To Raein’s relief, the rest of the shoot flew by without many problems. He was still a little hesitant, but less so than before, and the crew actually managed to get a few good shots. As soon as he was done, though, Rae bolted to the van, waiting patiently for the rest of the group to join him so Hyoji could drive them home. He hadn’t meant to fall asleep in the van, but it had happened, so the drive had gone by in a flash. He probably wouldn’t have woken up if Seok hadn’t accidentally bumped him on the way out of the van. He yawned and exited too, going straight for his room and curling up in the middle of the bed, pulling one of the blankets around his shoulders. “That took forever,” he mumbled to Kaili quietly, groaning and rolling onto his back.

Kaili didn’t even care about the people around them, probably weren’t paying attention to them either all too focused on the shooting and setting up. He was just appreciating the closeness right now, and to Kai, it still wasn’t enough but he’d take it until they could go home. “Well, we’ll try that and see how it works out them, hopefully it does. Put me next to you and I don’t think we’ll have a problem. None at all.” They both wanted to go home, back to the privacy of their dorm where they could be together freely, happily without any of the pressure surrounding them around here. That would be nice. “Mm, they should. But either way, people still listen to you and it’s a good thing they do– especially in our group.” He laughed softly at Rae’s whining, pulling back slightly from the embrace to see the pout. It made him grin. “Probably a good thing with all the rookies groups debuting anyway. Yea, she really it. We have the best manager, for out group at least she works really well with us.” Rae would probably still feel upset for a while, especially going back into he acting soon, but for now Kai was glad to have been helpful. “Good. A little, but I still want to watch a movie. I might fall asleep during it though, that’s the only thing.”

[mkraein-blog]

Rae scrunched up his face, pulling Kaili closer to him-- as close as he dared with all the people scurrying around--resting his head against Kaili. “You can just be you. I think you’re plenty cute just how you are so if you’re just yourself it’ll work perfectly. If I’m the one that brings the cute out, then if we ever do a cute concept, they should just put you next to me!” Rae really just wanted to go home. That way he could cuddle with his boyfriend without having to worry about people seeing, and watch movies and sleep. “People shouldn’t listen to me because it’s me, they should listen because it’s only right to be nice to people!” Rae whined, pouting a little bit. “Yeah, we’re super unique. We stand out. And we get Hyoji noona, and I think she’s the best manager ever.” He pursed his lips together, leaning closer. He was still feeling kind of upset, but he was better with Kaili around. Kaili lifted his spirits so much, just by being around him. “Okay....I can do good. Are you tired? If you’re tired we shouldn’t watch a movie, we should just sleep.”

“They shouldn’t. but they will. It doesn’t matter though.. if we ever have that kind of concept I’ll just figure out how to do it when it comes. How d’you suppose I should be cute then if I can’t do aegyo?” He chuckled softly. “No, you don’t lie. I believe you then, if you say I’m cute then I’ll take it– but secretly, I think it’s you that brings out the cute factor in me here.” Kaili’s own arms wrapped around the elder at the embrace, letting his head rest on Rae’s shoulder with the smile still present. Couldn’t deny that the other had an easy way with making him agree. “He is.. but it’s not in a bad way, you know that. Seok would probably say something if it was bad. Brandon’s just.. Brandon that way, but I’m sure if you told him to be a little nicer then he would. You have the charm to make people do what you want them too in that way, but it’s a good thing.” He hummed, “We’re a backwards group. It makes up unique then, in comparison to UNION and ACE doesn’t it?” Kai prided himself in being able to catch out when a negative mood or thoughts were overcoming Rae, prided himself on being able to stop them and replace it with a better feeling. If he couldn’t do that, then what kind of boyfriend and best friend would he be? That was just another reason of why he had to be there for the other. “Mhm. If you do good you can be done, and then we can go back to the dorm and curl up and sleep– or put a movie on if you want.” He nodded slightly, hand rubbing the elders back softly.

Rae knew people were uncharacteristically nice when he was around. People’s attitudes changed around Lee Raein, and he never really understood why. Or maybe he did. For those who knew about his disorder, he was sure he was perceived as quite fragile, and while they weren’t necessarily wrong, he wasn’t sure how he felt about it. He had a sinking feeling that people weren’t genuine with him, and he felt weird about it. 

