#sf2017

When it comes to a party, Aera knows how to throw a good one. And if there’s any event that requires a celebration, it’s obviously their first official night as a group! Or, like, whatever, since everyone else is supposed to arrive soon... including, maybe, Eunji... seriously, as great as it was to have the opportunity to see Seonhwa and Kaori again, what was the point if Eunji was gonna be there?

But whatever-- she’s not Jeon Aera for nothing! So far, it’s just her and the five other final contestants at the dorms, with some of the girls relaxing in their rooms and others milling about. With the others set to arrive a little after seven, she’s feeling pretty restless herself... she does, after all, want to know more than maybe anyone who their last three groupmates were set to be.

It’s this impatience that has her pacing the living room, slumping upside-down against the back of the couch, sprawling out on the coffee table. This wait should be, like, criminal.

“yyyyyaaaaHHHHH...!!” She calls into the empty living room. “Come hang out with me before the filming, I’m bored!” 

Even though the grass only goes so far, Jeon Hamin and Jiae Park looks as if it goes on forever. The landscapers that Dahye had hired truly did an incredible job, Hyungmin thinks, to make a place that seems so intimate and yet so magical.

It’s one of his guilty pleasures to come here, to walk the short amount of time it takes from the headquarters to here. He’s had quite a few lunches here by himself, sitting and humming, planning and thinking, walking and sighing in the shade of the wisterias.

Tonight, that’s not his plan. No-- tonight, he’s invited one of his oldest friends to meet him by the rowboats, and when he spots her a short walk away, he smiles to himself. He doesn’t have many friends. It only makes him cherish the ones he does have that much more.

There’s not a lot to do nowadays. Perhaps she just got too used to having a busy schedule with the filming of W: Two Worlds, or perhaps she misses the chaos of Luxuri at their peak, running around from stage-to-stage. They got along then, and Juniper’s always in danger of getting lost in reminisce. So even the little things are capable of grabbing her attention now-- like Pop!Star Survival, which she’s religiously been tuning into every week.

Personally, she’s a Sunny stan, though Kaori is a close second-favorite. It was disapppointing when Chaem left early on in the show-- Juniper had seen quite a bit of potential there. Luxuri hardly talks to each other much now. She’d chattered Darae’s ear off about it before realizing that Darae had hung up at least five minutes earlier. Feelings hurt, she’d turned to their fearless leader, but nowadays nothing seemed to interest Victoria; the woman had simply hummed over the phone before making up an excuse about her schedule. She’d briefly considered calling Gaeul, but with her direct involvement in the show as a trainer, Juniper wasn’t about to risk getting spoiled; neither Hyeri nor Jin were available to talk, and Juniper hadn’t spoken to Holiday since 2014.

Hoping to find an outlet, she’d decided to head to Cho’s Chimaek. The chicken shop had some of the most delicious spicy wings and unlimited sides near Skyline Villa, so it’s now that she watches the TV with bated breath just as it cuts to a commercial break. She groans and wipes the sauce off her lips before turning to the other person at the bar.

We booked the wrong airport on our flight from San Francsico to LA so we had to take the Caltrain to San Jose. We missed our stop and got derailed for a minute. We rushed to our flight but made it on time.

Getting lost isn’t fun, but it’s not nearly as scary when we’re together! Awts
