"big... i believe we're decent enough?" luciel throws a soft chuckle. he hasn't been looking at social media much, or ego-surfing and all that. he's never been an internet guy... though the social media workshop he took months ago was eye-opening. attending and squeezing in those monthly workshops paid off.

when noel takes a step back, luciel looks at him from head to toe, then gives a thumbs up to the older boy. "fresh and attractive," he comments. just like their concept. "professionals always have an eye for detail, though... these styles of clothing still takes a while to get used to," he laughs lightly again when he hears what noel said next. "but will i remain your bias forever?" a tease.

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”.

[lucielxbe]

playing games with him, toying with his dark heart. they’re not entirely in a private place, so luciel suppresses the urge to get even closer. at some other part of his brain, he still makes sure that there’s no other eyes on them. “say congratulations to me?” he asks, pleads almost.

it was a childish promise made a few months ago, and yet baek seonghan kept it. a silly promise, with memories of a heated bite. it’s all healed up on his neck by now… what a pity. it was only a wound that could heal, and not a scar that could fade.

the boy listens to those simple compliments. he’s expected this, and yet he couldn’t help but to smile at those empty praises. it’s so seonghan-like of him - to fulfil a promise heartlessly as cruelty spills from his lips, with that pretty face.

it starts falling on deaf ears as luciel fixates his gaze on seonghan’s face a little too much. he’ll probably point that out later, make fun of it perhaps. luciel only snaps out of it with the sudden question. he blinks again at that. “you… want me to leave?” he asks softly. “if i stayed, would you stay with me then?” this and that doesn’t makes sense; but when has their relationship ever made sense?

“if i leave, you’ll leave…” luciel starts mumbling to himself. seonghan mentioned it before, about leaving him in the darkness. but he looks good in the dark, right? no one else can see him that way. he’ll coil a little chain around his ankle, let seonghan wait for him in the shadows, so when luciel returns from the light - seonghan would be there to greet him.

“but even if i leave, i’ll come back to you.”

seonghan doesn't hold anything sacred—there's nothing in this world that's worth a sacrilegious meaning to someone like him. at the end of the day, there's nothing tangible forcing him to stay where he is, surrounded by excited fans eager to see the faces of rookie entertainers destined to take the world by storm. still, seonghan chooses to fulfill the promise that he made with luciel, despite there being no obligation for him to.

he doesn't have the passion required to comment on the performance, too many bright lights directed towards the stage, blinding him. seonghan is a consumer by default, no accolades of his own to critique or compliment what he's watching and listening to. there's a cascade of warm colors over their heads, orange and yellow mixed into one with a dash of green; what he assumes is a dynamic entrance into the industry coupled with a playful greeting.

how fitting, seonghan thinks as he listens to the loud cheers of the audience, welcoming them with open arms. a spotlight hangs over each member, landing on luciel eventually, the boy who managed to wrestle his way out of the dark and into the light.

and yet, seonghan remains, shrouded by the shadows. like he always was, always will be.

luciel has no reason to, but he'll seek seonghan out again tonight. this time, seonghan finds him beforehand, faced with the back of his childhood friend in an area too secluded for a rookie idol. just then, his phone vibrates in his pocket—so he picks it up and says, "looking for me?"

seeing the other boy surprised isn't anything new, it's something he keeps pulling out of luciel, to an almost unhealthy degree. "do you need my congratulations?" he retorts back, kickstarting yet another game of cat and mouse in the form of verbal conversation. he smiles, elusive as ever, returning his phone to his pocket. "someone made me promise, so i came."

what else is there to say? regardless, luciel looks at him as if he's searching—craving—for seonghan's approval. "it was a really bright and energetic stage. everyone seem to be enjoying themselves." generic words, generic compliments.

"are you going to leave me behind for the stage, too?" he questions with a smile, followed by the crinkle of a soft laugh. "it suits you."

[lucielxbe]

luciel is still studying amongst his idol activities, but nothing much has changed. he still can study online, and submit his work online. he's long since quitted his only part-time job since before joining project green. he wonders if images of him during his part-time job would surface sometime soon... maybe it's already floating around, who knows? the internet is a scary place.

