“What kind of diet are you on?”

The question wasn’t something she had been expecting. It was truthfully a question that she just didn’t have the answer to, because she never really had a diet per say. Yura was someone that ate whatever she wanted, but it was always in moderation. Exercising was also a factor that followed along with it. As long as one followed all those mandatory necessities when it came to taking care of your body...dieting really wasn’t something that needed to be done. “You know what...” She slammed her hands down onto the table and stood up from her once comfortable position in the chair. Diets were something that always got her heated no matter what. “Don’t diet ever! Exercise, eat what you want in moderation, and sleep a lot! Don’t ever diet! Eat a lot of meat too, because meat is the best.”

“Be careful, or you’ll make the news so fast!”

With that all in mind, it still didn’t stop her from doing her weird dance down the sidewalk. They had finally gotten a chance to go out and spend some time together. Which brought Yura a ton of joy, because Sana was not someone she had gotten a chance to get super close to. The only thing was, that--Sana was still a rookie. So, her odd behavior and no cares at all of ruining her image was something that took newer idols a bit to get used to. She wasn’t one to ever hide herself and who she was, she always did her best to make sure she never had to change her image. She was who she was, and she was just blessed that people accepted that. 

Weird pabo and all.

“It’s all fine! It’s fine! Live a little!” As she spoke, she jumped over towards Sana and shook her butt in the direction of the other. Not being able to help but burst out into her strange laughter at her own actions.

일사칠

일. How old were you when you decided that you wanted to become an idol(/actor/model/etc.)?

It was actually around my teenage years, maybe even younger. I’m not entirely sure! But, around the time when I was going to art school I would also put pictures online of myself to try and get myself out there more. Girl’s Day was definitely my entire dream, and I’m so happy that it became a reality.

사. What do you think would you be if you weren’t a celebrity?

I’d probably either be working at a restaurant that sells meat, or pursuing a career in art. Either of the two would be perfect for me I think. (* she lets out a laugh as she swings her legs a bit in a childish manner) My two favorite things to be honest. Although meat does sound good right now.

칠. Do you have a dating ban in your contract? What do you think about dating bans?

Technically yes, because if most idols were to date it would need to be kept hidden. Not many contracts come without dating bans. Some of them different than others, but it’s still somewhat there. I think that it’s kind of restricting on your rights as a human, because if you fall in love you really can’t control it. You should always make sure to focus on your work first and foremost though, but dating is very nice. I don’t have anything against it!

Throwback Thursday ✿ Girl’s Day

[ivyura-blog]

mean girls. ( hmy & kah )

@tiffanyiv

“Where is it?!” 

Clothes were being thrown around absolutely everywhere. Her room was a mess, but she refused to stop looking for it. This was such a crucial belonging to Yura. What would she do if this got out? It literally could ruin her. No, it would ruin her. Especially if anyone she actually knew were to find it, and read it. Read what exactly?

Her journal.  

She needed that journal. She needed it right now, or else she’d go insane. The verge of a mental breakdown was drawing near, but she didn’t want anyone to know about her issue. If she told anyone, they’d wanna know what was so important that she had written down that she needed it right then and there. That was something she just couldn’t answer. It had all her secrets in it. All her thoughts about music, about people...just about everything. Everything that people didn’t need to know about her was in there. And, Yura knew how people were. She knew how curious they got and how they just couldn’t help but take a peak. 

“WHERE. IS. IT?!?!”  She practically screamed out the words into her empty dorm. And, thank god for that. If it wasn’t empty she would have had a lot of explaining to do. Well, she was going to either way because of the state of her room. For now she was safe from the questioning. With one kick to her clothes to toss them across the room and into the wall, she sat down with such anger and panic boiling within her--that she probably was going to lose it in just about any second.  

With a sigh, she reached her arm across her bed to grab her phone and pull it closer. Quietly going through it. For no in particular reason then to try and remember where she had been previously. Did she leave it on the plane?

Oh god...

[ivyura-blog]

As far as Yura knew, there wasn’t anything in particular that she needed to do today. Before she decided to go out though, she made sure to fish her phone out from being tangled up in her blankets, and call her members. Individually, because she wasn’t certain if they were in the dorm or not. Venturing out of her room and checking would have been a much quicker option, she was too busy setting up her playstation while she made those calls. What better way to spend a day then to play a game? There wasn’t anything else quite more exciting then that. In Yura’s mind, that is.

Once each phone call was made, and each time ended up confirming her suspicions of the busy members. She decided to finish up planting her crops for Harvest Moon, and actually go out and do something. Not that she really wanted to leave her gaming time--but she did need to go out and actually do some shopping. It had been a while since she did anything considered girly. It was about time she did so. 