He patted Teddy’s shoulder gently. “Kaili says I’m nicer than everyone, though, so that’s normal,” he pointed out with a smile.

A docile Teddy was a blessing to the world; he was quiet, tame and not in a rush to make any sarcastic comments - not that he would towards his members, especially Raein, as they were the ones who put up with him. Everyone else though, not as lucky. He shifted in his seat to accomodate the change in the other’s posture and a small smile of contentment appeared on his face.

The other’s jump did startle him and for a second he was about to let out a shriek, managing to bite his tongue in time. “I did? You seemed nicer though,” he stated, smiling up at the younger as a means of reassuring him that the jumping was fine and that he was better than Teddy had been.

[mkraein-blog]

He closed his eyes for a second, curling up more against Sora and chewing on his bottom lip--he was tired too. Maybe it hadn’t been such a good idea to get up early to practice--he shouldn’t have asked for a ride in the first place. That as a blunder on his part. “In between things you can nap. Naps can be 10 minutes long sometimes. So long as you’re not too tired.....” he mumbled. He shook his head. “No, Jaemi has other things to do I don’t wanna bug him. Hyoji’s going to take me to buy a new blanket for my bed. And then I might watch a movie.”

Sora leaned in and kissed his forehead, wrapping one arm around him and using her free hand to rub his knee comfortingly. She hadn’t realized he was in there; he was so delicate and he was afraid of lying to anyone - she should’ve phrased it a different way. “Yeah?” she murmured her question. “A nap sounds nice, but I have more things to do today. What are you up to for the rest of the day? Got practice, or are you gonna see if Jaemi is free to do some karaoke?”

[mkraein-blog]

He curled up against her, resting his head on her shoulder with a worried frown. He was sitting a little awkwardly in an attempt to keep his weight off of her and not squish her, but also because he was still afraid he did something wrong. “You should have a nap,” he said quietly. “Naps always help me when I’m sleepy.”

“Oh, Rae….” she sighed, scooting over in the chair and pulling him up so he was sitting half on her lap (he was much too big to really sit on her lap without smushing her). “It’s okay, sweetheart, I know you didn’t mean to. You like early mornings, I’m just really tired, okay? You didn’t lie.”

[mkraein-blog]

A worried expression on his face, Rae curled up at Sora’s feet like an affectionate cat, frowning. “I did. I don’t lie--I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry,” he said quickly, admittedly a little anxious. In Raein’s eyes, there was nothing meaner than lying. He didn’t want people to think he lied to them--and if he had, at least not on purpose.

Sara sighed, falling limply into the chair behind her. She’d been up all day and the lack of sleep was really starting to show. “Who decided that getting up to rehearse at five o’clock in the morning was a good idea?” Sunglasses pushing her hair back, she pulled her phone out to check if her makeup was covering the dark circles under her eyes at least a little. “Seriously, I wanna know, because whoever it was lied. They’re a liar and I want to have a word with them.”

[mkraein-blog]

Sliding down in his chair a little bit to accommodate the leader, Raein tried to sit as still as possible, trying not to shake or startle Teddy on accident or anything. Rae wasn’t the best at reading people, but the elder seemed to be tired, and he wanted to make it as easy as possible for him to get some rest or something. 

Jumping a little at the sudden conversation--and immediately feeling guilty for moving, if only a little--he shook his head. “I don’t think so. You seemed pretty nice to me.”

@mkraein

Teddy seemed to be exhausted after appearing on one of the many television programmes, more so than usual. It’s why he was attempting to lean on Raein’s shoulder, despite the other being taller. It wasn’t often that Teddy went into full docile mode, usually having something sarcastic to say, but every so often it seemed to appear.

