good bye 2019. it’s been really lovely, but i’m moving on to bigger and brighter things. i wanted to post a selfie i was really confident in, and i never posted this one because of my tummy. i’ve come to realize i don’t really care what people say about my looks. 

hot girls love themselves and i spent a long time denying myself of love. i am worthy of love, attention and affection. i am worthy of all the good things this world has to offer. i am walking into 2020 with newfound confidence, sure i haven’t debuted.. i lost at royal survival and i was picked on a lot too. but i’m still here and that’s something i’m proud of. 

i want to thank my lord and savior for showing me and giving me lessons to learn. i think i’ve learned well, and i hope to continue learning new things about life and myself. 

2020 is bright and clear, i’m having a good feeling ^^ thank you guys for everything.

yuzu is grinning from ear to ear. she rarely saw her moon but that was all about to change. perhaps then she’d finally get a chance to grow closer to her and support the long time trainee more. she returns the hug by swaying them a little from side to side and patting soohyun’s back gently. “ ‘s real crazy, eonni! finally that ceo of yer’s proved some taste,” yuzu jests, a grin on her lips. 

pulling back from the hug she merely raises a brow at soohyun being dramatic, head tilting in doubt. “ahw c’mon. y’sound like jieun eonni. dun tell me she left her influence all ‘round the place that heavily?!”

soohyun laughs loudly before shaking her head, “listen listen, jieun is really the drama queen when it comes to stuff like this. i have my moments.” jieun was quite the character around the royal building, a star trainee nonetheless. “so jisub-ssi usually has a pretty good eye for picking trainees. so i’m not shocked you’re here, you’ve got the look and the talent to be here for sure.” there she goes over complimenting people but she honestly can’t help herself. especially if what she’s saying is true! 

“honestly can you a imagine a group with you and me in it?” soohyun inquires before tapping her index finger against her lips in thought. who would be in the final group by the time soohyun debuts...? she is awfully curious, “wait am i distracting you?” her head tilts forgetting the very thing she was thinking about a few moments ago.

⇢ request received: @rksoohyun !

It felt great to be in a company where she kept stumbling over familiar faces. Even just walking in to sign the contract and walking back out after she collected the flyers to hand out, Yuzu had met so many folks she knew already. Soohyun was one of them. The moon was just coming her direction when Yuzu tugged her mask down, a wide, prideful grin on her lips as she waved one of the flyers high in the air to catch the other’s attention.

“Eonni~ look~ here~~,” the girl sing sung in the best off-pitch she could muster. Gazes turned, those around her who didn’t know her getting a good cringe as she left them to question why this one even made it into the company. Sprinting up towards her, the streamer and new rookie trainee ignored their gazes and the whispers, bopping the flyer onto Soohyun’s nose with a chuckle.

“Boop. I’m in~”

soohyun only smiled seeing yuzu in her sights, wow it’s been so long since she’s done this. every time they get new trainees this never fails to make her feel.. old so to speak. she isn’t really surprised seeing yuzu either and it makes her happy to know a good friend of hers got in. “i see that look at you!” she smiles and she plucks the flyer from the younger girl’s hands. seeing the flyer makes her feel ancient too, but nostalgic. 

“yah... yuzu-ah... you surprise me like this! we’re actually going to train together this is so crazy.” soohyun says practically bouncing on her feet and brings the girl in for a hug. 

“you’re really growing up..” she says drying imagine tears from her eyes before, even adding in extra sniffs for dramatic effect. 

[rksoohyun]

soon to be a new year, new me?

2020 is a whole new year.. and soohyun has been thinking heavily of the kind of person she wants to be in the new decade. a whole new year to change for the better and while 2019 had it’s rocky moments, soohyun thinks she’s changed a lot and it’s for the better. she’s made music, new friends and even has a boyfriend coming into the new year. not bad right? 

she’s thankful, and happier for sure yet.. something feels missing? her only goal so far on her list is to debut in 2020. that was the only missing piece really... well at least to her that was the only thing missing. soohyun only wants to share her newfound gifts and charms with the rest of the country. adjusting the hat on her head, she shifts in her seat and picks the pen up, soft pressing it to the paper. “ah..” she sniffs a few times before scribbling a few notes down. aside from the debut, she would love to eat even healthier and even try working consistently. 

oh! 

become a better dancer! 

she almost erases the line, because 2020 isn’t a year of miracles.. 

soohyun makes a face before placing the pen back on the journal and she pulls out her phone to check her texts. one from hyuk oppa, her brother... and nayoungie... she smiles softly to see that everyone still checks on her. once upon a time ago she was a stupid sixteen year old who only visited. now she’s a stupid twenty something whose been in seoul for quite some time now. 

