━ ♡ ; ❛  hm ?  ❜  the reply comes as though she isn’t aware that words had left her mouth to begin with ; maybe a thought had been voiced rather than being kept inside her head, right now, sana couldn’t tell -- nor remember, so she waves her hand at the older female to dismiss the situation ; they had more important things to focus on.  she can tell irene still ponders, the words that eventually come from her causing sana to nod her head, a slight smile spreading all over her lips.  ❛  i guess so !!  they do like me, don’t they -- wait, where’s ahreum ?  ❜  ahreum, one part of the two children they are supposed to care for, to entertain the masses with funny conversations, the kids reactions to their failures & general confusion on the side of the idols dropped off in such situation. ❛  ah, we didn’t lose her did we ?  it hasn’t even been two hours, unnie .. are we already failing as team ?  ❜,  she whines, acting like the child until she gets back to her senses, remembering the more important task. 

“That’s…true.” Joohyun would have to agree. The world was filled with people, and she did not normally believe that people were one-sided. All of us, good or bad, has a certain point where we show qualities opposite from what we are known for. And that’s exactly what Joohyun believed: evil had good, and good had evil. “We are…human. We commit things we thought we are not capable of sometimes.” She shrugged. She thought of it as some sort of human nature; something that they couldn’t control. “All we have to do is to be weary, right? Though it’s not easy…why are you suddenly bringing this up?” She finally asks her. It was a very serious topic, and it was not a normal conversation starter. Well, the members of Blackpink and Red Velvet were at the starting point of friendship, anyway. Knowing Jennie in this sort of way was going to be interesting, she thought.

Jennie hummed softly in agreement, chin resting atop of hands as elbows dug into the table. With eyes fixated upon her older acquaintance, it was not long before she was soon presented with the question, propping herself up and swiftly straightening her posture. “Aah, well... I find it quite interesting. There’s never a right answer for these type of things, eonnie. I’m curious to know other’s thoughts,” shyly, a mellow chuckle sounded, “I understand if you think I’m-- odd... for bring it up. I just thought since you’re my eonnie and senior, you may have a better grasp of the concept than me.” Pupils fell to the table momentarily whilst lips pursed gently together, quietly sheepish that she had sprung the conversation to such a gripping subject.

“Aigo…” Recently, the leader of Red Velvet has discovered how fun drinking could be. Sure, it had an unpleasant after taste, but it was a delight to have when accompanied with a great friend and an interesting talk. “Is there something you’re going through, though? It’s best to let it out while you’re sober, or so they taught me. Then, you can laugh it out over drinks.” She still wasn’t used to the concept of asking someone else to drink with her, especially since other people have been doing the convincing for her all these years. “Do you…want to drink?”

It was easy to see that albeit the success story of her life as a soloist, Jieun does have some pains along the way. However, she was the type to keep it all in, rarely admitting what is happening to her or what she is feeling, and resorting to her diary (or some of her songs) as her own confidant. A lilting chuckle was her form of reply with the other’s statement. Shortly after, there was a spark of mischief glinted on her eyes. She wanted to say yes. She was never the type to back down from having drinks with people she knows. Jieun was feeling playful nonetheless and planned to tease the older female for a bit.

          “Are you even allowed to drink, missy?!” She chortled, wagging a finger before the lady with the youthful charm.

“I think that has to be a record sneeze sequence.Are you okay?”

Concert preparations were what she expected it to be: hectic, draining, and heaps load of excitement that drives one person into overloaded energy until it’s all drained down again, much like the effects of caffeine. As a result, right after meeting Jisoo and hopping onto the public transportation with her, she’s resting on the other female’s shoulder, falling asleep as soon as she closes her eyes. She didn’t mean to, yet the overwhelming exhaustion kicked in and she had no control over her body’s will to shut out the world for a moment. It was only thirty minutes later when her eyes fluttered open, the girl beside her giggling suddenly as if something funny happened…well, maybe something funny did happen, at least according to Jisoo’s words.

And it’s then when her eyes shoot wide, the realization that she has sleep-talked hitting her. “W-what did I say…” She covers her mouth, eyes still wide and horrified. She did not normally do that, at least.

    Sleeping during any type transport was always a big no-no for her. When she was younger her reasoning was the ride being too rocky for her to relax, but after years of driving to and from the dorm or practice room she had grown used to car rides- hence she only dozed of a couple of times whilst travelling between schedules. However she was still not used to buses and trains. In addition to the ride being too active, she couldn’t risk the chances of others recognizing the two idols and so she was wide awake, gazing out the window as Joohyun efficiently used the time to relax.

Her daydream was interrupt by the other’s small stirs. She turned to glance at her and before she could zone out again the following words grabbed her attention. 

“You won’t make it out alive.” 

It was one of those days where the summer heat became intolerable. Using a random transparent fan with another member’s face on it to cool herself, she did not dare utter even a single word of complaint. This was a work ethic she considered to be most important: never complain no matter the circumstance, at least while you are at the work place. Her hair felt slightly frizzy now and she swore her shirt would have started clinging onto her skin due to the sweat, yet she paid no mind and waited till her cue was up.

Ever patient Joohyun sat still, at least until she feels something cold running down the back of her neck. She lets out a gasp followed by a surprised squeal, jolting from her seat to get away from the suspect as possible. Not really knowing what to expect, she turns her head around. “W-what was that?!”

     Sophie was a prankster. Despite being the oldest in herr group she was the most playful member, always joking around and teasing the other idols. Poor Irene had the honor to be close to the older female when she got the idea of using an ice cube to help someone else cool down during this unbearable heat going on in the studio. She didn’t think of the consequences of her doing as she fished the cube from her glass of water to slide it down the other’s neck, making the older singer yelp in surprise.
