Tzuyu had to stop herself from leaning into the hand that caressed her cheek. A wide smile appears on her face and she nods. “Of course, I want to!” she says confidently. “Everything will be okay as long as you’re with me.” It’s a bit corny to say but she feels that way. She also says it because she feels as though she doesn’t call Sakura anything near as cute as her best friend’s nickname for her. Sakura calls her a princess and it doesn’t cease to make her blush. She loves the nickname and she wonders if ‘peaches’ is an insult in comparison. 

It came from the heart, the nickname. Tzuyu couldn’t help but compare Sakura to a peach, sweet and cute and pastel, if you will. It didn’t make that much sense if she thought about it too much. If Tzuyu was a princess, should she then call Sakura her queen? The thought made her laugh out loud. “Sorry, I was thinking of something.” She said, explaining herself. Tzuyu pulls them towards the line at the rollercoaster. The decision had been made. She got more and more nervous as she heard the screams and the sound of the wheels on the tracks moving. 

The line wasn’t incredibly long and before she knew it, they were taking their seats. There was no way she’d sit anywhere but next to Sakura. So, she chose her seat and saved the one next to her for her best friend. Her hand instinctively searched for Sakura’s. “I’m excited” she said

sakura’s naturally an affectionate person but there’s a breaking point where she has to halt herself and realise that people have boundaries. she wonders at the back of her head if stopping is the right thing to do but it seems that tzuyu doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable with her gestures at all, “i have a question.. tzuyu-chan.. are you always happy around me?” she takes slight pauses in her sentence, switching over from her upbeat tone to a more serious one. she’s not one all up for seriousness but it helps to hear some reassurance from the other girl. “that’s all that matters to me. just being with you!” she grins, humming gently as she brings tzuyu into a brief hug before pulling away.

“tell me, what were you thinking of? is there anything on your mind?” her curiosity is piqued, she asks the questions without hesitation. truth to be told, tzuyu’s always in her head. there isn’t a day that she doesn’t think about the girl, even when she’s at school but.. she’s merely a best friend, right? sakura doesn’t know when it comes to these kinds of things. she’s naive, learning what she doesn’t like and what she does like.

the life of the trainee takes a while to adjust in general since minhyuk is reminded that he also took some time to adjust and honestly, by this point, just kind of trolls around and does what he wants. maybe it’s not really in his best interests but he doesn’t really care all that much since he prefers to spend as little time as he has to in the company. he supposes that for new kids it is beyond exciting and stuff and that it’s a great opportunity, but for him, the company no longer presents an actual challenge. 

he nods and grins at her. her bubbly personality is very very catchy and he kind of really likes it. it’s partially delightful for him. “well, that’s good though in that case, if you have already that good memory!” he grins shaking her hand as well.  “but you are a cute human!” he laughs a bit, and grinning widely at her. he flops on the ground, winking playfully at her. “so, what are your skills like?” he asked, looking at her. 

there are strict rules when it comes to being a trainee, restrictions that don’t entirely make sense to her but her questions shouldn’t lead to doubt because it’ll hinder her self-confidence more when it comes to her musical talents. sakura is free-flowy but hasn’t learned to accept her capabilities. it makes her think, even though she’s won the mgas, that wasn’t just it? it’s only been a couple of months but she’s already learned so much.

Her naturally soft striking features held a cold expression. For the life of her, Naeun truly never understood why people bullied others, especially when it was obviously unprovoked. As far as she could tell, Sakura had done nothing to these girls and yet the way they treated her friend was absolutely disgusting. 

Leaning towards her friend, Naeun wanted Sakura to stand proud beside her. But she also knew just how uncomfortable this whole situation can for those who were actually getting bullied. She was so torn of being angry with those trainees, that she could practically feel herself shaking and in the verge of tears herself. But she had to be strong for Sakura right now.

She continues to glare at the girls, waiting for them to make any move against Sakura and herself. It didn’t take long for them to go, but she made sure they thought that Sakura and her were staying there just to prove a point. “Okay…” once the girls were out of their view, “we can go now.

