Impressed - A scene from my muse's past in which they tried to impress someone, successful or not
"The first moment that comes to mind brings me back to 20....18? The KBS Music Festival that year. Everybody had there own section of time to do a performance and SM wanted to highlight all of us. or at least try to. It was NCT, Red Velvet, Exo, and Hyoyeon sunbaenim's. It was a lot of moving parts but long story short myself, Juno and Aurora were involved in a couple of sections."
"First we did Punk Right Now with Hyoyeon and Red Velvet unnies. Then we were with Dream for Go/Boss and lastly we performed with Exo sunbae for their song Monster. Now let me preface this by saying I never got to meet to Exo members before this. I never met them during my training so they don't know me and at the time I didn't know them."
"Weeks before the show, a bunch of the nct members got together to learn/refresh our memories on the Monster's choreo. It was more like refreshing because who doesn't know that dance. When we gathered together to practice with Exo, I'm not gonna name any names, but there were a couple of confused faces."
"I can't confirm who said this cause my back was turned. But I heard someone say something along the lines of 'Are we sure they can keep up?"
"Now, I have a bit of a reputation when it comes to proving people wrong. I wasn't nicknamed The Shark during training for nothing. I would advise anyone who wants to challenge me to not to. Cause you'll never win. Cause I won't let you."
"I got so heated extremely quickly. In my head I was like, Who TF are you to assume I can't keep up. To quote the Michael Joradn meme, 'and I took that personally'. I out danced all those boys in every run though. I was mean mugging everyone in the mirror. I think I heard Johnny-oppa telling one of the exo members 'there's a reason Migyeong was called the shark."
"I don't take kindly to be underestimated. By anyone. There aren't many idols in my position. In fact, there's only four, Me, Aurora, Juno and Hannah. And I think that fact alone should inform everyone of how good I am at my job. You worry about you and yourself and I'll worry about me and mine. But I can guarantee I won't need to worry that much." ~ Moxy
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"I think it was during We Young era that this happened. Fans have always wanted to know why there are some scars on my left knee."
"For those who don't know I'm a pretty good skateboarder. One day, the dreamies and I were in the dance studio and Chenle saw some trick video. He asked if I could do any of them. I chose to be a cocky idiot cause I said yes."
"Some of the tricks I already knew how to do but there was one I had yet to try. The 360 ollie heelflip. Essentially you flick the board so it spins in a full circle. During this, you turn your body in a 180 to land on the board then complete the rest of the circle to face forward again. Not the most complicated but it takes a moment to get in down. Even then, sometimes you can miss the board or it could spin too much."
"So I bet Chenle what would be 50 dollars in the America that I could do all those tricks. We met up after practice at the skate park I frequent and I was nailing everything. Time came for me to do the heelflip. I had the blueprint laid out in head on what to do. I went for it, everything was going well........until I over rotated and completely whiffed the landing. I fell on my knee and scrapped it."
"Thing is, I'm not mad about the scrape. You know those are battle scars that I'm proud of."
"I'm mad I had to pay Chenle 50 bucks." ~ Aurora

The notion of NCT protecting Aurora is laughableÂ
Because she can and will protect herself(see the numerous times she has or has wanted to punch someone)
But there are couple times where NCT have stepped in or backed Aurora up and hereâs more than a couple
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
During the The Dream Show 2 Tour in North America, Aurora realized how many fans loved her.
She also saw the lengths antis will go to make an idol they hate understand why they donât like them
A couple fans were rude to the members over the course of the tour so far but eventually they shrugged them off. Remembering there's thousands of other fans that love them in this one fans place
Aurora had a group of Antis since debut. Somehow the scrounged up the money to fly to Dallas and buy floor seats
Haechan was the first to notice them. They kept talking over Aurora first mnet of the night
Later, Aurora made eye contact with one of them. They group of antiâs let their backs face her while Aurora was on their side. She straight up ignored them but the boys didnât think that was enough
Even member found someway to hang off Aurora the whole concert
Jisung and Aurora were extra flirty during Quiet Down
Renjun holding hands with her during Sorry, Heart
Both Chenle and Aurora being super chaotic during Love Again
Jeno attaching to her leg during Candy, knowing she can't drag him by herself
Jaemin kept trying to tickle her during Chewing Gum
Even Haechan left his annoy Jisung agenda during Puzzle Piece to pull Aurora into his lap so they could share a mic
The antiâs after a while just quietly left the show. Score for the Dreamies!!
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
During training, Aurora was friends with a very select few. The rest she ignored.Â
Some of the female trainees were turned off by her standoffish nature but at first they didnât mind
Until Aurora started training with baby shinki
Aurora was chosen over trainees that had been in SM for years. And they did not like that. Some of the slighted girls gathered together in a room to bad mouth Aurora for hours.
Aurora never found out about it because this group never said anything to her face. Anything that was said was kept in the room for their ears only.
This went on for months, theyâd act cool in front of Auroraâs face then dog her out behind her back.
Until the boys found out.
One of the girls implied that Aurora was possibly sleeping with them (First of all - Ew. Second of all - get your head out of the clouds.) Mark went OFF
The girlsâ were in tears by the time Mark was finished. He almost kept going but Aurora walked in.Â
(Iâm not gonna say more because I am in the process of writing this whole debacle)
Aurora didnât want to tell anyone about what happened. She felt Markâs rant was enough. But Moxy and Juno disagreed.Â
When those same girls complained to their teachers about their dorm roomâs being trashed. Nobody could prove it was them
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
This one doesnât happen often. For the longest time Auroraâs wardrobe didnât get to the young idol without being approved by Ms. Chae, Moxy or Mark if the first two werenât available.Â
As she grew up, Aurora felt better about her stage outfits. More comfortable defending her own comfort zone without the help of her mom or leader.
