season’s greetings was something that duri had gotten used to shooting around october every year. they always tended to have interesting concepts, that sometimes didn’t quite seem to really go along with the concepts that titan does as a whole. but, it felt like he was a librarian in some sense, which he kind of liked. though, he can’t say he was really feeling the outfit that he was in, the grey suit that he was dressed up in. it seemingly felt like his pants were a bit short - then again, what exactly does duri actually know? so, he wasn’t going to actually worry about it, even if it felt kind of odd. 

nonetheless, duri moves around the set, as the individual shoots for the members had begun. it would be a bit until he was his turn to go, so he did what he tends to do best - wander and talk to the staff that weren’t apart of doing photoshoot stuff. he was simply doing his best to ignore how tired he was, due to all the stuff that he had going on with his own career, as well as all the stuff that titan were doing at the year end and preparing for. but, still, the certain smile was on his face. 

practices have really been gearing up yet again for titan, considering the fact that they were just about to comeback with chase in october. practices over the last few months had seemingly been a daily occurrence in one way or another. but, duri couldn’t complain because at least titan is active as a senior group, right? it was hard to say that the older groups that came before titan in bc entertainment had the same fate that titan has had, being able to go on for a rather long while up to this point. he always wondered if titan was going to end up doing that second contract extension in a few years or not. 

it had gone over well, duri already remembering what exactly to do choreography wise, and he always got the singing right off the bat - so that was never anything to worry about. though, it did feel a bit odd to be in a practice room without cameras constantly recording the practice. but, it was also nice in a way, since he felt like he had the ability to mess up slightly and fix himself more accordingly. but, it was nice to finish early. 

❝ unexpected upheaval its time to brace yourself for a change. your world may feel though as it is literally falling apart and you didnt see it coming. however, you will look back and feel grateful that things have changed. @fmdhaesol august 27th, off camera

it’s about six in the morning when minhee goes for a walk. not his favorite activities but its the best way to get his day started. jet lag was still pretty prominent in his day to day live, despite having been in japan the past few weeks. not that far, but still far enough to get him to wake up earlier than needed. he goes for a different type of walk today, iced coffee in hand, slippers dragged against the grass, making a straight line to the lake.

even though yuri was used to performing and being on stage, that didn’t mean that she particularly wanted to be on stage or wanted to perform. when she had been told about crowned and lily’s participation on the show, she had been dreading having to deal with that even though she would be doing it with her members - who typically tended to make idol related schedules bearable for her. with as much time as yuri was being forced to spend on the set of crowned, she had not seen as much of her friends as she thought she would have. of course she knew that they were all busy with their own groups, rehearsing and preparing for the live stages and performances, but she thought that she would have run into someone for sure by that point. 

having everybody gather around even when they didn’t have to perform with their unit sounded cruel, but she understood the why. everything about this show screamed editing and reactions, and the participating members were probably too nervous to provide enough reactions for the show. hence, the need for every participant to show up instead. nevertheless, hyojung found that two full days of filming like this were, indeed, a lot. piled on top of her drama schedule and the fact that selene had just wrapped up promotions as well. she’s surprised she’s still walking on both feet at this point. 

she had wandered out in search of some peace and quiet when she stumbles upon a friendly face. looking around to see if there were any cameras, she silently approached the titan member. there were quite a lot of similarities between her and haesol: their acting trajectories, the fact that they both debuted so young. it was nice to be able to be around someone who understood her. 

“hey. looks like we have a long day in front of us.” 

duri was coming off round one feeling rather good, truth be told. he had spent a long while before round one feeling nervous that he was going to ultimately end up messing up in the stage because of things out of his control. but, he had managed to really pull it off without a hitch, as did the rest of the members of titan. truth be told, duri also couldn’t believe that he managed to become the show’s first mvp in round one. though, his mind was very much stuck on what that rather large key he got could mean. but, it was probably put that past him right now until it was something that would be later revealed. but, of course, it was probably that would come up.

not to mention, it was a bit scary that he probably had to continue to prove himself with the fact that duri managed to become the very first mvp - so, he almost felt like all eyes were going to watching him now, especially with titan gaining first place in the same round as well. it was a rather interesting thing, truth be told - but, he was going to try his hardest to really keep it up for the upcoming rounds. he was someone who shines after all, right?