“Did I say anything stupid on there?” He asked, doing his best to look up at the other’s face with obviously sleepy eyelids, “I don’t need to be reprimanded again…”

[mkraein-blog]

“Well that’s their problem, then--they shouldn’t get their hopes up like that. Everyone is cute in different ways. Not everyone can do aegyo, but everyone can still be cute,” Rae argued, shaking his head a little. “No, we’re both cute. You’re plenty cute. I don’t lie, remember? Lying is mean I don’t do it so I can’t be lying.” Kaili’s grin only made Rae smile more, hugging his boyfriend around the middle and closing his eyes, holding him there for a little while. “Yeah, definitely Brandon. Brandon is kinda mean to Seok sometimes, isn’t he? Someone should talk to him about being a little nicer maybe....” Rae fretted. “That’s kind of backwards....UNION and ACE’s maknaes are both the cutest, but Wonderland is just backwards.” Rae could never go long being upset in Kaili’s presence--if anyone was good at reading him, it was Kai, and the younger was quick to nip any bad moods or feelings in the butt, preventing Rae from ever getting too upset. He adjusted his head on Kaili’s shoulder, still frowning, but feeling a little bit better at least. “Okay. If I do good, I can be done, right?”

On the other hand, Kaili wasn’t so often, and that was probably because of the resting face he had for whenever anyone was around him. The only ones to call him cute were Rae, for obvious reasons because he really did only get to see that side of him, and maybe a few others, but that would probably be in more of teasing fashion. Either way, Kaili just didn’t see his cute appeal the way the elder did. “Yea, but that’s what people normally expect when you ask for cute. I’m not as cute as you, it takes more for me to just be there and be cute.” His gaze automatically returned over to the others face at the tug on his shirt, a grin making it’s way onto his features without thought when he noticed the smile, it made feel warm and happy inside to see Rae looking like that. “That something probably being Brandon, or wanting to be Brandon. That’s something amusing about this group, that the two younger ones struggle more with a cute concept than the older ones.” Noting the frown, gaze still tracked on the others, Kaili squeezed the elders hand softly because he could tell what he was thinking about when it came to the members sleeping here, and he didn’t want to have him worry about it. Chances were that they might’ve even been mucking around somewhere honestly, but he hadn’t seen anyone for a while. “Just do your best, that’s all anyone can ask for.” Kai kept the one hand holding the others as well, but used his free hand to gently tug the others hand away from him mouth before wrapping that arm around him to pull him close again. “You know I’ll be at the side if you need me as well, I’m not going anywhere, so just do what you can, alright?”

[mkraein-blog]

rae smiled brightly, nodding in thanks. “i will. she’ll probably give them to me. i mean, i’m not gonna do anything bad with them or anything. if it makes her feel happier, she can even help me send letters and presents back,” rae said, scratching his nose and adjusting his sleeves.he nodded--he’d remember to check. of course he’d remember.......actually, he’d better write himself a note. now that he thought about it, he was really bad at remembering things. he frowned. he had a twitter and instagram, but he never used it without hyoji there--something about her not wanting him to read any malicious comments. and, also, it was probably for the best that someone monitor his posts. he was good about keeping his disorder a secret, but it would be bad if he accidentally posted something that gave it away. “v-app........that sounds nice. um...who do i need to ask to do one of those?”

minjung chewed gently at the inside of her cheek as she pondered his questions. it simply wasn’t in her nature to turn help over to someone else, nor was it in her nature to give an answer that wasn’t one hundred percent factual, but she had to make a sacrifice somewhere. “you can try asking hyoji to give you the return address for specific things you get,” she suggested with a faint nod of her head.  “well, i suppose it would depend on the specific venue, but i don’t see why not. you should check to be sure before doing it, though.” it seemed like a silly thing to ban in her mind, but the amount of stupid discoveries she faced in a day no longer fazed her. “you can also reply to people. twitter, instagram– or holding v-app broadcasts. that might touch people just as much as getting a gift, and that way you can give an equal opportunity to everyone.”

[mkraein-blog]

People often told Rae he was cute. Especially Sora--she said that a lot. He didn’t necessarily see it--sure, he was kinda cute, but he thought the rest of Wonderland was much cuter. Especially Kaili. Rae thought he was the cutest. But, honestly, Rae was incredibly biased. “You don’t have to do aegyo to be cute, though. You just have to be there and you’re cute,” Raein replied, tugging on Kaili’s shirt a little with a happy smile. “Yep, definitely. He’d probably get grumpy and punch something too.” Rae frowned. He felt bad. If the others were still caught up here, it was his fault because he couldn’t get his takes right. They had to sleep on the ground or on a chair because of him. He chewed on one of his fingernails nervously once they were away from the actor, refusing to let go of Kaili’s hand with his other. “I guess. I hope I don’t mess up too much again, though.”