I’m so sorry I didn’t get there earlier. The audacity of them.” Offering her friend a comforting hug, while trying to balance a try with her hands, “Are you okay?”

even with a big heart, there are circumstances that she wishes she could control but sakura can come to the terms that changing people is the impossible. they are responsible for what they do in their lives but from the bottom of her heart, she wanted what was best for everyone.

she is glad to have a friend that is willing to protect her from being prey among the wilderness in the building. sakura has no intentions of getting into trouble or drama at all but simply making friends. her eyes look over at naeun and confides in the solace that her friend is giving her, warmth and care. “thank you so much for being here for me, i appreciate it..” her voice takes a pause as she takes a deep breath, doing her best to get herself together from the devastating experience that she had just witnessed.

“i just wonder why people are like that..” she furrows her brows worriedly, the look of hurt evident on her features. “is it okay if i eat together with you, naeun-chan? if it’s not too much to ask..” she does not want to bother the girl but also wants to spend time with her friend.

Minhyuk had heard of another rapper joining the company after the fiftth season of the mgas, and minhyuk had immediately felt disgust in his stomach. Usually when the mga kids got recruited, they were first in line for anything cool  and as such, minhyuk had been very vary of any rappers because if they were guys, his chance at debut was gone. Minhyuk therefore had avoided the new rapper for a while, until recently. He caught a glimpse of her in a practice room, seemingly practicing something and he stepped inside. 

“sorry for intruding, my dear, but i heard you practicing. let me give you a tip: if you train your memory first, your rap skills will follow.” he said,  grinning widely. he looked closer at the girl and laughed. “Ah, i had no idea why i spent so long avoiding you. You’re just a cute human,” he said, laughing a bit. The rapper extended a hand. “I’m Minhyuk, kt’s lte rapper.” he said, grinning widely at the girl. 

the life of as a trainee is still an overwhelming case for the young australian gal in spite of it becoming more than a month for the duration in the kt building. not that she had a hard time making friends but a lot of training concepts are entirely new to her. she had not sang, dance, or even attended this many workshops until she came here. it is an exciting experience however, being able to have such an opportunity that people dream of. in truth, sakua has always been more than grateful for the things that she has.

The cue got shorter and shorter, until both girls had made it through the gates and were allowed to enter the fun of everland. Tzuyu takes Sakura’s hand and leads her towards the ride she wanted to go on, using the map as reference. She looks at the paper band that was put around her wrist as an access ticket and smiles. This would be the best day ever with her best friend. She’d already thanked her plenty of times but the happiness of being out and about with her didn’t wear off just yet.

“Are you sure you want to get on?” she pulls the other along with her to the front of the line at the rollercoaster, she definitely wanted to do it thought it would be great if Sakura was with her. Spending the day with Sakura wasn’t out of the norm, whether it was volunteering at the aquarium or having sleep overs, but it still felt like the air was lighter that day. Tzuyu was a year older but she didn’t feel any different.  When she looked at Sakura, though, something did feel different. She wasn’t sure what it was or why all of a sudden today felt more special than usual, but she couldn’t deny that it did.

Something like the adrenaline of the rollercoaster she was about to get on.

the muscles on her face hurts from pressing on with the redundant smiles, sakura can't seem to wear it off as she’s with someone that means everything to her. her best friend, a lifeblood to who she is. she grips the other girl’s hand tightly, squeezing it as they’re way past the opening. taking pictures for memories is important as she doesn’t want to forget a single moment. “we should take pictures of our bracelets and all of our adventures! is that okay with you, tzuyu-chan?” her eyes look over at tzuyu before pulling her phone out of her pocket to take a quick picture of their wrists against each other’s, showing off the tickets.

eyebrows raise in concern but sakura isn't one to be afraid of tall heights beyond her petite size, she loves the adrenaline that flows through her veins as she's on it and the thrill of it all. needless to say, roller coasters are stimulating. “yes! are you okay with getting on it? i want to make sure if that’s okay with you first.” she’d like to check up on her friends first before making any final decisions. “there’s no peer pressure at all. i wouldn’t want you to feel that way, tzuyu-chan.” she exchanges a glance, caressing tzuyu’s cheek with her hand. is this too much? she can’t help but contemplate but she conveys her reassurance by touches of affections.