"i can hear it well, it's OK~" luciel makes an OK sign with his hand. he's getting used to being called by his birth name during his idol activities, but it's still going to take some time to get used to being referred as that by his groupmates. "nervous for later?"

vybewave ♰⸝⸝ for @noelxbe

it has truly been busy, the amount of workload is horrendous, there’s hardly much time to work on hobbies and all that. they can’t afford it, especially since they recently debuted. life goes on nevertheless, it’s just been busier now. the life of being on stage, facing the camera almost all the time—something luciel has thought about in the past few months, became real. he’s used to smiling, at the very least. amongst music show promotions, fansigns and photoshoots; vybe is part of a lineup for the trendwave concert in incheon. it’s a little different than music shows, but it’s the same— rehearsals, and then the actual concert later on during the day. “is the mic working, hello~?” luciel speaks into his mic. “noe- wook, is it working?” he turns to him. it’s still odd to call him by another name now, after all those months of being together.

noel honestly wasn’t aware how busy idol life would be. noel had always been a busy man, originally handling school and multiple jobs, then school, trainee life and multiple jobs, then it switched to work and trainee life. when noel joined project green, he said goodbye to his part-time jobs, thinking then he would be less busy, but no, he had basically been more busy. there wasn’t much time to relax, especially now that they had debuted, it was schedule after schedule.

noel turns to luciel, almost runs a hand through his hair until he remembers it’s been styled and he can’t ruin that. “it’s working fine lu-, uh jihyun” noel still hasn’t gotten completely used to the stage names. a lot of people call noel ‘wook’, though he usually prefers noel, he figures from now on, he’ll hear even more ‘wook’s. “and what about mine jihyun? one, two, three, does it sound fine?”.

[lucielxbe]

shadows around the spotlight ♰⸝⸝ for @beseonghan

their first debut stage was over, just like that. singing, dancing, and smiling for the world to witness. it’s hurting luciel’s head in a strange way — the dopamine, perhaps? it’s odd. his hands are trembling ever so slightly as he looks back at the audience, leaving the stage with the rest of the vybe members. his eyes looks for someone in particular; luciel knows where he is, he saw him, but he wants to talk to him. he knows he’s being a little greedy, but so what?

was i great? was i good? did you liked it? what did you think of me?

a call. luciel needs to call seonghan, desperately. after debut celebrations are over, after the staff and fellow trainees congratulated them and all, when they have the slightest bit of time… luciel calls seonghan.

his dear, childhood friend.

when the line goes through, luciel’s eyes almost shines. “seonghan—” then he pauses at what comes after. he hears seonghan’s voice through the phone, and then right behind him. luciel turns around, dumbfounded and shocked. oh, right. of course he could come in here. usually he would had furrowed his eyebrows, say something along the lines of: are you making fun of me, by picking up my call even though you’re here?

but right now, he could say nothing about that. luciel unconsciously closes the distance, tilts his head slightly and presses his lips. “you came.” if luciel ever had dog traits on him, his tail would had been wagging to no end. “are you going to congratulate me?”

[lucielxbe]

a blink of surprise at the sudden change of directions. luciel initially doesn’t feels too steady about it, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly. yet he quickly adapts to the new pace, relaxing his stiffened muscles.

he’s been thrown a barrage of questions; a clearly, vehement attempt at not just peeking into his life, but to understand. luciel briefly entertains the thought of answering every question.

“my name… i thought it was pretty,” luciel hums. there’s nothing too special about it. he looked into an english book, and there happened to be a character with the name luciel. that is all there is to it. “did you forgot about my korean name? it’s ji-hyun…~” he enunciates. it’s not a secret that he chooses to go by his english name.

then he glances into hansol’s eyes. “contradictory, you say… haha. i suppose i am.” but for how much hansol is trying, he feels a little pitiful for the other boy.

just a little. “it’s just associated with someone who makes fun of me. i won’t tell you who, though.”

“uh-uh. you don’t get to do that.”

hansol tightens his hold on luciel’s hands and swivels them in a half-circle so luciel’s now the one skating backwards. it’s a more difficult maneuver since he won’t be able to see where he’s going, but that’s the point. you’ll have to trust me, it’s meant to say.