One shoe, and then the other. Her bag in hand, and another quick once over in the mirror to make sure she wasn’t suspicious enough to be noticed right away, and she finally made her way out the door with all of the things she needed to get through the day. But, of course, since it was Kim Yura after all, she didn’t make it out with at least one complication. That complication? Her walking into the door with a loud ‘thud’. Her hand came up to rub her forehead with a slight wince, trying to at least subside some of the pin. “Sorry...door.” She mumbled at the inanimate object, bowing her head slightly towards it before she finally made it to the outside world. 

It took her a while, just because of the fact that she needed to pick a less busy place. And, for some reason, everyone thought shopping would be a great idea today, just like she did. She finally found a place though. A small little boutique on the corner of a street she walked down. A bright grin appeared on her features, reaching out to grab the door handle and pull it open with a skip in her step..possibly a small little act of her tripping on her way in, but that didn’t need to be mentioned. She bowed her head to the boutique owner at the front of the store who saw the whole display. An embarrassed grin wiping off the once oblivious smile, and she was off to one of the racks of clothes to look through. 

Not much time had passed before she heard someone attempting to get her attention. Her eyes closing almost immediately as a sense of dread washed over her. Did she really get spotted so soon? She could have sworn she had done a great job at hiding herself, but....there was no use in running away. All she could hope for was that it was someone who was friendly, and who wouldn’t give her current location away. 

Turning around as the internal battle raged on in her mind, she almost dropped the clothes in her hands as she saw who it was. She knew this guy, and she could have just smacked him right then and there for giving her a heart attack. Well...almost. “Oh my god! I can’t believe you just--” Yura’ brought her hand up to push at his shoulder to show how upset she was at his actions. “Seunghyun! You scared me! I thought you were a fan or something, and I was going to have to book it--or risk getting bombarded.”

Seunghyun had tried dragging Minhwan out with him for the day so he can buy a present for his mother, but the drummer had promptly refused, telling him that he had too many things to do that day. he just rolls his eyes as he recalls his best friend opting out, because what better things to do? As far as Seunghyun knows, he’s probably just going to sit in front of his computer all day, playing League.

He would have dragged his brother along, but Sehyun already had plans with some old friends, so at the end of the day Seunghyun just decides too go out on his own. He can always send out messages later, see who still wants to hang out–that is, unless he’s suddenly called out for random late night practice. Sometimes, he thinks, that’s just Jonghun’s way of gathering them all when he’s bored or lonely–not that he’s going to say that out loud in front of the leader. (Or maybe he will; depends on if he’s going to be able to pass it off as a joke.)

He’s already paying for his chosen gift at the counter (some nice blouse he’d found at a boutique inside the mall), and just waiting for his card to be processed when he spots someone vaguely familiar looking figure moving through the boutique’s racks. He keeps his eye on her until the employee behind the counter hands him back his card, and his purchase, and then he makes a beeline towards the female.

She isn’t really looking much at her surroundings, just focused on looking through the clothes–almost as if she’s doing her best not to catch any attention. She isn’t wearing much makeup at all either, but Seunghyun still recognizes her anyway. “Psst,” he says suddenly, after sneaking up behind the female, hoping to catch here off guard. ( @ivyura )

expectations. ( kah & kha )

@hyunadovi

Although very much unexpected, the phone call was still happily accepted on her end. Though what was being asked of her was a bit...strange. Considering how much she did think Hyuna was wonderful and very good at dancing already--she wasn’t quite understanding why her help was needed in this category. Didn’t Hyuna already dance well enough without her? But, upon hearing the fact that the other girl wanted to learn one of her dances was enough to make her realize what was actually going on. All she wanted was for Yura to teach her, because she enjoyed the song so much. That filled her with a lot of glee. Just because she also enjoyed Hyuna’s music in return.

After many compliments, and a meeting place as well as a time and date, plans were made. She was looking forward to it, and she honestly just could not wait. Not even at all. The week went by with just so much impatient on her part, that her members tried to beat her up quite a few times. More importantly, Hyeri tried to beat her up for leaving her in the dorm by herself on a weekend. But..what could she do? She had important matters to attend to.

It didn’t entirely hit her until she was pulling up to the studio that they had agreed to meet on. Bag in hand, and a water bottle tucked neatly between her arm, she took a deep breath of the fresh air before she made her way inside. That was when she realized what she was about to be doing, and the nervousness had slipped right in without her even noticing. To distract herself, she pulled out the Nintendo DS she brought to pass the time while she waited, and sat with her back right up against the mirror. Just so she could face the door and not be alarmed when Hyuna finally came in. 

With her DS clutched tightly in her hands, she started up her game and began her waiting process. As much as she knew she probably should have been warming up...she just saved that for when her friend came. Warming up together would make more sense. Or at least, that’s what she told herself. In all honesty, she just wanted to get past this one part in her game before she started their lessons. 

“Come on...come on...come on...dammit!” She murmured to herself, waving the DS around in the air angrily before she went right back to the game.

