MELTING POINT : @lucielxbe

christmas music blaring, festive lights blinking, joyous crowds slipping and sliding on ice — at the centre of it all is none other than song hansol dressed to the nines in his oversized fur coat ( faux, unbeknownst to him ). he shouts something unintelligible, laughs at something incomprehensible, throws his hands in the air and gets everyone to start clapping to the beat of the music.

it’s only when he spots luciel, benched, that he stops and skates over.

“still workin’ on that?” asks the guy who rushed to put on his skates so he could get onto the ice faster. sure, maybe it’s a safety hazard, but he’s left worse unchecked and he’s still alive, so it’s fine. “here, let me.”

he doesn’t rush with luciel. wouldn’t want the prince to twist his ankle. “i don’t do this for just anyone, y’know,” hansol muses, lacing up the last skate. “only the ones i care to make a good impression with.” he glances up to give a playful wink, lips curling into the faintest smirk as he knots the shoelace and ties it tight.

* zero one

a vybe mission starter for @lucielxbe

being able to perform at prestigious events like the busan asia one festival is something that he had never really imagined he would be able to do. perhaps it's because his dreams had been shattered a few years earlier from his old company dissolving, but it's something that hadn't even been on his dreams list when he had been thinking about how he wanted his career to go in the future.

but this feels different. the cheers of the fans when they step onto the stage, and hearing the fanchants as they perform their debut song is such a crazy experience that haneul wishes they could do this more.

maybe one day they would be able to hold their own concert in a big stadium like this.

"let's take a selfie together," haneul says, finding luciel backstage once they've finished performing.

"we need to promote the 01 line more," he adds, grinning once he's gotten his phone from their manager. "and fans love getting backstage stuff, especially if they recognize our outfits from the performance!"

looking good

there was so much going on now that noel had debuted, his schedule hadn’t gotten the slightest bit slower or empty, it was practice after practice, and then they had other stuff than practice to do as well. noel was enjoying it all, having fun with dancing this much, and though the fansigns had slowed down, they still had time to interact with fans, like at music festivals.

“i can’t lie, it surprises me we’re joining 2025’s myk festa kpop concert, it feels like we just debuted, are we really big enough to perform here?” he tilts his head to the side as he talks to luciel ( @lucielxbe ) . “how do i look by the way?” he takes a step back “i still have to get used to being styled by someone else, though i’d say, professionals definitely do my make up better than i do it myself” he pouts “you look good though, if i was a fan seeing you like this, you’d instantly become my bias”.

* ❁┆ team building

there's some tension on her team for the finale. she feels like that's an understatement, too. for one, ren hates two members of the team. he's managed to keep it together, but nayoung knows him and knows he's barely holding it together. siwoo and jay also seem to be good friends whose powers combined may lead to disaster if not handled properly. she's pretty sure luciel and siwoo still have some sort of beef, too. all in all, it's a mess, and it shows in their performance. it's a total lack of synergy, and nayoung has little patience for it all. so she does what she usually does: tries to solve the problem as soon as possible.

nayoung knows it won't be easy, and doesn't expect her idea to fix everything. she just hopes it helps. she knows there's a possibility that it'll backfire, but nayoung is also aware that sometimes confrontation is necessary to work through any negative feelings toward one another. if this activity ends up starting a fight, it's probably a fight that needs to happen to clear the air and let the group as a whole move on and focus more effectively.

naturally, not everyone was happy about the exercise, but they ended up relenting and agreeing to participate. she had them draw pieces of paper numbered 1-7 to determine the order they sit in in the circle.

fate would have it be that some of the team members with the biggest problems with each other are seated together. luciel is seated on her left, and siwoo next to him, followed by inho. next is jay, then ren, and seira rounds out their circle, seated on nayoung's right.

"okay, let's go left in the circle. say something nice about the person to your left, and share something you're proud of yourself for related to next gen," she reminds everyone. "i'll start."

"i'm proud that i was able to help two teams take first place this season," she says, and she hopes it doesn't sound like she's bragging, or taking all the credit for it. "and of the team members, of course," she adds for good measure.

next, she has to say something nice about luciel - or jihyun, as she should probably call him. "i like that jihyun is good at handling criticism and applying it quickly, even if it's hard to hear." she's talking about her calling him forgettable. he certainly took what she said to heart, and earned praise from the judges last episode.

"okay, your turn," she smiles at him, and it might actually be uncharacteristically warm.

