she had never done something quite like this before. sure she had auditioned for things, tried out for things-- it wasn't her first rodeo getting rejected. but she didn't want to stop here, either. she knew she could do it, it would... just take a little... hard work. and resolve. both things she probably needed to work on.

she listens a bit, moving to nod some with a big smile on her face. "do you like it there? it seems to be doing you quite a bit of good. I can hardly recognize you-- in a good way, I mean." she says quickly, hoping he didn't take offense. "are the people nice?

she shouldn't have been so surprised he was so positive about it, but she still offers a soft shake of her head at his words. she sighs instead, before giving him a look. "really? you think i could get into lime? i don't know... i sent something in but they weren't interested. i auditions for sr, too." she's quiet for a long moment, humming a bit as she moves about with him. "is it hard? i'm not sure i have the resolve."

noel knows he’s lucky. there’s people who audition for multiple companies multiple times, for some people it takes years to get accepted into a company, some people have to go through rejection after rejection, noel didn’t get to experience all of that. noel joined a survival show only a few months after realizing he liked to dance, and sure he got scolded a lot, sure he placed last time after time, but in the end he got offered a contract. noel had never even auditioned for a company and yet he was still somehow a trainee. he couldn’t imagine what it’s like for other hopeful ones, he was lucky.

“well i, to be honest, don’t know the requirements to getting into the different companies” he shrugs, “i wasn’t that good when i became a trainee at lime, i kind of think they took me in due to my potential”. “don’t let rejection get you down though, a lot of my fellow trainees in lime have gotten rejected a million times from a million companies” he runs a hand through his orange hair, “wherever you end up, i’ll support you” he shows a smile to the other.

ooc.

just a warning i'll be gone for this week! i'm working on revamping my lovely girl here-- no major changes, but my muse hasn't been the strongest and i definitely want to change that, so i'm seeing if a short break will help! thank you all for being so patient. i hope you guys have an amazing holiday!

it wasn't much, something simple enough to show she was thinking about him. should she have been? probably not, but she was, and despite trying not to, there was a part of her that knew she was headed for trouble. the mug sits in the small bag, gingerbread themed. she hoped it would give him an excuse to drink out of it, at least.

she had to give it to him eventually, but hadn't seen him in a while. of course, she didn't have it with her at the market either, but as she spots him, there's a small wave she gives him from her way, a hand through dark hair-- freshly colored. would he notice? probably not. "hey, i didn't know you'd be here." she confesses, offering a small smile in return to him. "i was... i was actually going to message you."

usually jaehyun isn't the type to show his emotions in his eyes or his mannerisms. however jaehyun is also usually not the type to fall in love with his roommate.

the markets were beautiful and it was hard to not get caught up in the winter fairy tale wonder stories all these western movies presented. especially with how much of a romantic he knew daeho to be too.

just that there was nothing romantic about their friendship- courtesy of yours truly.

so when jaehyun walked up to place an order for them, leaving daeho waiting for him and queueing himself up, he didn't expect anything odd when he spotted dana and offered her a smile in greeting.

[danaxbe]

dana can't help but giggle. not at her, persay, but she definitely wasn't perfect on that scale either-- it's why a blends of greens had been her choice of color to decorate her room. but really it worked perfectly, just like most things with jueun, things were just falling into place.

"i like grey. it's neutral, but it goes with everything." she stated with a happy smile, looking around a bit at some options, before her eyes light up. "oh pink would look beautiful! or purple. i think they both fit you." she admit before she thinks. oh, right the common areas. she hums a bit in thought, looking around. "i think blue goes well. it's perfect for all the seasons, and it can bright, and easy to work with. plus it goes with both of our rooms. my room has...." she sees a mushroom lamp, and skips a few steps towards it to highlight the green. "has colors like this."

back when jueun was younger, she had dreams of how she would decorate her house once she lived alone. however, now that she had actually moved out, she found that putting those thoughts into action was tougher than she imagined. she took a look at the pillow dana pointed in her direction before pursing her lips together.

"yeah, i've always been a bit of a klutz. plus, i definitely don't trust myself to clean up after everything." with a hum, she took another look around the interior store. "that's why most of my room is grey to begin with. it's like i can get it messy without it looking too messy. black stuff always gets too much dust on it, so i felt that grey was just right. i'm like goldilocks!"

