i knew you were trouble,

[hyunarkarchive]

she was lacking confidence at that moment, she couldn’t make herself walk around with her chin raised high, it was hard. sudden popularity just struck her hard, and the underground scene was not happy with her public appearance like that. 

[[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] practice makes perfect haha [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] me as a dancing queen?  [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] i’ve already taken the place as royal’s dancing black hole. i’d rather be rap queen you know? something i am good at. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] its actually my roommate. its nova;s hyuna.

didn’t hurt in telling him would it? wonwoo was so close to elly, she could practically call him a younger brother. right now, her car was her ex’s ferarri he had trashed a few months ago. until she had decided to actually get a new car, for which she was looking around now, a few already catching her eyes.

[[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] we yelled, screamed. he slammed a few things [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] he even hit me [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] he also slapped me.. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] it wasn’t a pretty sight haha.. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] i seriously should be over this but.. he’s back with my mother who he divorced nearly twenty years ago.. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] i kind of feel betrayed.. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] is it wrong to feel like this? even after months?

she was desperate to tell someone who would understand her. so far, it was only minsoo who knew, and no one else needed to know. but wonwoo would understand her situation, he knew her too well to just shake it off.

[[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] hey… wanna go on a ride tonight?

she needed fresh air.

[rkwonwoo]

emotions are hard to express through text. collections of lifeless alphabets on a glowing screen isn’t enough a container to deliver one’s state of mind in its most natural and rawest form. yet somehow, he comprehends completely how the older female is feeling, and a part of him aches for her. maybe it’s rejection. he’s experienced that a couple of times before. because despite being the oldest of two brothers, the younger always has a way to one-up him.

[ text → 엄마 #2 ] oh come on, who doesn’t love a woman who can do both? [ text → 엄마 #2 ] *wink emoji* [ text → 엄마 #2 ] wait, you know hyuna? and you’re roommates with her? [ text → 엄마 #2 ] how come you’ve never told me this?

being unaware of his best friend’s living situation makes him feel ashamed. has he never visited elly’s place before? probably not, or maybe not after she moved in with hyuna. considering the fact that elly gave hyuna a car as a gift though, they must’ve been sharing the same space for a while now. noting the new fact, he makes sure to be more in touch with the lives of people he treasure most.

[ text → 엄마 #2 ] shit that sounds pretty bad, you sure you okay? [ text → 엄마 #2 ] you can always tell me if anything else happens, i promise i’ll be there for you [ text → 엄마 #2 ] i’m not sure... [ text → 엄마 #2 ] my parents almost got a divorce a few months back, that’s part of the reason why i flew back to the states [ text → 엄마 #2 ] i’m pretty sure it’s normal, change is scary... especially when it comes to your family [ text → 엄마 #2 ] did he get the thought through you first before getting back with your mom? i feel like he owes you that at least

his own thoughts fly back in retrospect, wondering what would’ve happened if he and bohyung hadn’t convinced their parents to stay as they were. maybe he would’ve been crushed, more than he had ever been. shaking his head, he buries it down in the depths of his mind.

[ text → 엄마 #2 ] sure, where should we meet up? [ text → 엄마 #2 ] my place? your place? the park by my old school?

he too, needed fresh air.

seolhyunrk:

“Oh, I think I understand now.” Seolhyun did remember the taste of cheeseburgers but she admittedly didn’t have them enough times to remember what they tasted like on most days. She did know what they look like though, she couldn’t get away from that with all the advertisements and fast food places around, but if it wasn’t from a higher end restaurant with better quality food, she probably hadn’t tried it when she deemed it too greasy.

Although, now she’s not sure if her avoidance to greasy food started when she was a model, or if that was just the way she grew up. While people would snack on potato chips and soda, she would be munching on an apple and drinking either water or tea. There have been a lot of people she’s talked to who didn’t understand the entertainment industry or her ‘diet,’ getting comments such as ‘how can someone not like pizza?’ But like most things, if she wasn’t exposed to it, then she didn’t crave it.

