bulletproof.

@fmdseojun:

duri had decided to visit his uncle’s and aunt’s café on that particular day, as he just really wanted to see them after a while, and show his face around the café. being there was always a comfort, even when excitement would raise to everyone that was sitting in there, considering knight’s duri was in the building. he entered, before going up to wait in line to get a coffee. however, he notices a familiar face as he got in line. “ah, aren’t you one of the gold star trainees?” he asked curiously, his normal smile beaming some more. “get whatever you want, it’s on me!” he said. 

“how are debut preparations coming?” duri asked, a bit curiously, but also ready to hear any concerns as they stood in line. duri was always a listening ear, always there for people to lay out whatever they needed. but, he also was curious on how it was going. he could remember his own debut preparations for knight, being so incredibly nervous, especially with the fact that his training period was rather short itself. but, he also knew that it definitely had to be a bit hard currently, especially since it looked like the members of element were redeubting - as could be gaged from the performances at the triple fantasy fest. 

they reached the front of the line, where duri had greeted the cashier by name. “do you want me to tell your uncle and aunt that you’re here?” they asked. he nodded his head, “ah, yes, but tell them they don’t need to come out right away.” he said, before turning to seojun. “have you decided on what you’d like?” duri was probably just going to get his regular. 

it honestly felt as though everything was still settling in with seojun. being told that he was going to debut, moving into a new dorm and losing his grandmother all within the span of a few weeks had left his head spinning round and round and he was still trying to process what he had been through in such a short amount of time. of course he was absolutely ecstatic at the prospect of debuting, but that excitement and desire to debut had dwindled drastically in the wake of his grandmother’s passing. he had been trying so hard not to let himself get too emotional or upset, because if that happened then he knew for sure that he wouldn’t be able to keep himself together any longer. 

instead of wallowing around the quicksilver dorm, he decided to go out to get a little bit of fresh air and some coffee. he found himself awkwardly standing in line at a random cafe he had come across just walking through the streets of the city. and he was quite surprised to see one of his seniors waltz into the place - obviously he knew the owners, maybe even was related to them. his assumptions were almost confirmed when he told him he could have anything he’d like. 

suwei stood outside the lucid dorms in her favorite pastel pink robe. she had pajamas on under but the robe made that impossible to see. she was done with schedules for the day and felt like it was a perfect night for a sleepover. it was going to be a night of relaxation. she sent out a text earlier that morning inviting her friend over and telling them to bring pajamas and a change of clothes.

when she got home she showered and blew up the air mattress she had bought earlier. she didn’t mind sharing her bed but she had just in case. on the mattress she placed the bag of skin care products along with a robe that matched her own.

she smiled as she caught sight of a familiar face walking up to the door. “hey! did you bring what i told you to bring?” she said opening the door and walking in waiting on them to follow.

even though he knew he would most likely get in some kind of trouble for being at the dorm of a female idol, especially if he were to get caught somehow by someone in the public going in and-or out of the dorm, seojun found himself agreeing to suwei’s invitation to come over to that evening. in all honesty, it was something that he needed. with so much stuff going on in his life, he could use an evening to just relax and unwind for a little bit. especially before he had to go to los angeles with the rest of his group members for two weeks. 

it didn’t take him long to get ready. after he made it back to the dorms after the group meeting he had with his members and their management team, he quickly grabbed his bag with pajamas and a change of clothes before he made his way over to meet suwei. 

LOCATION: empire polo club DATE: june 10, 2021 WITH anyone!

her day would have been perfect if it wasn’t for rehearsals. 

scanning the itinerary given to her before flying to california, gaeul realized she had a day free of any activities assigned to her. well, sort of. she will have the entire day free until rehearsals for the festival in the evening. so what better way to occupy her time in another country than being a tourist? sure, she’s born in california but palm springs is a whole different part of the state. besides hosting famous events every year, palm springs have lots of tourist spots that she doesn’t want to miss. 

so for the entire day, gaeul had been diligently checking off all the locations on her list. until the last one. the weekly villagefest is held every thursday evening till night. she really looked forward to that. unfortunately for her, she mistook the timing for the rehearsal which resulted in canceling the last location on her bucket list. 

“do you think rehearsals will end early?” she turns to the person beside her while everyone is getting briefed by the event coordinator. “i’m just asking. my first time participating in such events, you see.”

there was apart of seojun that was excited to be back in california. it was the state that he had been born and raised for the first eleven years of his life in. he, of course, felt a deep connection to the place. his parents even said that they were going to be buying tickets to the fantasy festival so they could come see him perform, even though he and his group hadn’t officially debuted yet. he should have been a lot more excited for it than he was, but there was a part of him that was incredibly sad. it was just another reminder for him that his grandmother wouldn’t be able to see him perform. he tried not to focus on the negative though. 

whilst being given the roaster for what they would be doing throughout the few days they’d be there in california along with everyone else, seojun allowed his mind to wander a bit, knowing that at least one of his group members would be paying attention and would relay the information to him once they had parted ways from the large group of idols and broke off on their own, sometime later in the day. 

he was snapped out of his thoughts by a question being posed in his direction, causing him to blink as he turned his attention to a semi familiar face. “uh.. your guess is just as good as mine.” he shrugged his shoulders. “this is my first time too. i haven’t even debuted yet.”

seoul in the rain – ft. ( OPEN )

summer showers felt like a welcome blessing in the hot summer of seoul although some might definitely disagree with this sentiment. the heat was one thing simon had never got used to even after spending more than half his year in korea now. perhaps it was just his memories playing tricks on him, but he didn’t really remember london being this hot, even during summer. perhaps on the height of the season, but definitely not as common as it was here.

siwoo had been standing by himself underneath an awning that provided him at least a bit shelter from the water, but it was getting rather inconvenient to not carry with him an umbrella, and by now he had already missed the bus back to the dorm a couple of times due to waiting the rain out. what was the point of waiting then when he could already be back home and curl up under the blanket to shoo away the weather? at this rate he might as well challenge and emrace it, conquer it and show it who was boss.

“hey! excuse me!” he called out to the nearest person passing by. “you, me, swan boating on the han river right now. you in? i’ll pay it.”

even though south korea had just entered the months designated for the summertime season, the heat had risen considerably from the earlier spring months in what seemed to be just a few short weeks. as someone who preferred the cooler, crisper, albeit not too cool or crisp, months of the season of autumn, he had to admit that he was a little be grateful for the warm weather. he absolutely hated cold weather, and even though he hated being too hot, he didn’t hate it as much as being cold. 

thankfully, the rain had come and allowed some kind of coolness to filter throughout the air for at least a day or two. he was wishing with crossed fingers that they’d get lucky and get another day or so of coolness afterwards, however he knew that he’d be pushing his luck with that one. with the cool weather still at its peak and seojun having no other plans for the day, he decided to spend some time outdoors. 

his walk was interrupted by someone calling out to him, causing his eyebrows to raise in surprise, with a smidge of amusement. “swan boating?” he glanced towards the sky, which was still a little gray and murky. “are you sure that’s a good idea?”
