*.☾ boo.

with @rkdoyeon at isac

hosung was super excited.

this was something so different than their usual schedules and he was happy to try something new. even though this was essentially an idol exhibition he was glad for a change in pace, it wasn’t often that they got to do something active. well, dancing was active but it wasn’t the same as running or playing a sport. it was nerve wracking to show this different side of himself and he really didn’t want to make a fool of himself on tv. or in front of the other groups.

but having the other idol groups here meant that he could finally see doyeon for the first time in... a very long time. of course it was an official schedule and there would be many eyes around to watch their interaction but he’d be damned if he wasn’t going to speak to her. he missed her too much.

he spent most of the day with his team, cuddling up to hak and eating snacks in between doing dumb things much to the amusement of their fans. when there was a lull in activity, hosung excused himself and began to search for his girlfriend.

upon finally spotting her standing in the distance he decided to sneak up behind her, making a ‘shh’ gesture towards the fans in the stands as he crept closer. “boo!” he said, grabbing onto her shoulders giving her a tiny shake before releasing her with a grin. “did ya miss me, doyeonie?”

*. ☆ september — the new boy in town (mentioned: @rkvok​ )

Hosung hadn’t known what to expect when they were all gathered together but he certainly wasn’t expecting that. A ton of emotions rolled through him: surprise, disbelief, anger, stubborn disapproval. How dare they replace Hugo on such short notice? He had barely just left, the wound still fresh in all their hearts, and now they were just going to add someone new and pretend that their dynamic would still be the same. Yeah, way to go, CEO, well thought out plan right there.

It wasn’t the new kid’s—Moonbok—fault that he was being thrown into the deep end. Hosung was sure the room dropped by 10 degrees when he was introduced, the rest of the members to stunned to really say anything. Not that they could say anything other ‘okay, thank you’. It just felt so... disrespectful.

Too soon.

The atmosphere in the dorm was awkward to say the least and he was glad that he wasn’t sharing a room with the newbie. Hosung did feel a tiny (teeny tiny really) twinge of guilt as he gave Moonbok the cold shoulder, barely even looking at him the first few days. He just got so irrationally annoyed every time he saw him. How was he supposed to replace his best friend? He really hated how everything had been handled, his stomach feeling like it become the Gordian knot every time he thought about the whole situation, which was unfortunately rather often.

“You’ll never be Hugo.”

As soon as those words rolled off his tongue, Hosung felt a wave of guilt crash over him as he could see the pure hurt on the other’s features. Fuck. This wasn’t who he was. When had he become so bitter and mean? Hugo would definitely not want him acting like a complete and utter prick. But words could never be unsaid. He knew that Moonbok was struggling with the dancing and adapting to being on a team full of strong characters, and here he was making his life even more difficult.

Despicable.

Towards the end of the second week Hosung relented, determined to patch things up and let his misplaced anger go, so he quietly invited Moonbok to join him at their local convenience store. He treated him to some ramen and a drink, apologising for his behaviour as they ate, “I’m really sorry and deeply embarrassed to have acted in such an asshat manner. Also... I want you to know that I don’t want you to be Hugo, I want you to be PER_SE’s Moonbok, to find your own place in the team...” He smiled gently at his new teammate before leaning in to place a quick kiss on his cheek, a grin break across his features. 

“And that, my friend, is a true PER_SE welcome.”

*.☾ see you again

collaboration with @rkwendy for the @novaent yt channel to be uploaded on 31/08 based on this cover

Hugo’s departure hit Hosung like a sledgehammer.

It didn’t feel real—nothing did. He felt empty. As empty as the spot where all Hugo’s things used to be, where he used to sleep. Hosung found himself often standing in the doorway staring at his old bunk, all stripped, hoping—wishing—that he’d hear his laughter and see him walk around the corner and ask why the long face. He knew it would never happen. As much as it hurt him he knew it must’ve been an excruciatingly painful decision for Hugo. PER_SE meant so much to him he would’ve never given that up unless it was serious. 

Even though he understood his heart still ached for his best friend. He knew he wasn’t alone in his grief and had reached out to Wendy for some heart to heart conversations. They were both artists and what better way to work through your feelings than through music?

AND*ROMA were busy promoting their new songs but they managed to work around it. Hosung felt bad for taking time away from his friend to rest and recuperate whenever there was an opening in her schedule, but at the same time felt rather excited to be working with her. They’d been half-joking about it for a while now and finally something had come out of it, thanks to their dear shared husband.

Wendy had been an angel and managed to arrange the song in way that suited them both and incorporated him on a guitar. With only a few rehearsals under the belt Hosung felt confident enough to record. His vision was simple, nothing fancy, just them on stools singing with soft background lighting. After some hunting he found a small room in the Nova building that didn’t look like a closet or a practice room and thought it perfect.

Since this was a rather personal project Hosung involved minimal staff in the process, choosing to get hands on in setting up the lighting, cameras, and furniture. It was rather fun even though it was hard work, but he hoped the satisfaction when seeing the finished product would make up for all his doubts (mostly about himself).

