"what places do you like to eat at?" seeing as they had to go out to eat as the list dictated. jiyoo had been enjoying herself so far. and the fact that they had to eat so much, that was a big plus for her. a huge plus really. if there was one thing she really, really loved to do. it as eating and she refused too not be proud of it. "i'm not a picky person, i can something to i like to eat anywhere." and maybe she shouldn't have sounded so proud about it, but she was.
and she was almost prepared to go, shoes on and doing one last check of her bag to make sure she had everything. "and it's on me!" she couldn't make her younger sibling pay. ( not so soon at least and the thought had her giggling again. ) "we should take the camera too, we can capture the memories while were taking the trip." she would get that list done, if it was the last thing she did. the jiyoo had to bring herself back down. "sorry! is that all alright with you or should go a different route?"

though suji was never super interested in fitness, it’s become a habit to do some kind of physical activity. a perk that sort of came with the job, and so even while she had set her mind on simply taking her off time to do more songwriting, she decided that a few of the fitness classes wouldn’t be much harm. she regularly did pilates anyway and so being suji, she took the familiar path rather than going out and doing something more adventurous.
there were a few familiar faces and some staff members she couldn’t recognize—someone from another company she assumed—resulting in her simply sitting anywhere. she cleared her throat before offering a smile towards the female besides her. now that’s a face she definitely knew though she’s never spoken to sophie before. never had the opportunity and truthfully, it didn’t really cross her mind to do so before. but might as well take a chance now, right?

👀 how do you feel about religion?
“i don’t believe there’s a god. so…yeah, no religion for me i suppose.” her eyes dodge, and her fingers twine into each other as she mildly replies, delicately unfazed.
👀 talk about your group members and your favorite things about each of them
“i love @fmdjiah . she has always been my rock whenever i needed help–i mean we shared bedrooms the most throughout our dorm life, so naturally we are close, but i honestly love jiah for her listening ear. as for @fmdbom and @jaekyungfmd….honestly i just love them for taking care of me when they didn’t need to.” she mumbled quietly. “you know, bee has become something akin to like my second family. no, actually–i think of it more as family than anything else. the best times are always when we’re together and the worst of them, always when we’re apart.”

There is a very obvious and clear reason why Sooah is always being invited to people’s places so they can cook for her. She is just a very, very bad cook herself and if given the opportunity, it would be wise to keep her as far from the kitchen as possible. It’s not as if she’ll end up burning the place down because she forgot the dishcloth near the stove (though it did happen once, nothing bad happened), her food just doesn’t taste good. But now that she was being given the opportunity to discover new things and make herself better, why not embrace the idea that she could prepare a meal without making it look disgusting.
The fact that Sophie was also doing that class helped. Since ‘Oh! My Mistake’ they’ve become quite comfortable with each other and Sooah felt actually grateful for having someone she’s more familiar with there, “do you think, just hypothetically, that it is possible to mess up fried rice?” she asks giving a little shrug as if she’s just asking out of curiosity, “and is there an equivalent of brown thumb when it comes to cooking?”
there’s a hit or miss when it comes to fuse songs for minjung. she doesn’t particularly enjoy the bright bubbly concepts (except for a few) but she really loves the darker more mature concepts. she’s always been exceptionally opinionated and can only allow her feelings for a song to dictate how she takes initiative on things. for things she feels passionate about, she gives it her all when it comes to dancing and singing, which would give her more positive comments about her stage presence. however, for the ones she doesn’t care about she just half-asses it and sings the words like how she does, which causes her to be considered ‘lazy’ or ‘untalented’.
it also doesn’t help that she’s one of the weaker dancers in the group which means she takes longer to get the choreography. sometimes, she’ll even get caught forgetting the choreography, and gets captured and posted on youtube. she stands there wide eyed and smiles, laughing to show she doesn’t take much to heart.
however, she still tries her best despite not feeling the best or not feeling the song. this is mainly because she knows how to put on a show of what people expect of her. rarely, will fans find her frowning because the smile’s glued to her face. she likes being predictable on stage because it lessens the burden of revealing her true personality.
Send ✈ for an airport fashion headcanon. (wc: 305)
if she had it her way, she’d be dressed in street wear and baggy clothes. the type of style that requires really loose pants, and a large hoodie - the stereotypical hongdae warrior fashion. however, gold star knows this and they’ve told her to play the role of a girl group and thus they’ve glued a stylist to pick her clothes for her everytime she goes to the airport.
sometimes, the stylists are kind and dress her in baggy jeans and a t-shirt, which is probably the closest thing to her own fashion. however, other times they ask her to wear clothes given to them by various companies or dress her as a girly girl, as her image suits that ‘best’.
she has no say, really in what she wears or she just learns to adapt to what they expect of her. most of the time it consists of frills, skirts or just casual wear that can range from skirts to jeans with blouses.
shoes most of the time are just tennis shoes because she has no intentions to wear heels or strut the airport like it’s a runway. and if she’s really lazy she’ll top it off with a bucket hat to hide her face away from the cameras waiting to catch an idol on a bad day.
as for bags, she carries around smaller designer handbacks. although her favorite bag consists of her worn down backpack that’s survived the years, gold star tells her no and that she should carry something more acceptable - that causes her to bring out designer bags that essentially carry nothing but her phone in them. she’ll never find the joy of carrying around a small handbag, but she knows it’s just free press for the fashion brands which in turn means more money drawn to their group.

