Santa’s couch, I like the sound of that! Is it red? Because that’s one cute color (’chuckles) Anything can make this christmas special. I usually spend it with my little sister but since she debuted a year ago maybe she will spend it with her members? I’m might change my name to Grinch too… Where was I going with all this… Oh right, anything can make it special. Maybe a cute costume for peach? Make her look like a reindeer.

“Really?” The girl’s hazel eyes fixates on the displayed items in front of them, examining every inch in order to find the best one of the lot. “I really thought this one looks like a winner.” She gestures to the one placed on the farthest right, growing hungry just at the sight of it. It was that time of the year again, and the two friends had been instantly drawn in by the wondrous sights of festive cakes decorated to the utmost perfection. It was just too good to resist. “How about we buy one cake to give to our friends, and we keep one cake for ourselves. That way it’s the best of both worlds.” She adds, a somewhat excited tone colors the girl’s voice.

“Let’s keep the cooler one for ourselves, and pass out slices of the other one back at the building. Deal? I make no promises that I won’t eat all of it before we get there though…” She lets out another hearty laugh before tugging on the girl’s sleeve. “You still have to help me holiday shop too, we can’t let food lure us in like this.”

Humming in response; she took a look around the bakery, the unfamiliar place catching her attention with every little thing they had. Chlöe wasn’t really fond of sweet food so she haven’t set foot inside a bakery till this day. Focusing back on the said cake, she tilted her head quite unsure of the difference between that one and the one she told her before. “ Don’t they both have the same ingredient? We should get one with chocolate and no cinnamon unless you want to kill me before christmas. ”Joking with a smile on her face, she took a step closer to the display, trying to read the name of the cakes in there. “ That is actually a really good idea, we can get that one you wanted for us and get a simpler one for our friends since that way we make sure they all like it. ” She nodded her head, pointing at the cake Daiyu mentioned before.

“ So that one for us and how about the one behind it? It looks like a pretty common one. Or we could get them brownies, that I would totally eat and they will like it for sure. ” She suggested after seeing a tiny sign with the name of the brownies on it. “ Please don’t eat it all before they get some pieces too. And of course! I actually need some help to get something for my little sister. Too many options. ”

                            🎧 Some would say that it was unnatural for a male to be putting on make up. But to Bin, he was used to it. He was after all, an idol. Just a normal guy getting his make up ready for the showcase. Although, for certain people, Bin didn’t really like anything to touch his eyes or even get close to them. So naturally, he was a bit on the seat when the make up artist came to him with the pencil. He looked back at Chloe, nodding his head slowly and shut his eyes. “Okay sorry sorry. I’ll behave.”

It is definitely not a very good idea. But the warning is not enough for the cheeky trainee to test his limits. With a small clip he snatched from his band mate’s drawer, he used it to open the locked utility closet. “I think trespassing is never a good idea, noona”

The rational part of her brain kept telling her how much of a bad idea this was, but she still followed the younger boy. Her eyes fixed on the drawer he was trying to open. " Then why are we doing this? You just said this is not a good idea. What if he gets mad? What if we find something we shouldn’t? Like a Barbie Explorer video game. ”

June’s face had lit up the moment she was handed the gift. It had been even greater as it was entirely a surprise and she hadn’t expected the female to even think of her or any of the other members in such a way. ‘This is so cute.’ She exclaimed, tone a tad high-pitched out of pure excitement. ‘Did you make this yourself? It looks so professional.’ She explained as she took the item in her hands and examined it thoroughly. ‘I’ll use this every day, this really means a lot, thank you so much.’ She told the elder as she gave a few thankful bows in her direction, properly thanking her for the effort she’d put into remembering but also making such a personal thing for them.

Hello there! Now, that’s one uncomfortable seat, Dear Santa… Why don’t we sit on a sofa instead?

