Soundbox Studio’s Charity Event; Acro Dance Class; Unconditionally 

Apparently this stage couldn't see enough of her but Yubin didn't mind one bit, the next song featured her own class, acro-dance. Honestly, she was surprised that students signed up for this. Dancing could be hard already but this was dangerous. If anything went wrong someone could be hurt, so she was even more careful with the moves they would do.

With the lights off, she moved onto the stage with her students all paired up, and she could thank her friend Niro for joining her on stage as she partner. Once she was sure everyone was spread out and had enough room, the music came and she changed with it.

The girls started off on the ground as the boys went into an aerial, then they made their way over and that's when the dance really started. In a second, they were falling into the arms of their partners before being picked up and moved a little. The boys arms went around their waste and were pushed off before being lifted into a circle, their legs on a v shape so they could have footing once they touched the ground.

As the boys moved over a little, they ran into their arms and were lifted into in the air, in a straight line, her head dangled a few inches from the floor. It was just a second before they being lifted in the air, their legs spread as the boys spun them around. Slowly, they came down until they were touching the floor once more.

From the moment the chorus kicked in their wasn't a moment for rest. One second they were spinning and being lifted until they laid on the floor and again girl girls were in the air until everyone was on the ground and did aerial's away from each other.

Then came time for the most dangerous move for this class. The girls were lifted but not given much space as they lifted in a small circle, still being held on the arms by the boys. With one more lift, and a pose in the air, they came to the point were all boys set the girls down and walked off stage, leaving only the females as they lights and music dimmed.

In that moment, Yubin couldn't have been more proud of her class. Not only did they have the chemistry she wanted, they were safe and no one made a mistake. It showed her -and everyone- that these kids took their class serious and understood just how much went into performing acro-dance pieces. One wrong move could be the end of their dancing, it was important to pay attention and listen and this showed they pulled it off without a hitch.

speak now ‘ jsy & hjs

@rkjcshua

she’s on edge, absolutely jittery—her feet keep tap, tap, tapping on the ground, fingers pressing into the warmth of the cup, eyes flickering between the cash wrap, the small stage in the back and her own cup. she can’t keep still, caffeine bubbling in her body from the copious amounts of coffee she had already consumed (is this number three or four, she’s lost count). her tongue prods against the inside of her cheek, drawing absentminded shapes into the side of her beverage—before her attention is momentarily taken by the sound of her name.

her head snaps to the side, eyes blinking rapidly before adjusting, settling on the familiar male across from her. she stays silent for a moment, hand lifting to rub at the corner or her eye, yawning as she does so.

“sorry,” she shoots him, sounding insincere as can be—but actually meaning her apology; she’s truthfully just exhausted, and she doesn’t mean to ignore the other. she takes a sip of her drink, the liquid nearly hot enough to scald her tongue but she manages to get by with only a minor wince. she lets out a short breath after, setting her cup down as her hand reaches up to adjust the strands of her hair appropriately, ensuring she looks at least a little decent for the next performance. “i didn’t get much sleep last night.”

she presses her elbows on the counter, shooting the male a curious look, cup dangling from her hands loosely between her palms. “what were we talking about again? oh—you were telling me about america.” she nods her head, eyes rolling upwards in thought. “i think. i heard america—but it might have been americano. oops.” her smile is sheepish.

⌈cafe coffee day / hjs + jmh⌋

the familiar aroma that hits his nose is what makes joshua sigh happily. seeing the people inside the cafe, even if there isn’t as much energy as there was in california, the setting calmed the boy; made him think back home in his barista days. he wasn’t a barista anymore though, those days were long gone. he just wanted to get coffee and waiting for a friend, an acquaintance really, to come and chat with.

even though it had been a couple of months since he first came to korea, the nineteen year old was still new to his surroundings and the area in general, it was quite different to america; coming from a melting pot that was the bay area to a land where the only race was his own. it didn’t help in joshua’s case that he didn’t even know the language well enough to converse with people that only spoke said mother-tongue. 

that’s why he took a temporary pause on making a name for himself as he tried to get to know korea more and take up some classes to enhance his skills, namely dancing in the soundbox studios. he had met fellow people like him, some that were bilingual and some that only spoke their mother-tongue. and that’s how he had met the fellow idol in the making, a mutual friend from hyuna’s side and they seemed to converse well enough.

