“I need your help, but if you’re just gonna tease me, I’m gonna run away,” Freya threatened, though it was an empty threat. She tugged at his arm, pulling him to the couch. “They might be putting an album in the works for me but I need help and you’re a better rapper than I am and you and Jewoo write all your own songs so I need your help.”
“Hey, help me out?” Brandi asked sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes comically, as if she was trying extra hard to win their favor (which she kind of was). “What kind of song do you think the world needs next? A love song? A break-up song? A party song? An epic anthem? I’m having trouble deciding what to write.”
“Love songs are kind of commonplace, right? Or really, any songs about relationships? Do something new. Like a fun party song or something, yeah,” Freya agreed, nodding with a grin. “Or just....something to dance to. You’re a dancer, right? You could write up something good for that.”

It was Freya’s first comeback stage in a long time--second comeback stage ever, but wow, did it ever go well. Freya was confident that Ivory would be a hit after that stage; not only did they nail it, but the audience seemed to love it too. And from what she could see, with Tae texting her updates every few minutes, the public reaction to 4 Walls was pretty good. Freya was proud; of herself and her new group. Handing a water bottle to her new leader, the younger girl flashed Yewon a grin. “Great job, unni! You were great!”
Jongyeon was often exasperated with his costars and coworkers, but he usually kept it in, under a perfectly crafted smile. Today however, just wasn’t his day. He was annoyed at everything and everyone and finally, he had reached his last when someone bumped into him. He sighed in annoyance and glared at the person who bumped into him. “Watch where you are going!”
It’d been two years since Freya debuted. Granted, next to the other members of Ivory, that wasn’t much, but she’d only had one comeback in all her time at MK. It’d been a while since she’d had a promotion schedule, let alone one this hectic, so she found herself getting a little manic trying to get herself in the right spot at the right time. Jumping a little when she turned a corner and there was already someone right there, she couldn’t stop herself from hitting him. “Sorry. It was an accident,” Freya said, biting her lip.
Lee Sarang was someone who was very tender and caring. Whenever someone was down or looked like something was wrong she had to cheer them up. The manager had gone out and brought home something from her childhood. She had brought her most cherished stuffed toy that she still slept with. She smiled at the person before her. “Here. This is my childhood toy. When I’m upset or stressed, he always knows how to help. You can borrow him until you feel better.”
Freya was absolutely exhausted. Ivory was debuting soon-ish, and tensions were still kind of high. Josie still wouldn’t even talk to her, which admittedly hurt a little, but Freya got it. She’d crossed a line in her attempts to help her friend and she was dealing with the consequences. It was a friendship she treasured but one that she might not ever get back and she had to come to terms with that. Though, the manager’s attempts to cheer her up were pretty nice. “Yo, thanks. He looks cute. Does he have a name?”
He frowned a little when she interrupted his story, though he wasn’t actually upset–just acting like he was to maybe get a hug or a kiss from her in an attempt to cheer him up. He really hoped he hadn’t been that annoying or hadn’t had that much attitude as a trainee–the ones he had spent his day working with were admittedly nightmares, and it had been a long day of trying to stay happy and positive and encouraging. After a shower and time spent listening to happy songs, he was feeling a lot better, though. And that was largely to do with the fact that Freya was with him now.
He hugged her a little closer, wrapping his arms tight around him and rubbing her arm softly. “Okay. What do you want to talk about?” he asked her softly, a grin appearing on his face when she gave her suggestion. “Okay but…think of this: You. Me. Uptown Funk. We would rock a cover of that song. And a dance to it too. It would be so much fun. I don’t even speak English and I know it’d be fun.”
She rolled her eyes, squeezing him around the middle in attempts to appease him, though admittedly squeezing a little hard. He was so whiny. But he was hers, so she could put up with it she supposed.
She snickered. “How can you perform a song in English without even knowing English? I mean, you could do it to a point, but somewhere along the way, you’d mess up just because you have no idea what you’re saying,” she pointed out with a giggle, poking him in the side. “I could do a cover of it, and then you could dance while I sang,” she offered teasingly.
Sighing, she cursed. “Damn, too bad you don’t speak English, Tae. We could plan a stage with I Just Wanna, and instead of having that other guy perform with me, you could do it.” She’d really actually prefer that. The guy she’d been paired with for the song on her album had left the agency a month later. She didn’t even remember his name.
