dļ¾Ā sleepy daze
lmdongminĀ·:
āāā- missing you by sp4deĀ
Ā Ā Ā heās surprised when he hears the assignment for the next couple weeksāmostly because most of the trainees that he knows are not vocalists. heās barelyĀ a vocalist himself, if only by the definition that heās most definitely notĀ a rapper. he used to sing when he was busking with a band, but that was also mostly just harmonizing on his part though heās trying to get better. heās been putting in a lot of effort during vocal practice, if only to make up for the fact that heās a terribleĀ dancer too.Ā
Ā Ā Ā the struggle is real. honestly, all he can think of is that heās grateful he had signed a dual contract to model as well as be a trainee, or he probably wouldnāt be too sure what he was doing here.Ā
Ā Ā Ā finding @lmsomiĀ· in the canteen usually wasnāt too hard, and he sets his tray down next to her when heās gotten his food, heaving a loud sigh.Ā āhow are you doing with the eval?ā dongmin asks, sounding almost weary even though heās been doing very well with his practice. itās just a mood nowadays, considering he has a few final projects that heās been working on with school, and along with modelling and trainingāheās just always tired, and he doesnāt think thatās going to change until the semester ends.Ā
somi has been following a very strict routine since she started to seriously prepare for the csat. of course, training was still a priority, but studying became something she paid more attention to. when not preoccupied with practice, her nose is buried in her handouts or going over the set of questions or problems she got wrong in class. her time is spent only to study and to train. and on rare specific times, she'd take a break to just eat or exercise to relax.
today was not exactly a good day. practice has been going alright she supposed -- she's not getting called out so much. in fact, she's been doing good. the young girl doesn't usually settle for just 'good', she'd have strived for 'perfection' or 'flawless' if not for the fact that this being a vocalist that they need to be. somi had learned her place the hard way, she is not a good-enough vocalist. she will probably never be, and as much as that makes her chest tighten, that's the reality. she keeps that in mind during practice, and settles for having improved from last time.
the idea doesn't sit well with her at all and she just wants the whole thing to finish as quickly as possible. studying made it easy to shy away from her thoughts. but seeing dongmin and hearing his words, it seems like she isn't the only one struggling. "it's going..." she trails off, smiling lightly and then sighing too, "just... you know, it's going i guess." she continues, giggling at how ridiculous it sounds. but at that moment, that's just really how it is. "i'm sure you're doing much better than i am. are you okay?"