But sometimes it couldnât be helped.Â
Once, during a Breakout!Era fansign, the stylists gave Aurora a skirt without some slip shorts underneath. At first, she felt fine. Great even. Then the leering eyes started getting to her whether they were real or imaginary.Â
The skirt was just a bit out of her comfort zone. A place she thought she was ready to leave
Moxy noticed the maknae squirming around but she couldnât really do much since they were outside and none of the stylists brought clothes to change into. Â
So Moxy stood behind Aurora for the ENTIRE fansign to protect her
None of the fans in attendance really understood what was going on with them but they were too busy giving heart eyes to the two members
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Some fans take things too far. Especially in this case.Â
The Dreamies were at a fansign for Boom. Everything was going smoothly until the last couple of fans waiting in line. Among the girls was one guy. Quietly he went down the line of members until her reached Aurora at the end.Â
In casual fashion, Aurora was her usual self until her face dropped.
âYou know, you didnât have to join a boy group to find a guy. Plenty of guys are out there, including me.âÂ
Aurora froze in place, pen still signing her signature onto her picture. She put the pen down then faced the âFanâ
âIf I wanted to find a guy and then I found you, my mom would disown me because I wouldâve lowered my standards. Look at you. You prepared that for how long and now you have to sit embarrassed knowing that the idol you adore would never want you.âÂ
The âFanâ left with his tail tucked between his legsÂ
What Aurora didnât notice was the six twin glares the boy was getting. Those eyes were enough to get him moving but Auroraâs just as sharp eyes kept him in place
Like brother, like sister
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Aurora has a wide demographic of fans. By far, the wildest are the males. Male fans love her standoff-ish natureÂ
But a chosen few take it too far.Â
During a music show recording for Welcome To The Jungle, a âfanâ started screaming weird things directed at Aurora
At first Aurora ignored them, keeping her attention on the fans opposite from the screaming one
But then they got louder. And bolder.
Fans saw Aurora get more and more disturbed by this fan's presence.Â
The pre-record started soon after. This dude kept screaming the entire time, disrupting the fan chant. Making fan uncomfortable. Irritating the staff.Â
It was Hannah who decided enough was enough.Â
Once the pre-record was over, Hannah stomped off stage. Ten minutes later she reappeared. She whispered something in Aurora and the maknae visibly relaxed
Seconds later, The fan and his friend were dragged out by security.
Donât piss off Hannah: Lesson Learned
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
NCT has watched Aurora grow up before their eyes. She went from a little kid to a strong woman in the blink of an eye.Â
They were there when puberty hit Aurora like a bullet train
One day everything was fine. The next day, the whole world was turned on its head.Â
Suddenly she needed new articles of clothing that she wasnât worried about before. Every month cramps, headaches and nausea racked through her body only to disappear a week later.Â
Boys became appealing to her eye. Her style changed. Her taste buds changes.Â
It all became too much
So Aurora lashed out. Expecting them to fight back, the members not holding her outbursts against her made her feel worse. Eventually everything reached a head during one We Go Up dance practice.Â
Aurora just exploded. Ranted and raved for ten minutes straight before crumbling to the floor in tears. Renjun was the first by her side, pulling her head into his neck and dragging her legs into his lap. One by one the boys surrounded her until she cries herself to sleep
The Dreamies agreed to never speak about what happened. But they did inform the other members about Aurora problems so they all knew how to handle it. Give her space
When she came to any of them for help, they kept it quiet. Knowing the maknae would recede even further if she felt everyone was talking behind her back.Â
She changed her hair and clothes. Anything she didnât like ended up in the trash until her current style stuck.Â
The members helped Aurora during her time of the month no matter how embarrassed they all felt.Â
She talked about boys. Not a lot but enough for the maknae.Â
NCT as a whole kept this up until Aurora felt like herself in her own skin again.Â
When she looks back at that time, Aurora can feel the tears build up.
She really has the most amazing family.Â
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Request: I've just read the most recent post and my heart hurts for my precious Rora.. I love that girl so much. I want some moments were NCT/AG were overprotective over Rora, I need some fluff (and angst if needed) bcs all her scenarios are angst (not that I'm not like the biggest fan of it skkskw) Keep up the good work and take care of yourself, don't apologize for anything, I'm sure that anon understands that you have a life too~đ
Warnings: Cursing, One moment of unwanted touching
âOkay ladies! One last shot then youâre both free to enjoy the rest of your time in Paris. Now I want you to bring your heads together and glare down the lens of the cameraâŚ..Perfection!! Thatâs a wrap on Moxy and Aurora!!â The camera director called out and all the staff around the room began cheering, bringing out soft pink flushes on both girls' cheeks.Â
After a year of practicing together, NCT AG had finally debuted together as four. Moxy, Hannah, Juno and Aurora were the newest members of NCTsâ all female subunit. Their debut song, Something Like A Party garnered some attention. Many netizens were not expecting the group to debut with a cuter concept as opposed to the more popular girl crush one.Â
Nonetheless, SLAP got such a positive response that SM was already gearing up for another comeback. The title, Breakthrough, while not as cute, had a fresh pop rock vibe that all the girls were excited for. Their company even flew them out to Paris to shoot the video.Â
While in the city, Soonjae-unnie told Aurora and Moxy theyâd be staying an extra day or two for a duo schedule. A magazine wanted them to be on the cover for their next monthly release. So that morning the group's head manager left the groups newest manager, Jae, in charge while she saw Hannah and Juno off at the airport.Â
The girls were all in agreement. They didnât really like Jae but they had no reason to bring up his removal. Since the man was moved from Red Velvetâs management to theirs, heâd been distant. Sometimes downright mean. When the girls would ask for stuff, heâd huff and groan. Begrudgingly doing what they asked under the watchful eye of Soonjae. Other times heâd force the girls to practice way longer than they planned. Finding every excuse in the book to keep them behind longer.Â
The worst part. His comparisons.Â
âSeulgi would have nailed this choreography in minutes, why canât you.âÂ
âYouâve got a lot of work to do if your high notes will be as good as Wendyâsâ
âYou should really study up on Ireneâs leadership styleâ
âYour voice needs to be smoother like Joyâsâ
âYou should get some tips on how to act like a maknae from YeriâÂ
It was grating.Â
Luckily most of the day, Jae ignored the two members. Letting the other managers take over his tasks while he did whatever. Honestly Aurora thought he was lying about all his work but Moxy wouldnât let her say it out loud. Especially out in the open.Â
The girls bowed to the staff of the photo shoot as they headed back to their dressing room. Everything was being cleaned up once Moxy and Aurora flopped onto the couches in their room. Bone tired from being up early this morning.Â
âWhatâs our schedule when we get back, unnie?â Aurora asks, barely acknowledging the stylist taking the bracelets off her wrist.Â
Moxy threw her make-up wipe away, âWe have to re-record a lot of Hit Me Up. Some of the files got corrupted so we need to nail it when we get back.âÂ
âI bet if Wendy and Joy unnies sang it, Jae would think we nailed it too.â Aurora flinched away from Moxyâs incoming hand.Â
âWhat did I say about proper honorifics with Jae-ssi?â Moxy stood up to retrieve her bag.