it’s weird how the years flown by, and she’s practically blossoming into the pretty adult she’s always wanted to be.

the weather slowly became colder with every day to come, the nights turned longer and dipped the icy world into the darkness of winter. they were nearing the end of the year which meant debut was closing in as well. every day kang joon was training, in attempt to close the gap in skill between him and the other, younger members, so that he forgot about his surroundings. his special training schedule ate up most of his time and since he was basically commuting between the royal entertainment building and dorms every day, meeting up with friends or fellow trainees at seocho was rather hard right now. so he was glad that he got to meet some friendly faces around the royal garden which included soohyun as well.

when he heard her familiar voice in a long, he turned around immediately, beaming his usual charismatic smile at the shorter trainee. it surprised him a little to receive a christmas present that early, but he guessed it was hard to catch someone even within one company. sometimes busy schedules could make things more complicated than they should be. “oh? i didn’t even get to go shopping yet.” his lips curled up into a smile, when he noticed her admiring gaze. it was cute as always, even when he still didn’t felt that it was earned.

“handmade? wow! thanks a lot for putting so much work and love into this for me.” for a moment he hesitated to open the box, since it wasn’t christmas yet, but he supposed she wanted to see his reaction, so he did anyway. “a handmade pullover? you are so skillful! i feel so loved! i’ll make sure to wear it a lot, so it can enhance my visuals.” he sung back, before pulling her into a hug without even thinking about possible consequences. kang joon was simply a friendly guy who didn’t cared much about old conventions. as he lets her go, he tilted his head, looking questioning at soohyun. “what do you want from me then? i’m not good with handmade stuff, but i’ll make sure to make you happy with my present.“

skillful...more like poor, but hearing the word skillful makes her feel less insecure. she’s been trying to recover from her trips and plus she wanted to record her song professionally. paying someone to polish it up and things, all done in secret. soohyun was a bit tight on cash, but she always gave from the heart. she feels presents mean more if they’re made with good thoughts and intentions. seeing kangjoon smile at her gift and her hard work was paid off in that moment. 

“yes, a handmade pullover.. you know i’m your biggest fan so i had to gift you first!” soohyun smiles at kangjoon and she immediately starts blushing because he’s hugging her. it’s not like they haven’t before but this felt like it was out of a drama, so her heart was beating wildly. soohyun was taken sure, but kangjoon was initially one of her many crushes in her early years at royal. he was always so handsome and kind to her. she hasn’t seen him in a good minute, it seems it was hard to catch a lot of her old friends at royal. that.. was suspicious but she doesn’t want to pry in case it was something she wasn’t supposed to know. 

“oh! you don’t have to give me anything you know that! i just wanted to make you happy this holiday season, that smile was really enough.” soohyun shyly insists to the older boy and tucks her hair behind her ears. 

she clears her throat, “besides i’m so happy to see you i feel like i haven’t seen you in forever!”

@rkkangjoon

it’s about that time of year, where soohyun gets a start on christmas and holiday presents for her fellow trainees and friends. kangjoon just so happen to be a coworker and friend to her, so here she is. a big box wrapped up in bright blue wrapping paper and a white bow. for the most part soohyun hand makes her gifts, being an huge advocate of diys and things of sentimental value. 

she wasn’t sure if everyone was going to be around for christmas time and so she decided that she’ll give her gifts as soon as she finishes them. hopefully he doesn’t mind it a bit earlier, plus it’s getting chiller by the day. “hey oppa, i got you a little something.” soohyun sings as she practically bounces her way up to kangjoon in the hallway. stars and hearts in her eyes, as usual. it’s like he only gets better with age and she’s still a fan girl no matter. 

“i handmade it myself, just saying...” code for ‘please don’t mind it isn’t a designer brand’, but she put so much love and care into making this sweater.

square finale

finished lyrics x 

“okay, don’t make fun of me... but this is my song.. all finished.” she starts off nervously as she puts the guitar strap around her shoulder. soohyun’s song was special, important to her and she hopes that it sounds good. all the finishing touches, the adlibs were all planned out and polished. humming a few times and clearing her throat, to get warmed up. her family stares with intense stares and her phone is recording

she begins to play her song and she starts to sing, it’s a weird feeling playing something she wrote. soohyun’s is so used to performing already written songs or songs prepared for her to sing. so it’s weird but she’s worked hard to make this song for hyuk and she wants more people to see that she can musically stand on her own. though chanhyuk, helped all final decisions were made by her and she actually made some major changes. so even chanhyuk doesn’t know what the final version is. soohyun knows she’s come along with maturing and sure the song is no masterpiece it’s something she created. 

something she deems special, for her someone special. 

i’ll be yours for sure. 

sometime down the line of their friendship she decided that wanted to be with him. even if he shot her down, for the first time in a while she felt brave enough to share her feelings. though he beat her to it, and she literally cried about it. all of it’s embarrassing but in the end, she’s so happy. the happiest she’s ever been and she can’t believe this is her life. that she gets to sing and be in love with someone who actually loves her back. no games, no tears just smiles and for once she can admit she deserves to be loved. 

