while you’re enjoying the main festival activities, a man in a white-collared shirt approaches you. despite being dressed much more formally than any of the other music fest attendees, he doesn’t seem to have any shame or awkwardness, a casual confidence in his demeanor as he introduces himself.

“do you have a minute? i’m han chanhee. i work for studio delta, but not with jude who’s performing today. i’m a talent scout.” he hands you his business card and sure enough, it confirms everything he just said aloud. “we’re actually holding private auditions in a few weeks and were asked to invite anyone who we thought stood out in the crowd. you’re a good looking young person and if you’re here, you must like music. have you ever thought about becoming an artist before?”

he waits patiently for your response, a casual smile on his face as he watches you process everything he just said. there’s a hint of smugness to his expression, as if he feels like he’s doing you a favor by even talking to you. maybe he is; it’s not every day you get invited to audition at a major entertainment company.

“if you’re any good, we’ll want you as one of our trainees. you know our reputation, right? we’re creating artists, not just idols. if that’s something you’re up for, send me a message. my information is all there. we’ll look forward to seeing what you can do.”

chanhee takes a second to shake your hand and thank you for your time before he leaves, not wasting any time. he’s very efficient, but still polite.

you’re shitting me, is on the tip of jinyoung’s tongue but he has the sense to keep the words to himself. a studio delta scout? in the middle of the music fest? paying attention to him? there’s a vain part of jinyoung that doesn’t think that he should be surprised —just look at him, he’s easily one of the best looking people at the festival— but not even he is that conceited. studio delta? really?? he almost can’t believe it.

he’s sure to thank the scout, han chanhee, for his time. he never in his wildest dreams thought he’d have a shot; his goals were always set on lime entertainment where he could at least get by with his dance skills, not considering himself the most creative person the way studio delta is known for.

still, he pockets the card carefully, knowing that he’ll be reaching out as soon as he can to send an email to schedule his audition. shit. he needs to come up with something to do at said audition. well, he has time to prepare. he has to admit, he’s looking forward to this.

OOC:

please post this section under a read more with the rest of the submission.

congratulations! your muse has been invited to audition for studio delta! auditions will take place on saturday, august 13th at the studio delta building. your muse will be instructed that check-in begins at 7am and no auditionees will be allowed in after it closes promptly at 8am. the check-in process involves filling out a form on an ipad which is essentially a performance resume, asking about any previous experience, training, or special skills along with basic information such as name, date of birth, email, address, phone number, height, and weight. each auditionee will also be assigned a number at check-in.

while not a public audition, the waiting room will be full of other teens and young adults who were recruited by studio delta talent scouts. ten hopefuls will be lead into the evaluation room at a time, with the next ten lined up by the door waiting for their turn. it can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes for the next group to be escorted into the room.

the first room the auditionees are taken to is a makeshift photography studio with a plain white backdrop. each hopeful will be given a quick camera test, a few profile shots snapped from different angles. the cameraman will direct your muse to smile, but not to pull any serious or crazy expressions.

both the photos and the forms that were filled out during check-in will be sent to the evaluators, who will meet the group of ten in the next room over.

once in front of the evaluators, each auditionee will have 60 seconds to impress the judges with a performance of their own choice. please note that background music will have to be prepared in advance; a staff member will ask for a USB or CD with the backtrack as you enter the room. if you did not prepare any, you’ll have to perform a capella. there is a video camera in the room recording every audition.

each auditionee will be expected to step forward and introduce themselves by name and number once its their turn. the judges may let you perform the entire 60 seconds or may cut you off early. after everyone in the room has performed, the evaluators may ask a few basic questions: why are you here? why do you want to be part of studio delta? can you explain or show this other talent you listed on your form? what do you think your greatest strength is? your greatest weakness?

once the evaluators are done with the group, they’ll be dismissed through a different door than the one they entered into. they’ll be thanked for coming by a staff member and told that the judges will consider their auditions carefully and they’ll be in touch once a decision is made. the auditionees will be escorted out of the building.