âThat I have to address him properly when heâs here. And heâs not.â Aurora smiled and all her leader could do was sigh.Â
Aurora and Moxy were about to start changing into their normal clothes when their make-up artist walked in with Auroraâs phone.
âBefore you change, Hannah and Juno are calling. They just got back to the dorm.â
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The other three AG managers just finished packing their things and met Jae outside to wait for the car. There was supposed to be two vans. One for Moxy, Aurora and Jae and the other for the rest of the SM staff who worked the shoot. But when they got outside there was only one.Â
âSunbae, where is the other van?â AGâs youngest manager, Kyungso asked, looking around for the matching vehicle.Â
Jae just smiled, âThe girl's van is running a little behind. Moxy told me to go ahead with you guys. Theyâll wait for the other van.â
They all looked around at each other, skeptical of Jae's words. Kyungso could have sworn both girls werenât even finished changing yet.Â
Jae gestured to the open side door, âWell what are you waiting for? 뚨댏!â All the staff shared another look, them all thinking the same thing, I guess weâll just trust his word. One by one, they took their seats in the van. Jae took the passenger seat and with one word the van set off to the hotel.
They were too late to see the other van drive off with nobody inside.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
âSee you at home!!â âBye!! Have fun in Paris!! Bring back those shoes so we can match.â âHave a safe flight.â âDonât you dare eat good food without us.â All four members said their goodbyeâs. Moxy and Aurora were finally done changing when they realized what time it was. What normally took thirty minutes tops, took almost two hours.Â
Quickly, the two girls gathered their things and headed for the front door. Walking through the almost empty room, they noticed none of their staff was waiting around. The two members had apologies at the tip of their tongues that disappeared when they didnât see anyone they recognized. One lone worker was packing up the last of the equipment when Moxy walked over tapping them on the shoulder.Â
âUhh Excuse me? Are any of our managers around. Iâm afraid we made them wait too long.â Moxy asked with a sheepish smile on her face.Â
The worker bowed immediately. Moxy tried to wave them off but it was no use. âMiss, Youâre management team left hours ago.âÂ
All the leader could do was sigh. If all their management left early, it meant Jae was pissed at them for taking so long. But instead of being an adult and hurrying them along. He wanted to teach them a lesson.Â
âDo you both need a ride home? It may take a car a while to get here.â The worker started to take out their phone when Moxy stopped them.Â
âItâs okay. Fortunately our hotel is close by. We can just walk. Be safe getting home.â Moxy bowed quickly. She grabbed Aurora's hand and dragged the younger outside.Â
âSo? Where is everyone? What happened?â Aurora asked. Moxy turned onto the main street headed in the direction of the hotel.Â
âJaeâs being an asshole thatâs what.â Moxy huffed, stopping at the corner, âJae and all the staff left hours ago without saying anything. Now we gotta find our way back to the hotel on foot.â
âI inputted the address before we left.â Aurora pulled up the maps app on her phone, turning the device around for Moxy to see. âMy GPS says head right four blocks, turn left then keep going straight for six blocks. The hotel will be on our right.â The two started walking following the directions Auroraâs phone gave them. It was gonna be a long walk.Â
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
After a long day of doing the same pose for twenty minutes at a time, a thirty minute walk felt like hours.Â
âCome on Eunji!! Weâre only six blocks away.â Moxy tugged on Aurora limp arm. The younger one dragging her feet.Â
âIâm so tired unnie!! I know youâre itching to give Jae a piece of your mind but why can we stop and eat something.â Aurora finally gave in, letting her leader pull her further down the street.Â
âWe canât stop because neither of us know how to speak french. Come on, I promise weâll eat whatever you want once we get to the hotel.â Aurora huffed but began lifting her feet keeping up with Moxy pace. The beautiful architecture around them were just regular building to the tired girlsÂ
The two girls were crossing their third block when they heard it.Â
âHey! Where are you two ladies going all by your lonesome.â They both froze at the leering male voice to their right. Aurora almost turned to see who he was but Moxyâs hand gripping her own stopped her. Moxy suddenly started moving yanking Aurora along.Â
Before the younger could say anything, Moxy practically hissed, âKeep your head down and keep walking. Donât make any eye contact. Just keep walking.âÂ
âOh come on now!! Why don't you stick around. I can show you both a real good time!â At the sound of heavy footfalls, Moxy picked up the pace.