Can I count you in babe? If you’re not in the right mood to sleep, let’s sing Come take my arms and go You’ll be mine for sure

why did it take so long to get here? why was god’s plan always so confusing? her voice starts to falter due to her thoughts occupying her mind, then she gets it back on track. all of these emotions were pouring over her like the rain in the spring. all she’s ever wanted was this, music was truly her first love and she gets to express that to the whole world someday.

that was a beautiful thought. 

before she knows it the song is over and her eyes are wet. her slender fingers move from the neck and body of the guitar to touch the skin around her eyes. when did she start crying? her small family starts to erupt with clapping and cheering, “what.. i’m so sorry.. i don’t know what came over me..” she smiles and tears only stream down even more. 

“oh.. it’s square, my song is called square.” she shyly adds in with a small choked cry. 

“thank you guys.”

square pt.2

who did that to you babe? 

she sings line lightly as she strums the guitar, she’s repeated the same line for the last ten minute actually. chanhyuk groans out loud and stands up to snatch the guitar from her hands. “no no. like this.” he sings the line, with a worried yet curious expression that translated into the way he sang also. “this song is coming from your heart, so you should sing like it. lyrics are important, but never forget the feeling.” soohyun sighs and she nods, it feels as if they haven’t left the house in days. now that she’s writing her own music, her brother decided that he should lend his expertise and advice to her. seeing how he has written music since the age of twelve. 

“i know i know.” she takes back the guitar and tries it again, she remembers every single kind thing dean has said to her. how many times he’s stood up for her. 

who did that to you babe?  if you’re not in the right mood to sleep, i’ll sing

come take my arms and go

she scribbles down the next few lines fervently as if she was on auto-typing, the blast of inspiration was a bit much at times. if she didn’t write it though, most likely she’d forget about it. 

“what do you think about this?” she sits up and strums the chords and sings the newly added lines. chanhyuk smiles and nods his head, “there we go!” he laughs as he picks up his own guitar and adds to the melody. “how about this for the next part?” soohyun shakes her head and strum a few different chords, “i want it to remain a mellow love song. i think he’d like it more.” soohyun says with obvious heart eyes, and she sighs longingly. 

i’ll be yours for sure! 

“oh, what do you think i should name it? i haven’t really thought of anything good.” soohyun asks, she twitches her nose like a bunny. “i was thinking mellow melody, or summer rush.” chanhyuk shakes his head. 

“maybe keep it to one word? or a color even?” chanhyuk says, “there’s so many songs named yellow though. i know sunflowers are practically your motif so don’t get tempted to call it that.” soohyun frowns cause she honestly was thinking of calling the song ‘sunflower’s confession’. 

damn.. it.. 

what in the world should the song be called? 

[rksoohyun]

square pt.1

it’s all the holidays coming up that have her all over the place mentally. these days she’s been better, but another year is about to pass and she feels there’s so much to be done. 

“hmm?” she murmurs softly as fingers lazily strum at the guitar, her brother huffs and clears his throat. “i asked you, what are you working on- you’ve been strumming the guitar for about 5 minutes, no inspiration?” chanhyuk asks with a slight tilt of his head and she shrugs her shoulders setting the guitar next to her on the bed. there is something she’s working on, but she’s always scared it’ll never live up to expectations. anyone that knew the siblings knew that chanhyuk was the true musical genius. soohyun had the voice, but always had to work hard to match up to him. ( not to mention he was so critical of himself, she can only imagine the critique from him ) 

soohyun has had a few gems in her pocket, but nothing-- monumental. this new project though she’s hoping is something she can show to someone special. someone super special, everything she’s wrote down wasn’t impressing her so she was sure it wasn’t going to impress them either. “well.. i have something in mind, i just don’t know how to.. hmm what’s the word...” she flops back on the bed, eyes to the ceiling then she looks to her brother, “elevate it?” the melody is there sure, but the words aren’t coming to her as fast as she’d like. “i have a lot i want to say in this song, but ugh! i don’t know how to say it! i’m pouring out my heart and it’s so nerve wracking.” 

