syfjade​:

“I don’t know what you mean,” Mijung said, looking everywhere but at Sunan. She knew perfectly well. The few times she’d made the mistake of clicking on her name as a trending topic or looking at the comments of a pann post, her innocent eyes had been met with disgusting fantasies about the most ridiculous things between the pair of them. Secret marriages, ‘sexual tension’—she would laugh if it weren’t so off putting—it was all part of the reason she decided to meet with Sunan in the first place. 

“Anyway, you’re the media-savvy one. What do we do to prove there’s absolutely nothing between us?”

Sunan wondered, not for the first time, how far he could push this before either Mingxia or Jade killed him in his sleep. Cats had nine lives and Sunan was pretty sure he did too, but he also had a healthy dose of self-preservation. Balance was key, just like their hapkido master had taught them. They leaned forward.

“I’m not sure why they believe it in the first place. You’re not exactly my type,” he said. Albeit, the list was a very selective one. 

“Well, we can’t release a statement; that’s as good as you telling them we once dated.” Also, depending on who released it, there was a chance someone’s more fervent fans were going to throw a fit. “Or you could go find yourself a scandal. I’m sure once they start shipping you with someone else, they’ll move on.” Or it would be a bloodbath with a shipping war. Either way, a good chance to promote their upcoming work.

syfchaerin​:

Chaerin smiles at that. “Maybe it won’t have to be,” she says. At least he’d agreed with her on something. “Breakup songs can be fun—even when they’re slow.” Most of her published discography is love songs, but some of Chaerin’s favorite songs she’s written are breakup songs. Writing love songs is fun, but breakup songs feel liberating—like letting go of a weight she didn’t know she was holding.

Who knows, maybe it’ll help Sunan chill out about the whole process. God knows they need anything they can get to help them get along better to finish this project.

“We’ve got a lot of room to do different styles,” she continues. “It doesn’t have to be sad. I don’t know if an angry breakup song would suit the artist, but we could go with something with a more vindictive tone. Or something more self-reflective. Depends on the story we want to tell.”

She flips her hair over her shoulder as she pens a few notes onto the pad of paper in front of her. She’s kind of excited now to see what they end up with. “Well? Where do you want to get started?”

Sunan wanted to get started with a shot of tequila, but they were not exactly in some comfortable bar somewhere. He really did not understand how this was conducive to the writing process. It was so... stale. But, then again, he grew up having to do his writing on the bus or in a random corner wherever his mom was working. Doing this in what was basically an office? That was just weird.

At least his last project with Chaerin had ended well. Though “Eight” had never been promoted, it had been considered a good song by their fans. This would probably be considered a cute little reunion for both their fandoms. Though, Sunan had not even been in that pre-debut music video, he was sure that would not stop the hype.

With that in mind, Sunan opened to a clean page in their notebook. They might have never been in love, but they certainly knew about an awful ex. They would just pull all inspiration from their parents failed romance. He had considered a few choice words to say to his dad before, but he supposed he could rewrite them to be poetic.

“Let’s start with the chorus. It’s going to be the part that gets stuck in everyone’s heads anyways,” they said. “Though, I don’t know how anyone is supposed to be inspired in this room.”

syfhyunjae​:

don’t wanna go home

@syfsunan

alcohol tw, mentions of fighting, strong language.

All Hyunjae had wanted was to be left alone as he drank himself into a nice buzz. He didn’t particularly want to even be at this party tonight, but his members insisted that he needed to loosen up and have fun again. This probably wasn’t the best way to get him back on the scene, though. Or any of them, for that matter.

None of them members knew v-trouble would be at the party. And they were just as their name implied—trouble.

It was natural that the Imaginair and v-trouble members didn’t mix well together. With all the tension between their groups, it would take a miracle for them to even share a friendly look. 

Hyunjae didn’t know them very well, not personally, but he didn’t need to know them to know he didn’t like them. But even with the animosity between them, that didn’t mean he wanted to confront them—especially not now, when he was still dealing with his own public humiliation.

A tight feeling pulls at Hyunjae’s chest as he weaves through the crowd, doing anything not to be noticed by the girls laughing and dancing. He was already well on his way to being drunk and just wanted so badly to stay out of fights tonight—was it so wrong to have a few drinks and relax?

