what the actual fuck

“Well, if you ever need someone to take a break with, I don’t have a lot going on. I’m starving, so I was thinking….look for somewhere to eat and then go from there? I’m not really too sure what’s around here, honestly.”

“i mean, i didn’t think you did-- we’re kind of in foreign territory....literally.”

“I caught their stage on the first day of the tour, that was the first time I had ever seen them perform before,” Hayi recalled, looking over at him as she spoke. “They were really good.” She paused, dropping her head ever-so-slightly as she laughed softly at herself. “I was a little surprised when I saw Songyi go from the Unpretty stage to their stage, I couldn’t believe someone so young would work that hard unquestioningly.” Sometimes it was as if Hayi forgot she had started working almost two decades ago. That was so normal for her that when she saw idols doing it now, she was still taken aback like she had never seen someone do it before. She looked back up at him, smiling now as she replied. “I can imagine,” Hayi nodded. “Being any kind of manager has always seemed difficult to me, I bet a whole group would have so many more difficulties.” Hayi couldn’t help but laugh again at his last comment, having just thought the same thing. “It definitely seems like rookies are getting younger and younger, and that’s coming from me.”

yehwan smile a little wider, nodding. he loved all 7 members of toxxik, but there was something about songyi. she was so bright and energetic, and unflinchingly dedicated. talented, too. she was the heart of the group-- their morale booster, and their hypeman. “none of us really expected her to try out, but she did very well. i’m sure she liked it a lot too-- usually in group numbers, zumi is their rapper,” he explained. “and she’s been great. she hasn’t complained abotu full schedules once.” he chuckled, nodding. “well-- even look at the most recent idol project. the youngest one was thirteen. i can’t even wrap my head around that.”

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to, but I was planning on doing some sight seeing and I thought it could be good to go together. I don’t really…. Know who else to ask, and we can’t keep avoiding each other. Not that it’s worked all that well so far.”

“no-- it’d be nice to get some time away from the girls every once in a while. we can go wherever you’d like.”

[rvyehwan]

rvsongyi:

“that’s so nice of you to say!”

“it’s just true, kiddo-- don’t worry.”

[rvdyl]

“Next time there’s a free day, did you want to, maybe….I don’t know, go somewhere or something? I mean, as long as the girls don’t need you around.” @rvyehwan

he cleared his throat awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck. “i...i mean....if you want to, i could probably find time. they don’t need me 24/7.”

[rvsongyi]

“you’re even grumpier on the tour than you are in real life. you should be happier! we’re travelling the world!”

@rvyehwan

[rvyehwan]

“well, i will be. your energy is infectious.”

[rvyehwan]

rvbea:

“honestly, i couldn’t tell you.”

“gee, thanks bomi.”

[rvhayi]

“You’re Toxxik’s manager, right?” Hayi asked the man, trying to not come off as awkward as she broke the silence that had fallen over the near-empty room. “They’re really talented girls.” She said honestly, offering him a soft smile. When she reluctantly agreed wit go with the rest of Spotlight’s actors on the tour, she hadn’t known exactly what that would mean she would be doing while everyone else was performing, but it didn’t take long for her to learn that apparently touring included a lot of time spent in random rooms backstage when you weren’t actually needed anywhere. After almost two decades in the entertainment industry, Hayi sometimes felt like she had already met everyone, but the tour was just serving as a reminder to her that wasn’t always the case. “i don’t think I could ever do a job like yours,” Hayi continued, not wanting to have her attempt at starting a conversation with him to seem forced, “it always seems like group managers have so much to keep track of.”

the compliment towards his group prompted a smile-- no matter how much he denied it when the girls said it, he really kind of was a dad or an overbearing brother, and hearing them being praised struck a chord. “i’m glad you think so,” he replied, nodding. “they work hard. it’s good to know that their hard work isn’t going unnoticed.” because it could. so many well-prodouced hardworking groups got overlooked every day. he scratched his arm, thinking. “i....it’s a lot of work. lots of organization needed. but, it’s not like i’m running a daycare. most of them are in their twenties-- they’re fairly self reliant and work well together. i think i’m lucky-- there are some pretty young groups out there.” though, realistically, his had been pretty young come debut. songyi had been 14 and shea had been 15. they were still young, but the rest were good at helping him out.

“surprise?”

“is that implying that i have some, or that you’re her?”

“What’s the big deal about a ‘golden’ birthday anyway?” Yerin wondered aloud. “Should I just be celebrating being even older than the rest of my members now?”

[rvyehwan]

“i wouldn’t brag to their faces. yitta might kill you.”

[rvyehwan]

rvbea:

“you’re like a terrible dad.”

“god, i hope not. that would imply i have children i dont know about.”

[rvyehwan]

rvbella:

“Better. At least let me make you something, take it back to the office or wherever you go when you’re not watching us.”

“there’s a special dimension just for adults that i disappear into to recharge my robot batteries.”

[rvyehwan]

rvbea:

“how lame, dude.”

“so lame. sorry. too bad.”

[rvyehwan]

rvbella:

“Hey! I’m twenty years old, thank you. You wouldn’t be the only one over the age of nineteen.”

“the only one who isn’t a very-young adult, then?”

[rvyehwan]

rvpeach:

“Isn’t that what everyone dreams of? Just proving that you were the least stupid compared to everyone else?”

“not everyone else, yerin. just among siblings.”