“here look at what i have so far..” soohyun points at the music sheets on her desk, and chan calmly walks over, picking them up with gentle hands. he hums the music to himself and smiles brightly. 

“i think i have some pointers, because this is.. actually not bad.” 

hearing that soohyun knew that she was onto something good.

31st Century Girls

rkcheri‌:

she doesn’t like the awkwardness. it had been going on for too long, festered in a place it wasn’t welcome. and when mijoo had wanted to change the tides, time was not of the essence – their schedules had piled up and comebacks became stacked against one another. a day became a week all too quickly; weeks turning into months until mijoo began to stare at her phone day by day wondering if it would be weird for her to call the younger girl out of the blue.

too much had been left unsaid and come june, mijoo couldn’t even remember the last time she talked to soohyun.

and that pained her. after years of talking to the younger girl everyday, filling gaps between lessons and lunch breaks with their everyday chatter, it felt odd suddenly going without it. sure, their weekly phone calls when mijoo had moved into the luxe dorm had helped fill those inklings but in the last few months – they’ve been aching sparse. 

so much so that now, mijoo couldn’t help but latch onto whatever piece of their friendship she could find, whether it be the warmth in the other’s hug or the hands that held her own. this, mijoo tightens, fingers locking onto soohyun’s as she nods.  “a walk sounds great.” a foot forward, another into the right direction. 

space always makes or breaks a relationship. days that once were filled with chats and outings, were now filled with avoidance and awkwardness. soohyun remembers how she’d latch onto the older girl following her, listening to her.. bonding. she never had sisters, and most of her cousins were boys, also waaay younger than she was. so she never had a sisterly bond like this, and with everything that had happened she missed it even more. 

soohyun is so happy that she’s caught mijoo like this, and now she had a chance to just explain herself. “great, thank you.” she begins as now they’re walking in whatever direction, it doesn’t really matter to her at this point. “so first of all, if you’re wondering, i’ll just.. say it so you don’t have to think it.” she gives mijoo’s hand a gentle squeeze, “i’m so proud of you.” it’s an honest statement, “and i know i haven’t been acting like i am, just know that i always have been and will be. i’ve been acting so distant and weird, i’m sorry.” i’m an adult.. but i don’t know how to control my emotions sometimes... 

that’s not your fault. 

“so much happened so fast you know? i’m sure both our heads were spinning.” soohyun says with a bittersweet smile, victims in god’s plan. the moon princess only hoped the lessons and rewards far outweighed the distance and pain the two experienced. 

[lgcahri]

for you.

hm. weird. he’s dated a couple of girls before, but never did he ever think about spending more than a couple of months with them, let alone run off into an unknown country. but with soohyun it’s different, he realizes. he realizes she’s the girl he may have been waiting to have by his side this whole time; all the experiences he’s made having shaped him into the type of man who’s need of that type of girl, of her. “yeah, maybe i have thought about it.” he replies, tries to sound nonchalant, adds a little laugh. because it is weird to come to terms with having found the one. 

her reaction to the surprise tops it all, though, and a big part of him is glad to see that she already likes it. makes having spent every single won he saved up more than worth it. “of course that’s where the surprise is. a princess-like location for the princess of seoul.” lips donning a grin, his fingers reach to curl around her hand and lead her through the gate. they’re greeted by a mesmerizing garden, all the prettiest of flowers gracing their way to the front door of the villa. and yuri does not hesitate to fish out his phone with his free hand, turning on the camera option.

“wanna take a picture together?” he asks, doesn’t quite wait as he’s already snapping a little candid of his way too adorable girlfriend with a pair of white roses in the background. definitely his new lockscreen. 

i knew it. is her mental response to his comment about thinking about them eloping. she hopes what she has with yuri will last forever, because soohyun is just so in love with him. what she has with yuri she’s never felt so intensely before, it’s a little scary sometimes. “thank you, i already love it here.” she says as she takes in more of her surroundings. all the flowers and the breeze that whips around them is so comforting and kind. soohyun felt as if she were a protagonist of a romance anime or something. the setting felt too perfect. 

the shock and surprise still painted on her face, her cheeks were flushed and her smile was permanent. as the she sees the camera app open on his phone she doesn’t even realize he’s taken a picture already. soohyun only chuckles, “i didn’t even get to answer that question! aw if it’s ugly you have to delete it!” she whines softly reaching for his phone laughing. 

it felt as if her dream of becoming a lady was being realized, the way he looked at her, she’d been dreaming of it since she was a teen girl. her hand squeezes his and stands on her tippy toes to give him a small peck on the cheek, “come on~ i want to relax ~”