This is so fucked up, hiding at a party where they should be the ones afraid of being caught by him. Anger flares in Hyunjae’s whole body as he reaches for a shot (a beer, a wine cooler, soju, anything) and mutters under his breath, “Fuck this.”

He wanders for a bit, looking for a place to hideout until one of his members found him, but the universe just isn’t looking on him kindly tonight.

As he stumbles around a corner, he finds himself in the company of HELLI0N’s leader, who looks up to greet him with a sharp expression. 

Sunan was bad news, at least in Hyunjae’s eyes. With anyone else, he could normally keep his temper controlled, but Sunan somehow managed to coax out his bad side every time they happened to run into each other. They’ve fought more often than not, and everything between them was a competition.

Was there anyone Hyunjae liked at this party?

They say something, probably an insult of some kind (because that’s all they can seem to say to each other), but Hyunjae’s not focused on them as movement catches his eye. It’s one of the v-trouble members looking for drinks, her eyes scanning the room, so close to where the two rappers are standing—

Hyunjae panics. 

On drunken impulse, Hyunjae’s fingers wrap tight around Sunan’s wrist and he drags the other with him, out of sight.

Sunan wondered for a moment if Hyunjae had finally lost it. Was he drunk? Was Sunan going to have to fight him? Oh no, had he finally realized his utter devotion to Sunan? That occasionally happened and Sunan was not ready to stomach a love confession from Hyunjae of all people. It would end in blood and they had a feeling Mural would not take kindly to that.

Sunan was self-aware enough to know that they brought out the worst in Hyunjae. Still, they weren’t going to make it easy on him. Sunan was easily bored and sometimes, that meant taking it out on Hyunjae. Nothing short of the latter telling their mother could stop it. 

They swore while trying to rip their arm away from Hyunjae.

“Are you trying fight with me or flirt with me?” 

They glared, letting Hyunjae which one would be more welcome. Maybe the hiatus had driven Hyunjae to the brink. Sunan was prepared to smugly remind Hyunjae exactly who was winning their competition (after all, he was getting a credit on the next comeback), when Sunan spotted exactly what Hyunjae was running from. 

“Are you telling me I was kidnapped me because you’re scared of someone half your size? I am not a bodyguard, you know.”

♡ WayV-ehind] ‘Our Home : WayV with Little Friends’ 

[syfsunan]

Sunan looked between the mirror to their heavily stylized hair, then back at the supposed Halloween costume that they were currently wearing. They didn’t actually care about dressing up for the holiday, but even they had questions about this. “What is this costume you picked out for me supposed to be? And how am I supposed to livestream my baking in this?”

[syfsunan]

syfmingxia​:

Mingxia loved black tie occasions. It wasn’t like she needed an excuse to dress up, but not having groups of people call her pretentious and snobby for wearing what she liked was a boon. Her ever-growing collection of couture evening gowns needed to be shown off, especially if it was one she had bought herself. The fashion landscape was everchanging and it was important to her to promote designers that she liked.

Today’s gown was one for Luisa Beccaria’s fall 2021 couture collection. It’s summery Mediterranean vibes had caught her attention immediately amongst the drab stuff that looked fit to give her a heatstroke if worn indoors. The colours was still muted enough that it didn’t look out of place, like a last ode to the jovial landscape before the reds and yellows of fall took over. She owned two dresses from the small collection, and had chosen the strapless, muted turquoise-green one for tonight.

The understated, delicate pink embroidery and shawl-like side sleeves made it dazzling without looking like a disco ball. Not that she was against that type of look, but it was more a winter type of style. Still, she couldn’t resist some sparkles and had thus paired the dress with a few white gold pieces from Bvlgari’s Fiorever collection. White gold and diamonds was a more winter vibe, but she hadn’t managed to find something with stones that matched the dresses well enough. Also the current trend seemed to be pendant necklaces, which was just not something she wore for occasions like this.

Like many black tie events however, this party was turning out to be horrendous due to some of the guests. Mingxia was not one to dwell on how some people managed to get invitations - that just wasn’t her problem. She didn’t recognize most of the other idols invited usually. Sometimes their group names ringed vague bells. The one here tonight - or at least one member - had probably promoted at the same time as f.all recently. She never really bothered to keep up with other groups otherwise.

Hiding a fox-like smile by taking a sip of her champagne, she gave a quiet hum of approval as Sunan voiced their suggestion. “Sounds like a marvelous idea. And don’t get me started - bright green, in fall? It must be her first time wearing an evening gown.”