âHey! Iâm talking to you two! Itâs rude to ignore someone older than you.â The voice and its ensuing footsteps got closer.Â
A foreign hand grabbed where the members' hands were intertwined.Â
A foreign whine left Aurora's mouth at the unwanted touch.Â
Moxy didnât even register what happened until the man groaned in pain. His grip lost
Blood dripped from the manâs nose. Furious eyes met frightened ones. Moxyâs closed fist shaking between them.
âYou little bitââ Moxy didnât stick around for the rest of the sentence.Â
The girls took off down the street. Street signs and Building passed them in a blur. They didnât stop until the third set of footsteps faded further away, lost in the speed they ran through the streets. Up ahead, Aurora noticed an open door. They ducked into the door, hiding behind the wall when an angry male voice passed by. The two girls clutched at each other as their heartbeats slowed down, the rising panic settling.Â
When a softer, kinder voice this time thankfully in thick accented English said, âExcuse me.â Both girls couldnât help but jump. Their jittery nerves still not fully calm.Â
âSorry to startle. Do youâŚneed help?â Moxy breathed a sigh of relief, âYes please.âÂ
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Taeyong, you need to calm down."
"How can I calm down when two of my members are missing in Paris and need I remind you THEY DON'T SPEAK FRENCH!!!!!" Soonjae had to move the speaker away from her ear. Taeyong shouting could burst eardrums. Sounds of the phone tossed around were all the manager heard until a more level-headed voice spoke.
"Soonjae-noona, could you tell me what happened." Johnny asked but she could still hear Taeyong pacing in the background. Threats against Jae's jobs spilling from his mouth.
Soonjae shook her head, thanking the heavens Taeyong was still in Korea, "I called Jae as soon as Hannah and Juno finished boarding. I asked where Moxy and Aurora were. He said, verbatim, 'no idea'. Then fed me some BS about the girls telling them to go ahead to the hotel." Soonjae's uber finally arrived and pulled off after she closed the door.
"Moxy and Aurora know better than that. You don't actually believe him?" Doyoung's voice chimed in.
"Who do you take me for Doyoung-ah? I've been a manager at this company for years. Of course I didn't."
"We don't mean anything by that Soonjae-noona. We all just wanna find the girls." Johnny tone once again smoothed out the tension.
Soonjae was seething when she hung up with Jae earlier. Both she and Taeyong were skeptical of him when all the AG members had something to say about his behavior. Taeyong, being the leader, wanted him gone immediately. Nobody disrespected his members. Not on his watch.
Soonjae was the one who stopped him.
She'd known Jae for years now. He first became a manager right at the tail end of F(x)'s active days then he was moved to Red Velvet's team and he flourished. Within three years, he became one of their lead managers. The two regularly hanging to commiserate over the days events.
Then Soonjae was moved to NCT's management, specifically Moxy's. The company wanted her to have a personal manager that she could fully trust since they were adding the girl to an all male group. The Aurora debuted. Then Juno and Hannah came soon after. When AG became real, SM knew they wanted Soonjae to stay on as their lead manager, giving her the choice to choose who she wanted to bring on.
Jae was her first choice and now her girls were in possible danger.
and it was her fault.
"Noona....It's okay. None of this is your fault. You focus on getting in touch with the girls. I'll go to the company and handle this." Taeyong reassured her. Making sure the older woman knew in ire wasn't directed at her. After they hung up, minutes later, her phone rang again. Relief filled her at the familiar name.
"Moxy?!? Thank God, where are you??" Soonjae relayed the address to her uber driver, "Okay I'm heading your way. Do Not Move!!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The older lady introduced herself as Genevieve. The shop Moxy and Aurora ran into was her bakery. Genevieve, or Miss Eve as she asked them to call her, sat them down and told them they could stay while they waited for someone to pick them up. Before they could call, Soonjae's number flashed across Moxyâs screen. The manager demanded to know why the two werenât at the hotel yet. After reassuring their rightfully pissed manager that they were okay, Soonjae told them she was leaving the hotel on the way to their location.Â
When Miss Eve came back out, it was with a tray full of homemade french pastries. The elder proceeded to feed the girls while they waited for their manager to arrive. When asked Moxy told Miss Eve about what they had been up to and who they were. When Miss Eve found out they were celebrities, she got them to sign the wall of her store.
âThat way when group get big, I can brag. Knew you before famous.âÂ
Miss Eve was packing up pastries for the girls to bring back to the hotel when Soonjae arrived. It was a tearful reunion finally seeing a familiar face after what happened earlier. Before they left, Moxy and Aurora signed a spare album and poster for Miss Eve to hang in her bakery. The two left with a promise to bring Hannah and Juno next time.Â
The ride back was silent until Soonjae asked, âWas this Jae? And donât lie.â Soonjae took the silence for their answer. The car sped up in response.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The girls couldnât catch a break as they walked into the gorgeous lobby of their hotel. Jae was already headed their way with a fake concerned look on his face.Â
âGirls, I am so sorry. I honestly thought you wereââ âSave it Jae. Girls, go ahead upstairs. Iâll have Kyungso meet you up there.â Warily, Moxy looked at the two managers deciding as much as she wanted to see Soonjae unnie run down Jae her own tiredness won over. Moxy silently told Aurora to follow her to the elevators.Â
Soonjae didnât speak until the elevator doors closed. âOf all the low-down, dirty things Iâve ignored because I know who you really areââÂ
âNoona, I said Iâm sorââ âTHAT'S NOT ENOUGH!!â Jae flinched at the harshness of the elders' tone. In all the time heâs known Soonjae, sheâs never yelled. She didnât really need to. If Soonjae asked for something, everything and everyone followed suit.Â
Soonjae took a huge deep breath before continuing, âI know you hate SM for pulling you from Red Velvet to NCT but that is no excuse to take it out on those four girls. Youâre suspended, effective immediately. Pack your stuff. Youâre on the first plane back to Seoul in the morning.âÂ
Jae scoffed, âYou donât have the right to suspend me. Only upper management can.â He crossed his arm, looking smug. He faltered when Soonjae just smirked back.
