rkbubble with @rkjisoo !!

he thinks he’s seen her a few times around the royal building, a cool senior he doesn’t really know how to approach. there’s no clear, universal instructions on how to introduce yourself to people who are so far out of your social league that they’re in an entirely new league themselves. ( he fondly remembers the fact that he had even needed to be guided to meet mingyu, the older’s mother introducing them for the mutual benefit of being each others’ first best friends— first ‘everything’s, really, over the years. ) he taps the base of his bubble wand against his palm, convinces himself it’s not that big of deal, especially given that they’re just out in the wild right now. to the world, they’re just two people enjoying the festival. it’s no big deal, right? 

Though summer is near its end, the hot waves in Seoul won’t be clearing away for a few weeks still. In order to make the most out of the season before autumn creeps in, the city hall has prepared a cheerful festival for citizens to enjoy!

The 2018 Bubble Festival will be held on the second weekend of September, starting on Friday and ending on Sunday evening. The festival ground will be open from 10am to 8pm on all three days, and there is no entrance fee. Activities within the perimeter are also free; money to cover costs will only come from the food and drinks sold there, and any profit resulting from the festival will be directed to charitable organizations working around the county.

The main attraction of the festival are the giant soap bubble wands spread across the grounds, blowing soap bubbles over the crowd every few minutes. Anyone can get a small bubble wand of their own to play with, too! Additionally, several activities have been prepared for children (or adults with youthful spirits) to enjoy: obstacle courses, ball pits, face painting, a bouncy castle and, of course, there are also several food carts spread across the festival ground.

Live music performances will happen on a 360° stage at the center of the park during the afternoon on all three days. Invited artists include Chi Chi’s subunit Oh!Chi Chi, BIGSTAR’s Jude, and LUXE. When artists are not performing, a DJ takes over the stage.

This festival will happen on the 7th, 8th and 9th of September, but OOC muns have until midnight EST at the end of Sunday, September 30th to meet the requirements for points.

For +2 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, write a 150+ words solo or a four-post thread of your muse watching LUXE’s live stage performance, to happen on Saturday, September 8th.  

For +2 POINTS TO DISTRIBUTE AS YOU WISH, write a 150+ words solo or a four-post thread of your muse enjoying the festival activities, such as jumping into the ball pit or buying a juice pouch from one of the food carts. 

For +2 CHARISMA POINTS, write a four-post thread with a muse you haven’t interacted with yet. You can complete this task up to three times (with three different muses), for a total of +6 CHARISMA POINTS.

after what had seemed like an eternity, the day had finally come for suji to meet with dongmin. the bubble festival had been a nice way to go out and do something fun for a change instead of the typical meals that she was doing with her friends. she had no idea what she would be expecting, but she had read up on it and it sounded fun at least. 

rkbubble -- new interaction: @yujinrk

happy days usually pass by quicker than he'd like, and he almost forgets that it was normal for it to happen. he could only heave a sigh when he realized that the festival was soon coming to a close for the day. with donghyuck spending time with their other friends, jaemin opts to make his exit. but not until he remembers that he asked yujin to meet up a few hours ago. not that he was sure she was at the festival at the time, still he sent the message he'd rarely used these days since donghyuck came into the picture.

earlier today, he typed 'it'd be nice if today lasted forever' before hitting send, mindlessly. he wasn't sure if it was something he should have done considering the festivities. today was meant to be enjoyed. but she would understand, she always does. now, he's sitting on a nearby bench by the exit, scrolling through his phone and waiting for her to come. he hadn't talked to yujin in a while, things like this usually don't change how much he cared about her. but now, he's thinking if he should conclude both their days with what has been troubling him.

@rkchaeyoung

It’d been a while since Seokwoo had had time to spend with Chaeyoung, a strange realisation when they’d used to spend nearly every day together as CEO and assistant. There was the nagging worry that she’d shrunk since the last time they had hung out, a thought that lingered as he peeked over at her and then up at the stage where Luxe was performing. He wondered if he should ask, offer to lift her up if she couldn’t see over the crowd or find a closer spot where less people would be in the way. Had she always been this short? Seokwoo had never noticed that until now, how it must have been difficult for her if she went to concerts like this -- he never had that issue, he was more worried about standing in the way of someone else. His weight shifted as he leaned over.

“Should we get closer?”

at the bubble festival, ball pit, w/ @rksakura

 he was twenty-two. legally and matter-of-factly, he was an adult. lee hwitaek had a good job, he paid his bills, he owned a car, he was still in school, but he was still an adult. 

  however, at the sight of the ball pit, all matureness and adulting he may have on his belt didn’t stand a chance. 

    they had time limits for the pit and there was a line. hwitaek was basically buzzing with excitement. he couldn’t remember the last time he had been in a ball pit? probably when he was much younger. probably someone’s birthday party? 

@rkdongmin

the event was heard in royal of course. luxe was performing, and as both an avid fan of the girl group, and a friend to the girls in the group, seonho knew they would be performing with other sunbae artist at a bubble festival. 

and so of course seonho found his way there. 

the crowd was big, but not over whelming. or at least, seonho wasn’t paying attention to the people around him as he bounced lightly on his heels. waiting for them to announce the next performance. to see his noonas walk onto stage. the bright shining faces he doesn’t get to see often anymore since their debut. but he’s so proud and happy for them. they deserve this, all of his noonas are so super talented. 

rkbubble event starter for @rkwon !!

This was fantastic. Not only was he going to get to see Dawon perform live again, but he was also going to get to watch her with Won again. However, it was definitely times such as this one that he wishes his road to Royal didn’t consist of being on a television show. Having people recognize them meant that he wasn’t allowed to be himself around his boyfriend. While in public, he was constantly forced to return to the stone-age... In other words, he was back to simply being Jeon Won’s best friend. He wanted to kiss his lips, rest his hands on his hips and sway to the music with him, plus so many other lovey-dovey things that were forbidden.
