they find little breaks in between; believes it to be a source of mental and physical recuperation. as someone who gets exhausted all too easily, jisoo needs more than just five minutes of catching her breath. if it was up to her, she would have preferably settled for an hour long break. unfortunately, she does not have that kind of liberty unless she wants to be blasted for slacking around. given that she just came back from her week of gallivanting at her home city, she should be picking up exactly where she left off.

still, fifteen minutes of sitting around should be considered a necessity. 

“i should say, i did not expect your dream concept would be band themed.” after nearly three minutes of comfortable silence, she speaks up. “it makes sense, though as you have always loved playing instruments.” she continues. they were all unique and had their differences—she finds that this is one of their most endearing qualities as a group. the way they have their own molds to fit into and still come together beautifully is an aspect she will treasure until her next life. after all, it is not easy to find something quite like what they have in this time.

Sungmin knew that the breezy evaluations (at least in his opinion) were too good to be true. He had been waiting for that one evaluation that really challenged him. He didn’t have to wait long. As soon as the staff entered the room, he had a feeling of dread. Once they opened their mouths, his whole body sank. Not only did they have to perform two routines, but one had to be a concept they were dreading.

This should be fun.

god, shiah was so damn tired.

that boot camp had taken a lot out of her. she was... okay, she supposed, but still. she could’ve had the most stamina out of anyone in the world and that rigorous three day torture session would’ve still winded her a bit. with all the work put into the evaluation performance, she felt like she deserved a little fun. 

to the bar!

drinking alone isn’t fun though, and of all the other royal girl trainess, the only one who had seen her get ridiculous and wasted was rose. she was also one of the older ones among the other girls so she didn’t feel like it was inappropriate to ask her to come along. it made sense to ask her, plus it would help them bond a little more like they always said they wanted to but somehow never got around to it.

“you. we’re going for somaek. maybe noraebang if we get drunk enough. you’re free, right?” it was pretty assertive, not even a request really, but shiah was slightly - slightly - desperate to have a drinking partner here. hopefully rose said yes. otherwise shiah was about to feel pretty embarrassed.

even if baekhyun tried to hold him back, trying to make him take a break and rest, when it was neccessary, kang joon remained stubborn and stayed extra long to go through the choreography over and over again. the will to show that he was giving it his all and that he really wanted to debut with the others and that he deserved the positions they had planned for him, kept him going. kang joon had the stamina, and a few sour muscles didn't stopped him from repeating the steps again and again. the others had tried to help him out the best way they could, so there was no way he could give up that easily, not when he had come that far and not when they trusted him to do well.

being scolded and criticised wasn't exactly something he wasn't used to, though it still frustrated him. he wasn't the born dancer, but a born fighter and whatever it took, he would somehow met the expectations, even if the thought of him bending himself to squeeze himself into a shape that wasn't him shuddered him with horror. but what could he do, when he wanted to debut under the royal label? there was nothing else, but to bow his head and try to become a dancing idol like they wanted him to be, without losing too much of himself.

as much as baekhyun already misses the old building and all the memories he got to made in there, he also feels excited about the new one. about getting to know it and for the moment when the halls get so familiar that he knows his way around with his eyes closed -- for it to become a new home for him. as much as the old company building was.

all the possibilities for exploring were a good point about it as well when they got the news about the company move.

baekhyun already did a lot of that with seonho, some of it alone as well but there’s one important place in the new building he hasn’t seen yet. wanted to keep this as his last stop once he thinks he’s seen everything else that is to see in the unfamiliar hallways ; the rooftop terrace. so, baekhyun steps into the elevator and presses the button for the top floor. moving immediately to press the one that shuts the doors but someone comes running and he stretches his hand in between the doors to keep them from closing to let the girl in.

the new building is-- different, for sure. it’s the same general concept, but there’s a lot more new additions, a lot bigger; a lot more difficult to find his way around the first couple of days. which frustrates yoongi, because he’s back to square one it feels like. he rakes a hand through his hair, ruffling up the strands in aggravation. he tugs his hood higher over his head, adjusting his bag on his shoulder as he scrounges for a practice during instrument lessons. to distract himself, he goes over a list of things to do: he could work on piano, try for the harp again-- maybe work with the midi machine. there’s a lot he could do, and especially with the new additions in the building-- he’d probably have a lot better of a time working through it as well.

as he comes across a room, he pauses at the form inside. he blinks slowly, recognition settling over him. his eyes flicker over the expanse of instruments in the room as the door shuts behind him-- and he offers a smile to the other trainee. he doesn’t know her that well-- only a handful of words spoken, only a shared stage during the samsung show. yoongi doesn’t really know her at all, but he tries none the less.

while it’s not the hardest thing to fake being in love -- jiwon knows it comes no easier than faking happiness, even though, when it comes to that, jiwon had a bonafide phd in. but like most performances, the expressions one puts on in them are just as important of an aspect as the choreography or the song, itself. the expressions their faces play off of were the ones people saw if they weren’t completely thrilled with the dance routine. this was something jiwon had learned the hard way through all of chaerin’s scolding during her time in dance club all those years ago.