Soonjae took out her phone flipping thru until she reached an email from the CEO himself, âEhem, Soonjae-ssi, We canât believe what Jae-ssi has done to idols in our agency. Rest assured we will take care of it as soon as possible. Until then, Inform Jae-ssi that he has been suspended and is expected to fly out early so we can discuss his behavior and attitude towards the idols under his watch.â Soonjae locked her phone with a satisfying click, âWell would you look at that. Seems like I do have the power.â Soonjae patted his shoulder, âIâd get to packing if I were you.â Getting into the elevator, Soonjae couldnât help the wave of satisfaction that crashed over her seeing Jae seething in the middle of the lobby.Â
Soonjae was finally able to breathe once she saw her girls eating, the stress of the day finally sliding away. In the car the head manager could tell something serious happened between the photo shoot location and the girls ending up at that bakery. Knowing they were safe was enough for now. Pushing them for an explanation may do more harm than good. She decided to leave those thoughts for another day.Â
Right now, making Migyeong and Eunji comfortable was her top priority.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Here is the orignal request: Can I request an Aurora and Moxy angst, where they have a duoÂż schedule and they're both left out in a foreign country (you pick which) on purpose (shitty new manager) and they get hurt (they fall, get physically assaulted by a sasaeng, pass out from dehydration or idk, you pick đ) and the members are NOT pleased with it? I've dreamt of this scenario and it was so realistic, so I've thought of making a request..
Thank you anon for your request!! I also wanted to say if any anon reader's want to give themselves an emoji so I can differentiate between you all, you're totally free to do so!! just shoot me a message đđ
Another Aurora angst request!! Once again I'll post the request underneath the taglist. My requests are always open so don't be shy. Sorry this took a bit longer to post. I got swamped with work. But were back and I hope you all enjoy ~ Author Izzy
Legend - September of 2015
âLAST TWENTY SECONDS GIRLS!! LETâS GO!!â Migyeongâs voice echoed around the room. As the music kept playing, the trainees surrounding her basically forced their limbs to move. Under the watchful eye of their dance instructor, he expected nothing but the best from them. Eunji, Ningning, Migyeong and Amaya have pushed themselves to the limit. Probably past it.Â
Especially Eunji.Â
On top of practicing with her group of female trainees for monthly evaluations, SM asked her to practice with the most promising young male trainees for a month. Like any other guy it took Eunji awhile to be comfortable with them. What could she say? They won her over. Eunji loved the progress she made in the short time she shared with baby shinki and didnât want to stop. So she kept going. Trading off days between the girls and boys. Training and having fun while doing it.Â
As the weeks went on, her friends could see how the schedule was getting to her.
Every practice her occasional smile became nonexistent. She began confusing routines together. The instructors wanted to get her mom involved but trainees from both sides said they could handle it. They all hoped it was true.
Once the music stopped, the only sound you could hear was heavy breathing. The girls stayed in position while their dance instructor gave his critiques. As soon as he walked out, the girls ran for the door.
âEunji! Ningning! You guys want water? Amaya and I are headed to the corner store.â Migyeong looked at the maknae who was sprawled out on the floor of the stage. Eunji groaned in response which Migyeong took as an affirmative. The two older girls turn to Ningning.Â
âNo thanks unnie. I have some water here.â Amaya shut the door behind them. Their voices carried down the halls of the SM building.
Ningning went to her bag sitting in one of the chairs on the front row. She flopped onto the closest chair chugging half her water in less than five seconds. Maybe she should have asked Migyeong unnie to bring her more water back. Bleary eyed, Ningning watched Eunji finally move, dragging herself to an upright position.
Eunji stumbled to her feet, her legs practically wobbling underneath her. Ningning looked away for a second thinking she saw something in the door window. Turning back around, Ningning saw how close to the edge Eunji was.Â
âWow Eunji!?â Ningning got up, fearing the worst. âThe stairs are the other way. Follow me to your left.â Ningning held her hand up, reaching for the younger. Hoping to steer her away from the edge of the stage.Â
Ningning thanked the heavens she was right at the edge of the stage. When Eunji turns around, everything tilts.Â
âEUNJI!!!â
.
.
.
.
.
.
It took a moment for Ningningâs brain to catch up. Blinking the blinding lights out of her eyes, her body registered the warm body sprawled on top of hers. The singer pushed herself using her arm but a twinge stopped her. Seeing a large purple bruise, made her wince. That was gonna be hard to hide she thought. Ningning used her other arm to push herself up. Eunjiâs limp body fell over her legs. Ningning adjusted so her knees acted as a pillow for Auroraâs head.Â
âEunjiâŚ. Eunji please.â Tears filled the olders eyes. Eunji not responding to her pleas. âEunji, please wake up. I canât do this without you.â Ningning didnât even hear the door open. She didnât hear the footsteps rushing towards the two girls. Didnât feel the pain in her shoulder until Juno put her arm around her.
ââ-Ning! Can you hear me? Tell me what happened!â Moxyâs questions finally registered in her brain. Juno was on her right side checking her shoulder.