“Yes, we can get a Korean meal tomorrow. All of it sounds good… I wouldn’t mind to go to each restaurant when we have the time to do it, but maybe we can spread the trips that we make outside, say to once a week?” Seolhyun gave him a friendly smile. “But now that we have that settled, why don’t you tell me about yourself, Wonwoo ssi?”

responding to an explanation is one way to paint someone’s impression. seeing by how indifferent the girl seems when it comes to junk food, wonwoo wonders if she’s never basked in the joy of monosodium glutamate and saturated fats. a few explanations come to mind as to how she’s not exposed enough to these concepts, and to list them down;

1. she’s a model, 2. she seems like she comes from the upper middle class economy (who dines in overpriced restaurants with healthy food the size of a thumb), and 3. she is serious about maintaining a great body (and health) and thus avoids anything that is greasy, sloppy, and provides a high chance of blood flow blockage

to clarify his theories, the male raises an eyebrow and cranes his neck a bit to get a better view of the female. looking her in the eye, he asks slowly. “how often do you eat fast food?” the dancer typically eats a good mcdonalds meal once or twice a week when he was in the states, but now that he’s back in seoul, he cuts it to once every two weeks. with the new contract added to the mix, he’s cutting it close to only once a month.

“once a week is great. we can also ask the others to come with us, i’m sure they’d be thrilled to have a small get-together every once in a while.” sharing food with his new friends is a great way to kickstart friendships. not counting minsoo and hyojin, there are a lot of other trainees that he has yet to get to know well and what other way if better than a warm dinner after a long, hard day? after all, food is infallible.

smirking when it comes to telling stories about him, he shrugs. “i’m just your typical guy.” smiling sweetly, he looks up in an attempt to pull some interesting facts about himself. “i’m 21 this year in korean age, which means i’m a legal adult in korea. i play basketball with my friends in my free time and busk in hongdae when i feel like it. oh, and i have a little brother– bohyung. he doesn’t go to photoshoots as much as i do so you probably won’t know him.”

rkhyunakim:

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Well… we’re both equally at fault? I landed myself on this ban, and you would’ve too, but of course others had to contribute to that.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] If you feel comfortable with that.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Do we practice extra hard still? I might just curl up in a ball after practice with how hard we’re working LOL

[ text → scary hyun ] let’s go out for food after practice tomorrow, it usually fixes everything [ text → scary hyun ] so does drinking [ text → scary hyun ] let’s start practicing again next week after things have died down a little

[rkwonwoo]

rkhyunakim:

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Were we the main cause of it? If anything, that should’ve been my fault for getting you guys in trouble since I was the one who suggested you write that line, and agreed about no hashtags.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Don’t do that :( keep them! This is just one mistake that we’re going to have to learn from. Even if we’re doing those posts on behalf of Soundbox, we’ve still got our companies looming over our shoulders.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Then can we just practice still?

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Will I still see you?

[ text → scary hyun ] no it’s okay really, if you put it that way then it’s also my fault for actually going through with it [ text → scary hyun ] i’ll private them right now. that’s the only thing i can do to minimise future screw-ups [ text → scary hyun ] yeah, i mean why not? i’ll drop by soundbox after royal [ text → scary hyun ] sorry i got us into this shit

[rkwonwoo]

[ continued from here! ]

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] That’s…. worse than what I got. Well, the whole company didn’t land on SNS ban, just me.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] I feel like… there might’ve been more than one person to contribute to that? I got in trouble but the others didn’t.

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] Do you still want to do the dance? We might have to hold off on posting until the SNS ban gets lifted.

[ text → scary hyun ] maybe? i’m not sure either but or teasers were the last straw [ text → scary hyun ] i feel bad for the other trainees... an it’s not the first sns mess up i’ve been in [ text → scary hyun ] fuck, i should just delete all my accounts [ text → scary hyun ] i still want to dance... but maybe not now... let’s hold it out until the ban gets lifted, whenever that’ll be

[rkwonwoo]

A staff member from Royal stops you soon after you arrive at the company in the morning. She greets you with the slightest bow, but a gaze that isn’t quite forgiving. “Hi, Wonwoo-ssi. I’m a PR manager here. Come with me. We have something to talk about.”

Her voice suggests this isn’t up for discussion, and when she begins to lead the way down the hallway to an office, you’re expect to follow. Once you both step inside, she motions for you to sit down while she sits behind a desk and across from you.

“You’re new here, but there are some things you need to understand very quickly,” she begins. “One of those is how to behave on social media.” She pauses, and blinks at you, like she expects you already know what she’s talking about. If you don’t, however, she pulls out a mobile phone and shows it to you, your instagram post lit up on the screen.