THE MOST AMBITIOUS CROSSOVER IN CINEMATIC HISTORY with @lucielxbe @besiwoo @inhobe @bejaeyoung @renxbe @beseira

[besiwoo]

happy debut // starter for @lucielxbe

he hadn't quite expected it, the role of leader. in truth, siwoo hadn't quite expected debut at all. he still can't believe it, how far he'd come and how quickly he'd gotten here. he thinks he's blinked his eyes once, and now he's found himself here. it's a little odd, if anything – just months ago he'd been on next gen, and now here he was, about to debut. he's not alone in though, luciel's trajectory had been somewhat similar – someone who was also on next gen and now debuting with him.

their story had been a little funny; siwoo disliking luciel for what felt like similarities, only to think of him as someone he'd trust in the group. and now he was thankful that he was debuting with luciel. perhaps it made the journey a little less lonely, a little less jarring.

it's a little late into the day, and while he's well aware of the fact that he can head back to the dorms anytime, he decides to stay a little later, only to see luciel doing the same. he smiles, walking over to the older boy before he slides across the floor, exhausted from having spent the day practicing for the upcoming christmas concert.

"hey hyung," he says, and he's glad that it's just the two of them in this practice room. for a moment siwoo thinks he can relax. "happy debut to us," he finally says, lifting his head up to look at the ceiling. "i still can't believe it," he continues, voice a little softer. "we're debuting."

right after seeing some of the lime boys performing at the axis halloween party, chaerin made the guess that the chosen people were getting ready for their debut. it had come to a surprise when she was approached to join them for their next stage, but she was thankful for the opportunity given to her.

there wasn't that much choreography for her to go over, but she did want to go through the formations with some of the members, which is why she was in the practice room with luciel today. "i'm debating when i should walk out before my first line in the chorus. like should i be out here waiting or walk out as soon as i start singing?"

it didn't seem like a big deal, but chaerin wanted to do her best for this performance. while the focus would be on the boys, she knew that this would be a great opportunity for her to make a name for herself in front of some company officials. "what do you think? like i don't want to be awkwardly standing there as you guys are singing your lines. of course, i can if that looks better, but i'm just not sure."

taking language classes as a trainee was expected, but jueun didn't think she'd be taking japanese lessons. while she wasn't fluent in japanese, with her mother being a japanese interpreter, she's picked up on the language quite well.

of course, the lessons will definitely help, but she always imagined that the company would prioritize english first or whatever. perhaps these companies were starting to shy away from the western market now and thinking of focusing in japan first.

"hey," she whispered to her fellow trainee beside her. she remembers luciel from next gen, of course, but with them being signed to different companies, it wasn't until lessons like this that she got to see him. "if i end up snoring in class or whatever, do you mind pinching me awake?" she asked with a chuckle.

jueun wasn't actually planning on falling asleep, but if this was going to be a beginner's class, there was no doubt she'd already know the material.

[bexmimi]

she had been bored, way too bored, that she ended up bugging @lucielxbe after some thinking to accompany her on a little not-date, date and some much needed fun after dealing with her brother's constant nagging about returning home sometime to try and mend things with their parents. she was not doing that by the way.

grabbing hold of the others hand, mimi smiles brightly at the other as she swings their arms back and forth, making their way down the sidewalk and towards their first destination. "so~ what do you think we should buy first? i'm thinking some new outfits, oh maybe even some new shoes?" she rambles on before looking over at the other, the smile never once leaving her face as she speaks.

"or would you rather eat first then do everything else after? you know, sort of like 'walking off' the food after we've filled ourselves up?" yeah she was a talker, though she thought that was one of her many charms that she had, at least that's what she believed and she was sticking to it!

( song: mixtape: time out by stray kids )

“oh shit,” stevie whistles, already paddling out to where luciel’s board went flying up in the air. concern holds onto him in a grip until he sees luciel’s head bob out of the water. the other has laughter all over his face that has stevie snickering as he glides over to him. “you good, man? that fall looked rough.” 

luciel sputters up a cough, but he’s laughing too. stevie’s smile builds two fold, and the two busy themselves with dragging luciel’s board back. “lost my footing,” luciel explains, expression sheepish. “and i wobbled on the turn and well…” he sighs, the sound drowned out by the water around them. “well, you see how that went.”

“you did really good up until there, though.” stevie points out. “most people don’t even make it to the curve. i think you’ve got a decent chance in the tournament just based on that.” surfing is something that takes trial and error, a long learned lesson of patience and risk that he wouldn’t trade for the world. 

at luciel’s expression of uncertainty, stevie paddles closer. “or we can blame it on the wave! it screwed you over. the next one will be smooth sailing!” stevie sits up a bit, grinning when he can see the ghost of a smile build on the other’s face. “c’mon, i’ll even do it with you. i can lead it, if you prefer.”

“no,” luciel shakes his head, sitting up on his own board and gearing himself up. “i can do it.” and he does sound a lot more confident then he looked a few moments prior. he’s already looking out for the next wave, and his form looks so sure of himself that stevie wants to shed a tear. they grow up so fast. 

he’s wiping away a stray tear (he didn’t actually tear up, seriously! it was just a little seawater!) when luciel points out to the distance. “what about there?” he asks, and stevie doesn’t have time to properly respond, quickly going to follow the other as he peers out to where he gestured. when he sees the wakes and the size of them, stevie grins. 

