Call Me Django

luciel has never tried on a korean school uniform, he feels a little strange about it, but it’s a new experience regardless. “do i look awkward in this…?” he mumbles to seojun, straightening his collar. the script for this episode looks pretty much like a classroom-kind of theme, where they have to take silly tests for their mbti.

thinking about it, what was his mbti again? he knows it’s important to know in society but… was it INTJ or something? he’ll roll with that, he supposes. he remembers his result changing a couple of times, though.

last time he took it, he ended up being ENFP if he remembered correctly. it's not like he told many people his mbti so he didn't always remember what he was.

he had been pretty silent after the talent show. he didn't want to think about his audition until he passed now, he could mention his good fortune. it had taken some asking around but he finally spotted the other boy in the hall. tae creep up behind him slowly, finally reaching out to tap seojun on the shoulder before he stepped in front of him.

trying to find a snack was his one mission and he's grateful for a vending machine nearby. he's already pulling out the money he'll need for his desired snack before he feels a tap on his shoulder and sees a familiar face. he's glad he didn't jump at all. he's sure he'd never hear the end of it.

seojun knew he was passionate when it came to dancing so getting to debut in a group still had this surreal feeling. even if he was skilled, he could have been missing something and not got the chance to be in vybe. he already was the oldest in vybe so he was just glad he got this chance and that lime took a chance with him. plus being an idol was his dream and he was enjoying every little thing they got to do. he looked forward to more photo shoots and performances no matter how busy it got. he still tried to stay in touch with people he was close to but he knew it was harder to meet at the moment. "it really does. i'm glad to see people with this passion at a talent show." it was what companies wanted and he was eager to see who would get to be a trainee. "that's true. we'll see what the companies choose at the end of the day but we might be too busy to even see the new trainees." he laughed a bit. "it makes me wanna be more passionate as well. we can and use that for our performances with the other members of vybe."

noel looks at seojun, thankful for the other. had he not spotted seojun dancing that day, he’s not sure he would’ve figured out his interest in dance, maybe he still would’ve, maybe he never would’ve. seojun is kind of the reason that noel is where he is today, while it is noel that has worked his ass of, it is seojun’s dance that captured noel, noel probably doesn’t say it enough, but he’s quite thankful for seojun.

seojun felt much closer to everyone than he had before when it was just known as project green. he had only known haneul and noel before so he was glad he got to be closer to everyone else. they feel like they could be a family in a way and seojun would love that. it would be a closer bond than he had with his friends back home that he only gets to see if he gets to travel for any holiday. he hopes to learn more about all of them even noel and haneul who he's been close to for quite some time now. "i felt you'd say something like that. i can't escape your flirting." a laugh leaves seojun instantly even if his cheeks are a soft pink. he hadn't been a flirt back then at all and the ones he dated had been due to them approaching him first. he nods before doing a serious pose for noel before smiling again after the photo is taken. "i do remember that. guess they didn't understand at all." he laughs before doing as the other asked, wanting him to have all the photos possible.

during their vybe days noel genuinely wanted to get closer to his members, during project green that had been a bit scarier to do. during project green they weren’t guaranteed to debut, there was a chance some of them would’ve been removed, like someone actually had been. it would’ve hurt to get close to these guys either for them not to debut, or for noel not to debut. but now that they had debuted, noel knew they’d stay together and now he was excited to get closer to them all.

getting to film much more variety shows left seojun in awe. he got to be on ones he saw other idols that he admired on and he was eager to see what vybe would be up to on them. being on idol human theatre was already a treat. he's sure the fans will love seeing behind the scenes for them and whatever chaos they cause as a group. he knows most groups film this in their practice room but he appreciates a little change of scenery. he can already see some of the other members having their own fun and goofing around as the cameras filmed them. the little interview parts to talk about previous clips or even just what it's like in the group is funny as well. he knows he's laughing a lot of the time and tries to stop himself multiple times even if he fails. seojun finds himself with noel now though and is doing his best at a game of badminton that they started. he can't say he's good but he's trying which counts at least. he's not competitive with this so he doesn't mind. "my skills are definitely not in any sort of sports at all." he laughs a bit as he looks towards noel before hitting the birdie over the net towards noel.