In Kaili’s own opinion (a completely biased on at that), Rae was the cutest member out of all them. At least naturally. He didn’t need aegyo to be cute like Brandon and Teddy were in constant use of, he was just cute in general; it was an endearing quality the elder had. “To you I am. I’d struggle with it, aegyo and cute things aren’t my strong point, especially for doing on camera.” Kai smiled at the further affection from Rae after that, laughing softly. “True. He’d have Brandon probably teasing him from the side too, making it worse.” He nodded at that. “If not, I’m sure they’ll be sleeping somewhere. I now know why idols sleep wherever and whenever they can.” He hummed out quietly. As for the girl issue now, the younger allowed himself to be dragged away by the other after a moment, still confused to why she’d seemed so.. happy? It confused him, but in someways sparked that jealousy inside again– he really needed a tighter rein on that. “Yea.. a little. But on another note, she was fine with it so you don’t need to worry. I don’t think she lying either, so maybe that’ll help you for when you go back to re-shoot it again.”

[mkraein-blog]

“oh. that makes sense,” rae commented, nodding with a smile. He chewed on one of his nails for a second before stopping, remembering that sora wanted him to kick the habit, and swung his legs idly in his chair instead. rae rarely gave any thought to his public image. not in the sense that most idols did, where they did whatever they wanted just because they wanted to. no, rae didn’t think about it because he didn’t think people liked him anyway, so why bother? he liked singing and that was all that mattered to him. the gifts for fans had no ulterior motives--he just felt genuinely bad that he couldn’t personally thank everyone. he nodded. “yeah, hyoji gives me my mail. she says she checks it before she gives it to me, just to make sure there’s no mean things in the letters.” it was awfully nice of her. rae was always worried about people saying mean things to him. “wait, i’m allowed to bring things to fansigns? what kind of things do you think my fans will like? i think im going to do that...” he said, his eyes lighting up a little. he shook his head. “i’ll do it at all the fansigns, so no one gets left out. and if people cant come to fansigns, ill see if i can send them things. i don’t want anyone to feel like i’m ignoring them.”

“No, they’re from shows that would like for you to make an appearance. The name is a bit misleading, yes.” Minjung narrowed her eyes at the question. She had to admit, it was the first time she’d heard it, and truthfully she wasn’t sure if she was the person with the proper answer. Of course, it would help with his public image, but beyond that she wasn’t confident that she was wholly able to get him to that point from now. Still, that wouldn’t stop her from at least attempting to help. “Well, I’m guessing– with what’s mailed to you, someone checks through it first before it gets to you, striking out the return address option… You can always ask them for it, or Hyoji? And if they’re unable to do that for precautionary reasons, you could bring gifts to your fansigns and hand them out there. Small things, but not cheap things, that way no one feels they were cheated.” She nodded as she spoke, another thought popping into her mind. “Though, it might upset some people who are unable to get to fansigns. But you can’t please everyone, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that.”

every time hasik spoke, he couldn’t help but jump and flinch a little, half expecting the older man to whip out a sword and cut off his arm or something. it was ridiculous, yeah, but rae had an incredibly overactive imagination, and that’s what pirates did--they hurt people and had hooks for hands. rae liked having normal hands. itd be hard to hold hands with people if he had a hook instead of a hand.

he chewed his lips. “um......maybe....when are they getting back?” he asked timidly, scratching his nose. his ears perked up a little, though, and a small smile appeared on the nervous boy’s face. “oh. i like superheroes. i guess we could do that. who’s your favorite?”

He wasn’t sure what he’d ever done. Ever since the first time they met, Lee Raein seemed to be absolutely terrified of him. He was jumpy and nervous and stammered whenever he tried to talk to him…..Hasik didn’t know what’d he’d done to make the younger man uncomfortable, but he wished that could stop. 

He saw this as his chance. Kyu and Jae were coming, but they were alone for the moment. Hasik wanted to use this as an opportunity for them to be friends.