“hooh! now we’re talking!”

camera work starter for @lucielxbe

while kou, surprisingly, is usually knowledgeable in the world of fun facts and tidbits, he doesn't know much about film if at all. his mother is a painter, and his father an author. most of his life he'd spent surrounded by instruments, and the only time he'd actually recorded himself was months ago for his sr media audition.

he has no desire to be come a director, but still, he has to figure out a workshop to take and amongst the bunch of them that they were introduced to, he'd decided that maybe this workshop on camerawork and lights might be the best.

after all, if he's going to debut and become an idol, he'd have to at the very least know the basics, right? it would be terrible if he went around with minimal knowledge of these things.

he settles into his seat, staring at the camera on the table blankly, when he notices a familiar figure walking in. ah, he thinks, touma's buddy.

he knows luciel, has met up with him a few times, but knows him better as the guy that's oddly close to touma. he looks up and waves. "hey luciel," he greets, and without thinking, he continues, "touma isn't here." oh. of course touma isn't here. they're in the axis building. kou blinks. he didn't think that one through much, if anything it had come out as a habit.

"oh, nevermind. i think i wasn't thinking," he says. "you wanna be my partner?" he says, patting the empty seat next to him.

* strawberry kiwi

for @lucielxbe

he'll be honest—the drinks had turned out way cuter than he thought they would. he knows his knife skills are good, but it still kind of exceeded his expectations as he finishes putting them together. he had some ice cups from the convenience store and he was planning to add ice once everyone had arrived back at the dorm so that they wouldn't be watered down before they were in the hands of the other member.

running through the ingredients again, he hopes that it's to everyone's taste. strawberry kiwi juice, with some cider to make it fizzy. he had avoided citrusy flavours for luciel's sake, but the drink itself is very pleasantly green.

"the strawberries were really easy to cut into hearts, by the way," haneul comments, pleased with the presentation of the drinks and he turns to glance at his fellow leader for this month.

"are you almost done with the snacks?" he asks, placing the drinks onto the side table they had set up, having decided that a puzzle with 1000 pieces would probably do best on the floor and they didn't want to have other things there that could be knocked over. "the ddeokbokki is almost ready too, i think it just needs to simmer for a little bit longer. it should be done by the time everyone comes home!"

[noelxbe]

artistic

noel had grown fond of his fellow project green members, had begun enjoying spending time with them outside of practice and the dorm. when noel was put in the group together with the others, majority he had barely spoken to, barely knew, now they’d been living together for some time and noel saw them all as friends, very excited to debut along them.

though they were busy practicing, noel made sure to take breaks, a lot of his breaks consisted on doing things alone, like going out to eat alone, ice skating alone. but he also enjoyed taking breaks along friends, and when he and luciel ( @lucielxbe ) had ended up deciding they would be going to an art museum together, noel was excited about that.

“did you know i draw myself?” he turns to look at luciel “it’s been a while though, i’m too busy at the moment”. he turns to once again to look at the painting “i’m not at all at this level though” he points at the painting. “and you? do you draw or paint?”.

[beseira]

be a rapper

seira finds herself struggling a lot, she auditioned with the only thing she’s good at: rap, just to make it through and remember she needed more than rap if she wanted to stay. she was a poor dancer, even worse singer. she’d been asking a lot of people for help, the coaches, the few familiar faces, strangers, she needed all the help she could get. she was thankful to everyone willing to help her, she’s not sure what she would’ve done without everyone’s help.

she sits down, looking over the lyrics, she looks up, a yawn escaping her lips, that’s when she notices someone who seems to be struggling with the rap, with all the help seira has gotten, the least she could do is help someone else. so she stands up, walks over and sits next to the stranger “do you need help with the rap part?” she tilts her head, smile on her lips.

sending it to... @lucielxbe

[betouma]

it’s time to let loose and have fun!

touma’s glad to turn off his brain for a change and actually focus on having fun. honestly, he doesn’t think he has the classical ‘summer bod’ with how much he had been ( internally ) moping around lately, but who says there’s only one type of summer bod? he’s not going to let that get in the way of enjoying himself! this time, he’s going to effectively ignore the logical part of his mind and let loose… whatever that means.

in an effort to do exactly that, touma buys himself a water gun. whether he’ll find any use for it after the waterbomb festival itself is hard to say… but he’ll ponder over the consequences of his impulsive purchases later. for now, he’s gathering up some water into his newly acquired toy, then pointing it towards @lucielxbe without a single warning.

and then—pew pew! he shoots! straight into luciel’s chest.

“one shot, one kill!” touma exclaims, smiling proudly like he’s a dog who just learned a new trick. “you should get a water gun too, it’ll be fun! and then you can get your revenge on me.” touma smiles, already allowing his worries to melt away in this moment. he’s also excited for the upcoming performances later.

what he’s surprised about is the fact that luciel is actually here. this doesn’t seem like his type of scene.

“did you even know this festival exists before i told you about it?” touma questions, curious.