Playfully, her nose scrunched up at the mere mention of novels. ❛Forget the novels. They’re not my thing.❜ A chuckle passed through her lips after her confession. Novels would only be part of the list if she found them interesting and honestly, it was hard to find a book which would interest her. ❛But otherwise you’re speaking the truth.❜ And she could easily say it was one of those days when she would want to crawl in a hole and watch movies, forget the outside world for a few hours and then try to face the reality again. Upon hearing the question, she scrunched up her nose once more before taking a sip from her coffee which has been warming her hands. ❛Does it sound it’s going well if I tell you I’m spending nights in the studio and don’t know what sleep means? But there are new songs, though!❜ Unfortunately, the other wasn’t going to hear them; just like everyone else, she needed to wait for a month or so to hear her new songs.

A soft chuckle left her lips at the other’s words, she was one to read but it always took her a lot of tie to find a book that was interesting; which was also the reason why most of the times she ended up reading online stories of anonymous writers. “ Novels are quite nice if you find a nice one. But as they say, to each their own. Can’t force you to read if there are some really boring novels out there. ” Nodding her head twice, she showed the other that she agreed with her words. Winter was the best season to stay at home, with your pet, a big blanket. a pile of food and another pile of movies to watch non-stop until the season changes. After taking another sip from her mug, Chlöe took a look at the other’s face as if to trying to find any sign of lack of sleep. “ It doesn’t sound well at all. As long as you don’t forget what food and water means, it will be quite good. But you should rest some more. I’m sure you can’t make a lot of new songs if you are falling asleep on the panels and sheets. ” It was obvious that she was extremely curious about the said new songs, but she also understood that some idols; if not all, liked to keep their work for themselves until the release date.

It wasn’t that she disliked compliments it’s more like she didn’t know how to deal with them. What was she supposed to say in return? She understood the reasoning for there to be compliments and in fact she had no problem handing them out. “Do you ever get complimented for something and wonder if it’s true or not? like… constantly being called a genius for something I do still doesn’t make me feel like I accomplished something.” Lynx replied softly, a tone that was normal to hear from the vocalist. Genius. It was still a burdensome word, title, name to take on and she wasn’t sure if she liked it so much. Maybe the other was right, maybe she was worried about failing and not living up to expectations. Even if that were so, shouldn’t she just live up to her own expectations? “I think you can label anyone a genius. I… I don’t know? I just let it slip my mind that people see me as that from time to time. All I try to do is work hard. It’s nothing special, but I still do not believe I should hold that title.”

It wasn’t hard to get what the other was meaning to say, even if not everyone had a talent that was extremely outstanding. getting complimented by people that don’t really mean it was something quite common this day; mostly because there is only a few people that actually care for one’s work or that take the time to appreciate their effors. “ I may not be the best one at most of the things I do, but I totally get what you are saying. This days it’s easier to doubt what most people tell you than to believe their words. Even more if those words are a praise. ” Softly rubbing her temple, as she thought a little bit more what the other girl said, it must get very tiring for idols to be always complimented by everyone; just because that people want something from them. And deep inside it make her question how did they do to still believe whatever other person was telling them. “ You can thank them for their compliments but you can’t live by the expectations of what they want you to do next. Accomplishment is one of the best feelings in the word, you shouldn’t let them take that from you with their meaningless words. As long as you work hard, other people’s opinions should be left aside. At least that’s what I think. ”

“ No surprise, christmas is just around the corner and the weather is already getting ready for all that hot chocolate and sweet stuff. Maybe we should have brough another coat. ” Chlöe quickly zipped up her jacket, jumping slightly to gain some temperature from the movement; which didn’t help a lot. It even made her wonder why they left the building in the first place instead of staying there, in the warm and comfy room. “ I think we should hurry up and go get those breads before we freeze ourselves to death out here. Can’t wait to get that and some coffee. ”

Widening her eyes and mouth, she stared at the screen in disbelief, did she really just lose at her favourite game? Yes, and it was hard to let that thought sink in her brain. After a minute or two of blankness, she finally closed her mouth and looked at the side where the other was sitting. Deciding to just joke about the whole situation. “ That’s so unsanitary of you, my dear Trini. Can’t believe you would say such thing. I'm deeply and so utterly hurt. Might even need some fries to accept this defeat. ”
