorm.

     for now, she’ll unzip her boots and take them off, allowing herself to feel some kind of release. 

     “i’ve struggled and i know my feet hate me at this very moment, but i needed to feel comfortable dancing in heels more often so i guess this wasn’t all too bad.” she didn’t want to complain too much, only to be grateful that the company is having a little bit of fun with the trainees and pulling. . .unbelivable tricks on them. “high fat and carbs?” a question that caused an eyebrow to furrow. she already broke her diet once with rina, could she really risk doing that again? “i’ll tag along but maybe i’ll be able to eat something that’s not so. . .greasy and fattening. you spoke of my figure and if i continue to break my own diet, it won’t be here for much longer.” yujin tried making a joke to lighten up her own mood and hopefully not to worry the male.

          yujin’s easy to find – again, a slick black bodysuit?  hard to miss.  he comes up from behind, quietly, quietly, and leans down just a bit to be a breath closer to her ear.  “thought you’d go for peggy carter,”  he drawls before drawing back up and making his way around to the other side of the table.  “y’know, since you’re old-fashioned and a bit of a prude.”  they both know that’s a lie, but who’s checking?

     it was a long thinking process, whether if she was brave enough to wear something so revealing to her company - if she could even last the day with all the eyes on her. so was she surprised to see ezra’s lingering eyes, how he took an extra few minutes to size the young woman up. all she could do was roll her eyes, keeping her words back for another time - a time when she can grill him for getting in trouble even after she warned him.

     men never seemed to listen, even when they knew a woman was right.

     she rarely ate lunch in this cafeteria. only ever eating her little snacks in between practice and taking a power nap in the lounge. though, due to her uncomfortable circumstances, she benefited from sitting there and keeping quiet; staying in her own little world. even if that only lasted a few minutes before a voice crowded her mind. . .an annoying one at that. it’s not like yujin was avoiding the male, she was just playing her part in whatever relationship they had and with recent activities - she didn’t want to be alone with him for too long. 

      the nails on her gloves tabled gently on the table, eyes following his figure until he was seated in front of her. “being the help really suits you.” finally speaking up, ignoring his remarks like she always did in order to not go off in public. nobody needed to hear or see the way she acted with him. “by the way, can’t you sit somewhere else? i don’t need your mouth today.”

“there are a lot of things that you can’t control here though,” he notes. “i think that’s the part that makes it the most difficult. you can be incredibly talented but still not be good enough to debut. i mean, i’ve been here for how many years now. sometimes, i really do think that it’s time. time for me to move on. i mean, i guess if i’m twenty-four and still a trainee, it’s probably time to re-evaluate a little. hopefully, i won’t hit that point, but you never know, right?”

     now it was her turn to listen, to hear him out as he stated his own worries. she wasn’t sure if he was venting to her or just trying to make her situation better, she was slightly confused but nonetheless, she was here for him as well. “you’re speaking like you’re old. twenty-four is not bad to me, you’re still trying to pursue your dreams and i know many others who are like. . .thirty going to college.” but that kind of reality was only seen in the states, she didn’t know if that was a common thing in korea. “like you said, you never know. it could be your time soon and you’re already thinking about re-evaluating your life decisions.”

so right now, he’s just waiting for the right time to go. the right time to head back to the dorm and slide inside his sheets. tomorrow morning he has classes before training, unlike some of them. 

he hears the gasp before he sees the young woman. “oh, noona~” the teenager says softly. he quickly notices the color on her cheeks and frowns a little. but who is he to tell her anything. “close. i’m pikachu dressed as mimikyu for halloween.” he explains. he’s not sure if yujin knows anything about pokemons so he doesn’t go further in his explanation. “what about you noona? you look really elegant.” he can bet many eyes were on her tonight.

     it was just tragic how she was the only one who could see the similarities. 

     but the thought wasn’t important, not when she was in front of the other male who looked slightly bored. that realization made the singer pout. “are you tired? ready to go home? the night is dying anyone and the excitement of seeing everyone’s costumes are over.” she spoke with a quick tilt of her head, fingers playing with the poofy fabric of her dress. if she wasn’t wearing her mask and dyed her hair, she would feel like cinderella, but sadly she wasn’t. there was no fairytale ending for her tonight. “i kind of want to sit down but my corset is preventing me from doing so. . .” her words drifting off as she reached up to touch her stomach. “i don’t see how women wore such things.”

