#jueunbe

thankfully, her partner, jueun, has been incredibly easy to work with. she was very receptive to nayoung suggesting easy, and kept a good attitude throughout all of their practice sessions. nayoung must, unfortunately, admit that their trainers might've been onto something when pairing them together. she didn't feel the need to be as harsh as usual in the past weeks. they worked together well.

part of nayoung is a little concerned, though. even though jueun agreed to performing easy, she thinks the song naturally suits nayoung better than jueun, though jueun has done an excellent job of conforming to the concept. ever since the ceo of delta entertainment called her a poor leader for making herself the center of attention on the first season of next gen, she keeps it in mind. is going with a concept nayoung suits opposed to agreeing to jueun's ideas just another example of her inability to compromise and consider others? she hopes not.

she hopes the sr media staff see it more as a strength of jueun's to fit any concept. jueun is pretty and naturally cute to some degree, but also elegant, and nayoung knows she hasn't had the chance to show off this side of herself as much. nayoung hasn't thought for a moment that jueun seems uncomfortable or unsuited to a more sensual concept.

nayoung's main purpose in suggesting easy was it being more convenient to adapt its choreography to a smaller group, and its lack of belting vocals. while she and jueun can both sing, she knows they won't be the main vocals of their future girl group if girls like yuji and eunae debut with them. she knows her strength is in dancing, and more recently, rapping, but also in her ability to do anything asked of her. jueun is similar, and easy is a well-rounded song.

she lets jueun take charge of their styling for the most part, because she can't argue with the girl's eye for aesthetics. she shares her opinions, of course, as nayoung always does, but by the time they've decided on outfits and makeup nayoung is satisfied. they look good. they'll perform well. they'll prove they deserve their spots in sr media's new girl group.

the performance goes smoothly. they sing, dance, and rap exactly as practiced. nayoung is sure she could find moments to nitpick if given the chance to review the performance, but in the moment, that's not what she focuses on at all. she captures the song's energy, executes the choreography to a t, and never forgets about the audience they're performing for.
