with her debut right on the horizon, goeun had began to be invited to company events, which she typically attended with her step-father. but with yoonseok otherwise occupied that day in particular, goeun was on her own, deciding that the least terrifying option was to stick by someone who looked closest to her age. now all that was left was the hardest part, if you asked goeun-- starting a conversation. “um....what’s it like? being in two companies at once? does that mean you have two different managers?” @rvzbomi​

[rvgoeun]

“this feels weird,” goeun admitted softly, rolling back onto her knees on serika’s bed and looking out the window wistfully. “everyone just debuted one after the other, so fast. the house just feels so empty...” @rvjinkyung​

[rvgoeun]

“i’m super happy for you, but i kind of miss you at home,” goeun admitted. she’d gone from living with four siblings, to now just one. “what’s the dorm like now that you’ve debuted-- you have to share a room now, don’t you?” @rvdongeun​ @rvserika @rvsoeun​

[rvgoeun]

“i would have thought you’d be the first to debut, not one of the last of us,” goeun commented, before turning bright red and looking over at naeun, flustered. “oh no-- that came out wrong. i didn’t mean that in a bad way! i just.... you’re the eldest and...... i-i’m sure it’ll happen soon!” @rvnaeun​

[rvgoeun]

“oh-- i didn’t think anyone else would be here,” goeun said, eyes wide as she nearly jumped out of her skin. she should have thought more-- dongeun lived with eleven other people, after all. “i um.... was making cookies with my sister, and we made way too many for us to eat ourselves. especially with her just debuting and all so uh.... i thought i’d bring some over here! i... i’m dongeun’s sister, it’s nice to meet you....” @rvdaul​ 

[rvgoeun]

she hadn’t officially debuted yet, but she was getting closer to that threshold. and with her skills blossoming more and more every day, millenium had started sending her out for smaller roles-- one episode extras, some music videos, cfs.... and today in particular, she’d been sent for a cf, where she was to play an idols younger sister. ironically, something she had irl experience with. after she’d gotten her makeup done, she hesitantly went to beom’s dressing room door, knocking gently. “hello? i just thought i’d introduce myself before filming starts...” @rvbeomsoo​

[rvgoeun]

rvyoonseok​:

“sweetheart, i’m hardly too busy. and i’m definitely less busy than naeun is,” he said with a little chuckle. “bring me the script. lets see what i can do to help you out.”

“don’t you have a drama that’s about to start filming? you should be studying your own lines...” she insisted, dragging her feet before nodding, running over to get her extra script so he could give him one of them. “it’s not much. just a scene. it’s not a big eval, but....” she trailed off.

[rvgoeun]

rvkyuyeol​:

“don’t worry– i have plenty of time,” he assured her gently. “i don’t have anywhere to be until 5. should we find an open practice space?”

she nodded emphatically, trying not to turn beat red with every dialogue exchange she had with him. “i.... i think the main trainee studio is open, if you would like? it’s a little drafty but..... there’s lots of space...” she mumbled

[rvgoeun]

rvwook​:

“You’re fine, I’m not busy–I just haven’t ran lines before. Do I just read it out loud to you or what?” Jaewook asked.

she nodded quickly. “yeah.. i just need to memorize my lines so i can give a good performance, and hearing the other lines read to me helps with that and helps with timing and everything,” she explained.

[rvgoeun]

rvxdokyoung​:

“don’t need to get weird– i have time,” dokyoung answered, shrugging. “as long as you don’t expect a like… performance from me or something.”

“no, no,” goeun said quickly, flustered. “i’m the one who’s being evaluated. that’s my job. i just need to hear the lines so i can get used to timing.”

[rvgoeun]

rvkyuyeol​:

he smiled at the trainee. he remembered being an idol trainee and how overwhelming it felt– he liked to try to help out the millenium trainees whenever possible. “i’d love to help you out,” he assured her. “how long is your scene?”

she blushed when he smiled at her, eyes going a little wide. this was kyu. from empire. huge actor who helped found the company, and celebrity hunk. and he was going to help her. “oh um...” she stumbled over her words, almost dropping her script. “fifteen pages. twenty minutes. i think. is that too long? i don’t want to bother you....”

[rvgoeun]

rvcaptain​:

“i got you, goeun. we’ll get you a great eval grade,” junghoon encouraged, clapping her on the shoulder. “what’s the tone?”

she smiled, letting out a little giggled. “the tone? oh. um.... sad, but hopeful, you know? like you’re really upset but you know that better times are coming.”

[rvgoeun]

rvnaeun​:

“it’s my day off, goeun. i have time,” naeun told her sister with a little eyeroll. “give me the script– how long is it?”

“um.... four pages. about five minutes. are you sure? don’t you have training to do?”

[rvgoeun]

rvsumitra​:

“maybe i’m just being too sensitive,” she answered, looking down, ashamed. “i just.. i’m kind of used to people assuming the worst after dispatch took their shots, you know?”

“no, i get it. you’re not being to sensitive,” goeun assured her. “dispatch has been weird about me my entire life. i know what it’s like when they get something wrong but everyone thinks it’s right.”

[rvgoeun]

rvjinkyung​:

“baby, we can still do that from home. a little change of plans is nothing to get too worked up over,” she assured her daughter, rubbing her back. “we can play a board game? or watch a movie? or bake something? you can sleep in tomorrow morning too, but you look anxious sweetheart– i don’t want you to have to keep up the public act if you’re already on alert.”

she frowned. she’d been trying to hide it, but give it to her mother to read right through her. she sighed. “um.... i guess.....i want to bake something. do we even have ingredients, though?”

[rvgoeun]

rvyujeong​:

“oh, i like acting– that sounds kind of cool,” yujeong admitted. “i’ll read it with you. do you have to be completely off book?”

she nodded quickly. “they want me off book, but if i mess up the first time, i can read the script before i try again.... but i don’t want that to happen,” she admitted. “that’s so embarrassing.”

[rvgoeun]

rvminjeong​:

minjeong couldn’t be an idol, really. clearly that wasn’t her path. but she was hoping that if she stuck around millenium, maybe someone would want her to act. “oh, sure– i’d love to help!” the intern retorted. this was her first opportunity to check out a script and get some practice in, right?

she breathed a tiny sigh of relief. “thank you so much,” the trainee retorted quietly. “i... i have an extra copy of my script i can give you...” she said, grabbing her backpack to rifle through it.