"i've always loved the colors pink and purple," jueun admits with a chuckle. "what about you? any colors you'd like in our common living spaces?" jueun was lucky to meet a roommate like dana. she's heard some horror stories from her college peers, but dana was a delight to live with.

"ah, thank you, you're kind." she says honestly, brushing hair behind her ear as she looks up at him. "Oh Mattheo." She repeats as if letting herself get used to it, but she hears the nickname and nods. "I like both. Which one do you prefer?" She questions as she adjusts her shirt, before she hears him and offers a deeper blush on her cheeks. "Oh, I... well I've done all sorts of things since I was younger. I was on the dance team in high school, but it's been a while since I've done anything like that. "You're pretty good, too, you know." She compliments.

this was from a group she was growing to like. so many of her classmates had been into this sort of thing, and when she took up dancing again, it was inevitable that there would be more of the popular songs on the list. she had learned this solo, too, in the confines of a rented studio, but it was proving to pay off here. and he's not that bad of a partner, which makes the experience even more fun. when it's over, she's blushing a bit, pushing back hair that had fallen out of place, looking over at him with a tiny bow and smile at him as well, before sticking out her hand for him to shake if he wanted. "ah, thanks, you too! uh... i'm dana. i probably should have said that before all of that."

things in korea weren’t going as quickly as mattheo thought they would. mattheo thought he quickly would’ve had a lot of friends, he hadn’t expected that he still wouldn’t be a trainee. it was a bit difficult that he still didn’t have a lot of friends, that he was still getting rejected from every company he auditioned to. but he was optimistic, he’d get there one day. for now he would continue practicing his singing and he’d continue trying his best to make friends.

“i like your name” the blonde shows a broad smile on his lips. “my name is mattheo! though if that’s too difficult to pronounce, most people call me dal” ‘most people’ aka, his colleagues and the children he teach. “have you been dancing for long? you did really well out there!” and his smile continues staying on his lips.

anyone have a lil crush on me yet

[danaxbe]

of course, dana was apprehensive moving from living with her parents her whole life to moving into a whole apartment on her own, especially after the move to seoul was already so much. she was worried she wouldn't mesh, which would be the story of her life, but upon finding jueun, she was actually learning that.. well maybe this all couldn't be so bad. the decorating was turning out to be one of the best parts!

"oh, i think a pop of color would be nice. what's your favorite?" dana asks, looking around briefly before focusing her attention back on jueun, glancing at eccentric lamp with a tilt of her head before she nods. "i always think of blue with winter. you can't go wrong. you can do white, but are you worried about spilling something on it? like... this?" she says, pointing to the soft fluffy pillow.

"i was thinking of like a blue rug. how does that sound?"

it was only after jueun started living on her own that she realized how much fun it could be decorating a house. of course, she didn't completely live on her own, but it's not like she ever intruded any of the common living spaces with dana. she simply wanted to be able to do something with her own room.

"or would that clash with my bed covers? because that's a little on the neutral side, right?" she was referring to the greyish bed covers, which weren't her number one choice but simply what she brought from home. nevertheless, this was probably no big deal to other people, but she loved spending time on all sorts of aesthetics.

she picked up a cushion that had caught her eye before putting it back down because of its texture. she wanted something softer. "i know it sounds ridiculous that i'm doing this because of the season change, but i feel like i can definitely make my room feel more like winter with these changes!"

isa bubble update

[danaxbe]

really, its her digging her own grave, but it's almost like she can't really stop herself. she hadn't allowed herself the distraction of boys or crushes in california-- each time she did, something would happen to ultimately make her stray away from her feelings, and she had learned early on it just wasn't worth the trouble, frankly.

here though, she finds her ears tinting a bit, hearing him and glancing around. she wasn't picky, so at least there could be something they could find to accommodate him. it was the least she could do.

"how about hot chocolate?" she muses, pointing to the nearby stand. "i could always go for some of that." she admits, offering a sweet smile his way.