“you don’t hear that too often? are you serious, unnie?” she asks, her tone a tad bit dramatic as she tilts her head to the side. “that should be like… something normal for you now, i bet. i mean it’s true, you’re so good at everything. how could people not realize that and tell you? it’s impossible.” she shakes her head slightly, still keeping her gaze on yujin. at the latter’s next words though, she puts on a playful smirk. “is it working? did i make you blush?” she says, her eyes lighting up in excitement like a little child before she could let out a laugh. she’s never been this mischievous around others. she doubts anyone would believe that someone like her could act like this, seeing how serious and easily ticked off she is most of the time.

     𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐍𝐎 doubt that these two were close, that they had a friendship that carried into this company and continued to stay tight. maybe they grew closer of the years of hardship and struggles, they could trust one another and also encourage each other to push themselves out of their comfort zone. after harin left australia and left yujin behind, she thought their friendship was going to end with the distance keeping them apart but harin wrote to her and the rest was history. now yujin was able to have her best friend by her side on such a trialing time of her life. 

     being a trainee, gathering a group of people you could trust with no setbacks or doubts was a blessing in disguise. and in no shape or form did yujin think she’d see her childhood friend in the same situation as her, in the same company at that. it must’ve come as a shock to harin when she saw yujin sitting in the corner by herself. the overly religious female broke through the chains her mother had over her life and pursued a dream that was still frowned upon to this day. the woman probably didn’t even know what she wanted her daughter to do for the rest of her life, but it clearly wasn’t to go up on that song and be sexy. 

     she’s probably shaking in her boots right now.

     yujin laughed, covering her face with small hands as she really got comfortable on her friend’s lap. “you can feel it in your bones? now harin, that’s a little too dramatic don’t you think?” she questioned, that goofy smile never leaving her lips as she looked up at the other. you could say that yujin was truly getting comfortable with not only her body, but her sex appeal that she knows is inside her, deep down just waiting to come and shock the nation.

     but until that time comes, she’ll continue to play on her angelic image until an opportunity is ready for her. she snaps out of her daze, a blush spreading across her cheeks, sitting up so she can gently hit the other’s arm. “stop it! i’m not good at everything.” she just knew how to fake it like she did, but this wasn’t something she should say on camera. “and you know, maybe some people don’t see that in me, which is fine. i’m not going around asking everyone to recognize my talent, because that would be crazy.” yujin crossed her legs and faced her friend, head slightly tilting as she smiles. “you’re too much sometimes, always teasing me.” it was funny to see such a side of harin. knowing the girl can be somewhat intimidating to other trainees, she was lucky enough to crack the girl and make her way into her trust. “i can’t even tease you back, it wouldn’t work.”

choosing a halloween outfit has been a source of stress for her this year, but then again it’s more or less like that every year. there’s too much to think about, too much to do, and a million things to consider when she chooses everything down to the last detail of her costume. after all, it’s the details that can make or break, nuances that build you up and break you down just as fast. or maybe she’s just being dramatic, as she’s prone to be sometimes. she tugs at the white feathers of her dress, the ones sewn into her headpiece, and decides that this is enough for now, that it’s satisfactory for what it is.

fundamentally, she thinks she’s always been a perfectionist, so it comes as no surprise that this too is something she is meticulous about.

still, she looks around for harin, because she knows that without the other girl her costume doesn’t make nearly as much sense. yejin turns around suddenly when she hears a voice behind her, whipping around quickly to see a girl behind her. “thanks, i am cute, aren’t i?” it only half registers in her mind, maybe because it’s not exactly what she expected, dark hair and different outfit and all, but it clicks soon enough. by now she’s been around yujin enough to know her voice and her subtle mannerisms, though she would like to say that she’s always been somewhat perceptive about these things. “when did you change your’s? you didn’t tell me!” yejin puts her hand over her heart in mock hurt. “how could you? i thought we told each other everything.”