opening his phone, joshua saw the time flashing on the screen before he went to his messages, wanting to text the other female.

hong jisoo :: hey! hong jisoo :: i’m here at the cafe. hong jisoo :: would you like me to get you something to drink?

the phone started buzz just after she finished working at the mall like it usually does from variety different people from family checking up on her and updates from her friends on their days have been like. however newly friend texted which was surprising to see, it would be nice to see the boy again and try get know this dongsaeng.  

minhee felt like big sister towards the kid and he somewhat reminded her of combination between minsoo and jieun. he could easily be their love child or what jisoo future child would look like it, the girl laughed at herself thinking of that thought. 

her little slender fingers tapped away at the phone replying to the other as she made her way to the cafe to informing the dongsaeng to she would love to. she was in need for coffee after long day at work anyways it would be nice to do it with new company instead of usual suscepts as she enjoys creating new friendships. 

joo minhee :: of course sweetheart. 

joo minhee :: I’ll be on my way there. 

it did not take long until the blonde arrived at the cafe where joshua was at, making through the bustling crowds as it seems so lively this late afternoon most likely all wanting their caffeine fix to wake themselves up to get home. minhee looked around the cafe searching the younger, hoping jisoo would of seen her first to call her over.

░▐ ★_ruff day 、

《 ★ rkjcshua 》 even ever optimistic zhang yixing has his off days and normally dancing works. his favorite outlet of all time. dance has never let him down but he can’t focus. eight counts are lost in his mind and he can’t make one verse’s choreography from the other. when joshua walks in for their arranged practice, yixing’s scrambling from his seated position on the floor, arm draped over the other’s shoulder, patting it lightly as he tries to distract him from setting his stuff down to start dancing. “hey, don’t you think today is so nice outside... wouldn’t it be a shame to spend it inside? look at how handsome we both are? keeping that inside, away from gracing other people’s eyes, it’s such a shame!” 

how serious he is should be a crime. 

truthfully, he wants to avoid saying that he isn’t feeling too good and the room feels stuffier than he expected. why was it so hot in there for an early autumn day? “you know what we should do, go to a dog cafe! what do you think? ya, think of it. if you wanted a girlfriend, what better way than for a handsome guy to be holding a dog?” in this moment, he finally laughs because he truly is joking but he does think he makes a valid point. “don’t you like dogs, what do you think? sound like a good idea?”

⌈lord’s name in vain / hjs + bms⌋

inside the church sat joshua, testing his korean by reading passages of the bible, his brows furrowing in concentration as he tried to decipher the text; the usually understandable text in english was like reading chicken scratch in the new language, his mother-tongue. thank his lucky stars, that nobody was a mind reader over here otherwise he’d be totally screwed if they found out about his mental bashing towards the difficult language.

getting ready to leave the place and head back to his own apartment, he immediately paused when he heard a voice speak in english. now usually, this wouldn’t really mean anything to joshua since he knew other friends of his that were bilingual; fluent in korean and basic in english, but this stranger’s voice had an english accent that was quite different from his friends’ cute korean accents.

staring at the other male as they talked, he stood like that for a bit longer and before he knew what’s what, joshua was standing behind the tall male. tapping his shoulder, he quickly rushed out his terrible introduction. “do you speak english? because i didn’t mean to eavesdrop or anything but i heard you speak something in english but in a british accent so i wasn’t sure whether you were british or something”, the nineteen year old stated before adding on, “my name is joshua, or jisoo.”

“I understand. Right. I’ll be there then.” Shaking his head ever so slightly, when his grandmother refuses to hang up the phone. The old woman had called him up after the service just to tell him that his parents were coming to town for both the Chuseok festival and to personally check their two youngest sons progress. “Nan, I get it. I wont be late.”

Finally saying her last goodbye, Minsoo cut the call in the middle of her farewell. Knowing if he left the line open, she would find another reason to continue chatting away. He sighed thinking about the conversation that just passed over the call; he rolled his eyes, knowing full well that his parents were only here. Probably because they heard Sehun got into Sphere. Whilst when he was signed into Royals, they didn’t even give him a call. 

Although usually it would have ruined his whole day, receiving such a call that is, Minsoo found himself taking a deep breath. Trying his damndest to remind himself that he just came from a mass, and should be putting negativity aside. Just as he is about to step down the front steps of the church, someone’s touch halted his step. 