Sunan was suddenly glad that Min liked him. Well, more than she liked most people. At least, he was never worried that should would end up stabbing him someday. However, in this particular evening, he was looking forward to seeing her devious mind at work. Though he knew she had other motivations for doing such a thing, the end results were the same. Sunan was no longer going to be bored this evening.

He looked at the gown in question. He didn’t know shit about clothing until he met Min, but even he understood that was a terrible choice for that girl’s complexion. It drew eyes in the absolutely worse way. He debated the idea of leading her on and flirting a bit, but he brushed that away. He wasn’t sure he was that good of an actor.

Sunan was good at being blunt to destroy someone entirely, but there was a certain art to subtlety. Considering there were big names in the business, it was probably best to go that route as opposed to making the girl outright cry in front of everyone. Though, he would call that Plan B.

“She keeps going on about the next comeback in October and how great it is. Don’t you have a comeback in October?” he asked, nonchalantly. 

So did a lot of groups, but he loved stirring up Min’s inner competition. That or her disdain. He was not sure if she considered anyone worthy of being her competition. He continued drinking his champagne.

“How should we go about this? Is there any gossip about her?” he asked. If not, they could create some. His eyes lit up. “Is there anyone important here we can have a talk with her in front of?”

[syfsunan]

syfchaerin​:

Chaerin twirls her pen between her fingers, smiling lightly despite the annoyance she feels. She wants Sunan to take this seriously, but he refuses to listen.

The two of them had been specifically hired to write this song together, an interesting collaboration pulled together by the singer’s company. She doesn’t know why Sunan was picked. As far as Chaerin knew, Sunan hadn’t even expressed interest in songwriting. His inexperience for writing for other artists is clearly showing, though.

“We have to write something to fit the artist’s concept,” she says. “Since we were hired to write for them, we should create something with them in mind.”

She’d written a few notes beforehand, some ideas she’d pulled together after doing some research on the singer. In all honesty, there wasn’t much to go on lyrically. Their concept was mainly based in their genre and styling, but their song lyrics contained a much larger range of topics. There was one similarity, though: They were all love songs.

Yeah, she doubted Sunan would go for that.

“Well,” she starts thoughtfully. “What if we wrote a breakup song?”

Sunan thought about it for a moment. He had never had a breakup, as that would have involved an actual relationship and not just him telling people to get away from him. But, he had certainly felt his share of pain and suffering across his life. He could do this. 

He knew the reason he got this job was because of HELLI0N and their reputation for being self-produced. Sunan, by himself, did not exactly have much of a reputation. This was a chance to prove himself to the company that just maybe, he should actually be allowed to write the lyrics for something in a future comeback. Sunan didn’t mind being a liar, but he sure as hell resented being told he could not do something. 

Sunan tapped his pen repeatedly contemplating this. It would be so much easier to do this by himself, but at least he no longer felt the need to go Old Testament on anyone anymore.

“Fine, we can do a break up song,” he said. Sunan supposed there would be time later to expand. “But not a cliché one even if it does have to be slow.” 

[syfsunan]

syfjade​:

“It’s not like I want to spend my free time with you,” Mijung said in a low his of a whisper. She got enough of Sunan at work. Meeting with him in an out of the way café was not her idea of a fun time. She’d rather be practicing for her next comeback.

“We need to find a way to put an end to all those rumors. I’m tired of it.”

Sunan admittedly appreciated Jade’s blunt nature. It cut through a lot of bullshit, which was hard to find in their industry. 

 “Ah, you don’t want to put your name on my family registry? I’ll try to control my grief.” He tried to hold back a grin, but was failing. Admittedly, he did not try that hard. It was a slow week and this was a nice distraction. “I have to admit, your fans do get a bit... interesting about it though.”

syfmason​:

Mason was always happy to help anyone who asked him, and today was no exception. Another member of Helli0n was having trouble with the new choreography, and he had asked Mason to review it with him. He had been helping him for the past hour, and sweat clung to Mason’s bangs, glueing them to his forehead. The other member thanked Mason before leaving the room, leaving Mason to sit down next to his leader and friend, basically chugging water to get his heart rate back to normal.