TASK:

please write a 300+ word solo about your muse’s audition. while you’re welcome to write about the entire process, please be sure to include what specifically your muse performed for the judges in their allotted 60 seconds. you can choose if they were cut off or allowed to perform it all.

please submit a link to your solo to the event blog once it’s complete. all solos are due no later than 11:59pm on saturday, august 20th.

clues

i agree with what was said on the post before. i think kaya is seeing a friend from the group and that is why the whole commotion behind it. as for jungkook on my point of view he must be on the run since he doesnt want to go back to where he came from. you wise - i would say it wont be someone from the main group otherwise the person would be just crazy to give in their own secrets (assuming everyone of them will have their secrets exposed) so it must be someone close to them but not that close. tzuyu would be too obvious although it would be great to have girl drama haha i guess we need to read more to know! i’m also interested in couples, kaya and the anon guy sparked something in me as well as freya and yoongi being cute on the corridors (i know they are friends but still). and the friendship overall. cant wait to see more and their development 🗣

[horusacademy]

Maybe it was better send this way... Dumb me.

I'm also curious about Freya. I know she is covering for Kaya, and we all know now that Kaya is afraid her brother finds out so she must be involved with someone he is close to right? Like a friend of his. I trust is someone from the group. But Freya is still a mystery to me... Why would be her doing that? It could easily been Elena doing it, especially because she is Kaya's roommate, not Freya. And ok she is bold and everything else but something tells me a little secret is hidden there perhaps... Or maybe I'm just overthinking. 

+ I would also like to add my curiosity over Jungkook and why the hell he has to stay away from trouble all the time. Did he previously go to jail and is on the run? That would be too chaotic... And why is Yoongi always on school property?! Why can't he go home??? Oh my God, so many questions!

@rkhyunjoon

he’d asked if he could stop by briefly–not stay–with the excuse he left something there last time he was over. not a total lie, he had left one of his various chargers, but that was more on purpose so he would have one at their place. he had really wanted to come by to give sungho hyung something. knowing it was the older males birthday and wanting to give his favorite person a gift. 

it was rather simple, he put his culinary skills to the work once more but instead of cupcakes or anything, he had made sungho and inho a dinner. something he has done before, enjoying his time cooking for anyone. he threw together some japchae and various side dishes and when he got to their place he scurried to the kitchen to put it away as well as leave his main gift on the counter with a note attached. he didn’t want to bother them too much–as he hadn’t on inho’s birthday–so he made sure not to loiter too long. “happy birthday hyung…” he muttered almost shyly, hesitating for a moment before giving sungho a quick hug.  “i uh.. i make you and inho hyung some dinner so you guys could just… relax tonight or whatever….” he kept his eyes lowered once he pulled away. “but.. yeah, happy birthday.” with his piece said, he was quick to escape, feeling a little shy but content. he just wanted his hyungs to have good birthdays.

( in the gift bag left on the counter is three items; a pair of black earphones with skulls on the ear piece part, and a red & black ball cap, and finally a small note that says ‘the cap looked cool and i thought it’d match with your varying color scheme of clothing + the headphones to ignore all the annoying people outside, i have a pair and they’re really noise canceling'  sitting next to it is an envelope which inside has a copy of his current grade report showing the rise in grades and another smaller note 'thank’s for not letting up on me with school. happy birthday, sungho hyung’ )

lately, it’s like sungho’s so high strung, stretched until the tension is unbearable and he’s taught with anxieties and repressed excess emotion, that he might snap at the slightest poke or prod. his birthday has been no better. he spent the day just pining for home, for the quiet company of inho and the cat, only to be tricked into a social event he had never asked for. someday he might look back and think that the kt trainees meant well, but for now all he can think is that he’s the pitiful afterthought to taemin’s celebration.

he’s not surprised to see hyunjoon come over; the kid seems to be at the apartment more than the actual occupants are these days. but he is surprised by the bashfulness, the unexpected display of affection. it makes sungho freeze. he doesn’t like being touched, he doesn’t like hugs much, but he forces himself to relax, pats the kid’s back lightly. “thanks,” he murmurs, as if speaking any louder would ruin the tender moment. he can’t help but glance around as if for an escape anyways. “that’s thoughtful of you.”

they hardly exchange more than a breathful of words before hyunjoon is scampering away, leaving his gift behind. sungho can’t help but smile at the contents, namely the paper that sits among more usual birthday gifts. he’ll text the kid later, telling him he’s proud of that improvement. if sungho can only do one good thing with his miserable life, he’s happy that it’s to keep one bitter kid from becoming like him. the world needs a little more kindness than sungho is able to offer; maybe hyunjoon will make up for it instead.

