“you know, i’m really glad new age kept up with the units,” bomi said softly. “i was worried, because with terra being before us, and their units kind of... disappearing.... i dunno. and it does frustrate me that the units get more love and attention than the main group. but it is nice to have some variety-- in concept and in numbers.” @rvlixue​

bohye was upset. she was used to criticism and people trying to make fun, but sometimes it was a little too much, and some people went too far. and while distich was doing a meet and greet for their new album, someone– a fan or reporter, bohye couldn’t tell– had yelled at her. told her her gimmick was stale and that she was holding the group back. told her that she had no stage presence, and that she was probably hiding behind her mask because she was ugly. told her that she was unprofessional. and it was too much. before the event even ended, she’d excused herself in tears, running to the green room and starting to cry. @rvlixue​ @rvyoungki @rvbeomsoo​ @bomirv​ @rvsehwan​ @rvmindeulle​ @rvyoungjin​

if bomi had any sort of rage or malice in her heart, she would have torn the fan apart. she would have ended his life right then and there. but instead she froze as groupmates and staff dealt with it, watching someone she cared so much about be so wounded, walk away. she tried to shake off her shock, quickly standing up and following bohye, wrapping her in her arms. “none of what they said was true, bohye. i need you to know it. they’re a dirty liar.”

“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​ 

[rvxbomi]

“how would one even go about making that happen?” bomi asked, pointing out what she assumed to be the obvious. they were idols-- in a lot of ways, they were kind of stunted. she didn’t think any of them knew the first thing about renting party busses. “even if we get management to do it, do you think they’d really go for that?”

rvmindeulle​:

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.”

“i know that, and i know you know that, but i don’t know. i feel like sometimes there’s just a vibe, you know?” bomi retorted, frowning. “less so than when we first debuted, but i just... it sometimes feels like you could cut the tension in the room with a knife when we get our new songs and go to record them.” and it always made her feel awful, because if it were up to bomi, it just wouldn’t be that way. “i hope they do. but i fear they won’t. look at terra...”

rvsehwan​:

he hummed, rubbing his chin. “well……i think wanting to save your voice is a good idea, considering how many tour stops we have,” he pointed out. “i think maybe there could be opportunities to change the choreography? like still have you dance when it’s not your part, but maybe have you step out of the formation when you have to sing?”

“that’s what i was thinking too... maybe i can skip a couple of more challenging notes-- i’m sure the fans would forgive me,” she said with a sigh. “yeah, that’s a good idea. i might get everyone together to run a few of the songs so i can practice doing that without fucking anyone up...”

[rvxbomi]

they’d still been dancing around each other, even after they made amends. it was better now, for sure– they could be around each other and talk to each other now, which was an improvement. but there was an underlying question that neither of them had the guts to ask; are we going back to how things were before?

bomi wanted to. but what if jin didn’t?

she hit her breaking point, though– with them being on better terms now, every time they were alone, it was just building sexual tension. and now, they were alone in the dorm, both cooking in the small kitchen area, when he’d stepped around her, hand grazing her waist only briefly. it was enough. she turned around, and before he could grab the plate he was going for, she pulled him down to kiss her.

“i need help, and you’re the only person who can help me,” bomi said dramatically, offering youngki a smile so he knew it was a joke. “i know i’m an entire comeback season removed from it all, but i still feel super insecure about my rap section in adios. like i just feel like i sound bad. i need your help to … not sound bad.” @rvyoungki​