“Right, okay,” Freya murmured from where she was laying, trying to glance at him with a smirk. It’d been a long day for both of them--Tae had been helping Jewoo with some trainees and choreography, and Freya had been practicing for the subunit all day. Both of them were exhausted, so as soon as they got to the apartment the Insomnia members shared, they’d retreated to his room and collapsed on the bed. Now she was curled right up against him, her head resting on his shoulder as the both slowly fell asleep.
He’d been in the middle of some long-winded story about a sock with a hole in it and how everyone wanted it to die when she interrupted him. “As much as I love your stories, and I really, really do, let’s talk about something else for a little bit, yeah? I still wanna collaborate with you someday, you know. Someday we need to do a song together. Or a stage or something. It would be so much fun.” @mktitan
“Please can we get some food?” Taesong pouted, arms crossed as he sat cross-legged on the floor. He was hungry and there was no way he could do anything without eating. His pout remained strong as he glanced in the other’s direction, “I’ve done well for the past half an hour, isn’t that worthy of some food?”
“Okay, so here’s the deal,” Freya mumbled so only he could hear her, a tiny smirk on her face. “You talking about being hungry, my friend, is making me hungry, and well, that’s just plain unacceptable, dude.” She feigned annoyance at him, continuing, “So, to rectify this, we’re going to sneak out of here before you trainer notices.”
JEWOO → FREYA
Jewoo: right okay so we're on for tomorrow, then?
Jewoo: i can help you with dance training, I'll just have to leave a little early
Jewoo: there are some routines I need to finish choreographing tonight
Freya: i'd appreciate it a lot, thanks
Freya: do you know when tae is done his schedule tomorrow?
Hasik stared in the mirror anxiously, his hand running through his hair. It was so weird having short hair. His hair had been long for, what? Four years, now? He had started growing it out right after UNION’s debut, and this was the first time since then that it had been cut significantly. Dyed too. “Aish…..” he muttered under his breath, putting his hat on quickly. “I miss my long hair,” he said with a pout, scratching his arm. “This is weird. I look weird. I don’t like this.”
“What do you mean?” Freya asked, poking him in the head with a grin. “Like, yeah, your old hair was really nice and all, but it looks really good! You look really good. It’s like a whole transformation for you! Your fans are going to go crazy. Your girlfriend is gonna go crazy. You’ll get used to it...”

“You sure are persistent.” Hyeri grinned, a laugh escaping her as she leaned forward on her arms, grinning at the other woman as she did. “Alright, serenade me with your best song about…love. I want to be absolutely blown away.”
She strummed a little more, getting a feel for the rhythm and humming to herself before nodding. “I can do that. Be prepared; you might be in love with me when you’re done..” and with that, she started mumbling the word ‘love’ in different pitches as she strummed some more.
Despite the fact that they were in the dance studio for a reason, Yewon couldn’t help the grin that formed at the younger’s antics. It was cute, seeing her goof off and have fun, but that didn’t mean they could just slack off. Ivory was scheduled to debut at the end of the next month, and as the leader, she felt responsible for their performance. “How about a song about dance practice? You know, the thing we still need to do.”
She sat up, still strumming idly on her ukulele. She was excited to be debuting as part of a group, she really was. But her schedule was crazy now, she had a lot more dancing than she usually did, and Jiyoung still wanted nothing to do with her; saying that things weren’t going so smoothly was an understatement. Ever the optimist, though, Freya was still trying to find the bright side and a way for everything to work out. “Can I dance with my ukulele? Like play and dance? I think that’d look pretty cool.”
“FREYA HSIAO; I CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE A SONG ABOUT HOW HANDSOME I AM,” was Taegun’s obnoxiously loud reply, screaming into the empty practice room and dancing around to her strumming. She was so weird. He was…..barely human. There wasn’t a couple that was better matched on the face of the planet. Though, he had to admit, it was probably hard for people who were a little more…normal…to spend time with them.
She laughed, rolling her eyes at him. “KWON TAEGUN, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE ME A HARD SUGGESTION!” she yelled back, giggling to herself. She made the intro go much longer than she usually would, just so she could watch his dorky dancing a little longer, and then started singing about how weird and dorky he was with a giant grin on her face.
