4: hardest thing about training?

[ tian — 23 : 07 ] “the language barrier for sure. i wasn’t fluent in korean whatsoever when i came over, but i got a lot of help with it.”

[ eli — 23 : 08 ] “learning to dance. i was a lanky ass kid, i couldn’t dance for shit. i’m still not the best dancer but hey, at least i’m more coordinated and don’t look like i have cooked spaghetti noodles for limbs when i dance.”

[ ren — 23 : 09 ] “talking to people? believe it or not, i was a kinda shy kid. i made friends eventually but those first few months were sucky, man.”

5: what was their first thought when they debuted?

[ tian — 23 : 11 ] “i was just so excited. i just remember being like ‘woah... i did that. i did that!’ and i did do that!”

[ eli — 23 : 12 ] “i literally don’t remember because i was so stressed. it was probably positive. i was probably happy, but all i remember is that two week long tension headache. it was great.”

[ ren — 23 : 13 ] “i dunno, something like, ‘bro. on god?’ something like that.”

6: do they have more fanboys, fangirls, or a mix of both?

[ tian — 23 : 14 ] “i actually have no clue. from what i’ve heard the majority of our fans so far are female so... just by majority.”

[ eli — 23 : 15 ] “i like to think it’s pretty even, i’ll steal your girl AND your guy. consensually.”

[ ren — 23 : 16 ] “fangirls. i am a chick magnet. but don’t tell anyone else i said that, they’ll call me an incel.”

4: are there any romantic gestures your oc hates?

[ eli — 23 : 15 ] “giving someone flowers. they just die in a few days anyway, what’s the point? i’d personally rather be given something actually worthwhile? like, chocolate or something.”

28: what is something unconventional that your oc thinks is romantic?

[ eli — 23 : 17 ] “do you guys ever like- convince your boyfriend to go on a walk with you in the literal middle of the night- is that just a me thing? fuckin’ shit up down the block at 2am probably isn’t the most romantic thing but i like it.”

🧡 who is your oc’s favourite person? why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favourite after all!).

[ eli — 16 : 36 ] “...do i really need to say this? i thought i made it pretty obvious. i’ll give you a hint, his name starts with m and ends with injae.”

🍋 does your oc act petty and jealous easily? what sort of things make them feel like this and do they experience guilt for getting so worked up? how do they deal with these emotions when they get them? if your oc doesn’t feel like this often, why not?

[ eli — 16 : 38 ] “i mean, doesn’t everyone? i’m not like crazy about it though, i, like, if i’m dating someone i let them talk to other people. it’s just like, y’know, little things sometimes. i just try ignoring it because it’s just, whatever, what can i do about it.”

✨ have each partner describe their favourite thing about the other ! is it a physical feature or a mannerism , or something else ?

[ mj + eli — 13 : 02 ] “no this is easy!” minjae exclaimed, “you’re big and warm and comfy, perfect for cuddling. alright now what do you like about me?”

“i would’ve assumed you’d know the answer to that,” elliot said, “literally everything? but if i had to choose one... your dimples.”

“my dimples?”

“yep,” elliot nodded, “your dimples. they’re cute!”

⚡️ how do they prefer to show affection ? are they more touchy or do they show it in ways other than contact ?

[ mj + eli — 13 : 05 ] “he’s super touchy,” elliot explained, “he does this thing where he’s like- okay here, let me show you.”

he stood up, bringing minjae with him, and stood behind him, “so he like- he comes up behind me and puts his head on my shoulder- like this- and he wraps his arms around me, with his hands right here-“ he wrapped his arms around minjae, and out his hands down flat on minjae’s stomach.

“it feels weird when you do it!” minjae laughed, trying to get elliot off of him.

[ tian + eli — 19 : 59 ] “okay, not gonna lie,” tian started, “i’ve been watching that show religiously. there’s only a few episodes, but god, it feels like keeping up with the kardashians or something. less plastic- hopefully, but you know what i mean.”

“i hate that you’re not wrong,” elliot replied, “who are you rooting for?”

“who are you rooting for?”

“i asked you first, but honestly? as long as celine makes it into the final lineup i’m fine. it’s hard to choose a favourite but man,” elliot said, sighing.

“i like bianca,” tian said, “she’s a constellation, gotta respect that.”

“god, who isn’t a constellation though?” elliot replied, “the reason jyp’s lights are still on? yeah. but anyways, i really like petra and zara too, like, their covers? from that one episode, they were like- real good. also zara is american, so- ‘sup?” he threw up a peace sign, and tian groaned.

“alicia leaving actually made me really sad, i could feel the tension between her and hope, and like- i love hope, but i also love her too,” tian continued, “kinda ironic that they ended up as the one with the most votes and the one with the least votes.”

“which cover was your favourite?” elliot asked.

“oh god, i’m tempted to say bianca because like- c’mon, but ALSO, alicia’s was real good, which makes me even more sad. god, only three of them are debuting! isn’t that gonna suck?”

“place your bets right now, i say hope will be in the lineup,” elliot replied instantly, and tian hesitantly nodded in agreement.

“oh, probably,” he responded, “i have a feeling isla will make it to the end too, but that’s just me.”

🌽 which one is more affectionate ? do they each have a different way of what they consider to be affection ?

[ mj + eli — 12 : 36 ] “i mean, i’m still kinda in that ‘aah! what do i do!’ phase but- i mean we still both- kinda- i don’t know-“ he looked to elliot to finish his sentence.

“okay, we’re both pretty affectionate, i’d say?” he looked back to minjae, who nodded, and he continued, “i’m more like, c’mere lemme kiss you, and he’s just like, he’ll cling on me like a koala.”

“a koala?” minjae laughed.

“yeah? what other animal like- hangs off of stuff like that- i don’t know!”

💫 which one secretly looks at the other like they put the stars in the sky when the other isn’t looking ?

[ mj + eli — 12 : 40 ] “it’s yeollie,” minjae replied confidently, “i catch him staring at me out of the corner of my eye all the time.”

“come onnn,” elliot whined, “it’s not like i don’t catch you doing that all the time either.”

“it’s ‘cause you’re so cute,” minjae said, light blush dusting his cheeks.

[ peach + eli — 16 : 39 ] “oh gosh let me think...” baekhan stared at the ground, thinking for an almost uncomfortably long time.

“oh come on,” elliot groaned, “there’s gotta be something.”

“yeah, yeah, gimme a second,” baekhan continued staring at the floor. it wasn’t long before elliot gave up and spoke before him.

“i guess i’ll start then. i like my hair. i also like how i’m really upfront- like- if i have a problem with you i’ll just fuckin’ tell you,” elliot said, then looked to baekhan expectantly.

baekhan looked up and finally spoke, “uh... i like my nose sometimes.” to which elliot clapped triumphantly.

“good enough!”