“i told you a looot ‘bout me, so now it’s your turn.”

a glint in his eyes is the only warning he gives before he starts pushing luciel to go faster, all while rapid-firing questions.

“why is your name luciel? what does it mean? est-ce français? is that a name you were given, or do you have a korean one too? why is thinking a luxury to you? what is it that you don’t wanna think about? aren’t you being a little contradictory? you say you don’t dare to think about it, but you’re wearing scents as a reminder. so which is it?”

hansol abruptly stops. the momentum brings him a step too close.

“and what’s your deal with rain?”

[lucielxbe]

seonghan looks tired, even more than usual. it’s expected that idol training is draining, even for someone like him. somehow, luciel feels a pleasant surprise seeing this kind of look. “oh, that… mmh, sort of?” he’s not completely lying, he does have chocolate leftovers for other people. he doesn’t talks about how he used his precious, free time to make these chocolates just for him. seonghan wouldn’t believe him, anyway. he’ll just make fun of him. because he’s cruel and foolish.

then the smile on luciel’s lips twitches just a little, barely noticeable—to the regular person, that is. it’s not going to miss seonghan’s eyes, whenever the boy leans into his ears for a whisper, there’s some sort of power his voice has over luciel. his beautiful, soft voice that never matches his venomous words.

whispers that would jolt luciel awake, or lull him into deep slumber like a lullaby. this time it’s the former. if he was a character in a manga, there would’ve been a small blush drawn on one of his cheeks.

“i’m always thinking about-” then the words dies in his throat. luciel blinks, did he heard that right? he looks into seonghan’s eyes and starts squinting.

i’m not the first? who else would give you chocolates…?

“… you have admirers?” he questions. an honest, yet absolutely senseless question. luciel sounds dumbfounded. “here? you’ve charmed others already?” as he continues going on asking, he’s starting to look even more aghast, as if a cold bucket of water dumped on his head.

what the hell, why is he so… affected by this?

luciel presses his lips into a line, resisting himself from frowning ( of course, it doesn’t works ). “ever the popular baek seonghan…” he mumbles with a heavy heart. crossing his arms, he takes a glance at the little box on seonghan’s hand, then returns his gaze to seonghan’s face.

in a serious tone, he comments, “at the very least, mine has to be the most delicious.”

there’s nothing special about valentine’s season. seonghan never understood the tradition, at least when it came to himself. the concept of a month ( or two, counting white day ) to celebrate love never appealed to someone like seonghan, who viciously trampled on what he thought could be love. a few years ago, he tried it—held the belief that maybe, with that experience, he could learn what it meant, what it felt like. essentially, he used a person as an experiment; of course it didn’t go well.

for seonghan, it would’ve been just another day. nothing out of the ordinary, hours spent training for a dream he doesn’t quite have. he expected this outcome, finding no trouble falling into this habit of constant rehearsals, a new schedule to adhere to. that’s how his day was meant to play out, until it was disrupted by a voice calling out to him—oh, it sounds a little more eager than usual. what could be the special occasion?

at another time, seonghan could’ve pretended to have missed the sound, carrying on towards wherever he was headed. today though, luciel was louder, the soft-spoken voice he keeps leveled reaching an unusual height. it’s enough to make seonghan stop in his tracks, allowing luciel to cross the short distance between them. eventually, he finds luciel taking his hand, presenting him with a box, a bit more decorated than he expected it to be.

“giri choco,” seonghan repeats, followed by an amused hum that luciel must be familiar with. “then i can assume you’ve prepared these for all your friends, haven’t you?” he questions pointedly, that same smile etched onto his face, despite his tired eyes. “it can’t be for just me, since you’ve collected a few friends along the way. what about your soon-to-be group members?” he asks, whispering to luciel’s ear—this is still somewhat of a secret, after all. not everyone can know. “did you give them any?”

seonghan pulls away, accepting the chocolates. “how sweet of you, to always be thinking of me,” he replies in a manner that doesn’t reveal whether he believes luciel’s words or not, keeping the other boy guessing. never allowing any certainty. “unfortunately, you aren’t the first,” seonghan lies with a smile. “it’s already the middle of the day, if you wanted to be my first… aren’t you a little late?”

