wstina:
“unnie,” she speaks out gently, stopping just a few steps from the table. “sorry for intruding. i just wanted to ask if you’re alright.” after she hears her reply, i’m not feeling quite myself, an alarm goes off in the back of her mind. her voice sounds so familiar, but she can’t quite place it in the moment. “is there anything i can do?” it’s only as tina takes a seat in front of her that she finally sees her face and everything clicks. it’s chaesol and she’s… sad? tina tries to wipe off her surprised expression, since she understands it would be quite inappropriate to enter her fangirl mode when somebody is in need of her help—even if that someone is her favorite idol of all time.
Have you ever experienced having a really good day and then suddenly, out of nowhere, you received the most mortifying news ever? Well, that's what happened to Chaewon.
She woke up early feeling great, decided to take a walk, took some time to practice for Etoile's schedules, so on and so forth. All was well until she stopped by Yuseong's Comet Cafe, hoping to get a drink and relax for a bit, however destiny wasn't feeling particularly kind that day and she only got to enjoy her frappe in peace for about two minutes before receiving a call from her mom. She picked it up, not thinking much of it, but soon heard a hushed "Chaemin got into a car accident and is in the ER." from the other line and felt her entire world collapsing. Despite not seeing her family very often, she was extremely fond of her siblings and getting to know that her older sister ended up hurt like that was beyond shocking, to the point where she couldn't answer anything. After a few moments of silence from both sides, her mom complemented "I'm sorry, I just wanted to let you know. I already booked a flight to France tonight to go see her in the hospital she's staying at, I'll let you know about any further updates. Love you, bye.", and then hang up.
France. Her sister was staying in France for a while and Chaewon couldn't just go there and leave her group behind. Being stuck in Seoul made her feel an insufferable sense of hopelessness and she had to hide her face when a few tears started to quietly roll down her cheeks, as she still kept her image in mind even during these moments and wanted to refrain from making a scene in a public space.
She was planning to try to calm herself a bit before getting up and leaving, but before she could do that, she heard someone approaching her and trying to talk to her. She couldn't find enough strength to chat with anyone at that moment, so she tried to dismiss it by just apologizing and saying she wasn't feeling like herself, but then felt bad for attempting to get rid of the girl when she asked if there was anything she could do to help. Chaesol wiped her tears and finally looked up to see who was there, forming a weak smile to her even though she couldn't recognize the other. "I can't really think of anything that you could do to help, but thank you for asking. May I ask your name?"
ashws:
“Oh!” He exclaims when he spots her from the corner of his eye. “I’m sorry. I wouldn’t have if—” He pauses, biting on the inside of his cheek when bows his head in greeting. “Would you like something to drink? I saw someone holding a chocolate croissant.” He butchers the pronunciation, but with a sheepish grin. “…and I wanted to get one before it sells out.”
Special season-themed festivities are definitely one of the things Chaewon loves the most, so it goes without saying that she was very ecstatic to hear that Yuseong would be hosting a winter company trip to the DPP Light Festival, besides also taking the artists to a large ice skating rink.
When the 23rd eventually arrived, she went on her merry way to the event and spent hours running and playing around, waltzing in the ice rink, admiring the festival and taking the opportunity to catch up with some of her colleagues. Given the amount of energy she spent throughout the day, it was no surprise that she needed to take a break at some point and, when she finally did, she decided to go to the concession stand in hopes of being able to grab some food and a beverage to replenish her stamina.
While waiting in line and catching her breath, she spaced out for a moment just to be brought back to Earth by a loud thud of something falling near her, which prompted her to jump a bit in shock and sigh in relief when she realized she hadn't been hit by the skates that had fallen.
"Oh my god, you scared me a little there..." She says as soon as the person in front of her starts to turn, taking a deep breath to calm herself from the fright. But when she identifies that who's standing in front of her is her hoobae from Phoenix, she smiles softly. "Oh, it's you! Hi Ash! Don't worry about me." She dismisses his offer for a drink; despite enjoying getting free stuff from others, she feels like she shouldn't be making her juniors buy her things. "The chocolate croissants really do look appetizing! You mentioning them made me crave one too, I hope there are some left for us."
just a quick ooc note to apologize to everyone that i haven't replied in literally forever 😟 my sleep schedule is just horrible despite me trying to fix it so i've been chronically tired for the past few weeks but i'm finally feeling a little better so i'll hopefully answer everyone today/tomorrow as well as reply to my pending thread! :) 💚
kyunws:
“When’s the latest you’ve stayed, Chaesol?”
"Yeah, about the ghost!" Chaesol laughs lightly.
The vocalist stretches her arms and back for a bit, relaxing her muscles that had gotten a little sore after an extended period of time where she sat still, too focused on her sunbae's entertaining thought experiment. She was honestly really glad to have stumbled upon the Crescent member and have the honor to hear his ideas while he tried to write lyrics because, to be frank, she'd probably have a pretty boring day otherwise.
Once she hears Kyun's impression of Yuseong's CEO, she bursts off laughing, probably more than she should. However, when she calms down, she expresses a frightened look on her face. "You call him Jaewook hyungnim? That's scarier than any haunted creature, I feel like he'll appear at any given moment after you said that to tell you to address him as Jaewook-ssi or Yoo Jaewook sajangnim" Her eyes widen as she speaks, as if she had just told a ghost story.
"About when's the latest I've stayed... There were more than one occasion where I stayed so late in the practice room that the sun rose while I was still there. I'm not really scared of ghosts so I didn't feel afraid, besides I was too focused on getting my notes or dance moves right to think about any entities. However, I am very relieved that Jaewook-ssi never showed up out of the blue when I was training alone, now that we've mentioned him." Chaewon answers the last question, in a light-hearted manner.
"What about you, though? Have you never stayed that late in the company as well? If you tell me you haven't I'll just assume you're lying." She complements, finally shutting up while waiting for a reply.
“ A silver whisper and sparkle, the sound of snow crunching; I hear the bells ringing in this sweet moment ”

