unwound.

rkbubble with @rkjisoo !!

he thinks he’s seen her a few times around the royal building, a cool senior he doesn’t really know how to approach. there’s no clear, universal instructions on how to introduce yourself to people who are so far out of your social league that they’re in an entirely new league themselves. ( he fondly remembers the fact that he had even needed to be guided to meet mingyu, the older’s mother introducing them for the mutual benefit of being each others’ first best friends— first ‘everything’s, really, over the years. ) he taps the base of his bubble wand against his palm, convinces himself it’s not that big of deal, especially given that they’re just out in the wild right now. to the world, they’re just two people enjoying the festival. it’s no big deal, right? 

“hi,” his voice is small, timid, at first. “you’re jisoo, right? I’ve seen you... around.” it’s a little ominous, but he’s been given a full rundown since he started at royal to be wary of who within the company are public ( like himself ) and private trainees. he doesn’t want to take any chances. “I’m not very good at introducing myself, but I’m won! I, uh— I’m a dancer.” he hopes that that’s a big enough clue as to who he is, if the girl hasn’t seen him around or watched the mgas. “I was just going to get a drink, can I get you anything? my treat.”

Though summer is near its end, the hot waves in Seoul won’t be clearing away for a few weeks still. In order to make the most out of the season before autumn creeps in, the city hall has prepared a cheerful festival for citizens to enjoy!

The 2018 Bubble Festival will be held on the second weekend of September, starting on Friday and ending on Sunday evening. The festival ground will be open from 10am to 8pm on all three days, and there is no entrance fee. Activities within the perimeter are also free; money to cover costs will only come from the food and drinks sold there, and any profit resulting from the festival will be directed to charitable organizations working around the county.

The main attraction of the festival are the giant soap bubble wands spread across the grounds, blowing soap bubbles over the crowd every few minutes. Anyone can get a small bubble wand of their own to play with, too! Additionally, several activities have been prepared for children (or adults with youthful spirits) to enjoy: obstacle courses, ball pits, face painting, a bouncy castle and, of course, there are also several food carts spread across the festival ground.

Live music performances will happen on a 360° stage at the center of the park during the afternoon on all three days. Invited artists include Chi Chi’s subunit Oh!Chi Chi, BIGSTAR’s Jude, and LUXE. When artists are not performing, a DJ takes over the stage.

This festival will happen on the 7th, 8th and 9th of September, but OOC muns have until midnight EST at the end of Sunday, September 30th to meet the requirements for points.

For +2 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, write a 150+ words solo or a four-post thread of your muse watching LUXE’s live stage performance, to happen on Saturday, September 8th.  

For +2 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, write a 150+ words solo or a four-post thread of your muse enjoying the festival activities, such as jumping into the ball pit or buying a juice pouch from one of the food carts. 

For +2 CHARISMA POINTS, write a four-post thread with a muse you haven’t interacted with yet. You can complete this task up to three times (with three different muses), for a total of +6 CHARISMA POINTS.

Please tag all of your posts as #rkbubble, and have fun!

✨ in time

( an rkbubble starter for @rkdongmin )

after what had seemed like an eternity, the day had finally come for suji to meet with dongmin. the bubble festival had been a nice way to go out and do something fun for a change instead of the typical meals that she was doing with her friends. she had no idea what she would be expecting, but she had read up on it and it sounded fun at least. 

the heat, however, was not so fun. she could most certainly do without it. she had texted dongmin to meet her in front of the ball pit, an easy place to find someone, or so she thought. she checked the time to make sure that she wasn’t the one late, but it seemed that she wasn’t at all. she pulled out her phone to keep herself occupied while she waited for him to arrive.

너는 너 나는 나

rkbubble -- new interaction: @yujinrk

happy days usually pass by quicker than he'd like, and he almost forgets that it was normal for it to happen. he could only heave a sigh when he realized that the festival was soon coming to a close for the day. with donghyuck spending time with their other friends, jaemin opts to make his exit. but not until he remembers that he asked yujin to meet up a few hours ago. not that he was sure she was at the festival at the time, still he sent the message he'd rarely used these days since donghyuck came into the picture.

earlier today, he typed 'it'd be nice if today lasted forever' before hitting send, mindlessly. he wasn't sure if it was something he should have done considering the festivities. today was meant to be enjoyed. but she would understand, she always does. now, he's sitting on a nearby bench by the exit, scrolling through his phone and waiting for her to come. he hadn't talked to yujin in a while, things like this usually don't change how much he cared about her. but now, he's thinking if he should conclude both their days with what has been troubling him.

he goes over his messages, ignoring the ones that his brother has been sending for weeks now, and puts away his phone, getting annoyed by it. jaemin looks up and sees a familiar face approaching, bringing him to his feet, and a smile dancing on his lips as he waved at her, "yah, look at you all grown up!" he teases, holding back a laugh. there was really a sense of comfort with ahn yujin.