“So, um….” Hasik chewed his lips, smiling warmly at Rae. “Do you want to do something until Kyu or Jae get back? We could watch TV. Or play superheroes or something…..” He pushed his hair back, hoping Rae would take to one of the suggestions. He felt like they could be friends, but not if the younger one was scared straight of Hasik…

[mkraein-blog]

He was in a bit of a predicament.

He didnt want to stay. Kyu and Jae weren’t there, like he thought they’d be. He was alone with Hasik, which was absolutely terrifying. But he couldn’t leave either because Jae and Kyu could come back at any moment, and he didn’t want to miss them. Hasik was less scary since getting his haircut, but it didn’t fool Rae; Hasik was a pirate. And cutting his long hair to try to fit in wouldn’t really change that.

His legs were pulled up to his chest as he sat on the couch, still as a statue as he eyed Hasik nervously. He didn’t want to take his eyes off of the bigger man for a second, just in case something happened. 

Maybe he should just go home.

Raein’s entire life, ever since developing his disorder, had just been trying to make life easier for the people who had to take care of him, because looking after him was hard. He had an overactive imagination and his memory had holes and he was scared of everything; people didn’t deserve to have to put up with that. He assumed it was probably exhausting. Hell, that was why he had come to MK in the first place--he knew his mom was feeling the financial strain, and that killed him, so he went somewhere that offered shelter and food and everything he needed, so his mom didn’t have to worry anymore. “Um, you’re welcome. I’m glad you like it,” he muttered shyly, giving her a tiny nod and playing with his sleeves. “Love calls? Those are from fans, right?” He frowned a new issue popping into his brain. He scratched his head and hesitantly voiced what was on his mind--maybe Minjung could help him. “I....um......at fanmeets and stuff......fans give us stuff. And they give us presents in the mail too...um....is there any way for me to figure out how to send something back? It’s not fair for me to get presents if I can’t give them any presents back.”

“Well, thank you. I really appreciate it.” If only half the people that gave her constant troubles gave their thanks every now and then– it wouldn’t change Minjung’s blunt, to-the-point nature when it came to dishing out her advice, but maybe she’d be a little more willing to help from the kindness of her heart rather than her paycheck. People who made mistakes, who she saw good and intent in got hours of her true service, even off the clock. People who made messes and expected her to clean up after them got the bare minimum and were left to deal with the aftermath and backlash themselves. “Ah, I see. I’ll be sure to thank her the next time I see her, then. Thank you for that. I’m sure Leon will have a few, whether I offer them to him or not.” She chuckled a bit, knowing how her boy had a habit of going through her bags until he found something that he wanted. “Good, that means you’re adjusting. Some of those questions were tough to answer, but you handled them well. Keep it up and you’ll be getting love calls in no time!”

[mkraein-blog]

He picked at the sleeves of his sweater anxiously, chewing on his bottom lip and looking up at her nervously from under his lashes. He blushed a little, shaking his head. “Um....no you’re probably thinking of Teddy-hyung. Or Brandon or Jitae-hyung. Or the others. I’m just normal,” he replied quietly, smiling a little bit. The skill of his group members was something he admired a lot. “Oh. Okay. Um...you’re welcome, I guess,” he mumbled. Right. She was a fugitive. If someone in charge had caught her, she’d be in jail.

Raein’s imagination was a dangerous thing. Without a doubt, in a few hours, Sora or Hyoji or someone would be trying to calm him down, trying to convince him that he had jumped to conclusions again without taking a second to breathe and look at things rationally. Right now, however, his brain was running wild, trying to figure out what atrocious crime this woman had committed. 

His eyes widened at the question, his heart instantly pounding as he awkwardly tried to shuffle towards the door. “Um...no....the door was just open...and I was curious. I’ll never come in here again, I promise,” he told her quickly, shaking his head. 

Realization would wash over the brunette when she heard his name, her eyes widening as she somewhat instinctively bowed in apology. “I know who you are…you’re very talented.” she tells him, her hand coming up to run through her hair once again as she looked at him and shook her head. “No, you don’t need to apologize…or leave. It’s actually a good thing you woke me up…had anyone else found me, I’d probably be in a lot of trouble.”