[ ♠ ]

she is cute, jaehyun can admit that. after all he's not a blind man. precisely because he isn't though and sees her gentle nature and fair looks is he convinced that she chose the completely wrong guy to crush on. aside from the fact he would be incapable of upholding a stable relationship, he also simply isn't the type to fall in love.

she truly could do so, SO much better.

and yet he finds himself unable to reject her, not wanting to witness her bust into tears or worse- slap him across the face in public. so he holds onto her and guides them forward in a leisure stroll instead.

"hmm I can pretty much eat whatever. not the biggest fan of cinnamon or pumpkin though."

"is it hard? i'm not sure i have the resolve."

[danaxbe]

she can't help the light blush that's coating her cheeks, biting her lip in an attempt to not seem so... shy about these things. usually people feigned interest for a short time before they grew bored of her-- even people back home had said somehow despite being in so many things, she was the least interesting of her siblings and she tried to ignore how much that stung. "oh um, ice skating actually. i sort of miss it, but i haven't found a place around here." she admitted with a soft shrug before she hears him and giggles.

"i'd never make fun. i think that's... sweet, actually. do you have a favorite?" she asks, now truly curious about the blonde before her. though at his next words she offers a nervous chuckle, but nods anyway. it was about time to get out of her comfort zone. "mm... maybe... dancing? singing? i don't know... seems like a pretty big thing about here." she offers before she nods. "sounds perfect. i'll even get you a discount on tutoring, too."

stevie gives a little hum, raising his brows as he nods. “there we go! that’s awesome! wow. a little bit of everything.” he says, awed. “i mean, you gotta try everything once! is there one you liked more than others? and wait, you said…skating? right? what kind of skating?” a fellow skateboarder could be cool. “i like movies! who doesn’t?” he straightens up. “don’t make fun of me, but i like romance movies. romcoms especially. and animated ones…coming of age is good, too. always makes me cry though.”

“sure! i’d be down. you gonna leave it up to me?” he gives a little hum of thought, exaggerated and loud, fighting back a grin. “well…you did give me a lot to work with. is there anything in particular you’d wanna try out and do again? from everything you dipped your toes into.” maybe he can plan something around that. if he has free reign, then why the hell not? “maybe next time we meet, i’ll come with a list or something. we can figure something out. gotta shake things up in life, y’know?”

for @beseolhyun

she was still getting used to the hang of everything here in seoul, even now. not only was the culture different than san diego, but even more so than that, was the people. the learning curve was sharper than she would have liked, but she was sure she was handling it well. she had gained friends, lost some, and navigated quickly about what it really meant, especially since she was getting into dancing again.

right now, she brushes a loose bang, a faint reminder to give her hair a needed refresh as she ordered an iced americano, offering a polite smile to the cafe worker. she searches for a good table, sighing a bit before finding one in corner. it doesn't take long before she's sitting down at it, and a moment later getting back up to retrieve her goodies, taking a happy sip with a hum.

The chorus starts quickly, and there's a tiny part of her that's grateful that she learns as quickly as she does, and her stomach does a flip. She danced in public before, being on a whole dance team tended to come with that, but this was a little bit different and she wasn't the most used to doing it with a partner. He speaks again, nodding a bit with a soft smile and a bit of a nervous chuckle that leaves her lips. She liked the song, and the choreography that came with it, so it's easy to follow along. She was a hair nervous about dancing with a stranger, too, but she tries to think about it too much, mouthing the words with a bit of ease before the duo part comes, she offers a smile at him as she starts dancing his way.

this wasn’t mattheo’s first random play dance event. though the male truthfully still sucked at dance, he’d take any opportunity to dance, he believed that events like these would improve his dance skills, practice makes perfect, or something… plus, mattheo had convinced himself in his mind that events like these would include more people that were interested in becoming an idol, and matt was desperate to find more people with the same interest as him: becoming an idol.

mattheo isn’t sure why he knows the duo part of this song, because he never dances with others, even when he joins random play dance events he’s usually by himself, usually not suddenly dancing with a stranger. but here he was, suddenly dancing with a stranger, perhaps learning this dance was meant to be, if he was lucky, the stranger would turn into a friend. he offers her a smile before he joins in on the dance, and the ending comes quicker than expected “you did so good!” the blonde says with a bright smile.