— height troubles

@rkchaeyoung

It’d been a while since Seokwoo had had time to spend with Chaeyoung, a strange realisation when they’d used to spend nearly every day together as CEO and assistant. There was the nagging worry that she’d shrunk since the last time they had hung out, a thought that lingered as he peeked over at her and then up at the stage where Luxe was performing. He wondered if he should ask, offer to lift her up if she couldn’t see over the crowd or find a closer spot where less people would be in the way. Had she always been this short? Seokwoo had never noticed that until now, how it must have been difficult for her if she went to concerts like this -- he never had that issue, he was more worried about standing in the way of someone else. His weight shifted as he leaned over.

“Should we get closer?”

He knew it would be a bad idea to mention her height, or, he assumed it was. Something more subtle was a better choice. Already, he was stretching out his arm, reaching around her shoulders to try to urge her in front of him and hoping that this would be a better view for her. There was a gap between the peoples heads that she might have been able to get through. “I... can... lift you up?” Seokwoo offered this more, quietly and carefully. He selected the words one at a time, plucked them in succession and let his gaze flicker down from her expression and up towards the stage. The Luxe girls were preparing to get up on stage, they’d begin any minute and he didn’t want Chaeyoung to miss any second of it. “I have strong arms! I really do! I work out at Sphere. I won’t drop you!” He began to protest the arguments she’d already have against the offer.

{ how can you not? ` }

at the bubble festival, ball pit, w/ @rksakura

 he was twenty-two. legally and matter-of-factly, he was an adult. lee hwitaek had a good job, he paid his bills, he owned a car, he was still in school, but he was still an adult. 

  however, at the sight of the ball pit, all matureness and adulting he may have on his belt didn’t stand a chance. 

    they had time limits for the pit and there was a line. hwitaek was basically buzzing with excitement. he couldn’t remember the last time he had been in a ball pit? probably when he was much younger. probably someone’s birthday party? 

    “come on, come on,” he mumbled under his breath, bouncing a bit on the balls of his feet as he waited for his turn. he glanced back behind him at the girl and smiled, “that’s some... nope, not gonna finish that thought. funnier in my head.”

something similar

@rkdongmin

the event was heard in royal of course. luxe was performing, and as both an avid fan of the girl group, and a friend to the girls in the group, seonho knew they would be performing with other sunbae artist at a bubble festival. 

and so of course seonho found his way there. 

the crowd was big, but not over whelming. or at least, seonho wasn’t paying attention to the people around him as he bounced lightly on his heels. waiting for them to announce the next performance. to see his noonas walk onto stage. the bright shining faces he doesn’t get to see often anymore since their debut. but he’s so proud and happy for them. they deserve this, all of his noonas are so super talented. 

his own bubble wand was being waved carefully in front of him. zoning out a bit as he thought about what song they would perform. if they would do more than one. he figured they would do their title track is nothing else. “ahh... maybe luxe noonas can sign the bubbles when i get back to the company..”

This was fantastic. Not only was he going to get to see Dawon perform live again, but he was also going to get to watch her with Won again. However, it was definitely times such as this one that he wishes his road to Royal didn’t consist of being on a television show. Having people recognize them meant that he wasn’t allowed to be himself around his boyfriend. While in public, he was constantly forced to return to the stone-age... In other words, he was back to simply being Jeon Won’s best friend. He wanted to kiss his lips, rest his hands on his hips and sway to the music with him, plus so many other lovey-dovey things that were forbidden.

Even so, that didn’t stop him from occasionally placing his hand on the small of Won’s back before pulling it away. It was kind of his way to ensure that he was still there and still okay. It was weird that he needed that sort of reassurance, but it gave him peace of mind. He smiled over at the younger boy with a huge, happy grin and excitedly asked, “Are you having fun?”
