darkness is the deepest before the dawn

@lgcxmax

hyuntae knew that max had way more experience in this type of thing then he did. he had even been able to participate in future dreams. he deserved the spot in type zero. but was this because his self-esteem was plummeting because of something personal happening the previous night. he couldn't get the words out of his head. 'no-one important'. if he wasn't important to even his 'best friend' then how would he be important to millions of already solid type zero fans. hyuntae took a deep breath sliding down the wall of the practice room.

thankfully no-one was there yet and he had the room to himself. since his dorm was empty there wasn't really any reason for him to be there. so why not continue practicing until he got the dance at least perfect. thats when he saw someone walk into the studio. he quickly straightened himself up and waited for the other trainee to fully come in. "hey max! come to practice more too?" he knew that max's excuse wasn't the same as tae's but why not have more practice in during such a nervewracking time?

starter for @lgcbaekhyun

even if he didn’t have a busy schedule like parker and daeho, eunho had never felt so in over his head as these past weeks. where he’s had to guide and help trainee’s, as if he was some big senior artist. he had only been an idol for 2 years, but after being with them for a few weeks now, eunho could see what the coahes meant when they said they weren’t ready to debut.

but what was he supposed to do?

prepare them?

he wasn’t li shang from mulan, even if he related to the character right about now - because some of these boys were despreate for debut, and some didn’t take it seriously.

eunho shakes his head, snapping himself back into the zone, eunho had just come from a testing of clothes that he would wear later and he hadn’t taken of the bright orange burberry hoodie he had been given to wear just yet, he had rushed over - “ sorry, i am a little late. ”

@lgctee

he can’t believe it. his eyes rake across the boys with him in the room and max immediately wonders what he’s supposed to be doing here when there is so many talented guys who have so much more experience and pure skill under their belt. 

he won’t pass it up though. it’s a chance. a chance he’d be a fool not to grasp for. fully prepared to give his 110% as he always did, max inhales a steadying breath, least he ends up hyperventilating accidently solely from being overwhelmed by such an unexpected opportunity. his eyes meet parker’s, the spark, the anticipation, the joy of a shot at making debut together right there and max can’t help but grin in excitement.

then his gaze drifts further and lands on tee, is reminded of their talk at the songwriting camp workshops. how all tee wanted was to dance and he ponders. how long had he been in this group? how long was he going to stay there? how was this whole experience for him? it has his feet moving as soon as they are dismissed to start working on their respective task and max can’t help but offer the other a grin. “yo! who would have thought this is how we met again?”

⎯ struggles be gone

with @lgctee​

“like this? wait that’s not right..” ughhh

okay the trainee evals were a little bit more difficult than keeho had imagined. it was not a simple test that just said yes you were going to debut this year. no that was way to easy. instead keeho was here with his fellow trainee working on improving certain skill sets. did keeho think he need improvement? no but he would do what the company ask just so he can have a taste of his dreams. 

“hyung, I have no swag in my movement..” he finally admitted defeat. “I look like a lump of potato trying to be cool.” maybe this song choice was just not for him but his type zero’s make a wish, was one a dance that he really wanted to look do looking  ‘cool’ “like how does the sunbae even move like that...” he frown. keeho knew the moves but executing it was a lot more difficult. covering his face, he let out a laugh of frustration - which was all he needed to feel 10 times better.

“okay, im done complaining.”

move along - evaluations | @lgcxmax

“i wish they had been a bit more specific with the instructions,” cam wasn’t exactly complaining, he definitely was grateful to even have direction on what to work on, he just wasn’t quite sure what side of performance he needed to work on. was it a general thing? was it his facial expressions? was it his movement? he’d worked quite a bit on expressions for the drama, despite only featuring for a small part of it. It had been good experience to learn how filming worked and to get his name out there— plus, he loved dramas.

max was the other trainee in the group asked to work on his performance for the evaluation. that was why he found himself with the other guy in a practise room. it seemed like cam was spending every waking moment surrounded by the company’s mirrors. he wasn’t sick of them yet, not like he’d been at the other company, but it still felt like he never actually left the rooms.

“i’m gonna go with dance, just because i think it’ll be easier to showcase ‘performance’ and also i think i could use the practise.” he sighed out and took a few big sips from his almost empty water bottle. “did you decide on what you’re doing yet?”

☀ ︴man down

it's a weird day where indy is actually up early. this time, his body woke him up and he couldn't fall asleep easily enough for his liking, so he decided to just get up. he had a lot to practice anyway if he wanted to be taken seriously in this trainee evaluation group, and he does. now that jiahn is here with him, there's the possibility of them debuting together, and indy doesn't want to get left behind.

he's received a lot of opportunities lately, but indy knows he's still lacking, so he'll practice as much as he can.

he should practice his singing since that's what legacy instructed him to do, but he's still a little sleepy and figures some dancing to wake up and start the day won't hurt. it brings him to one of the dance practice rooms.

when he swings open the door, however, he finds that it's already occupied by...someone laying on the floor. indy tilts his head to get a better look at his face to try to determine if he knows him or not, then realizes that doesn't matter. there's some guy laying on the floor? did he pass out? maybe he's just tired, but it also could be something terrible.

so indy takes one of his extra water bottles out of his training bag. "hi, are you okay?" he asks, voice probably not loud enough. when the guy doesn't respond, he clears his throat, and tries again: "hello? are you okay?" he doesn't really know how to go about this.

waiting.

TRAINEE EVALUATION : ft. @lgctee​

woobin is every emotion rolled into one—besides happy. he’s frustrated, angry, disappointed...all directed at himself. woobin was generally hard on himself, but hearing it spout back at him by coaches he admired and desperately sought the approval of was...simply spirit breaking. the night after the meeting he’d curled up into a ball in his bed and cried. he was picturing himself close to debut...and now it felt like all that was gone.

his usual energetic and bright attitude in the practice room had evaporated with his spirit, even with tee. “ugh!” he groaned, lyrics in his lap and phone in the other, though they were both set aside. if he had to hear that song—the song that was his signal he failed and had to go again—he would scream or cry or both. he plucked his airpods from his ears and laid his head on tee’s leg, since it was softer than the ground. though, he thought he deserved the ground with how he was performing. what even was he doing here? if he couldn’t handle one concert, maybe it was time to rethink paths. “you think i should just become a streamer instead? they make good money right.” he asked, looking up at tee. his eyes were tired, woobin was tired. he needed a friend right now—at least tee was in the same boat.

what is happening?

@lgcbaekhyun

hyuntae was at a loss for words after their meeting. he was one of the chosen trainees that might get to debut? and in type zero? he wasn't sure if that was something he wanted. but he was happy with the opportunity none the less. now he got to show his potential. he was going to prove he was up to the challenge to grow his skills in the areas that they had asked of him.

but what was this feeling that he suddenly had? for some reason he was anxious. nervous even. would he be good enough to debut? but was he even ready to do that? so many questions went through his mind. but he had to try. one person he knew would also be having a hard time. his brother. he as even anxious over spring boys, he would sure as hell be nervous about this. so after the meeting he stayed back by the door and waited for baekhyun to come out.

"no time like the present to start. wanna go with me to practice? i could use your help with singing" it was the one skill he had that he had no confidence in. first the musical made him feel unprepared with singing and now this evaluation. he hated the idea of getting a bad report on anything. maybe this was going to be the first.