Ningning wiped her eyes, âEunji. She fell off the stage. When she got up, her knees were shaking.â Ningning winced when Junoâs fingers prodded at her bruised shoulder. âI told her to come towards the stairsâŚso I could help her down. I think she turned too quickly. Sheâ she just tipped over the edgeâŚâŚI triedâŚ.to catch her but I fell too.â Her eyes filled with tears that Juno was quick to wipe away. In her mind she couldnât help but think about how bad it could have been if she wasnât so close. Eunji would have hit the ground with no support. I could have lost her Ningning winced at the thought.Â
âHey Ning-ah, look at me. You did good okay. Eunjiâs gonna be just fine. You protected her from getting injured further. Let unnies take over. Now Amayaâs gonna take you to get some bruise cream for your shoulder. Iâm gonna stay here until Eunjiâs mom gets here.â As the two girls walked out of the room, Moxy folded up her jacket, gently placing it underneath Eunjiâs head.Â
I hope she won't be mad, Migyeong thought as she unlocked her phone and scrolled to one of her contacts.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Eunji blinked up at the familiar ceiling of her childhood room. Waking up, she felt more rested than sheâd ever been but she doesnât remember how she got here. She took a glance around until her eyes locked with Migyeongâs. âWhat happened? Why am I here?â
âYou were exhausted. Thatâs why youâre here.â Migyeong got up from her chair to sit by Eunjiâs side.
âYou told my mom. Unnie, you promised!â
âI promised not to tell her anything unless it was serious. Eunji, you passed out. This is serious. Luckily your moms a nurse and she diagnosed you. If it was Mark he would have taken you to the hospital.â
âYou and Mark talked.â
âOnly to make sure we were on the same page when it comes to you.â The older brushed Eunjiâs fringe to the side, away from her eyes. âI know you say weâre super similar but after talking to himâŚ.I donât see it.â Before Eunji could respond, her mom Ms. Chae coughed, catching the attention of the two girls. She was leaning on the door post in her scrubs, her eyes locked on her daughter.Â
âMigyeong-ah thanks for staying until I got off work. Your granddad's here to take you home.â Migyeong nodded. She got up from the bed saying, âDonât you ever do that again. You owe Ningning a thank you for taking the brunt of the fall. Iâll see you in a week.â She sent one more apologetic look Eunjiâs way before making her way down the hall. Ms. Chae walked her out but once the door was closed she went straight back to her daughter's room.Â
Ms. Chae pulled the chair Migyeong occupied earlier closer to the bed. When she settled down, Eunji did her best not to make eye contact. It just made the scolding worse.
âWhatâs our rule, Eunji-ah?âÂ
âUmmm. Donât slap people.âÂ
âThe other one.âÂ
âDonât punch someone unless they deserve it?âÂ
âThe other, other one.âÂ
Eunji thought for a moment, âAlways tell mom you love her.â That didnât amuse Ms. Chae at all. Eunji sighed.Â
âIf training interferes with my grades or health, Iâd have to leave.â Ms. Chae was gonna speak but Eunji cut her off, desperate. âBut eomma, this is the first time Iâve passed out. Everything else has been fine. Peachy even. I pushed myself too far and thatâs my fault but Iâm begging you. Donât make me quit. I love this. I love training with Ningning, Amaya and Migyeong unnies. AndâŚ.training with the boys, It's the most fulfilling thing Iâve done since I became a trainee. Haechan gets on my nerves sometimes but I know he cares about me. Renjunâs been teaching me ballet to help with my balance. Jaemin and Jeno stop at nothing to make me smile at every practice. Genuinely smile.â As her daughter ranted about the six male trainees sheâs already heard so much about, Her mind wandered.Â
Some of the people Ms. Chae has encountered in her life judged her choices. Getting pregnant young and marrying a foreigner. Divorcing him five years later and moving back to Korea. Letting her eleven year old daughter become an idol trainee was another choice liked by few. Ms. Chae never wanted to hold her daughter back. Watching Eunji singing were some of the rare times Ms. Chae saw her daughter come alive since they moved to Korea. Call her selfish for wanting to see that more by letting her daughter start training. She didnât care.Â
Getting the call from an emotional Migyeong scared her. She dropped everything, rushing to the SM building with her arms loaded with anything she could need to patch her daughter up. She sighed in relief after finding out Eunji was just dehydrated and exhausted.
Walking into the auditorium to see her daughter lying prone on the floor was enough for her to regret deciding to let Eunji train. But seeing Eunji now, a girl who swore off stupid boys at six years old after punching one in the jaw, speaks unabashedly about six male trainees erased that regret away.Â
If letting her daughter train helped her grow into the woman she was meant to be, Ms. Chae could take any and all judgy looks.Â
âThe girls and I finally nailed our monthly eval routine today. I canât just drop out mom. Iâll do anyââÂ
âIâm not making you quit.â Ms. Chae said with a smile.Â
âthing to stay.â Eunji paused, âDo you just say I donât have to quit? I can keep training.â Eunji went to sit up. Her mom helped her to an upright position keeping a hand on her arm just in case she got dizzy.Â
âIâve never seen you talk about any boys more than those six. You love this right?â Eunji nodded. With a smile, Ms. Chae cupped her daughter's face between her two hands, âI would never take you away from something that clearly matters to you. But you have to get a better schedule since you definitely want to keep training with both groups. I donât want you to pass out ever again okay?â Quickly Eunji nodded. She threw her hands around her mom thanking her profusely.Â
âAlright alright you need to lay back down. Youâre not leaving this bed for a week. Nurses orders.â Ms. Chae walked out of the room to her daughter whining.Â
Aurora angst with prompts 3, 5 and 9. She had many stages and was so tired so she didn't see when her group left the stage and basically fainted, but to make things worse, she fell offstage and almost no one saw, except for NingNing.
