nothing easy in the world - ft. @fmdseola​

although he had had his amount of singing lessons throughout the years, siwoo had never tried teaching a class for himself, and the thought of having to do so was rather nerve-racking. sure he considered himself a good vocalist -- he would not have a position as main vocal if not -- but surely there were other more talented people out there who could do a better job. alas, his random choosing had brought this upon him so he believed fate must have willed it like this. still, he wasn’t shy to sneak into a different class earlier than his to pick up some good tips and tricks. beside, he always felt as though his dancing wasn’t up to par for the advanced choreographies vive was doing, so it definitely wouldn’t hurt to get a bit of advice on that. of course he had forgotten the fact that all students had to be under eighteen.

siwoo stepped into the room in his fool proof disguise of a cap and a mask covering his face a few minutes late with starbucks in his hands. “sorry i’m late, teach!” he apologised quickly and put down his cup. “did i miss anything important?”

      one event that duri did manage to pick himself and bc entertainment agreed on was letting him teach at the performing arts center. of course, duri had decided that he would be one of the people teaching vocals, considering the fact that he holds a lot of knowledge in the craft and instrument of vocals. sure, he could have probably done a songwriting or composing class, but if he was honest - he wasn’t really sure how to actually teach that or even begin to really explain it. not to mention, he really believed everyone’s process of songwriting and composing was different - so, what he could possibly teach in those two crafts may not actually work for all the kids that would be attending the classes. so, thus, he decided that he would instead, teach one of the hour long vocal classes. he was much more confident in that, so to speak. 

he was trying to really decide how exactly to prepare for the class before the kids would arrive. maybe he probably should have prepared a bit more before he got to the performing arts center himself, but he really didn’t actually get a lot of time to actually do that. his eyes looked around, seeing another familiar idol, he decided to approach. “hi seola!” he greeted, his usual warm smile growing bigger. “how are you preparing? i’m not sure what to do... i’m thinking about just winging it and exploring the performing arts center instead,” he said, giggling a bit.

the idea of a company shoot is absolutely ridiculous, and she thinks their creative director is trying a little too hard to push some tight-knit family image when it doesn’t exist in dimensions. the fact that she’s stuck at a shoot like this as soon as her own promotions are over has her fired up, and she doesn’t think she can even hide the annoyance on her face. thankfully for her, it didn’t seem like she was alone in the mindset. 

looking around the set, while there were a few company mates who looked like they didn’t mind the shoot, there were a couple who’s facial expressions mimicked her own. walking up to seola and taking a seat in the empty chair besides her, jaein let out a heavy sigh as she rolled her eyes as far back as she could. “this is annoying,” she laid out before blowing a piece of hair out of her face. her stylist won’t love her for that move, but she’ll need to get everything retouched anyway before the next shooting session. “were we always advertised as a family or is this some new thing they’re trying out?”

Photoshoots are always a point of conflict for Sunghee. By now, they’ve mostly managed to learn what people expect from them. It’s easier when the photographer is very opinionated and doesn’t hesitate to direct them to the best of their ability — which most of them don’t, especially after a couple of words from Sunghee’s manager — but they more or less manage to navigate the ones that don’t say much and just expect Sunghee to use everything they had learned during their training. It was hard when they had to do a photoshoot by themself. Both for their solo album and then the magazine cover, Sunghee had honestly felt a bit out of place and anxious. But with other people around them, it’s not so bad, even if most of them are not from their group. 

Sunghee doesn’t know what Dimensions expects to do with this photoshoot. Show an united front? It’s a bit ridiculous considering Dimensions idols don’t even interact all that much. Not officially, at least. Not to mention the never ending competition between Alien and Mars. A desperate attempt at getting some public favor? Maybe? Sunghee truly just wants to finish the day and go back home. They don’t expect to get paired with anyone outside of Unity, so Sunghee is surprised when they are told they are taking pictures with a couple 7rophy members. They approach Seola with a bow of their head. “Uh, sunbaenim,” Sunghee greets her. “I think we’re shooting together.”

