Revitalize

So I have updated Jinah’s background and created connections for her. Nothing too crazy but hopefully this gives a little more to work with! 

If anyone is part of the debut camp and like to plot something around that I am more than happy to do so as well uwu

Work IRL is gonna be picking up a bit but I can finally manage it so that means there will be a bit more activity from me LOL. My twitter is sakaxbaka if you like to reach me there for plot or any other kinds of discussions feel free~ and if you like this post I will hop in ur DMs as well.

will it be enough, jinah?

Blood, sweat and tears. Sure it might be an exaggeration but it was what Jinah currently felt about during these weeks that have led to this audition with the potential of being a backup dancer for HONEY’s upcoming solo. The music is good, the choreography is challenging in a good way and Jinah was feeling a lot better than she was a few weeks ago. Her shoes are tight and her training clothing fit snug against her body. She wants to do well and if the gods allow it, to be picked as a dancer but more so for herself and the improvements she has made with her dancing.

Jinah isn’t starting this audition with a high ego or as if she became the best in just over a month, but that she can stand on her left AND right foot for once. The camera began to record which meant the audition had begun with Jinah taking a deep breath before she began. She made it apparent to memorize the movements and timing of steps with the rhythm of the song, once in a while catching herself mouthing the lyrics. It was honestly a good song and she couldn’t help but really vibe with it to hear it in its complete form on the music charts.

— new roomies

it was so early. granted, sena should have been used to this; she was used to getting up at around 5:30am to be ready for dance training. however, it was surprisingly more draining to sit on a bus for a while than it was actually being up and dancing. perhaps it was due to the fact that she was sitting, and wanted to sleep but couldn’t due to the bumpiness of the ride; or, perhaps it was because she wad dreading a whole month of dancing almost non-stop when she knew she wasn’t the best dancer. 

by the time the bus arrived at cj enm contents world, sena was ready to take the hour she had left before the first lessons began to take a quick little nap. however, in her grogginess, she hadn’t realized- she has a roommate. she looked at the luggage laying on the floor, her eyes moved upwards, seeing another girl, probably a bit older than her, sitting on one of the beds. “okay,” sena thought to herself silently, “it’s fine. it’s just like back at the company.”

she bowed politely. “hi, i’m sena. nice to meet you.” she placed her black suitcase down on her bed, carefully zipping it open and beginning to place some of her clothes in the drawers. she’d only brought her training clothes with her, unsure that there would be any time to go out anyways. besides, they were going back in just six days, so she could grab some extra stuff if she needed. “oh-” she quickly realized jinah was talking to her as she was doing this. “uh, i’m kind of excited. it’ll be nice to have a change of scenery from the company building.” 

“Oh yeah that’s true.” Jinah kinda got stuck in her own thoughts for a few moments after that, putting on her shoes and seeing Sena put her clothes away. As much as she wanted to sleep it seemed like a good idea instead of rummaging through her luggage each day. She remembers seeing Sena around the training rooms never really had a reason to interact, well until now. Jinah figured if they are going to be here the next few weeks it would be better to at least get to know her rather be complete strangers.

Jinah mimicked the others actions and placed her clothes in an open drawer next to her, be it more so threw them in without any form of organization. “My better judgement told me not to sign-up since dancing is my weakest skill but I wouldn’t get better unless I push myself.” She shrugged her shoulders as she plopped back on her bed. The day had barely started and even though her body was tired, her mind was already racing with anticipation, probably why she wouldn’t shut up.

what is this? a boost of confidence? 

She knew what she got herself into, knew that even though she has improved in her dancing, that is still one of her weakest skills even if she has only been at LGC for little over a year. Jinah is proud of her accomplishments but this bootcamp has exposed her weakness to the fullest for everyone to see. The choreography for week 2 was one thing and felt pretty good, like she was finally finding her footing and losing her extra left foot.

But this next week was another story. She felt it in her knees, ankles and feet, like her muscles were sore, joints popping as if she hadn’t moved in months. Jinah thought she was over this with her body in the first couple months when she joined LGC but now it’s as if her body got sucked back into time with all this bootcamp crap. It’s not crap in all honesty, but Jinah is really hating having to move along her knees on the wooden floor in the training rooms.

The scoldings were just as brutal if not worse given the circumstance and Jinah was really feeling her energy drained from the coaches and trainers. It made it hard to sleep even with their comments running laps through her mind, even as she tries to massage out her joints before going to bed. All Jinah wants is to improve herself and possibly see the finish line of this whole bootcamp. But it seems like her own growth is not stagnant but it's slow and obviously causing frustration among herself and others.

7am on the dot. Jinah’s bags are packed and eyes heavy as she vaguely sits next to another trainee as instructions are being told to them all. She can hear what is being said but it’s taking all her will power not to role her eyes. It’s like the word “bootcamp” isn’t known to be a symbol or working to the bone physically and mentally... Jinah knew what she signed up for even if she hated the early hours.

Luckily the drive wasn’t long and soon they were given their room assignments to settle in and begin the bootcamp. Jinah was the first to reach the room and just picked a random spot to unpack or honestly just throw her bags to the bed. It was about an hour before it all started so she just allowed herself to stretch across her bed and see who her roommates were gonna be. She didn’t think much about changing and even fell into a half-sleep before she hear another pair of feet walking into the room.

Jinah knew the routine, it has been set in stone for over a year but it doesn’t mean she likes getting out of bed. But that’s why they make alarms and dormmates who will pull at you to get up. Though Jinah enjoys her weekday schedule the main highlight when it comes to Saturday’s is she gets to see Haeun and actually have a bit of a social life. Of course as they get ready they chat and gossip about anything they can and then it turns into silly faces and telepathy eye contact during the training periods. They had first met briefly  during auditions in July of 2021 and behold when the day same to move into the dorms a familiar face was there to greet one another with a friendship blooming along the way.

It’s crazy to think that Jinah and Haeun would become friends so quickly but Jinah knew the first day they ever stayed up late talking about each other interests and just life stuff that she wanted the other in their life. Sure life was currently a straining routine of sweat and criticism but it was what she signed up for, and no one was alone in this.

— Oh right, it’s my birthday. Cool!

: mention of @lgcxhaeun

sometimes parents don’t know what’s best. 

Nothing is always at its finest. Jinah is always trying to be a new and improved self, even if it meant telling the truth would hurt someone in the long run. This was exactly what her family made her do when it came to her time at LGC. The integration always began around the holiday season when “family” is the main theme along Christmas.... and its only November. Jinah had just finished training for the day and her 4 hour shirt at the convenient store when she got the call from her father. She expected it was him asking about plans of who was visiting who but it turned sour when he asked if she would like to come to the states for a few weeks.

“Dad, you know I can’t right now. I’m in a good spot with LGC and that is just too much time away from training.” Jinah was sighing into her phone knowing exactly where this conversation was going. It has been a hot topic among her parents the last couple months and get aggressive during this time. She can already see her father’s frown and the scrunch of his eyebrow even through the phone.

She thought they would have stayed supportive but it seems that even if she had not been removed from the company, passing the two-year mark is going too far. Jinah just allowed herself to listen with empty ears and nonchalant responses as her steps made it back to the dorms. She knows that with this response that he will go straight to her mother and most likely tomorrow her next phone call in the evening with be from her mother.
