“i know that you were scheduled for the next cover on the distich youtube channel, but i need a huge favor,” sehwan asked earnestly, eyes pleading. “it’s my sister’s birthday the day after the cover is supposed to come out. i was wondering if you and i could trade, and i could post a cover that day? or maybe we could collab? i want to do a medley of her favorite songs, and some of her groups songs…” @rvbeomsoo​ @rvlixue​ @rvmindeulle​

[rvmindeulle]

Duri was still trying to decide what she was going to record for the next cover. She had her options down to a couple songs, but she definitely was freaking out a bit. So when Sehwan suggested trading spots there was a small hit of relief in the back of her head. She gave him a grin. “It sounds like you’ve got a more solid plan than I do, so yeah, for sure you can go before me!”

[rvmindeulle]

"You know, I think Left and Right might be the goofiest one we've ever filmed, but I kinda love it," Duri said. "No lie, I like looking cool and all but I missed doing a fun concept like that."

“alright– hear me out,” iori began seriously, eyeing all their groupmates. “every idol group comes to schedules in those black vans. it’s tired. it’s boring. it’s a thing of the past. i say, for our next group schedule, we rent a party bus. with the ugly 80s shag rug from floor to ceiling and everything. what could go wrong?” @rvlixue @rvyoungki @rvbeomsoo @rvsehwan @rvmindeulle​ @rvbomi​ 

[rvmindeulle]

“I’m just imagining all the buzz if we roll up in one of them,” Duri said with a laugh. “The party doesn’t start ‘til Distich arrives!”

[rvmija]

“i feel like if new age ever does a company wide concert, our groups should just  swap songs,” mija said abruptly, mischievous grin on her face. “like not even just for a special stage. all the songs. we don’t say anything about it, and just do it. i just think that would be funny.” @rvmindeulle​

[rvmindeulle]

"See, they might not even notice the songs were swapped until Distich does Hi High, then they might be like hey, I think something might be going on,” Duri said with a laugh. “Don’t get me wrong, the guys would probably still kill it, though.”

“well…some others definitely need an apology more than you do…” she said. their poor lead vocalist got scrapped. “but still. it’s not fair that i get so much compared to everyone else. i’m going to go talk to our producers this afternoon…” bomi insisted.

Duri got to show off the most within their group after Bomi so she could acknowledge the truth in what her groupmate said. She nodded. “I guess so, but that’s not what I mean -- I just don’t think it’s something you need to apologize for, it wasn’t your decision to make the lines like they are,” she said. “Talking with them sounds like a good idea, though... if they’ll listen.”

[bomirv]

“i’m sorry,” bomi said quickly, looking up from the dispatch article when she saw duri come into the room. “i know we have no control over line distribution, but i’m so sorry still…. i don’t mean to come across like the only member of disitch-g…. you have an incredible voice too, and it’s not fair…. i’m so sorry…” @rvmindeulle​

[rvmindeulle]

Duri had been trying to get better at tuning out anything related to dispatch (and most socials, really) lately, so she wasn’t sure exactly why the sudden apology came about. But knowing how Distich fans were, she could make a wild guess. “I don’t think you come across like that? You don’t have to apologize, legit.”

xifengrv​:

“there has to be some sort of backstage politics we aren’t seeing or something. there’s no way that they’re actually treating ahki like this, not punishing her,” xifeng sighed. “that doesn’t make it right, of course, but it’s an explanation at least.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if there were, honestly,” Duri responded.  “In any case, I hope that Siren treats her better, whenever that new group of theirs debuts. They’ve had an okay track record so far. ... Well, mostly.”

[rvmindeulle]

rvdaeseok​:

“i get it. my group wasn’t quite as large as yours, but it definitely felt….different being whole instead of now, being on my own. better. more natural.”

"Going solo after being in a group for so long probably felt pretty jarring, I’d bet.”

[rvmindeulle]

rvliyang​:

“oh, i know! imagine if this coed group does creed and unity numbers? you guys totally paved the way, and won’t get any of the credit. it’s a scam.”

"We already barely get credit as is, so like... word. Totally a scam. Hope those kids realize what they're getting into."

[rvmindeulle]

rvdohee​:

“you know, as crazy as byulbit is, it’s kind of smart,” she commented. “groups like mine can’t be promoting globally all year. but technically, byulbit can….” she giggled. “i can’t tell if you’re being serious or not, but either way, you’re welcome!”

“If I see Rejectz promoting year-round, I can only assume that science made enough leaps in progress to start cloning idols for real, or you all are just super good at masking sleep deprivation,” Duri laughed. “Hey, I’m serious if you are... I needed that.”

[rvmindeulle]

rvsolhee​:

“didn’t you see? they got a ~break~. that makes everything better,” solhee said sarcastically, laughing. 

"Right, totally my bad. Forgot that a few month break just resets any issues,” Duri  laughed.

[rvmindeulle]

rvdohee​:

“if you count all the units, new age has like…… thirty groups. and i know terras units dont really do anything anymore, but both of distich’s get promoted pretty well, and havent been forgotten about yet since byulbit’s. have faith– i’m sure you’ll be fine.”

“And about half of those units are all just some variation of Byulbit,” Duri laughed. “Thanks, Dohee. That means a lot.”

[rvmindeulle]

rvhope​:

“well….maybe. but if you think about it,” hoa began, taking another moment to think. “most units only will get one song a year, and only the korean group is going to have a traditional music show promotion schedule. the other units are going to travel, but tons of groups have one or two comebacks a year and spend the rest of the time touring. she’s busy, but……i think it’s not too ridiculous. or not as ridiculous as it sounds, at least,” she pointed out. “being in five byulbit units is a lot different than, say….being in five korean girl groups. i guess.”

“You’ve got a point there. Traveling is still pretty taxing, but at least it’s not traveling and the promotion schedule as well. At least, not as rigorous as the usual one, I guess,” Duri said. “I gotta wonder how much more out whack your sleep schedules are going to be with all that traveling, though.“

[rvmindeulle]

xifengrv​:

“nothing. nothing is going on. that’s the problem,” xifeng laughed. “everyone in charge has cheese for brains. i’m pretty sure h2h fans are about to start a fucking riot.”

“Honestly, they may as well have just debuted the leader of the group as a soloist if they were going to treat Ahki like this. That shit’s baffling. Most of the decisions are, really.”

[rvmindeulle]

rvsolhee​:

“oh, i didn’t even think of that!” solhee exclaimed. “all the ideas on my bingo card were people doing dumb stuff, not the company getting in shit for exploiting their younger talent. huh– you know, that’s probably pretty likely. “

"I’m kind of surprised it hasn’t happened sooner, honestly? Given how infamously packed Venus’ schedules have been. I guess there’s gotta be a breaking point eventually, though.”

[rvmindeulle]

xifengrv​:

“no one knows how liberty works in general, let alone with tattoos. spotlight gets a bad rep, but liberty is lucky they’re so lowkey. otherwise they’d be up there too,” xifeng snorted.

“Oh, I’m not knocking Spotlight or anything - I just know they’ve got more of an image thing,” Duri replied. “But yeah, with the little stuff I see coming out of Liberty I do wonder what goes on.”

[xifengrv]

“how long do i need to be an idol for before i can get a full sleeve tattoo,” xifeng mused aloud. “like, i don’t even know if i want one yet. but i just want to know…”

[rvmindeulle]

“I mean, if you were at Spotlight or something? Probably never. But I dunno how Liberty is like with tattoos.”