@rkwoohyun:

he catches him on the way out. hesitation covers him transparent, but he manages to greet sungho with a wide grin, letter in hand as he bows to the other. shifting awkwardly, he clears his throat– and extends the letter towards the other. 

“hi, sungho-ssi.” his eyes crinkle at the corners with his grin. “i–i wanted to give you this. you don’t have to keep it if you don’t want it; you can toss it, if you really feel the need to. but if you do open it, wait until i’m not around, yeah? i promise there’s nothing detrimental to your health or a prank in there.” he rubs the back of his neck sheepishly, chuckling. shifting in place, he reaches out– pauses, gauging the other’s reaction before gently placing a hand on his shoulder and squeezing.

“you’re gonna do great here.” he states, honest. “don’t give up, okay? and don’t give too much of the kids a hassle. do well, work hard. i believe in you!” woohyun swallows, tugging his hand away and stepping back, lifting a hand in a wave. “i’ll catch you later, sungho-ssi!”

to sungho.

this is awkward. is it awkward for you? it’s definitely awkward for me, aah. well, i guess i should get right to things, get right to the point.

you know the sphere audition, right? most of the guys were talking about it. i auditioned, and i got in. i’m signing over a contract to sphere, and well. this is kinda like a goodbye? but not really. i don’t think anything is permanent like a goodbye sounds. it’s more of a see you later? because i know i’ll see you on stage as an official kt boy in an official group.

we’ve had a rough patch haven’t we? but i…think we come a long way since then. well, maybe not long, but there was progress wasn’t there? i wish i could have stayed to see it all the way through. i wish i could have waited to debut with you, but i’m old and i need to start thinking for myself.

i want to thank you. you might not believe me, but you mean a lot to me, as a kt boy, and as apart of kt entertainment. i never once held ill will towards you (besides when you were…being a little brat, but i guess i understand your worry; being in a new place is scary, isn’t it?) when we first met, despite you thinking i did. i genuinely care about you well being, and i care about your progress. you work hard, i know you do.

one day, we’ll be on stage together. and we’ll look bad at this horrible first meeting of ours and laugh. i don’t know if you have forgiven me for all the…tension i gave you; i forgive you though.

        i believe in you, even if you feel like no one else at kt does. do kt proud, and don’t be mean to the new kids, okay? haha;;  best of luck to you!!! let’s meet in the future, okay?

sincerely, nam woohyun – former (&forever) kt prince! ^^ 

the letter sits unopened at the bottom of the bag he lugs back and forth to practice for hours. then days pass by. a week. sungho doesn’t want to read it; he doesn’t want to see some sappy good bye from someone he barely tolerated while they were here together. he does not miss woohyun. he doesn’t miss his eerily cheerful demeanor, his suspiciously friendly greetings. sungho will admit to missing jihoon, someone who could have been a friend of his if he stayed; he will not admit to missing woohyun, not after all the open animosity toward him. he should be happy that there’s two less trainees to compete with; his chances at debut look better and better with each dropped boy.

eventually, he gives in. the crumpled paper stares at him ominously when he’s tugging sweaty clothes out of the bag to put into the wash. as if the envelope has eyes, as if they were burning into the back of sungho’s skull whenever he tried to turn his back on it and ignore it.

he relents, ripping open the seal and unfolding the contents.

“of course i know, you’re sitting with the god damn sphere boys in seocho all the time now,” he mumbles at the paper, a frown already on his lips. it was pomp, it was showy. sungho didn’t care for ceremony, for long emotional notes that do nothing to change a situation and only make the writer feel better about whatever the fuck he did wrong. he glares at the words as if he can make them un-write themselves.

sungho doesn’t want woohyun’s forgiveness for how brisk and prickly he had been to him, he doesn’t want to hear how he doesn’t hate him even though he had been nothing but mean. he doesn’t want to read about the could have beens and the maybe somedays, about false promises and predictions that woohyun couldn’t possibly know would come true or not. it’s a lot of bullshit, right down to the lines that read that sungho meant anything to woohyun.

at least, that’s what he tells himself to squash down that irrational sadness at the core of his stomach.

“they’re all fucking saps,” sungho grumbles to himself, crumpling the paper in his hands like a piece of trash. it goes back into his practice bag instead of the garbage can. he doesn’t think about why he did that. “whatever. kt prince.” not anymore.