Send ☎ for a bad fan experience headcanon. (wc: 252)
she hasn’t had any real bad fan experiences mainly because she lays low. the only sasaeng interruptions she experiences is when they get wave of her number and call her incessantly. it’s happened six times where she’s sitting alone in her apartment, painting and all of a sudden the phone calls. instead of answering or calling the police, she turns her phone off and continues on.
another bad experience was the sasaengs that followed them to the dorms when she was still living with fuse. in that case, the sasaengs used to hide in the bushes, and step out ringing their bell. it was terrifying and the first time she was too scared to leave the dorms alone. luckily, the manager was present and called gold star to get it all situated. still to this day, she doesn’t understand why people become as crazy as they do.
another bad experience was actually at night when she was wandering around with a friend. she didn’t have a mask on or a hat, but it was dark enough that nobody should’ve recognized her. during the night, a drunken man recognized her and immediately lodged themselves at her, and she felt like she was going to die in that moment - except, she was with a few friends at that point, where the friends had to pry her away from the man and call the police. it ended with a punishment of where she couldn’t leave the dorm without the manager for a few months.
Send ❂ for a voice-related (singing or rapping) headcanon. (wc: 310)
her voice is strikingly unique and can be picked apart from any fuse track. it pierces and echoes through the song, and people know the stark sound. however, that’s the voice that fuse has taught her to sing in, and it has dulled away the original cracks and breaks of her voice. it is polished to be an ‘idol’ voice, so it’s crisp and clear and fits right into fuse’s track like a puzzle piece.
however, there’s another voice she uses for her soundcloud. close friends and fans that know of her soundcloud know this is her actual voice that sounds less strained and more real. it consists of more ‘whiny’ sounding voices that linger the ends of the lyrics on. there’s nothing cute and crisp, but it is grittier and rough despite its high tone. some fans enjoy this voice more and ask her to sing like this for fuse, but other fans call it annoying and tell her she is untalented/too much autotune used in fuse’s voice.
singing has become her escape since she was a little girl, finding music the only stabilizing thing in her life. she started singing a lot of S.E.S and super junior, but then she branched off to pop-punk and ballads. she’s always experimenting with new songs, and for her first solo she will be strictly singing experimental songs because the album is her baby.
although she is a rapper role, she rarely raps in fuse’s songs although she loves rapping in general. she loves travis scott and asap, finding trap the best form of hip hop. although she’s not at the level of her favorites, she tries to follow along although she loses the beat a few times. someday, she’ll get a rapping teacher and learn to polish her skills so she can make her big billboard chart debut as lil jane.