5. Who is your inspiration?
"That's a really easy one!" Chaewon shoots as soon as she hears the question, without thinking twice. "My biggest inspirations are our sunbaenims from Crescent and Ladybug. You know, when I got scouted by Yuseong and then became a trainee, I barely knew anything about idols, singing, dancing, etc. so I found myself observing my seniors a lot to learn what I was supposed to do. As time gone by I ended up forming a friendship with some of them, but besides considering them my friends, I still consider them my biggest inspirations too because I can't even begin to imagine where I'd be now if I hadn't taken them as examples when I was younger, as well as I still learn new things from them all the time." She finally pauses for a moment, catching her breath and thinking about what she had just said. "Whew, that was a little bit too much." She chuckles a bit, not being used to expressing her admiration for others like that. "But yeah, they really mean a lot to me."
17. Is there any advice you would give to someone who would want to be in your position?

2. What would you be doing if you weren’t an idol/musician?
"What I'd be doing if I weren't an idol?" Chaesol mutters the question to herself, pondering about it for a moment. "Actually, I'm not too sure about what that would be." She laughs after responding, thinking back about how she never really planned what she should do after she graduated school because she led a very easy and simple life, she didn't even need to plan anything out considering how she innately knew that things would just work out one way or another as they always did ever since she was a child. "But now that you've asked me that, I suppose I could just be a model?" The girl remembers how she was scouted by Yuseong in the first place because she became an ulzzang in high school. "Or maybe I'd just go to university as everyone else does and study..." She needs to pause for a second and think about what she could major in. "something related to arts."
"17. Is there any advice you would give to someone who would want to be in your position?
"Umm.. Sure!" She smiles softly, thinking carefully about what she should say. "If there's someone out there who'd like to be in my position, which means like... being an idol? I suppose. Then you should follow your dreams! Try auditioning at a few companies and you might get in!" The smile hadn't left her until then, but it dissolves for a moment when she muses about what she just said. "Well, of course you might not in your first try, I myself think I was just lucky to get signed after mine... But if it's something you really want keep trying and I'm sure someone's going to want you in their company! Don't give up!" She goes back to smiling, in hopes to be able to cheer up the imaginary person she's talking to. "But also..!" Her eyes widen, as she's about to give a warning. "On an ending note, be aware that being an idol isn't easy. It requires a lot of physical and mental strenght, I almost gave up after I debuted, so if you'd like to be in my position have that in mind as well."

@etoile_official: merry christmas bonbons 🎄❄️ i hope you're enjoying the holidays! i can't wait to see how 2022 is going to turn out, but i'm sure it'll be great as long as i have you by my side 🧸💝 #chaesol
setting: chaesol preparing for holiday’s christmas ballad ver. word count: 659 notes: n/a
oh... the preparations for the sbs gayo daejeon. just mentioning it to chaesol makes her quiver from head to toe.
it all started when etoile’s manager told the members that they would be meeting in the next day to discuss their performances on the end of year music festivals: sbs gayo daejeon and mbc gayo daejejeon. chaesol went to sleep on her merry way, not thinking too much about it since that wasn’t the first time that the group was participating in those kinds of events and so far all of them were just fine.
in the next morning, she woke up as per usual, no worries in her head, enjoyed a nice breakfast and got ready whilst imagining that what awaited her later that day was nothing different than her usual routine. given that, she headed to the conference room and waited peacefully until the girls and the staff arrived.
when they got there, the manager started to give them a run down of how things would be and there was nothing out of the ordinary about it at first. they started by talking about mbc gayo daejejeon, in which they’d have to perform MAGO, I’m so sick and Bon Bon Chocolat, you know... the usual. but then, as soon as they wrapped the first event’s schedule and moved on to sbs gayo daejeon, chaewon’s chin dropped and her heart sank. they’d have to sing a christmas ballad version of holiday?
it had been a really long time since chaesol had to do something like that and she started to panick a little bit upon hearing the announcement, despite trying not to give away how distressed those news were making her. the thing is, she wasn’t the biggest fan of just singing while sitting down and doing nothing else. that’s right, the “singing live” part didn’t bother her at all, even though she was only the group’s sub vocalist, but not being able to express her charisma and performance through dancing like she was used to did.
although it was unecessary to worry over such thing, considering how chaewon displayed a natural, eye-catching charisma no matter what she did, she wasn’t really aware of that herself and so she spent the following days without being able to sleep properly because of that performance. she spent countless hours in the practice room, sitting in a chair and staring at herself in the mirror while she sang and tried to look as captivating as humanly possible so she wouldn’t lose her charm. she even sought out help from other idols at the company and asked for opinions on whether her stage presence was good enough or not. it was quite hellish, truthfully.
although it felt like months, the days until the festival quickly went by and chaesol suddenly found herself in sbs’s backstage, getting dolled up to go on stage and still feeling anxious about it. she even had to take painkillers for headaches in the morning from how severely desperate she was. she genuinely wanted to give it all for her fans, especially since it was to celebrate christmas. when it finally got to etoile’s turn to go up, the leader tried her best to pretend she was calm so she wouldn’t ruin everything she had prepared and began to sing alongside the other members.
to be frank, the girl barely remembers how the performance went, perhaps due to adrenaline, but when she tries to look back on it, the memory’s quite blurry. at least, she searched herself up online on the next day and there were no negative articles about her, so that was enough to make her relieved. looking back on it, chaewon did realize that her panick was a little out of hand and there was no reason to have gone through so much stress, but oh well... that’s just how she is.