joining variety shows was fun, even though the cameras were always rolling, it did make noel closer to his members. he’d gotten quite close to his members by now, surprised by how quickly it happened, but he supposes they do spend a lot of time together. at the moment actually, noel sees the vybe members more than he sees his own family. they’re luckily enjoyable to be around, and noel loves all of his members, but he can’t help but miss his family and old friends.

idol human theatre is chaotic to be on, and noel didn’t know about the show before vybe was asked to be joining. noel can’t quite keep up, it feels like they’ve done a million random things today, is it fun? yes. is noel a bit confused about what’s going on? also yes. 

there's been nothing but chaos since they've been on idol human theatre. he's sure the fans will love seeing the chaos that they are like together and get a glimpse into their dynamics. it's been a lot but he's enjoying every minute of it. it's like he can let go a little bit and just have fun which he doesn't seem to always let himself do so.

honestly, noel hadn’t expected to be this nervous once he debuted, with so much hard practice under his belt, he figured he wouldn’t be nervous to stand on stage ever. but for the music shows for their debut he’d been nervous like hell. figuring that he had already been on music shows for his debut, he figured he wouldn’t be nervous for their first comeback, once again he was wrong.

it feels like time passes so fast when you're just...existing. going through routines-- wake up, get to training, spend the day doing whatever the company has set, and then going home to sleep and restarting the day over. stevie really has to make his days, so that they stick out from the usual unexciting moments.

like for example-- stevie finally getting a chance to hang out with seojun in a very long time. the debut and subsequent promotions after have left the older busy. stevie's grateful seojun could squeeze some time in for him.

he was glad to spend time with stevie though after what felt like forever. he was used to seeing the other male often but since debut, he barely saw any of the trainees unless they bumped into each other briefly.

seojun knew he was living on excitement and a ton of caffeine at the moment but it was all worth it to him. this is what he had wanted to do since he had seen his first idol group on tv. even with the busy schedule he enjoy every part of it and made sure he was keeping up. plus he wasn't gonna complain about dancing and performing more. he was ready to see what more vybe would do in the future and what opportunities would open up for them. "it really is. you can see a lot of passion in some people. i do as well. i know how nerve wracking that can be. i get that. some didn't draw me in at all." he says, trying to recall those performances that he felt like he was doze off on or dissociate during. "i mean i get that. plus we've also been judged ourselves on next gen. i feel our opinions definitely matter." he knew that it was odd to judge though since this was their first time doing so. "that's true since those will be the ones even the companies would be interested in."

honestly, noel wasn’t sure he’d debut, thinking about how late he started all this. when he joined next gen he’d only been dancing for a few months, and he’d never tried his luck with singing nor rapping before. a lot of way younger people had practiced way longer than him and were way more skilled than him. noel was getting older and older, and it felt like the people around his age had practiced for years while he hadn’t. he worked hard though, and in the end, starting late didn’t mean he wasn’t going to debut, he had worked his ass off and it worked.

either way, he's been enjoying monitoring the other vybe members' photoshoots even if he hasn't been as actively commenting on them.

"i meaaaaaaan, i won't say no," haneul says playfully, though he's already always around everyone else when they're doing their solo shoots. it's just fun to see what the other members do and try to adapt things he doesn't already do to his own photoshoots.

he wonders if he'll be seen as a parental figure with how he is around the others. he may not be the leader but he does love making sure everyone is okay in some way.

he laughs a bit before smiling fondly at the other. "i knew you wouldn't. gotta have my hannie around." he just likes hearing what the other thinks and plus he'll take any chance to be around his best friend more.

seojun can't help but wonder what other ideas they'll do for the web show. it's hard not to think about it when he's seen so many from other idol groups. it has him excited though he knew he was already. he enjoys everything they have been doing on their schedule though so he's ready to see how this will be perceived. plus he's always up for getting closer to his members and showing a different side of himself. hearing noel's words had him blushing. he wished he was better at taking compliments so he was always a flustered mess. that was wishful thinking though it seemed. "you think so? makes me wonder if you'd say that if we had gone to the same schools back then." he laughed a bit. "sure. i don't mind and i definitely wanna remember this." he does a piece signs and hearts with his hands, feeling they fit for this. "any other poses you want me to do?" he asks, curiously.