[lucielxbe]

luciel understands the sentiment, as much as he enjoys partaking into reading as a hobby, it’s time consuming. he’s someone who reads quickly, and even quicker when he was younger—but life eventually catches up as an adult, and luciel finds himself reading slower than when he was a youthful boy. even more slower now, as a trainee. he still doesn’t wants to lose his reading habits though, so he tries to spend some time reading, at the very least.

he nods along to the girl’s words, “reading does gives you a lot of knowledge, even odd facts sometimes.” when he thinks about it, he does has random bits of unusual information stored in his brain. “english…? are you not from here?” he blinks.

“writing is difficult indeed,” luciel agrees. “at the very least, you tried. i believe it doesn’t hurts to try again, especially if the inspiration hits. or you could write down some drafts, and improve it over time, maybe ask your friends for their opinions too?” he tries to give some uplifting words to the girl. “is your brother into the arts, then?”

lucielxbe

“truthfully, i’ve read most of the books here…” luciel eyes the shelf once more, glancing over the familiar titles. this is when it makes him realise that oh, he does read a lot…? it doesn’t occurs to him how much he’s read, luciel doesn’t keeps a book tracker of the sorts. “so please, go ahead with taking that one. i hope you enjoyed it as much as i did,” he returns the smile. it’s not a bad feeling to have someone take his recommendations. the boy nods as he listens to a fellow book lover’s talk. luciel doesn’t reads much romance, but he’s also not foreign to stories that aren’t completely happy. “alright, i’ll keep those titles in mind then, wuthering heights isn’t a very happy story either, haha~” “i suppose i did tried to write before, back when i had a little more time but… it’s hard, to write nice stories,” luciel laughs softly. “i’m not a very creative person, but i did thought about publishing a book of the sorts when i was younger.”

“ah i wish i had more time to read” she nods a bit “if i had the time i would be through all of the books here as well, sadly school takes up a lot of time” she shrugs. “but it’s a hobby i’m glad to have, you learn a lot from books, even the fictional ones” she hums. “i’m a slow reader though, especially when i read in korean, english is still somehow easier for me”. “i’ll take this one home with me then… thank you for the recommendation, i’ll be looking forward to reading it” she shows a smile to the stranger.

“i’m the same, i love books so i wanted to write my own, i’m not creative though and the end result… well… totally sucked to be honest, none of it made sense” she pouts. “my brother is the creative one out of us, perhaps he’d be able to write one” noel had always been more creative than ria. “it’s harder than it seems to be honest, but attempting to write my own book made me appreciate books even more, there’s put a lot into writing just one book”.

[lucielxbe]

luciel would’ve been uncomfortable if he had to room with a manager, truth to be told. at the very least, he knows the rest of vybe now, familiar with them. they’ve been living together for months after all. so it’s not as if he’s a complete stranger to noel’s general vibe when rooming with the guy. he thinks his english will get better, the more he spends time with him. that’s a plus.

“yup~ pretty good,” he gives an honest compliment to the other boy. makeup enhances their features, but to pose and learn how to manage one’s facial expressions for the pictures is a skill in itself. fortunately, the photographers are excellent in directing. they’re professionals after all. “haha, well.. i would hope our future fans would hope so,” luciel answers him. “when they start posting pictures, i wonder how well received we’ll be. it’s quite nerve wrecking, to think about looking at comments and posts…”

picture perfect ♰⸝⸝starter for @noelxbe

the new living arrangements weren’t too bad, luciel was surprised that he didn’t ended up rooming with a manager… considering that he snuck out of the dorms once before. instead, he gets to stay with a fellow foreigner friend, noel! it isn’t too bad, really, other than his… frequent trips to the toilet, and the sound almost always wakes up luciel from his sleep briefly. it’s something he has to get used to, eventually. he starts with wearing fluffy earmuffs to sleep and that helps a little. just a little. great that the makeup artists are excellent with concealing luciel’s eyebags and making him look fresh instead, right? sometimes he gets worried if the tiredness will show through the makeup but, professionals will always be professionals. he’s surprised how he looks like he’s gotten a full night’s of sleep even though he had less than a few for the photoshoot. “our center is really.. vibing today,” luciel makes a joke as he peeks at the photos of noel at the camera. “you’re a natural at this, as expected~”

noel was truthfully thankful he would be rooming with luciel, not exactly wanting to share a room with a manager. prior to project green, it’d been a while since he’d lived with someone else, and this was actually his first time sharing a room with someone else. noel would truthfully preferred to have stayed in his own apartment where his pets were allowed, but living with the vybe members weren’t so bad. and so far luciel had been a good fellow roommate, the two foreigners having been put together.