Prompts - âI almost lost you.â / âDonât you ever do that again!â / âYou need to wake up because I canât do this without you.â
New post and I bring you angst!! This a request from an anonymous reader. I'm gonna post their request below the post so there's no spoilers. Also, content warning for one curse word (Just incase anybody complains) Enjoy ~ Author Izzy
Legend: Around May 2020
It had been a long day. Its been long months for everyone in NCT
All the members were working. Album and mini album releases, Beyond Live concerts, music show performances and the like. And now it was getting even crazier.Â
The company had told them at the end of the year NCT would finally have another all member project, NCT 2020. Along with plans for a full album and album repackage, SM threw two new members into NCTâs lineup without a destination for either one. Needless to say, all the members were looking forward to some time off.Â
That wasnât coming anytime soon.Â
After spending the morning in different practices for the various NCT U songs, the night was spent with established units getting ready comebacks. While AG had their comeback for the year, the girls were in dance practice for their groups song on Resonance, Welcome To The Jungle.Â
All the girls were tired. Especially Aurora. This year had been difficult bouncing from group to group. She was expected to excel in each one. No mistakes could be afforded. The maknae could count the amount of times she had medicine shoved down her throat to stave off any sign of a cold. Seeing all her other members pushing through gave strength to keep going too.Â
Something was different today.Â
For the first time, she felt sluggish. Every movement felt controlled by someone else, not by her own brain. Throughout this practice, NCTâs maknae was floating in the clouds. Earlier that day, her second leader, Mark, had noticed the situation Aurora was in and forced her to lay down for a quick nap. The sleep session gave her the energy to make it through to lunch. Now it seemed the energy had worn off at the worst time.Â
She had been struggling with the choreo for WTTJ. Jisung hadnât had the time to help her. Sheâd been on her own and the choreographer didnât seem too keen on stopping to explain anything. Heâd show it once then kept going. He wouldnât say anything when any of them messed up, the look of disapproval was enough.Â
The four girls had been stuck on the second chorus. All of them had gotten one move wrong in different places. The phrase âdo it againâ was gettting on everyone's nerves. Juno and Aurora werenât as dance inclined as Moxy and Hannah. The two commiserate over difficult choreo all the time. Something wasnât clicking for them both and the failure was bothering Juno A LOT MORE than Aurora.Â
Hours later and they were still stuck on the second chorus. Every time they were told to stop made Junoâs blood boil. No matter the member, it was only a matter of time before everything exploded. Aurora was the one to mess up this time and the unfortunate recipient of Junoâs anger.
âJESUS AURORA!!! Get it together! Youâre not the only one tired! Weâve all been here for hours, STUCK on the same part because of you! Maybe there's a reason you don't have any main positions in the group.â
âJUNO!!â Moxyâs voice silenced the room, âThat was uncalled for. Weâve all messed up, including you;â The rest of Moxyâs words fell on deaf ears. Aurora felt the burn of tears.Â
A couple of nights ago, Aurora expressed her insecurities to Juno. That night, her older sister comforted her. Reassured her that the positions system was crap. It didnât define her or her talents. To hear someone she trusts throw a private conversation in her face hurts. Seeing Junoâs face fall, realizing what she said, didnât stop that pain from growing. She had to leave. Aurora ran for it. Slamming the door and making her way to the stairwell.Â
Running while tired is always a bad idea. Aurora found that out when she thought her foot was on another step but it missed completely. The maknae passed out before she reached the next landing.Â
Jaehyun was climbing up the stairs to the floor where all NCT members had taken over. It was gonna be a long day for everyone. Members were gonna be jumping around from room to room getting ready for NCT 2020. Jaehyun and the rest of the Make A Wish unit members were given a small break but they all promised to be back within the hour. Whoever was last bought dinner. And that was not about to be Jaehyun.Â
He was one more landing away from the right floor when he heard a giant thud above him. He took the stairs two at a time to see if anyone was hurt. When he reached the landing, he almost choked at the sight in front of him. Without hesitation he called out.Â
âWE NEED AN AMBULANCE!!â
When Aurora came to, she was laying on a bed. Thankfully, no oxygen mask was required. She tried wiggling her toes, they were okay. When she wiggled her fingers, pain shot up her left arm. Trying to sit up made a strange sensation rush through her head. Aurora moaned, not used to feeling this woozy. Warm hands guided her back till her head hit the pillows. The lights in the room were turned down, easing the pounding in her head.Â
âRora?â a familiar voice spoke softly, âCan you open your eyes for me?â Moxy asked, both of her hands holding one of hers. Even opening her eyes a little bit made the woozy feeling rush back. Aurora eyes snapped back shut. .Â
âBright.â Auroraâs voice croaked out
âBright? Is it too bright?â Immediately in the same soft tone, âKill the lights.â Aurora heard someone's footsteps lead to a corner of the room. Thank God she thought as the lights were turned off. Slowly she cracked open her eyes thankful for the darkness soothing her pounding head. âDo I look okay? Youâre not seeing double right? The doctor told us to check when you woke up,â A wave of relief passed over the members occupying her room when she nodded
âIâm alive?! Where am I?â Aurora wandered around the room taking in the faces around her bed. Moxy and Jaehyun were the closest. Taeyong whispered something to Mark before slipping out of the room.Â
âAurora of course youâre alive.â Mark took her other hand. The concern dripped from his gaze.Â
âAs for where you are,â Aurora turned to Moxy's sad eyes. âYouâre in the hospital. On top of spraining your wrist and bruising your back from the fall. You passed out from exhaustion. Safe to say I canât save you from Hannah leacure about proper hydration this time.â
âFall? What fall? I donât rememberââ Then it hit her. Junoâs comment. The anger. Running to the stairs. Missing a step. All the memories appear clear as day in her mind. But she couldnât focus on that. Aurora was already worried about the time she lost. How far was each group behind because of her.