Send ♡ for a social media headcanon. (wc: 274)
taejin is a self-proclaimed narcissist and that’s what anyone would expect him to post about on his social media handles.
his instagram handle is ktj__02. why the two is there, is mainly just because two is his favorite number. instagram is meant for him to share pictures of his dog, his selfies or just pictures that his manager has taken for him. on days where he feels his outfit is on point, or he groomed himself nicely, he’ll take a hundred selfies before stepping away and picking one. think of it as his regina george moment. if he’s feeling like a d-bag, he’ll even take a selfie at the gym and post his body progress for those fans who want to leave comments. as for comments and likes, he doesn’t care about that as much as he cares about the overall aesthetic of his instagram. he cares about that a lot.
he has a weibo, but he still doesn’t know how to navigate that platform too. blame it on his age, or blame it on his elementary level chinese, he just knows it works like twitter and can occasionally use naver dictionary to translate his captions into something that makes sense. shockingly, he has a lot of chinese fans because of the successes he’s found in his dramas.
twitter is another thing he doesn’t know how to use, thus he doesn’t have an account. instead, any updates related to him are strictly fan accounts or decipher’s main twitter account to post updates. however, if you ask him to throw a tweet in, he’ll just update with a selfie because that is who he is.
Send ♞ for a non-performance talent headcanon. (wc: 270)
by performance does it mean something that’s away from the spotlight or just singing? if it is apart from singing, taejin is an extremely talented actor that can channel a lot of various roles, as shown by his resume. most of the time, directors like to cast him as the main male lead in love as he plays the boyfriend/lovelorn role very well. acting is a skill that’s grown naturally to him, and he’s found a love for the hobby as well.
another peculiar talent is his active nature. he’s talented in lifting weights and exercising (as d-bag as that sounds). from boxing to jiu jitsu, he’s able to channel his energy into something productive which has transformed his scrawny body into something more built on muscle mass. he’s currently a blue belt in jiujitsu and found it found to entertaining to find a new way to work out.
he also can play the classical piano very well. his mother was persistent that he take lessons as a child to at least learn how to handle the notes. this in turn caused thirteen years of private piano lessons, which now translates over to muscle memory. if he stands by the piano, he can play clair de lune by heart. (this might be related to performance though).
interior decor. that’s a special talent. blame it on his pretty boy ways or having a constant need to have a spic and span room, but he really enjoys decorating the room with minimalistic touches. many of his close friends have asked him to design their homes and he does so with tasteful touches.
Send ☎ for a bad fan experience headcanon. (wc: 313)
being in the industry for over a decade with fans that are die-hard and passionate to the bone only warrants good fan experiences as well as bad ones. he would say that the sasaeng fans, and each experience with them would be considered a bad one.
there was one sasaeng in china, in which the fan would figure out their exact schedules and ride on the same plane. this was okay until the fan would be a few seats away snapping pictures and even following him to the hotel. turns out, the fan was staying at the same hotel, and this in turn caused a weird turn of events where they would try to come in and unlock the door during the early hours of the night. that night, taejin slept with the manager in the same room.
another sasaeng was in korea where they figured out taejin’s address and phone number for the first apartment he lived in. despite the heavily gated security, they jumped the fence and camped out in front fo the entrance until he walked in. they stalked him to his exact apartment where he had to defend himself all while simultaneously calling the police. this turn caused bc to take action, and also scarred taejin from living in that apartment. he moved to a new place (with the help of his parents), to an extremely private villa in seoul forest. lately, he hasn’t had any problem but he feels very skeptical that someone is watching.
the last one was at a fan signing where a fan deliberately told him off. they were angry that taejin seemed to be prioritizing his acting than decipher, and they made it known as he was signing the cd that he should do more as a leader. they called him selfish and arrogant, which lead to the female being escorted out by security.
Send ✈ for an airport fashion headcanon. (wc: 256)
fashion is extremely important to taejin, no matter where he goes. fashion becomes the sole reason he gets up and feels excitement when heading towards the airport.
he maximizes the ‘boyfriend’ look, by wearing a lot of casual suits that are catered towards the seasons. mainly, his goal is to look put together and classy. the suits are usually pieces from tom ford, made of linens to emphasize the casual nature of them. he pairs the suit with a pair of loafers (if he’s feeling fancy) or common project sneakers to dress it down.
other times, he’ll put on a pair of slacks, with a pair of sunglasses and a simple white t-shirt. the slacks are usually from bottega venetta or celine, and the sunglasses can range from being gentle monster, celine or even ray-ban. the t-shirt is from the row or acne studios, as he believes the most essential part of a wardrobe is holding sturdy well-made staples.
some other options include just simple button up shirts, which are usually made of silk. there are a lot of places where he buys, but he does enjoy a good button up from bottega (it’s his current favorite brand).
lastly, he finishes his outfit with a bag or a clutch. a leather holder for his notebook and his phone, he carries it to store the ipad he uses to watch movies or go over his scripts on the plane. in his mind, the bag is the finishing touch to his outfits.
