It all comes back to that faithful day, a couple of months before, when Yuanjun suggested she stopped by his place, so they could show off his cute pets to the public, and Sooah, who still didn’t have Maple at the time, so eagerly agreed to it. She doesn’t regret spending time with the lovely animals, not even in the slightest. Sooah does regret though, thinking that she owned Yuanjun something for letting her do that. Worse yet, that she volunteered to pay for his meals as they went out to the food truck festival.
“Remind me again, how can you possibly fit this much food on you when you already walked past at least half of the trucks in this place?” Sooah asks Yuanjun incredulously. She guesses part of this is her fault as well. It’s not as if she was unaware of her friend’s appetite, but this situation bordered the ridiculous. “Don’t tell me you skipped lunch just because I offered to pay for your food? You’re not that wicked, are you, Jun?” Sooah asks seriously, but there’s a glint in her eyes and a certain playfulness in the way she lifts one of her brows.
duri didn’t think he really had that many life experiences. sure, he was thirty years of age now, but he didn’t really experience all that much throughout his life, with most of his experience really just being in music and being an idol. but, he also still seemed to be good at giving advice, if he was someone that would really just think about the topic before formulating the advice to give to someone. so, when he was asked to do the advice live by the staff, he wasn’t all that worried about it. though, he still hoped that he would give good advice to questions that may be asked in the live - it was like a mental fingers crossed.
duri was just glad that he wasn’t going to be doing the advice live alone and was excited to hear that yuanjun would be joining him for the live session. it really was a nice balance of someone that’s older and someone that’s younger, it was like different perspectives. plus, it wouldn’t be awkward in any way either, considering yuanjun was one of his younger friends. so, duri was sure to purchase the two food to eat while giving advice, making it mukbang style. “hello everyone!” he said, waving at the camera. “please be sure to start sending in things that you need advice on, so that yuanjun and i will be able to hopefully give you advice!”
Send ☎ for a bad fan experience headcanon. ( 235 words )
thankfully, she hasn’t had too many terrible fan experiences so far. being part of a girl group means that they have less sasaeng fans and lucid’s fanbase at the moment is not the biggest. a big part of their listeners is the general public as proven through their high digital charting. there’s still a while before jaein thinks she can confidently say that lucid has a strong fandom.
however, that doesn’t change the fact that even with a small fandom there exist a few rotten apples. after the concept change, there was an increase of older male fans. jaein does not dislike every older male fan. most of them aren’t even that creepy. they genuinely do support the group and simply use lucid’s music to get through their stressful everyday lives.
there was one time at a fansign though where a male fan came up to her and handed her a pacifier, asking her to wear it. you could say she was definitely shocked and absolutely disgusted that anybody thought that was a present. though she couldn’t be visibly furious at the male, she did her best to avoid having to wear it, and one of the fan managers thankfully caught on quickly and took it away, rushing the man to the next member quickly. she absolutely hates being infantilized, and that’s one memory that she tries her best to burn out of her mind.

jaein’s really good at memorizing directions and streets. she can memorize the way to a certain location after the first time, and she doesn’t even know why. perhaps it’s just one of those things that she was born with. this may not be a talent to some, and jaein doesn’t even have her license yet so it’s definitely not useful in anyway, but this can be utilized in other ways and doesn’t only apply to physical roads and driven directions though that’s mostly where it comes from.
this comes in handy when she’s playing games that require memorization of directions or orders though it is a little rusty when it comes to remembering words. it mostly has to do with paths. for example, if she’s playing a game where she has to remember the correct order of steps taken on like a chessboard, she can ace it on one try. it might be more proper to say that she has a good sense of direction?
anyway, this isn’t a talent that’s totally useful at the moment, but it does come in handy at times when she’s on variety shows, and they ask her if she has any hidden talents. it usually does a good job of making people surprised enough that she isn’t cut out of the broadcast.
Send ❂ for a voice-related (singing or rapping) headcanon. ( 257 words )
when jaein first entered dimensions as a trainee, she wasn’t a vocal-focused trainee. she was never really confident in her voice, and she never thought that she’d ever debut with the position of ‘lead vocal’ locked under her belt. the female was given more attention on improving her dancing because they saw more potential in that. she only started being shifted towards a vocalist after two years or so when one of the vocal trainers at dimensions thought that she could really improve if given the right amount of attention and training. since then, they decided to push her into both directions and apparently she did well enough to be labeled a lead vocalist. however, even to this day, she feels more comfortable being grouped in with the dance-line than the vocal line because lucid’s other two vocalists (the main vocal and the lead vocal) are much better than she is.
if someone were to ask her what she likes about her voice, she would say that she enjoys her timbre. it’s not exactly her vocal color but rather the deeper and richer tone it gives off when she sings. she can’t belt out high notes and is rather given more mid to low-tone lines in lucid’s songs. that’s worked so far with lucid’s concepts and songs, but she wonders if their songs will become brighter thus making it more difficult for her timbre to match the mood. this also means that she finds that her voice fits better with their darker concept than the lighter one.