“If you read through your contract carefully, you would’ve noticed dating is strictly prohibited. Of course, I looked into things a little further and I understand this was just a set up for your collaboration with Kim Hyuna-ssi, however, this behavior is still unacceptable, especially with how new you are to the company. I hope what you post on social media won’t be an issue for us in the future. If it is, your future may be better spent without Royal Entertainment.”

She pauses again to let her words soak in, then sighs. “Either way, we’re making sure it won’t be an issue for a while. CEO Seo Jisub is very unhappy with how the trainees have been behaving on social media as of late. This is the final straw.” She hands you a very official looking sheet of paper. “This is our new company memo. You’ll be interested in reading that and following it very closely. Welcome to Royal Entertainment, Wonwoo-ssi.”

the first thing that crossed his mind when the staff basically blocked his way, was shit. hyuna texted him already about her being banned from sns, and he could only think of the worst case scenario at that point. he’s new, very unskillful compared to other trainees, and already has a history of problematic sns posts. if hyuna got banned, he could only imagine himself being suspended or kicked out entirely.

nodding hesitantly, he followed the lady down the hallway and into an office. the interior was not too shabby, he thought. at the very least, there was light pouring in from the glass panels, making it less sinister inside. motioned to sit down, he heeded her instructions. he couldn’t afford to get into more trouble.

as the phone was slid towards him, he nodded, knowing exactly why he had been called to the office. “i know, but–” his speech was cut by the lady’s, and he dared not to complain. her following words sent a wave of relieve over him though, as she indicated that the company did know what’s been going on before dragging him in for judgement. a collaboration was supposed to be fun, and the teasers were a silly mistake on their part, if you could call it that. listening to every word the staffer says after, he nodded weakly. when he had told his brother he’s been scouted, the first thing he said was “stay out of trouble and do well”. less than a month after and he’s already screwed up pretty bad.

“i’ll make sure to be more careful in the future.” bowing, he took a deep breath. lifting his head in time for the lady’s sigh, he flinched a little. he couldn’t help but feel bad to see and hear such disappointment aimed straight at him. taking the paper, he didn’t look down until after the other dismissed him. getting up and bowing once again, he powerlessly walked past the doors and down the halls. he wondered what the paper could hold, and finally stopped in his tracks. brows knitted, he studied the content of the letter.

a company ban. great job, jeon wonwoo. royal’s definitely in love with you now.

[rkwonwoo]

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] So.... did you get in trouble?

[ text → scary hyun ] uh… worse?[ text → scary hyun ] the whole company got on sns ban[ text → scary hyun ] well i would usually beam and call it an accomplishment but this is sort of embarrassing

[rkwonwoo]

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] I just posted the chorus part~ mm.. just tell him we're not dating and that's the truth. [ ✉ wonwoo. ] Unless there's something that you wanna talk about, call me?

[ text → scary hyun ] yeah the company figured out that it was a collab teaser, but…

rkjcshua:

joshua doesn’t even know how he got contacted to attend this meet up; it could have been tiffany’s idea but nevertheless, he was very much enjoying the event. as much as he had to practice using his korean to be a potential trainee in their eyes, it was certainly a hard task to follow and he was getting quite sick of not speaking his own mother-tongue and now he had the chance to do so freely with other people who are just as fluent in english as he is.

the nineteen year old is making rounds of everybody, trying to chat and catch up with his friends, realizing only then at how many of them had this plan of action; to go and become an idol. he was quite surprised at some of them, expecting and not expecting all at the same time. some were surprised at his arrival as well, some were not; they chatted over it and their time being spent over in this new land, well, new for him at least.

he’s walking around, his goal in mind was to get some more food because goddamn, that was an assortment of tasty goodness that was laying on the table. spotting the desired table, joshua began his stride before he vaguely heard his name being called immediately before arms wrapped around him, as he got a good look towards said caller. shit, joshua was blanking out; ‘who was this guy?’, he thought to himself as he just blankly stared at the, albeit highly attractive, stranger. “uh, hi man”, he tried to play it off, pretending as if he didn’t forget who this guy was.

truth is, he’s glad he’s still able to meet his old friends despite being a trainee. a lot of people say that the trainee life is a hard one with scarce time to play around. that is not completely wrong, but there are certainly loopholes he can get around with. the gathering for one is an event he won’t be able to attend if not for chuseok falling on the same day. since his parents won’t be around until the evening anyways, he supposes that spending time with his friends won’t be bad.