As tiring as all the music shows, and end of the year shows tended to make the idols--Yura loved them. She loved them because she was able to interact with people she would never get the chance to if she wasn’t around for it. Schedules were a cruel, cruel thing. They either were so packed that she didn’t have time to breathe, or there just so happened to be nothing at all to do and she had to watch her friends go off...and leave her there to entertain herself for god knows how long. That’s why when these times of the year came around she never missed a chance to join right in, even if she wasn’t performing. She probably could be found in the crowd somewhere jamming along to the music, and cheering on all the other idols that came on stage. 

It just so happened that, low and behold, she was able to have free time after the show. What better way to spend that time then to hang out with people she never got the chance to? Which explained her over excited demeanor while she stood there in front of the other girl. Rocking back and forth on her heels, and a bright smile still never failing to keep its place on her features. She finally was able to stand still after much internal struggle within herself. Which was basically just, her stomach reminding her how hungry she was yet again. 

“You’ve been working hard haven’t you? I think....you know what this calls for?” She outstretched her arms, spinning around just once before she jumped back to face the other girl again and point at her. “It’s break time.” Laughing her loud obnoxious laugh, she clapped her hands together and stood normally once again. “I’m actually free for the rest of the day, and I’m hungry. I’m so hungry that I’m probably going to die any second, so always remember me!” Her hands were placed against her stomach with a pout, before she realized that she was complimented back and she couldn’t help but smile again. “Do you think so? Thank you! I mean, I try my best to look good! I’m glad you noticed!” She flipped her hair in a playful manner before another spurt of laughter came out from her.

“Hmm...hmmm....HMM!” The more she made noises as if she were thinking, the louder she got and the more she laughed. “Let’s do something! Let’s get some food...let’s....sing some songs, let’s dance. Let’s play some video games. Anything! What are you up for?”

Achievement unlocked! Friendship. ( kah & smo )

@ivmino

Today would be good. No...it would be great. Yura had already decided as soon as she jumped out of bed this morning, and while she was completing her morning rituals. While she was sitting down playing video games....while she was reading manga...Even while she was eating breakfast at a time that shouldn’t have been acceptable to be eating breakfast, but she still did anyway. 

She still knew the day was going to be fantastic.

Why?

Because, she had plans. The person she’d be dragging into these plans wasn’t aware of it yet, but he’d know soon. Actually, he’d found out even sooner then she expected. She grabbed her phone as she placed all her dirty dishes into the sink and sat down in front of her computer to open up league. That competitive grin on her face started to appear while watching it open up, and she glanced down to type in the number of the person she wanted to contact before placing it against her to listen.

Her head tilted from side to side while the phone rang. The excitement boiling up within her until she finally heard the click and someone finally answering it. That’s when she had to put a hand over her mouth to conceal the excited squeal threatening to escape. “Oh! Hey! Hello! It’s Yura. Are you doing anything? I kinda wanna go out, and I thought you could come with me. You know, because we haven’t gotten any chances to spend time together.” 

How awkward of a greeting, but it definitely did work. Now all she needed to do was wait for his answer, and she did so--while starting up a match of league to past the time.

If there was one thing Yura loved more than anything in the world, it was the concept of being on stage with her favorite people. The lights shining on her. Them owning the stage as if it really did belong to them for those short three minutes that they gave it their all. She just couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather be doing. But, the thing that she also loved the most besides that? Getting some rest after such a long and strenuous day of working. If she were being honest, she couldn’t even remember the last time she had slept. Or the last time she’d ate anything. Which, on cue, her stomach growled the saddest growl in history, and that caused her to wrap her arms around her stomach with a pout forming on her lips. 

“It’s alright little guy! I’ll feed you. I promise!” Her fist raised up into the air in determination as she talked to herself. The whole thing was probably just such a strange sight to anyone that wasn’t familiar with her in the first place. She knew that by the looks she was getting from people that passed by her during the incident. There were just much more important things to deal with though. Things that she had to address right that instant or else her stomach would start to eat itself whole. 

And, that’s exactly what she did.

As soon as she stepped into the Girl’s Day dressing room, she ran straight to the table holding snacks and drinks for their hard work the staff always prepared for them. With a bow of her head and a bright smile in their direction to show how grateful she was, she picked up a granola bar and a bottle of water and made her way back out of the room as she munched on it. Glancing around at all the rooms and all the people while she walked towards the exit. Once she got there though, she came to a halt. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a familiar face, and if Yura didn’t greet the other it would probably drive her nuts quite a long while after. So, she turned right back around and marched over to the one and only, Kwon Mina. The girl that had just caused her to prevent herself from actually leaving. It had just been way too long since she’d gotten a chance to greet AOA, and Yura had to make the best of it.

“Mina! Kwon Mina! Hello, hello!” She called out as she got closer, bowing her head quite a few times to show her respect. “It’s so good to see you! The others too, of course.” Gesturing towards the other members while beaming, she bowed her head to them as well before she focused her attention on Mina. “How are you? We should catch up or something! I’m excited to see you! You look amazing.”