Mason beamed at the word “cute,” placing his hands under his chin and tilting his head and blinking. “I’m the cute one?” he asked before letting out a laugh and shaking his head. “I’d love to, I really worked up an appetite dancing.” He wiped his forehead before nodding towards the notebook. “What’re you working on, Hyung?”

“Don’t take it to heart, my mom has terrible taste in men,” they said. "Though, I swear, she knows more about idols than I do.”  Their mom had become 100% devoted to the HELLI0N and it was endearing, if a bit overwhelming. Sunan always felt the need to do his best, but also convince her not to become the head of his fandom. 

“You know, I think she is in charge for the sale of half my merch. Last time we went to Thailand, she gave keychains out to everyone. But she collected the whole group set. I think you might be her second favorite.” He side-eyed him.

Sunan looked down at their notepad. “I am trying to come up with a song to present to the company. You know, get credit for something I actually wrote for once.” They handed him the notepad. “What do you think so far?”

[syfsunan]

syfilhoon​:

ilhoon looked over to sunan with a sort of side eye motion. “dude, i always look handsome. even when  exhausted” he chuckled leaning back against the sofa he was sitting in. he couldn’t lie, that the spot that he was seated was getting extremely comfortable. ilhoon raised his hands about his head streatching for a moment before going back to the spot he was in.

ilhoon closed his eyes for a moment and shrugged again. “i mean if you want to use this as an excuse to not go its alright. but if i take a nap we’ll miss the movie” which was one hundred percent correct. there weren’t many times they were able to just ‘go to the movies’ like normal people. “plus, i’m kind of excited”

Sunan shrugged. Far be it for them to stop someone from making a poor life decision. At the very least, someone not from their group. It was already a full-time job running after them all. Still, they were definitely going to smack Ilhoon on the head if he conked out during the movie. 

“No, I need a good movie. The inspiration might help me write something half-decent.” They started leading him out the door. The theater was a close walk, but Sunan still covered their face with a mask. “But I am definitely getting you the biggest soda they have.” Though, to be fair, their satchel was already filled with baked goodies. Sunan’s mom had never been one for actually paying for movie snacks.

@syfmason​

Some people might have expected that Sunan was a slacker. After all, he was only the lead rapper, a sub-vocalist, and a former iljin. People sometimes expected he would slack off or work less hard than the mains in the group. Nothing could be further from the truth, considering Sunan himself was a workaholic. However, people seemed to forget the fifteen years of poverty and focused on the next few years he spent basically being a chaebol. 

Of course, that meant Sunan needed to prove himself. So, he had given everything to writing. But, even he needed a break. Besides, he could never say no to his mom. He turned to Mason, who was sitting next to him.

“Want to come over for dinner? My mom is making kao ka mo. At least, I think she meant you. She said to bring over ‘the cute one’ over.” He hmphed.

everybody wants to be a cat

@syfyunlong

The second Sunan called Yun “gege”, they knew their elder cousin would be doing whatever they planned for the rest of the evening. If he spoke in Mandarin instead of Korean? Well, that was just the icing on the cake. He had wanted to go to a bar and drink his weight in soju, maybe have a laugh at a drunk Yun. Nowhere in that plans had a cat cafe been involved. But, Sunan supposed leaving was better than getting kicked out of a bar and having dispatch find out.

“I still think I could have taken them all, we didn’t need to leave,” they muttered.

 And honestly, it was hard to keep a frown on their face when a cat was purring against them. The sweet smell of cake was also making his mouth water. Fuck, was that strawberry? There was still the bitter taste of alcohol in their mouth and that sounded delicious. Especially those with actual berries on top of them.

Fine, they could stay.

“Gege, buy something for me.”

Dr. Love thinks a relationship might work out between Park Chaerin and Jaijakgrawan Sunan, but the chance is very small. A successful relationship is possible, but you both have to work on it. Do not sit back and think that it will all work out fine, because it might not be working out the way you wanted it to. Spend as much time with each other as possible. Again, the chance of this relationship working out is very small, so even when you do work hard on it, it still might not work out.

@syfjade​

It wasn’t that Sunan hated Jade by any means. Really, he generally alternated between not caring about her in the slightest and reluctant respect. However, it was incredibly fun to tease her. Also, it drove Min insane, which was always a bonus. 

“As far as the internet is concerned, we are practically married,” Sunan said. They then yanked a cookie of the plate. “Is there a reason you called me here all secretive?”