Turning around he was greeted with the sight of a younger looking male, eagerly word vomited on the spot. Minsoo just about stopped himself from laughing aloud, but he doesn’t the grin to appear in his features. “Ooh mate, easy there now.” He joked, in English of course. “Well Josh, my boy, I am English. So it’s only makes sense I know how to speak the language. You’re American, I’m guessing?” Managing to catch the other boy’s accent, during his little introduction earlier. “I’m Minsoo, though a few call me Cap.” The rapper shrugs, mischievously smiling at the other.

⌈you’re my aesthetic / hjs + csc⌋

@rkjcshua:

feeling like the weather was on his side today, joshua went out of his place and decided to do some picture taking, anything from the atmosphere to profiles, and anywhere in between. clad with a black and red plaid shirt and black ripped jeans and his worn out sneakers, he grinned as he took in his surroundings with his camera in his hands and his phone and wallet in his back pocket. korea was a beautiful place indeed.

the nineteen year old had been walking and taking pictures for a couple of hours and his initial energy had depleted while he was on his adventure. spotting a park nearby, he finished snapping whatever he had previously seen as he walked towards the green grassy area, ready to take a small break before continuing about his day.

eyeing an empty bench underneath the shade, joshua swerved towards it, sitting down immediately as he took in the scenery; from children playing on the structures to owners with their dogs to people having picnics. he was snapping the damn near ethereal moment, when one of the strangers caught his eye.

now normally, he never really took pictures of people unless he honestly felt that he should and it was a rare occasion; this was one of those rare occasions. the nineteen year old immediately took a couple of shots of the stranger doing their own thing before getting up, approaching them. “hey there. can i have a minute with you for a second?”, he asked in somewhat decent korean, hoping that they understood him.

ever since his first vlog a month and a half ago, seungcheol had become increasingly interested in making more of the different style of video. he didn’t often have anything interesting to say, however, which was a considerable issue considering that’s exactly what he’d be doing, but nonetheless, he would find things to say eventually — be it updates about videos, his life, interesting days out or logging performances from the beginning of creation to the end of the final product. but the one thing seungcheol really wanted from these videos was for them to not be.... well, boring. 

whilst seeing someone in their element, in their home, is a warm (and quiet) environment to do these style of videos, it seemed awfully boring to seungcheol to make every one of these videos trapped with the same views behind him — especially with such a beautiful city on his doorstep. after the experience he’d had with his previous update videos, spending so long trying to find the perfect spot, he decided for upcoming vlogs, he needed to plan in advance, and that’s what he was doing today.

the weather was lovely, the atmosphere good, his mood strong, as he walked through the streets and parks, jotting down usable, pretty locations in his notes on his phone. currently, he was wandering through a park he hadn’t visited in a while, browsing around the landscape. he probably looked lost. 

his thoughts deep in camera angles and lighting, he hadn’t heard or seen the other boy approach him until it was too late. his voice was soft, but it made his entire body jump in fright, as he meets his gaze with wide eyes. “o-oh! s-sure. sorry— a-about that. what’s up?”

puberty hit me,

@rkjcshua

there’s nothing better than a glass of ice coffee when the weather’s hot, and his friends have given him the perfect reason to have lunch outside of his workplace. a small gathering arranged by his old friends from cali tempted him to ditch royal’s beautiful garden and so far he hasn’t regretted his decision. seeing familiar faces after so long makes him feel like he’s in middle school again, naive yet nasty.

some of the people there he doesn’t even recall, friends of a friend that he might’ve crossed paths once with. it’s all good though, as there’s a sense of belonging he’s been exempt of for a while since getting back to seoul. listening to some of the stories people have to tell, he finds it intriguing how much has happened in his friends’ lives without him knowing. distance does play a big part in determining how involved one is in another’s life, but one thing it never fails to do is to create longing and the desire to reunite.

eyes wandering around the cafe, he waves to some more friends, making small talk before getting back to prior conversations. it’s only when a brown-eyed male comes in that he actually gets up, smile blooming on his lips as he pulls the other into a quick hug.

“joshua! long time no see man, how have you been?” holding the other by his shoulders, he grins like a little kid and his eyes shine like he’s just been enlightened. “you look exactly the same. except for your height, you’ve grown so much!”