The actual filming itself went smoothly. Wendy’s voice sounded heavenly, laden with emotion that made his chest tighten as he played the accompanying guitar, thinking of all the fun times he and Hugo had shared since he had signed to Nova. His own voice was low, mellow, but containing the same sadness and longing as the other’s. Hosung forgot about the cameras, opting to just look at Wendy, wanting to match and complement her performance. She was so skilled and much more accomplished than himself that he was happy to lift her up and play a supporting role.

After the last note faded, Hosung allowed himself to close his eyes and let a couple of tears roll down his cheeks before gently wiping them away with his sleeve. That wouldn’t make the cut—hopefully. 

“Thanks Wendy... for doing this with me. You’re an angel. Also... I’m here if you need me.”

It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again When I see you again

invisible string

@rkhosung

her whole face lights up like a christmas tree and the girl rises to her feet as she spots a familiar face walking in. she never planned to stay at the party until the very end, but part of her hoped he wouldn’t be too tired after schedules and would stop by, even if only for a few minutes, and she’d be able to see him. perhaps it was selfish of her, because she knew how tiring promotional months were, but if she could only get this much, she didn’t want to miss opportunities. she swallows her excitement and walks over to him, poised, but carrying a bright smile.

“hi!” she grins widely, bravely fighting the urge to hug him in front of everyone and risk looking more than good friends. no matter what, she’d be careful. “you’re late! my carriage is about to turn into a pumpkin again.” doyeon jokes lightheartedly since she never has the chance to say this to him, always being the one (fashionably) late. a small chuckle escapes her as she tucks a strand of dark hair behind her ear. despite any tension she felt, seeing him makes her worries melt away. 

however, as an idol herself and someone who knew the tall man in front of her well, the girl could tell he made an effort to be there and it concerns her if he’ll be fine to continue promoting his new song tomorrow, always hoping he was resting enough and staying healthy. “how was mubank? everything went well today?” she asks with genuine interest. “here, take my drink!” she offers the fruit punch.  “or… i guess they still have some ice cream left.”

[rkhosung]

hosung had hoped that they would make it to the summer party. even if he was tired now from a full day of promoting, it was still an opportunity to kick back and relax a little with others in a similar position to himself. he’d barely had time to change but had managed to find a t-shirt with tropical leaf print and acid wash artfully ripped jeans, not that anyone would actually be paying attention to his wardrobe.

it sucked having to arrive when the party was just about winding down but hosung was still grateful to be able to experience it, no matter how brief. the place looked great and the pool inviting but he knew there wasn’t enough time to do all the things that he wanted. he’d be lucky to get a chance at the table scraps... right on cue his stomach made an odd little gurgle reminding him that he was ideed famished and could do with a bite to eat.

as he was standing around trying to decide on where to go hosung was met with the best sight ever: his beautiful girlfriend walking towards him looking as radiant as ever, wearing her signature bright smile that made his heart flip flop into the pit of his (empty) stomach. “hi,” he grinned dumbly, fighting the urge to reach out and bring her in for a hug. “yeah, sorry I’m late. my pumpkin got stuck in traffic...”

he shrugged at her question and ran a hand through his grape soda coloured hair. “yeah, it went well. like, we didn’t mess up or anything. but I’m kinda bummed that we had to get here so late,” hosung pouted. he accepted her drink with a grateful smile and gently nudged her towards some empty seats in a far off corner. “let’s go over there... less people and quieter.”

and maybe I can even hold your hand for a while.

* // [ NEWS ] HUI AND NORI FROM PER_SE STOP BY AT SBS POWER FM

The boy group PER_SE have recently released their third mini-album ‘SUNDIAL_’ and title song ‘O SOLE MIO’. Two of their members, HUI and NORI, stopped by today at SBS POWER FM to promote their latest release and share any funny stories on interesting tales of their idol life. You may find their albums on digital and physicals stores!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ? SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS HERE ! // *

[rkhosung]

*.☾ future plans

Now, Hosung didn’t necessarily think of himself as someone super creative but ever since joining the company and becoming a member of PER_SE something had changed. He’d become more driven to showcase more of himself outside of his role as an idol performer, to be seen as more of an artist rather than the product of a couple of survival show and a whole team of coaches. Lately there had been an idea kicking around in his head, not fully formed yet, but something that he’d gotten really stuck on.

He wanted to create an official collaboration series featuring each member of AND*ROMA.

Since their whole concept were sister and brother groups it made sense to utilise that. It wasn’t like anything else was really happening with the two of them anyway. It had all started when he’d talked to Wendy and asked her to perform a duet with him—some time in the future—and talked about getting it uploaded to the official Nova youtube channel. But so far this was all just a fuzzy idea in his head with some thoughts jotted down into a notebook for possible creative directions.

Song covers would be the easiest to do and would be something that the fans would expect as well. Hosung had no qualms about taking the back seat in the videos either, thinking that it could be an interesting take if he played the backing instrumentals to whoever was singing. Or dancing. Dancing was also an option. He’d already done a special stage with Xiao which turned out to be loads of fun, so doing a collaborative dance didn’t phase him either. The only thing that would be tricky—in all of this—would be getting the girls on board with this.

Time was already scarce and with PER_SE promoting and AND*ROMA gearing up for promotions he had no idea where to squeeze his little project in. But he was determined to make it work.