𝐘𝐔𝐉𝐈𝐍'𝐒 𝐆𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐋𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃𝐍'𝐓 be heard through the loud music pumping through the speakers of the room, but her smile was there at yejin’s reaction. she felt satisfied with this, kind of wishing she could play it off some more but that’s what happens when you confront your best friend. did yujin have certain quirks in her actions that set her apart from others? she was used to being defined by many things, but it was odd how she never noticed them herself. “i wanted it to be a surprise!” quickly defending herself as she mocked the other woman, hand over her heart before dropping it back to her side. “i didn’t want to be juliet anymore after miso kept giving me the stink eye. so i was the bigger person and changed my costume, i’m more happy with this because i was able to get yonghwa to be my partner for the night.” her words growing quieter, moving closer to yejin so she could hear her better.

it was no secret about the feelings she carried to those who were in her life for as long as yejin has been. this was some kind of step up from being friend-zoned all these years. 

“don’t be mad at me, i had my reasons.” her mocking tone quickly turning into whining as she hooked her arm into the others, such a signature move of comfort for yujin in moments like this. “if someone else was wearing the same costume, you’d change too right?” questioning her as she reached up to her mask, adjusting it so her nose didn’t have so much pressure on the top of it. “just be happy i came here in an even better costume than before, i’m making statements, causing heads to turn.” now she was being dramatic, but who could really blame her? when the two are together, this kind of behavior was normal.

     ankles started rolling in her own preparation to dance in the heels given to the girls. yujin was quite excited, to perform a song that wasn’t normally her style or even fit with the image she gained throughout the company and latata was the perfect example. whenever given the chance, the younger singer likes to experiment as much as possible so she doesn’t seem too boring to the viewers and this was the perfect opportunity. 

     though there was just one little problem. yujin had always struggled to dance in heels, and with different heights in the senior group, she had to get some extra inches to match the other girls. this was always a downfall for the young singer, literally and figuratively. this excitement she felt for the sexier concept was the only thing really pushing her, and the fact that she had no choice but to slap these shoes on and get used to strengthen her legs.

     she was just embarrassed, embarrassed that she was falling in front of the cameras and creating bruises on her legs with each slip. did yujin look pathetic? maybe it was some kind of con that made her more human, to show she truly wasn’t that perfect and probably never will be. “i think you should take a break, yujin. you’ve been at this for a while.” a voice ringed through the dance studio, almost like she was meant to hear it as she was pulled out of her focus zone. her tired hues looked through the mirror and at the woman sat on the floor. today she was spending some time with yejin, her other best friend who was her plus two, the girls even calling themselves “the jin’s”. it was cute and yujin loved their friendship just as much. 

     with a long sigh, yujin slowly walked to her friends, heels clicking against the hard surface of the floor before she sat down. she reached out for the binggrae banana milk and the pink straw she had placed on top of it. the milk sat next to her bag as some kind of reward for doing her best job for the day. she kind of wished she grabbed two of them while her couch was giving them out to the trainees earlier that afternoon. “i can walk in heels, stand in them for hours, but i can’t dance well to save my life.” and it was all so confusing to how backward this whole thing is. 

     with her other best friend, yejin, by her side. the two have always had a heart to heart moments with one another, never really in a place like this where they’re being recorded but the friendship they have is strong and yujin could also lean on the other in comfort. just like she did now after kicking the heels off her feet and stretching them out for a while. “can i take an hour break and then we can both practice together? doing it alone is no fun.” yujin pouted at her friend, knowing well enough that they’ll end up doing just that for the rest of the night.

“I’m close to them both, equally. We’re all in the same friend group.

What worries you the most coming here?