Cafe ➙ Early July 2021 ➙ @fmdseola​

It seemed as though BC Entertainment had decided to up CHARM’s activity and schedules for the time being, because Daisuke had been running back and forth between CHARM activities, practices and his own personal schedules like a mad man for the past few weeks. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn’t a great thing either. It was more so a conflicting emotion for Daisuke. He enjoyed working, he truly did, but on the other hand, his social meter was naturally already at a low intake setting, and having to participate in multiple schedules a day was more draining than anything. There was always a feeling of satisfaction at the end of a long work day, but the feeling of exhaustion sometimes outweighed that. 

He was glad that that particular day was only filled with dance practices for their upcoming Japanese tour, which was a lot less taxing on his mind and body. But he still needed his daily fix of caffeine to keep him from going off the deep end. He kept his mask on as he entered the cafe, hoping to not be recognized while he was there. The last thing he needed was an overwhelming fan encounter. After he paid for his drink, he wandered around the cafe, trying to find a spot to sit, only to find an open table next to an already occupied one. He hesitated for a moment, before approaching. “Excuse me.. Do you mind if I sit here?” He asked, gesturing towards the open seat. “There’s no other available tables.”

@fmdseola:

being a music show mc for the second time, this time on a different show, was starting to come to an end. if duri was completely honest, it was bittersweet in a way. he was mcing with some really good friends once again, which was really nice. however, he did look forward to having less on his plate when it came to no longer mcing. plus, he had a lot that was coming up in general when it came to his own schedules and knight’s schedules, so he was pretty much looking forward to there being a lot less to do. even though he was having a good time mcing with both daisuke and minah. 

duri was doing his usual thing after he had gotten ready to host the show. he was walking around backstage, awaiting for the mcs to be called. he liked doing this before the show, considering the fact that he didn’t get much of a chance to actually interact with others throughout the show. plus, duri was never someone to stay inside of his dressing room - it always felt too small, no matter how big it possibly was. he just liked to be where the people are, much like ariel. 

as he was walking around, he came across a familiar face, waving out to them. “hi seola!” he greeted the other once he approached. his warm smile grew a bit more. “how are promotions for uh oh going? have you been getting rest and eating well?” he asked. “i also wanted to let you know that i’m still keeping your photocard from the album!” he said, be reminded of the conversation they had in california.

Oh dear lord, she should not have fallen asleep a few sets before going on stage. To be fair, the costumes and make up for this live show was fairly simple and comfortable to Maya, that sitting while sitting on the sofa waiting for the rest of the members got done, she got bored with gaming on her phone and inevitably falling asleep. 

... and also ripping the side of her top.  

“Fuck.” hissing under her breath, looking slightly panicked around trying to make sure that none of the managers was near her to hear her cursing or see the predicament she is in. But of course, instantly she could feel someone’s laser eyes on her. Turning towards the sharp gaze directed her way, “...help.” Maya pleadingly whines at Seola, waving her hand as she gestures for leader aid her in her time of need.

When Chunhwa had signed up for the teaching activity, she hadn’t really paid attention to what she was setting herself up to. There wasn’t anything else in the list she was particularly interested in doing besides the fashion show and she still had to choose something else. Knowing Dimensions, they’d expected to do something that could showcase one of her skills, so teaching kids how to sing it was. Chunhwa didn’t mind kids in the first place, and the years she spent helping to teach classes in her grandmother’s studio allowed for her to have some level of experience with it. The problem by far wasn’t the activity in itself, which was truly not something that bothered her, but the fact that she was expected to wake up at ass o’clock in the morning in order to do so. 

The whole point of an event like this was to get some form of a break and yet she had not only been forced to sign up for two activities, she had also performed at the newbies showcase and had the concerts to look forward to. Chunhwa was pissed with having to wake up so early just to work instead of staying in her bed and then going to the pool and lounging the whole day. She went to the location dragging her feet, only to find out she still had thirty minutes to go before she was supposed to start. Chunhwa groaned, standing outside the room and seriously considering ditching the whole thing altogether. “Why the fuck did I sign up for this?”