noel is enjoying getting his make up professionally done, he usually does his own make up, but it looks far away from as good as getting it done by someone who fully knows what they’re doing. 

noel looks at the pictures as he scratches his neck “you think they came out well?” noel still wasn’t that used to being in front of cameras and all the photo taking. he turns to luciel with a smile on his lips “you’re a handsome man, i’m sure yours will turn out quite well as well” he nods a bit. “debut is coming scarily close”.

[lucielxbe]

vybe mission 2

a debut in the season of spring, isn’t that refreshing? everything seems to be going well smoothly, a little bit too seamlessly. at the back of luciel’s head, it feels like something is wrong. maybe he’s just not used to all of it, or how he’s actually going to properly step into the world of idols in april. nine months of training flew by just like that.

here he is, filming again for vybe’s debut. details, retakes, looking out for each other. there is so much tension in the air despite their refreshing theme.

putting on a lovely smile for the cameras, performing for audiences, being evaluated and all that. luciel wonders, if he could find meaning at the end of the day. wonders briefly if his foster parents would ever even glance at him once ( perhaps not ). wonders how long he would do this as he continues walking into the unknown, or will it simply just be a phase in his life?

it’s funny, how uncertain luciel feels even after everything. then again, this is what human life is about, right? perhaps it’s that uncertainty is what keeps luciel going; a garden to walk in, and the immensity to dream in. will there be a few flowers at his feet, and stars when he points his gaze upwards?

hello, to the welcomed unknown.

luciel perfects his beautiful, energising smile. it's still not perfect, but it's enough to fool.

— TEASER 001 (VER A) (@ PROJECTGREEN.LIME)

What's Your Vybe? 🐦‍⬛ #PROJECTGREEN #LIMEENTERTAINMENT #VYBE #RYEOJIHYUN #JIHYUN

[lucielxbe]

at the very least, this isn’t their first time filming, so they aren’t completely oblivious to some things. wanting everything to be perfect, especially for their debut, is a natural feeling that the vybe members are feeling. but of course, to keep up this attitude even for following comebacks, is something to keep in mind too. “everyone is nervous in their own ways,” luciel tries to give a pat on his back, offering some form of comfort.

nothing still feels real to him. it still feels like a fever dream, even though they’re here now. maybe once they debut, when they’re on the stage with an audience who are fans of vybe, then it’ll start settling in. luciel doesn’t lets his emotions get the best out of him. “we’re all in the same boat, i wonder if i’ll be able to sleep well tonight…” luciel sighs. “i keep thinking that i need to do better, or maybe it’s just me? haha.” he adds in a soft, awkward laugh at the end. “i still need to get used to the cameras, and the flashes.”

with debut being so close, seojun can feel all the excitement flowing out of him easily. all his dreams are coming true and he couldn't be happier. sure he had to get used to a different routine and be away from his cat but it seemed he settled in a lot easier than he would have thought. his usual anxious feelings didn't hit him as much and he wondered if it was due to being with people he felt comfortable with. even with being watched much more closely, he's doing his best to keep up with the expectations that the company has for him.

during the moments he isn't filming for the mv, seojun still can't help but keep up as much as possible. he never wants to lag behind in anyway even for a moment even in the way of his expressions with the video. he wants to make sure everything is in check. it's the perfectionist in him that loves creeping out whenever he's doing something that others will see. looking towards luciel, seojun can't help but flash a smile. "i thought it was okay. i get being nervous especially today." this was all apart of their debut and he knew all of them wanted it to go off well. "i'm sure it will take time to get used to it. honestly, i'm a mix of nervous and excited. i'm trying my best to keep everything in check for our music video."