Daisuke wouldn’t and couldn’t say that he hated the songs that CHARM released. He had helped write a good portion of them, and he thought that the rest of the group and the writers they worked with did an excellent job at creating music that would collectively be good for the group as a whole. That being said, a lot of their more recent title tracks weren’t particularly his cup of tea. He didn’t hate them exactly, he just hadn’t really enjoyed a title track since they had released ‘Oh My!’, which had been over a year ago. Home, Hit and Fear were alright songs, he didn’t hate them, but.. He did find himself zoning out when they had to perform those songs. He would start the song and then before he knew it, the song was over. Which probably wasn’t a horrible thing, all things considered. He hoped that the performances that day went by as quickly as they usually did for him. “Hey,” he called out to Yuanjun, who was rushing past him, doing wherever it was that he did while they were backstage waiting to perform. “Fix your collar, it’s all flipped up in the back.” His large hands came up and started adjusting the younger male’s shirt.
“You know,” she began, jabbing her finger against Yuanjun’s chest. “Just because I’m one of the very few people who’s shorter than you, doesn’t mean you can act all cute. You’re not that much taller than me, and I can still pick you up and throw you across the room, shorty.” Although most of their conversations ended up like this - with Hyeri threatening to physically harm the younger idol, it was all in good jest. She would never truly hurt him. She had, reluctantly, grown to see him as something sort of a younger brother figure in her eyes. He was annoying just like one, even more so in a sense, but she would defend him with her life. Unless she was the one attacking him, of course. “Don’t you have twelve other people you could be annoying at the moment?”

“yuanjun-- can you not,” joohyung stuttered, scandalized, moving over to where yuanjun was standing by one of the mirrors. he reached around the shorter boy to tug at the collar of his suit jacket, trying to close it further so it wouldn’t expose as much skin. even though yuanjun was an adult now, his birthday fast approaching, joohyung still thought of yuanjun as the young boy he’d first met in the bc dance studio, hardly old enough to be considered a teenager and fumbling over his korean. “i can’t believe they let a kid like you wear something like this,” he added, trying to sound scolding, but the playful smile on his face gave his intentions away. he was just teasing yuanjun, as usual.
He might not have been one hundred percent confident in his own singing capabilities as of late, but he was a singer at the end of the day. And if one of his hoobaenims needed his help, he would be there for them. Yuanjun was talented, he wouldn’t have gotten into BC if he wasn’t, but there was always room for improvement. Even if he would never be able to sing like the vocal line of his group, he could always work on his singing until it was the best it could possibly be for himself. His fingers ran across the piano keys slowly, before he sighed. “Let’s do it again, Jun. From the top. And try not to force yourself to do it, just relax. Do you want to start with the scale?”
That? That’s a fire. That is not what Yi intended to make, no not at all.
Yi finds Charm cool, he enjoys their music and in a way he does look up to Yuanjun, even if the other is way younger than him, he just finds him so cool, Charm always has such cool music, such cool dances, and while Origin are quite popular themselves, in his eyes Charm are way bigger. Thus he had decided it. He wanted to impress the other, and he had noticed Yuanjun seemed quite fond of free food, so what better way was there to impress the younger than giving him homemade free food?
Yi considers himself a good cook, at least what he makes isn’t directly poison. And he was prepared for this, cooking Chinese for his Chinese friend who seemed to love food? Now if you tell me that isn’t the perfect way to impress and make someone compliment you. And Yi really found it to be a great idea, because he both got to see someone he looked up to, and he got to practice his cooking skills.
However right now he realized he maybe, maybe just needed a bit more practice at cooking, or that maybe he should stop cooking the same dishes over and over, because now that he tried cooking something for the first time ever, it didn’t work out that well. Yi’s eyes were widened, watching what was going on with fear, the fire wasn’t that big, honestly maybe it was a baby fire and if Yi took off his shirt and threw it over the fire it would just stop, but? Nuh-uh. Yi is a smart guy, he knows that fire can kill and thus, he was smart enough to know;
They were going to die.
He turned around in a second, staring the younger directly in the eyes “Yuanjun. I’m sorry. It was quite nice knowing you”
