well, rina was hot. stage lights could do a number on you and didn’t help when you running around the stage. yeah, candy were dancing but it felt more like running by the time the end of the song came. she was one of the first ones off the stage and into the dressing room. the first thing she focused on was finding her water bottle. 

it wasn’t there. 

and soon enough she had a new problem. rina was lost. it wasn’t normal for her to travel around the halls and she could find the bathroom but forr some reason, the vending machine was no where near it. but maybe there was some hope. she spotted a fellow idol and rina ran to catch up with them. “hey, do you know where the vending machine is? or if they even have one.” she didn’t think about that fact. “and if you know they don’t, do you know where i can find a bottle of water?”

out of the three volunteering days they had set up for the next few months the only one aidynn planned on attending was the one at the animal shelter. honestly he wasn’t the biggest fan of old people, and there was more than one occasion where they weren’t a fan of him either from when he was younger, and visiting the orphanage really wasn’t something he felt like attending. though he wouldn’t admit that it maybe hit a little too close to home for his comfort. though, animals were right up his alley.

She’s not going to kid herself, her schedule as of late is exhausting, but thankfully, she’s slightly used to it based on the wild hours she used to pour into her ( failed ) figure skating career. Back then, Michelle was always awake before sunrise, and even as a child, she would inhale mugfuls of coffee in order to provide a much-needed boost before heading towards the rink—her mom often claiming that her daughter was a refined “young woman” even in elementary school, and in a sense, that’s pretty accurate. She was somewhat forced to grow up as quickly as possible. If she didn’t, she would’ve been crushed under the pressure her coaches laid on her shoulders. The weight she had to sustain wasn’t at all what someone so juvenile should’ve been carrying around, but since forever, she’s always been told to push herself—to work hard in achieving a better life; not only for herself, but for her mother, as well. Even though her mom may not fully understand—or even support—her daughter’s decision to pursue a career in entertainment, she hopes that she can make all their dreams come true and be the sole provider for them in the unpredictable future, but until then, Michelle’s working as diligently as possible to make sure that she’s not screwing anyone over by rushing into such unfamiliar waters.

Much like her past, she still rises early in the morning, and like usual, Michelle always starts her day with a delectably sweet pick-me-up, and today, she decided to try a new café she found on the internet—one that’s not too far way from BC Entertainment’s headquarters, thank God. The last time she wanted to try out a new place, she didn’t realize it was an arduous journey through the city to get there, and sadly, she was scolded for arriving extremely late to her training that day. Here’s hoping she won’t end up in the same boat later on... especially since she plans on window-shopping and wandering about for a few hours before she heads back.

Approaching the order counter, she offers a smile to the cashier; eyes peering over the menu for a few seconds until she finds what she wants. “I’ll take an iced Earl Grey honey latte, and a slice of that totally delicious looking cake...” A delicate laugh reverberates from between her lips—ever charming and forever kind to service staff. When she pays up, she turns and looks for a table to take a seat at—finding an empty one in the corner. Though, on her short jaunt over, Michelle thinks she sees someone that she recognizes from the industry, and in order to network and get to know more people, she decides to approach them because... why not?

“Forgive me if this sounds strange, but I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere...” She begins, her tone donning a soft sultriness to it without intention. “Are you an idol or a trainee? I don’t know if I’m supposed to say anything, but I train at BC. My name’s Michelle, or Rorin. Whichever you like best.” It’s then whens she offers her hand for a shake, hoping that her small intrusion didn’t catch them too off-guard.

she was about two drinks in when she realized a fellow idol was sitting next to her. “good...” kami looked at her phone, it just hit one am. “morning i guess, i have a question.” she wasn’t normally this chatty, not without reason but the drinks made a little loose. “if you’ve heard our single, even the music sounds a little sad right? normally, it’s sad lyrics with a bright song but the entire vibe of it...it’s just tinged with sadness.” 

"my manager told me i had to do it but to put it simply, it's not something i want to do at all." even if it wasn't that obvious already. another sigh left her mouth and she turned to her companion. "how are you feeling about it?"

“why..why did i suggest a run.” the words came out once she finally caught her breath. “why did you agree?” though, she wasn’t complaining that much. just, why did anyone agree to her crazy ideas? “i think that was enough to cover my runs for the next month, how about a late -but healthy- breakfast on me.” food, food is what would comfort her right now. 

      on his off days and the days he almost needed to shape his dancing up slightly, he would find himself within the arcade. now, that’s probably an odd place to ‘shape up your dancing.’ but, to be fair, the arcade has dance dance revolution and he promises that it really does work to play the game! at least, for himself. so, he had showed up for dance dance revolution this time and not actually for the plushies. okay, maybe at some point he might end up trying to win a plushie, but he really should probably avoid those machines because he doesn’t need anymore. 

the direct of the producers has mentioned how they wanted her to look a little icy—whatever that really means—and how keeping her black hair would help. when she initially heard that she’d be playing the role of an idol, she thought it’d be asked the exact opposite. it’s not like actors dyed their hairs anything but the typical black and blue. it was the perfect opportunity for a drama to have someone with a bolder hair color, but it seems that the director already had things in mind. either way, she can only wait for element’s next comeback to give her hair color a change. 

“how about you? are you doing something wild with your hair today?”