luciel expects this sort of response, he isn’t judging the girl by all means, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea for sure. he hands the book to her, “here you go, it’s a great read, i recommend it. it’s not your usual romance book but… perhaps this is an opportunity to try reading something new?” he makes a suggestion. “i read a lot of literature, poetry occasionally,” he answers her. “i don’t have a preference specifically, i just read whatever that interests me, really. if you’d like to suggest a book for me, i’d be happy to have your recommendations.” the girl seems to be into more lighthearted plots, so luciel loosely expects that. it would be a nice change of pace, compared to the ones he normally reads. “what do you normally read then?” he returns the question, curiously.

ria takes the book, inspects it, not something she would usually read, but if it’s recommended by someone else, then perhaps? her brother has given her countless of recommendation for books, and she’s ignored every single one, but for some reason, having a stranger recommend it makes her want to actually attempt reading it. “ah, i’ll take it home with me” she smiles “well, unless you were going to take it home and read it?” she tilts her head to the side.

“ah, i think i mainly read romance books? science fiction can be fun too though” she shrugs. “it’s a popular book so there’s the chance you’ve already read it, but i’d recommend ‘the fault in our stars’, or maybe ‘they both die at the end’? they’re not exactly the most happy stories though” she hums. 

“do you… write yourself?”.

[lucielxbe]

music video ♰⸝⸝ starter for @beseojun

debut in april isn’t that far away. luciel continues life as usual, following a new routine of being separated by the other idols in another building. it’s a little strange, but he got used to it pretty quickly (it’s only just… a bit, disappointing to be separated, but it’s for the best, he supposes). their movements and actions are being followed more closely since they’re debuting soon, it’s best to live up- or, exceed the expectations.

even as he’s in the midst of mv filming, whenever he has time, luciel checks on his dance or looks into the mirror, perfecting a fresh smile in the mirror that’s suited for the music video. expressions are important, after all. he doesn’t wants to look too stiff. “hyung- was my dance okay? i’m getting a bit nervous, actually…” luciel turns to seojun with a lighthearted laugh. “i’m still not used to it. are you okay, so far?”

[lucielxbe]

“really tiring, but hanging on, i suppose,” luciel almost lets out a yawn, resisting the urge. he knows that by this point, its not news that he and the other five lime boys are in debut project. it’s also not something he’d flaunt about, but if the latter asks, then he’d answer, just a bit. saying too much might cause him some trouble.

he listens to the other boy, nodding along with his words. “you were? that’s nice, i don’t often post on social media… i prefer to look at things though,” luciel answers him. he’s not the most tech savvy person, and it slips his mind most of the time when it comes to social media, other than keeping in touch with some people. “so it’ll be instagram for me too, it’s easy to look at pictures, or other people’s instagram stories. i still don’t use it much though, haha.”

it’s a story of the old, but back in school, when his classmates were exchanging social media usernames with each other, luciel used to ask for their email addresses instead. it was a funny memory whenever he got the weird looks from others. “i like analog photography, i’m not the best at it… but sometimes i like to scan my photographs and upload them. though, i can’t do it anymore, for now,” he adds on with a soft whisper. he had to close his accounts, which isn’t something too troublesome for him anyway.

he's already been over it with hyejin, about how silly he thinks this workshop is, but he's mostly settled down with it. it's going to help, some way some how, and stevie might as well pipe down and just...get it over with. he can try out something fun next month, if anything.

"hey," he greets luciel with a grin, eyes crinkling at the corners. "it has, hasn't it? been good! how've you been?" falling into easy conversation comes naturally, especially with someone he hasn't seen in a while. he's been kept busy, locked away doing the same things the rest of the lime boys have been working on. stevie won't look a gift horse in the mouth (whatever that means), happy to take on a conversation with the elusive trainee.

"i mean...i was a frequent poster back in the day." stevie admits after a moment. "i still look at instagram like, everyday, though." he kinda misses it, but stevie feels like he hasn't been doing much to warrant a cool post. well, there's a few-- but he'd probably get in trouble for it, as he's been learning. "what about you? do you have an app of choice?"