smiling at the other male, he runs his hand through his hair. “when did you get here? you should’ve told me so i can bring you to this dance studio i frequent. we can even perform in the streets again, just like middle school you know?” joshua had been one of the many people he used to dance with. he remembered the other being more refined in contemporary and jazz, the two things he still hasn’t gotten around to mastering.

noticing his hesitant answer, wonwoo raises an eyebrow. he thought that the other would also be ecstatic to meet an old friend in a foreign country. the reaction was different from what he had expected however, and he starts to think of all the possible explanations of what exactly is happening. “you do remember me, don’t you?” after blabbering on and on, he can only hope he didn’t get forgotten, or worse, got the wrong person.

seolhyunrk:

“A cheeseburger from Dominos? I haven’t heard of that before.” There was a lot of things Seolhyun’s hadn’t heard before when it came to fast food, simply because she tried to avoid greasy foods like pizza. They just didn’t settle well in her stomach, hence her aversion for them all together. Sometimes it was unavoidable with big groups, seeing as it was one of the easiest shared dishes around, but that’s when she would be picking at the chicken instead. “But I might know of the sushi place that you’re talking about. There are a few around here. There is one that has the belt that brings the sushi to you, and there’s another one where they give you your own tray.”

Either way, she agreed with his suggestion with a nod. “Yes, I’d like that. Staying too long in one place can be boring. I’d like to go out even for a little bit for lunch so I can get some fresh air.” If they were somehow running out of time for their lunch, there was always the street food to pick at.

“For what I like to eat, I like eating fresher foods like bibimbap or sandwiches. Once in a while, I like to be adventurous and eat meals that are a little more on the spicy side, but I usually try to avoid eating greasy food, simply because I want to watch my figure.” She smiled back at him. “So it seems like we have a lot of options. Do you have a preference of where to go?”

“well it’s not exactly a cheeseburger per se... more like the taste of a cheeseburger but on pizza form. it’s a bit confusing i know, but it’s really good. trust me.” his first time tasting the topping was actually an accident. his friend mistook wonwoo’s basic cheese pizza for his and ended up finishing the whole thing. angered, the kid naturally took his friend’s slice and bit off a large portion. what rich taste that followed was blurry in his mind as he was completely immersed in the experience. a burger minus the struggles of making the whole thing fit in his mouth; that was what really came off as amazing to him.

checking the time, he considers having some food delivered to the building, but he guesses that doesn’t correspond to the company’s policies. “we can go tomorrow? since we don’t have enough time to go out today.” shrugging, he looks at her as if he’s saying too bad. next time, he’d bring his own car to work so that traveling gets easier for him.

considering the fact that the girl is in fact a model, he doesn’t find it particularly odd that she watches what she eats so much. he remembers his mom being the same when he was younger. jeon yumi was still one of the most popular asian faces then, and her appearance needed to be maintained regularly. as he grew up, the image slowly faded from his mom, and she now works behind the scenes more often. “eating junk food once in a while wouldn’t be a huge sin. i do that sometimes when i feel like i’ve been very good at following my training regimen.” grinning, he hopes that the girl would have some load taken off her shoulder.

trying to come up with some locations he’d like to visit, the dancer thought long and hard. “how about some korean food? the best thing to have after practice is warm soup with some flavour-rich side dishes and rice.”

i knew you were trouble,

[hyunarkarchive]

Hyo-jin was patient. Really, really, really patient. Plus, she enjoyed rides. Early in the morning, mid of the night, during the day, she loved being on the rode, it made her feel free from the city noise and lighting. The stress and anxiety completely removed as soon as she got to sit in the driver’s seat and just head off to somewhere unknown. 

[[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] do you really think that?  [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] you know i dislike my singing voice? right? it not like.. singer like? it not what the public is used to hearing [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] and the mvo stage… i think everyone will remember me as some emotional rapper or a crybaby.  [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] my dancing skills are amazing pls. ive actually gotten better at dancing since royal recruited me. [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] best rapper in the whole competition? [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] there was what… 4 rappers? is that even a competition? [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] don’t lie to me pls [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] she’s really close. tyga… no, im the dok2 to their the quiet.

It wasn’t that Hyo-jin was rich and she wanted to show off, but she didn’t feel like she would need the car anymore. Her eyes were focused on the new Mission E, by Porsche. Because, hot damn, was the design orgasmic! 