“Not showing people my all and how I can branch out of my comfort zone. I’ve been trying my best to show multiple sides of myself, to experiment more because you never know what the outcome could be of it all in the end.” A small hum followed, head tilting in much deeper thought. “I just don’t want to fail and not be able to give it my all. But I’m sure everyone has the same worries as me.”

It surprised him when Yujin hit him up with the idea of matching outfits. It was a bit last minute but Yonghwa was secretly happy about it. He was going to dress up as a vampire anyway and the Phantom of Opera had a very similar look as the one he was planning on using. He wore a white collared shirt with a vest stolen from his brother. For outerwear, he found something in dad’s closet because who knew his old man would have been into formal tailcoat. The only thing that gave him trouble was the mask and he had to buy a completely white mask quickly from a Hallowe’en shop and alter it with a pair of scissors until it covered a portion of his face instead of all of it. 

 “Boo.” He appeared beside Yujin and with a quick flick of the free (yay!) camera, captured her expression. “Did I actually spook you?” He asked, bemused. “Hey, that works with the character, right?”

@lgcyujin

     𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 minute this costume idea came, yujin was more excited for it than the last option she had. a costume that costs a friendship to shake up and slowly crash to the ground. but she’s not really thinking about it too much anymore, never taking something so serious. however, when the thought came about changing, she suddenly wanted to go with a theme and match with someone. to feel like she wasn’t completely alone and could have a plus one for the night; and who best to fit this role than yonghwa. 

     it was kind of funny to see the man take his role seriously, to get so into his character for the night. yujin couldn’t truly bring herself to do that but she’d play along whenever he’s able to catch up with her. arriving at the party together was something she wanted, though, with the way their movie is, she’d have to slip away from his grasp at every moment given.

     and that’s exactly what she did as she ventured off into the party, greeting friends and surprising them with the new dark brown hair color that would be gone in the next two days. the white jewels that shined in her brown hair matched the white of her dress as she carefully walked through the growing crowd of the companies party. getting a glimpse of important figures and seniors who decided to join in on the fun. she found her self at the snack bar, ordering something to drink. as she stood there, her body had jolted before her brown hues could focus on the person beside her and the flash of a camera didn’t help. “yonghwa!” she whined, a hand covering her chest where her beating heart was racing. “you’re having fun i assume?”

     it was hard, playing along as yonghwa’s friend and pushing back the feelings that’s been growing for so many years now. yujin didn’t want to overwhelm the male, push anything on him that could become some kind of distraction for his own goals. but sometimes her own actions could come back and bite her on the ass. setting the glass of champagne down on the counter of the bar, yujin had finally felt herself calm down. she took in the male in front of her, that same smile was plastered on his face, making her swoon slightly. “i wasn’t expecting for you to find me so soon, maybe i’ll have to up my game a bit.” rolling her exposed shoulders back, correcting her posture. “though i’m kind of happy to see you, you’re still my ‘partner’ for the night, can’t leave me alone for too long or else someone might steal me away from you.”

     though it was a joke, yujin didn’t know what the night held for her or she’d end up with for a few hours. the singer was hoping that she could somehow end up with the man in the white mask and not someone who couldn’t hold a conversation or bring a smile on her face the way yonghwa was doing right now. “you wouldn’t want that. . .now would you?” she questioned, looking up through her lashes as that sweet smile stretched into a smirk.

     no wonder this perfectly good book was standing as a door stopper.

     “oh my gosh, i’m such an idiot,” she muttered into her hand as she stared at the closed door in disbelief. she shouldn’t be too hard on herself, this was yujin’s first time venturing off to the rooftop to see what kind of view she could get before heading back down to continue her self-practice. maybe this was her mini punishment for actually being bold and doing something she wasn’t supposed to be doing. though it wasn’t that deep in the end and the two were still stuck on the roof together until someone came to their rescue.

𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐘 the party in full swing and costume hype finally dying down, yujin was able to sneak away from yonghwa again as part of her act. venturing off into the corners of the room to see if she can spot any more costumes that she missed or even friends who haven’t caught her eyes just yet. it was hard to spot everyone at once with the dark rooms and the only light illuminating was the bright colors and flashing lights that created a party atmosphere. and it wasn’t right that she only saw two of her best friends tonight and nobody else, something wasn’t right - or maybe she was just glued to someone’s side.

but that didn’t matter now, she was suddenly on a mission to find another friend, another nice costume that could make her drunken state coo at for the rest of the night.

and it didn’t take her long to set her eyes on a familiar face that was painted nicely in what looked like pikachu. her round cheeks turned rosy with a wide smile, heels clicking against the surface as she carefully rushed to see jun’s full costume. a gasp passing through glossy lips, following by hands curling up in a fist as she adored the adorable outfit in front of her. “jun! you look so cute i’m trying not to cry right now.” her words slurred slightly as she reaches for his hands and gave him a bright smile, or as bright as she can with this mask so fitting on her face. “i thought you were pikachu but. . .you’re not?”

jaesun wishes he could be of more help, but there’s not really that much that he’s able to do. hearing her tell him that he makes a solid point at least makes him think that he’s doing something helpful at least. “i’m glad you think that,” he notes, a smile resting on his face. “sorry to hear that,” he adds when she continues on. he hates seeing people down, but in this industry, it can be rather taxing and not at all uncommon for such things to happen. he just hopes that it isn’t something that happens all the time for her. if it were, he would think that this might not be the right industry for her.

“me?” he looks to her, biting down on his bottom lip. “i don’t know. i guess i try to make the most of my time here learning. i don’t think about whether i’m doing this to debut or not. i’m doing this because i enjoy it and i am getting better at it. i do other things too to make sure i have a back-up plan, you know?” now, his practical side is coming out, revealing that he’s going to school to make sure that he doesn’t one day get kicked out of the company to just be a dumb former trainee.

     𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 yujin to just dumb all her issues on someone, she didn’t share her pain or struggles with even close friends. but something inside of her was screaming for some kind of release - maybe this was it. all she could do was a shrug, there was nothing more she could say to make her feel better, the amount of encouragement or kind words didn’t help much from the other either. this was a problem that couldn’t be dealt with by people who didn’t even know the things her parents have done - what her mother has done. “sorry for just ranting on you, i’m sure you have a lot more going on with your own life, don’t need to add on to your thoughts.” smiling apologetically at the man who was sat next to her, legs finally leaving the tight comfort of her hug and crossing .

     yujin had started to listen closely. it would’ve been smart to think of a backup plan, just in case this whole trainee and idol thing doesn’t work out for her in the end. she held a degree under her belt, but it wasn’t in something she truly wanted to do - singing was all she ever wanted to do and this dream of hers had to work. . .it has to. “that’s a pretty good way of taking this all in and making the most of everything that comes your way. i think i’m just letting too many things happen and not controlling the situations head first.”

     𝐘𝐔𝐉𝐈𝐍 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 a fool, a beautiful little fool as she walked down the halls in her thigh-high boots and leather suit that covered her entire body. while picking out her catwoman costume, she didn’t expect to be practicing in the hot material or ridiculously high shoes. and obviously, she wasn’t the only one who assumed they were just dressing up and doing something fun on the side before changing.

     but no, that just wasn’t the case for most trainees today as they all looked like boo boo the fool in the dance rooms. 

     for once, yujin did step out of her comfort zone this year, halloween always being that year where she dresses like an angel - just doing a little something different with her wings each year. but this time, she had to follow a theme and she went above and beyond certain expectations. even her own.

     bringing some backup clothes would’ve definitely been smart. yujin wasn’t thinking things through like usual and now here she is, making her way to the lounge to rest her feet and take off the tight mask that sculpted her face. she just wasn’t expecting to find yonghwa there, someone she hasn’t spoken to or seen in so long. now wasn’t the time to face him, not in this outfit, but it was too late.

     “i can’t believe you’ve ghosted me, your own best friend.” letting out a whine as she sat across from her, legs crossing over the other. “i feel so dumb today, i should’ve known it was too good to be true.” nails tapping against her thigh it slight irritation at the prank being played on them. “how are you doing, though?”
