🍒   Her cheeks are still visibly reddened, an obvious give-away of her discomfort. After all this time, she really should be fully accustomed to just about anything, even some heavily inappropriate and intrusive questions that would make anyone sweat nervously. Yet, digging into her personal life and making assumptions about it with almost improper suggestions - perhaps that was crossing a line.

❝ I’m okay. ❞ she responds with a small, but sincere smile. Pale fingers neatly tuck a loose strand of her hair back, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly.  ❝ Some of those questions did take me by surprise, though. Don’t you ever wish you could give a very sarcastic reply and not worry about your reputation for once? That would be pretty fun. ❞

It would seem as though idols have to handle with things a lot harder than soloists like him, with their companies burying their noses everywhere in order to keep their images clean and pure; especially for a rookie that had just got started like the other. He showed evident signs of worries as soon as he had seen the interview that was conducted, the press shooting questions after questions at her so insensitively. Of course, if it had been him, he would have refused to answer the question and so he felt the need to offer comfort to the younger idol. 

Lifting up his hand, he wanted to give her a pat on her shoulder but decided against it, using the same hand to rub the back of his neck as he flashed her a friendly smile. They both have met before, to say that they were well acquainted would be a huge stretch. Hyuk would say he’s quite familiar with her work, especially her rising popularity. Clearing his throat, he tilted his head to the side; his expression turned a little warmer. “What you did out there, I think you handled things well, though. It would have rubbed me the wrong way and made my face all sour.” A chuckle. “Mhm, as a soloist who’s not exactly an idol, I could say I have more chance of doing that than you do, right? But you’re a rising idol. Is it hard having to keep an image all the time? Would you like to... grab some drink? You look really unwell. Maybe a cup of hot chocolate?”

↺ chaeion​ reblogged this and earned a starter!

Stepping out of the underground station, Chungha adjusted the earphones within her ears and continued along the sidewalk to her destination. After Produce 101 had ended, the female was fortunate enough to be able to keep in contact with a few of the girls who didn’t make it to the line-up with her. Huihyeon was one of females that the dancer still spoke to and she was happy that the two were as close as they were-- they even had a collaboration a few months back along with Somi and Yoojung.

Heading towards the apartment complex that lay a few blocks up ahead, Chungha glanced around the area. She had only ever been around here a couple of times before but thankfully, she knew her way to the DIA dorm. That’s right-- she was on her way to surprise the leader (and the rest of the girls, of course) and hopefully drag her out considering they too, had a day off. It took her another 5 minutes or so before she was outside the very dorm’s door and ringing the doorbell-- little did she know that the person she was there for wasn’t even at home but knowing Chungha, she would find a solution as always.

❝ Say what—? ❞ He deadpans momentarily, clearly taken aback by her statement before shooting a bemused glance. ❝ Jung Chaeyeon, do I look like someone who is capable of risking his life in such a manner? If anything, I would go out in style. ❞ His tone is light and joking while busying himself once again with adjusting his mask and letting his gaze fall on the racks at the store. He could tell that she was clearly uncomfortable with having to be outside at this time of the night but his cryptic message had done the trick. 

A simple text announcing that he was going to take his bike out near the Han River for a midnight marathon, to be precise and there she was, wearing a worried look on her face that simply made him want to throw his arms around her in a comforting hug. But he refrains, his protective instincts withheld as he quietly dragged her along to the nearest store in pretense of hunger pangs. ❝ Calm down, I just came for a walk and didn’t exactly want any of my members for company. I figured that today was also a day that you could do with some fresh air to clear your mind. Let’s have ramen, talk about your IOI woes as I crib about Mingyu. Fair enough? ❞

🍒   ❝ W-what? ❞ startled and indescribably confused, she stares at the taller male with a look equal to what she’d wear in math class. Firstly, he asked her about the food they had displayed at the current event, and once she agreed on liking strawberries, he gives her this reply - strange. In the past, the two of them used to be close, but lack of free time and the daily struggles of idol rules and dating bans, they kind of went separate ways, deciding it’s for the best. She feels a bulb of unease, her throat knotting into an untangleable mess. They never did fight, so giving him the cold shoulder would be completely unnecessary and not to mention, rude.