[[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] when was the last time you saw me crying? have you ever seen me cry or tear up?  [[ txt to;; mr low voice ]] but the reason behind my stage was, because my father disowned me. he kicked me out.

Elly sighed, running her fingers through her hair, she closed her eyes. She was aware that Wonwoo knew how close she was with her dad, considering she had canceled lessons to go and eat dinner with her dad because it was that rare she saw the old man. Yet, with just one appearance on TV, he had the courage to do that to her. The memory was still bitter, and probably forever would be

[rkwonwoo]

hearing his best friend talk herself down saddens him, smile tugged down into a frown. people come with their own set of imperfections. what most of us fail to realise is in fact the absence of a perfect being on earth. no one person can do everything perfectly, and not doing so well in a few things won’t kill anyone.

[ text → 엄마 #2 ] but you’re not that bad [ text → 엄마 #2 ] with practice you can improve for sure [ text → 엄마 #2 ] i sound like shit most of the time but i’m still disgustingly confident in myself [ text → 엄마 #2 ] i’ll vouch for you if the title of dancing queen ever goes up for grabs [ text → 엄마 #2 ] oh come on, you know you rocked the stage either ways [ text → 엄마 #2 ] do i know this friend of yours? it’s a not a guy, right?

most of the time, his overprotective persona is meant as a joke. the rapper knows how to take care of herself and he has no doubts that she can beat the crap out of anyone who she finds irritating. at times, he even fears for his own safety when he tells her a bad joke. however, hearing the female giving away her car is a surprise though, and he has to make sure this lucky person is a true friend of elly’s and not a mere freeloader.

[ text → 엄마 #2 ] you fought? [ text → 엄마 #2 ] maybe you should’ve signed up under your stage name and wear a mask [ text → 엄마 #2 ] i don’t think i’ve ever seen you cry... you need someone to talk to?

sighing, he wonders just how much secrets his friend is keeping. there’s only so much someone can handle on their own before they break.

[rkwonwoo]

[ ✉ wonwoo. ] It seems so. I'm just trying to find the time to look through our footage and find something where you're not annoyed at me. [ ✉ wonwoo. ] It's early for that.

[ text → scary hyun ] i think the last few takes were okay [ text → scary hyun ] ah but you should put the ones where you stepped on me with your heels ㅎㅎ [ text → scary hyun ] he thinks we’re dating… should we tell him or just pretend like it’s for real?

[rkwonwoo]

puberty hit me,

@rkjcshua

there’s nothing better than a glass of ice coffee when the weather’s hot, and his friends have given him the perfect reason to have lunch outside of his workplace. a small gathering arranged by his old friends from cali tempted him to ditch royal’s beautiful garden and so far he hasn’t regretted his decision. seeing familiar faces after so long makes him feel like he’s in middle school again, naive yet nasty.

some of the people there he doesn’t even recall, friends of a friend that he might’ve crossed paths once with. it’s all good though, as there’s a sense of belonging he’s been exempt of for a while since getting back to seoul. listening to some of the stories people have to tell, he finds it intriguing how much has happened in his friends’ lives without him knowing. distance does play a big part in determining how involved one is in another’s life, but one thing it never fails to do is to create longing and the desire to reunite.

eyes wandering around the cafe, he waves to some more friends, making small talk before getting back to prior conversations. it’s only when a brown-eyed male comes in that he actually gets up, smile blooming on his lips as he pulls the other into a quick hug.

“joshua! long time no see man, how have you been?” holding the other by his shoulders, he grins like a little kid and his eyes shine like he’s just been enlightened. “you look exactly the same. except for your height, you’ve grown so much!”

[rkwonwoo]

erase,

@rkhyunakim

“stop stepping on me when i get behind you.” scowling, the male shakes his foot fervently. the heels of hyuna’s shoes keep on finding its way onto his sneakers, making him yelp in pain as he lifts his foot away. the music stops and he lets out a deep breath before ruffling his own hair, tired from all the dancing he’s been doing all day.

“royal, soundbox, and now this... are you sure we can’t order jajangmyeon before we continue again?” sweat trickles down his temples, making him glow under the fluorescent lights. facing the mirror, he goes over his moves again, wondering if he’s the one who got too close to his dancing partner. calling her over, he inspects his moves.

“hyun, stand here and do that part again.” sliding his foot away, he successfully turns this time, without their feet getting tangled up and his poor pinky getting stabbed again. “okay that’s better. wanna try this again with the music?”