in their short time vybe and project green had existed, noel had gotten closer with his fellow members, for majority of them when project green started, he had barely talked to them. practicing every day and spending so much time together made noel feel closer with the vybe members than a lot of friends he’d had for years. but, still, even though they’ve grown close, they haven’t all known each other for long, and noel wants to learn more about his members, he thinks this show might be an opportunity to do that.

for now at least, he still feels like he's on cloud nine. though, honestly, haneul doesn't think it'll ever stop feeling like that.

watching seojun throw up some hearts at the fans makes him laugh a little to himself, unable to stop the grin from appearing on his lips. considering he was a fan of groups too, it's not anything new to see an idol do things like that. but maybe because it's his best friend, who he lives with and has seen freshly woken up and disheveled, it's kinda a funny image for him. he's sure it's the same for seojun too.

he peers out the window and waves at people who he can see holding pickets or banners with his name or face on them, wanting them to know that he's acknowledging them. he wonders how many of them they'll see at fansigns later this promotion period.

he loves this feeling of being in awe constantly especially with seeing how many fans they've been able to get with their music so far.

seojun knows that if it was outside of this situation, he wouldn't be throwing up heart signs and being silly as often. it just felt different especially since he's beside his best friend who has seen him in ways that the fans might never get to. it's funny but this is their life now and he's grown very accustomed to that easily.

he can't help but do more aegyo and waves a bit at some fans that he sees holding different signs with his name and face. this is already so different but a part of him loves it and can't help but indulge a little. makes him look forward to other times they'll get to interact with fans.

sua listens to seojun explain, her frown deepening more out of thought than genuine annoyance, for once. she's not quite sure how to read that other than she she's definitely giving off a newbie vibe. "i started this winter," she mumbles in lieu of response, shutting her eyes for a moment. "so...you're right. kinda."

finally, she pries her back off the floor. sua sits up, stretching one arm up as she finds out seojun is a dancer. the other trainee is beginning to wonder if everyone here is a better dancer-- or at least more focused in it. lime's been known for performance, apparently, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. it does everytime, though.

he nods a bit before he answers her. "ah, so i was on mark at least a bit." sure he doesn't know all the trainees that end up at line or in any of the other two companies either. plus with how busy he is, he doesn't even get to meet any of them.

he knows everyone in lime seems to go the route of dancing but it's his passion at the end of the day. he loves singing but nothing beats dancing when it comes to him. plus he instilled the push to dance since he was young so he always feels happy when he's dancing. he didn't ever wanna disappoint lime since he enjoyed being apart of the company.

seojun knew that even through the tiredness that hit him, he was thoroughly enjoying himself with everything as apart of vybe. it was nice doing something outside the norm though with judging for the talent show. plus seeing the different people get the treats with their names attached to it was a pleasant experience in it's own right. he had been keeping a score in his head to see which was the most popular and it was a bit entertaining while judging. "there are! i don't think i could narrow it down at least right now." he lets out a sigh but smiles right after. "that's true. whoever has the bigger impact is the best to go by." he knows the different performances won't have all the it factors so focusing on one thing helps. he gives noel a playful bump with his elbow before nodding as he listens. "it does. it seems so surreal being a judge. i am too. i love seeing how everyone is changing up their performances." makes him wonder who will get the chance to be a trainee from this. there's a few potentials he'd be all for seeing. "i do as well. those are definitely ones that stick out to me."

noel had become exhausted as an idol, but the excitement was pulling him through. even though he was doing something everyday, practicing his body and interacting with so many people, it made him tired, but with the excitement of being an idol, he managed to keep going. this was what noel wanted to do with his life, and he was so happy he achieved debut, even with their busy schedule, noel was above happy about it all, being in vybe really was all he wanted, and he was excited for the future, even though the future looked busy.