❝ I’m sorry, I gotta stay here. ❞ she mumbles mostly to herself, unsteady fingers toying with the array of napkins on the overpolished table’s surface. Nobody would actually notice if they’d slip away, but her embarrassed and undeniably shy side won’t permit her to relax, since she’s still struggling to swallow the lump in her throat. God, this is what cats must feel like when they’re fighting a fur ball. ❝ But uhm, what do you want to talk about? Congratulations on all your recent success, oppa. I’m really proud of you.. and the others. ❞

❝ Uh-- ❞ For a bookworm like himself, Wonwoo sure had an awful way with his words when placed under stress. Her reaction had him kicking himself mentally though his face lets on none of the inner turmoil that had kickstarted within his mind. He wouldn’t lie about the fact that he had been left torn as to avoid her or to say hi, when they ran into each other. Despite being all too aware of the fact that this day would have arrived sooner or later, he had kept postponing the instance that both being idols would mean they would promote on the same shows, at the same time. Maybe it was due to him being unprepared in having to meet her again so suddenly was what made everything harder.

 ❝ Well... ❞ He begins once again, gathering what was left of his courage while fixing his unwavering gaze on her all too familiar features, hands slipping into his pockets to ball them up inside and hiding the one indication of visible tension on his behalf.  ❝ None of your members seem to be around here so you won’t get into trouble, I promise you. ❞ Persistence being his only way to seize his opportunity, something had ignited within Wonwoo’s mind in wanting to ask her all the questions he had managed to formulate over the past few months. Yes, they both got busy was the easiest excuse but was their friendship so easily forgettable?  ❝ Thank you, Chaeyeon-ah. ❞ He mutters in a distracted manner, pausing a moment too long before quipping up as well.  ❝ I’m sorry to hear that IOI has now come to an end. How are you feeling about that? ❞

@chaeion: I appreciate your nice words, but I still stand by my words that you're the prettiest! How have you been, hmm? I've missed you!

⌜ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and mine say you’re the prettiest unni in the world! I missed you too!! I’ve been pretty good, training hard so I can debut rapidly and meet you at music shows. I’m going to miss seeing you everyday unni. ⌟

🍒  Whenever a situation like that would occur, Chaeyeon would find herself sitting there with a jittery knee and a lip-swallowing awkwardness. She’d smile robotically and deliver answers in a clipped voice, trying to ignore the circumstances and remain pragmatic. As a rather new face in the industry, she had no business telling the well-known and adored TV personas how to run their own shows, even if it they, sometimes, put her in a very unpleasant position.

❝ I suppose so.. ❞ she starts carefully, like she’s starring in an undeclared contest of impenetrability.  ❝ Ah, I don’t know, I guess they can’t be blamed. There’s a lot of fresh faces that come and go, no wonder it’s hard to keep up. ❞ she speaks up again, smiling this time.  ❝ It’s normal if they don’t know stuff about me or newer groups, but if they’d be like this with you, sunbaenim, that… would be really weird. Please don’t tell me it’s happened to you recently? ❞

Despite being a positive person, Jinyoung is conscious when it comes to knowing where he stands in the entertainment industry: he’s not as influential despite his jack-of-all-trade title and neither is his group, they’re stable and there are times where their fandom might fluctuate (though their latest comeback seems to beg to differ, and he is infinitely grateful for that), thus Jinyoung often reminds himself to remain humble with the staffs even though unwanted circumstances often occured. Not that it doesn’t bother him, though, when someone blatantly said on-air that they don’t know which group he was from (he knew he scored himself quite the name and popularity thanks to his recent drama, but it hurts to know when people doesn’t know where he’s from). 

So he accidentally spoke about the matter to Chaeyeon, though subtly, his smile weak as he laughed inside his mind at the so-called incident before glancing at Chaeyeon with his smile bigger than before, his brows rose at the question. “Ah... you can said so? I’m just saying about how things are going in general, you know -- if a MC doesn’t do their research and they don’t know much about you, remind yourself not to feel too bad about it because you’re not the one wrong, that’s what i’m trying to say, I guess.”