âHow long was I out? Did I miss a ton of practiceâ Aurora paused, waiting for the pounding in her head to subside. âWait that doesnât matter. Since Iâm awake they can release me.â Aurora tried to sit up but two hands pushed her back down.Â
âSlow down Eunji-ah. Youâre not going anywhere. At least not until a doctor comes to check you out. You have a bad bump on your head. So I want you to stay put while I go check with Taeyong. Watch her.â Jaehyun addressed Aurora to leaders both heading out the door. The room was silent except for the sounds coming from outside of the door. Inwardly, Aurora wondered where Juno was. She figured she'd be by her bedside, trying to apologize. Maybe she wasnât because she believed what she said.Â
âBefore you ask, The company only let a couple of us come with you. The others had to wait until you woke up. Theyâre probably marching down the hall as we speak.â Moxy ran her hand through Aurora's hair.Â
True to her word, The door opened. Letting Hannah, Chenle, Jisung, Haechan and Juno into the room. Before he could run over, Mark stopped Haechan warning he couldnât manhandle Aurora like heâd normally would. Both Chenle and Haechan walked over, the two of them checking on her in their own ways. Haechan gets a few laughs out of her while Chenle silently scans her for any and all injuries.Â
It seemed like Haechan was also used to distract her. Before she knew it, all the members who were around her had left, leaving Aurora with Juno and Haechan.Â
âIâm gonna check whatâs going on outside.â He ruffled Auroraâs hair walking over to Juno. He whispered something in her ear then joined the others in the hall outside her room. The two girls kept glancing around the room, eyes never landing on each other.Â
âJuno unnie, come and sit.â Aurora patted the space next to her on the bed. Juno was shocked, feeling like the maknae wanted nothing to do with her. When Jaehyunâs voice called for an ambulance, all the members came running. Before anyone could see what happened, Johnny and Taeil were backing the others away while Mark and Moxy stepped forward to examine the situation. They all knew it was serious when an ambulance pulled up minutes later with a company car following behind it. .Â
Hours later news was relayed to the other members stuck at the company. Practice was canceled for the day on Taeyongâs orders. They were all thankful. No one was gonna focus until they heard something. The managers only let so many members see Aurora, besides Hannah and Juno, so they settled it the only way they knew how, Kai-Bai-Bo.Â
Only one thing had been running through Junoâs head in the car. Why would I say that? Being tired and frustrated isnât an excuse to be mean. Especially to someone she considers her little sister. Juno took a seat on the bed next to Aurora, grabbing her hand.Â
âRoraâ Iâm soâ âUnnie stop.â Her jaw snapped shut. Tears were already building in her eyes. In this state Juno didnât think she could handle any harsh words. But knew she deserved them.Â
âIâve always been the only child. When SM told my mom Iâd be debuting again in a girl group, she said something before our first practice. She said âI have three sisters and between the four of us, weâve gotten into hundreds of fights. But the one thing I always knew is theyâd fight for me and I would do the same.â What you said hurt me Unnie but I know you have my back anââ
âOf course I do. Rora, youâre like my little sister. But that doesnât excuse me from apologizing. Youâre owed an apology. Aurora I am so sorry. Iâve been exhausted and this practice was my breaking point. If I hadnât seen you first it wouldâve been Hannah. And If not her it wouldâve Migyeong unnie. I promise, Iâll find a better way to process these emotions because none of you deserve it. Okay?âÂ
Aurora nodded. She tried to speak again but Juno held her hand up. âAnd one more thing. Donât you dare take a word I said today seriously. I meant what I said last week. The position system is bullshit. Your talents are not defined by the words main, lead and sub. You are one of the most talented people I have ever met and it is an honor to stand on stage with you. You are so young, you have nothing but time and room to grow.â Aurora blinked tears away. She gripped her Unnieâs hand tight, silent understanding passing between the two and as carefully as she could, Juno hugged her. In the tiny window, several eyes look at the scene in a mixture of relief and joy. Seeing the two girls smiling and exchanging laughter once again.
Can I request an Aurora & AG angst? Aurora has been overworking herself, so she was slacking off on AG practice and other girls were in a bad mood so they yelled at her how she was being lazy, that being the reason why she had no main positions and said something insensitive. Then Aurora had enough, ran out from the practice room all teary with some NCT members running after her (without AG). She then gets into an life threatening accident, but survives of course.
I saw the prompt list and thought of this. prompt 38, 29, 50. & 45.
Anon!! Here's your prompt. I'm not really comfortable writing anything life threating yet so I didn't go too far. But I stuck to the basis of your prompt. I hope you don't mind and still like it. ~ Author Izzy

And for the ask game, Iâm picking impressed (it can be both romantic, platonic, or proving someone wrong). If you want to do all members, thatâs okay, or if you want to do one for this ask, Iâll pick Moxy.
Hey bestie!!! I hope your doing well toođđ
Thank you for the ask!! I just read the prompt and there's already ideas floating around in my head so expect this soon!! One of them is Moxy but the other I'll keep a surprise!!!
Can I request an Aurora and Moxy angst, where they have a duoÂż schedule and they're both left out in a foreign country (you pick which) on purpose (shitty new manager) and they get hurt (they fall, get physically assaulted by a sasaeng, pass out from dehydration or idk, you pick đ) and the members are NOT pleased with it? I've dreamt of this scenario and it was so realistic, so I've thought of making a request..
Hi Anon!! Thank you for you request!!
And i have to say, this one sounds delicious and I can't wait to write it!! Stay tuned for when it drops!