It was true. Hyeri didn’t even want to think of what may happen if she’d been caught by someone other than Raein. She would have been in a whole lot of trouble and God…she didn’t even want to think about it.

“Seriously, thank you. You saved me from getting into trouble.” she said, barely managing to make her words coherent as she was cut off once again by a yawn.

Nice, Hyeri. Very attractive.

“Can I ask what you’re doing here though? You wouldn’t happen to be looking to catch a few z’s, would you? Because if you are, I can show you a much better spot to get some rest.” she said with a smile.

mk was probably the best thing to ever happen to rae.

it’d just been him and his mom for most of his life. before his dad had been in the picture, she had raised him. after they left his dad once rae’s DID developed, they were on their own again. for the longest time, she was the only one raein had trusted. the only person he ever really talked to. the only person who understood what was going on in his head and who could take care of him. 

but, she was a single mother. bills for therapy weren’t cheap, and rae ate his weight in food every day. and when raein became old enough to realize that they were struggling, living paycheck to paycheck, he had made the decision to break out of his shell a little and pursue an idol career. his half brother was a soloist at mk too, and got him an audition. and the rest was history.

now he had friends, like jaemi and brandon, who took care of him and played super smash bros with him and did karaoke with him. he has kyu and sora, his pseudo parents, who treated him as if he was their whole world. he had hyoji and minjung who went out of their way just to make sure the public didn’t learn his secret. and he had kaili, probably the most important person to him in the whole wide world. mk had changed his life for the better (even with the development of a new alter), and he was finally feeling, well....normal.

but things weren’t perfect. just the mention of his dad had him in tears. hell, he had seen someone in the hallway who had kind of resembled his father, and it had sent him into a full blown panic attack. strangers still made him want to cower and hide. he was forever afraid of letting his new found fans down, or of losing his job because the public found out about his disorder. he wasn’t even all that talented, not if you looked at the rest of the group. he couldn’t rap at all. he could barely dance (sora said he took after kyu in that respect). and while he was a decent singer, kyung and teddy were both way better than he was. he wasn’t even handsome, like kaili, so he couldn’t be the visual. he was just kind of....there. replaceable. and that had him practicing hard, even when he didn’t necessarily have to.

he had stayed late after wonderlands practice in the studio--it was open for an extra half hour afterwards, so while the other boys went to shower and waste time at the dorm, raein tried going over the choreography again and again, making sure he got it. he lost track of time, and sure enough, there was the person next in line to use the studio, making rae jump right out of his skin and absolutely freeze in terror. 

“um.....wonderland....” he stuttered, trying to find the words to introduce himself, scared as he was. “i lost track of time.” and with that he scrambled to the corner, pushing his stuff into his bag. he ran to the speaker, fumbling as he tried to unplug his phone, glancing anxiously over his shoulder at the strange man he didn’t know. there was no one to hide behind here, and that was probably what scared him the most. he wished kyu was there. kyu was tall. he could hide behind kyu.

@mkraein liked this post for a starter.

exasperated. namgil was exasperated. 

though really, even that was an understatement. he felt out of place ever since he started working at this god forsaken company. everyone was always so clamorous  — screaming and shouting about everything. and the dorms, he always hated the dorms; out of sight did not equate to out of earshot. to say he had faith in keeping his sanity here in mk was a stretch, because for years he was so alone and now all of a sudden he’s surrounded by people — annoying people — it was a little overwhelming. 

so much so that the only comfort he had in this establishment was the studio. it was his home away from home, even though the latter didn’t feel like a home, being only the size of a storage closet, just big enough to fit a cot and nothing else. maybe he was just acquainted better with small places, the size inconsequential, similar to how he felt in the grand scheme of things. 

because, sure, he was popular, the anonymity of his image driving fans absolutely crazy, speculating about who the man was behind the mask. but he knew better, knew how the idol game went. the prettier faces had a bigger fanbase, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to know this (read: namgil is not a rocket scientist. so he knows this). 

it was almost relieving to step into the cubicle of a studio, all previous thoughts and troubles slipping from the cracks and corners of his mind so he could finally relax. though for some strange reason, the hairs on the nape of his neck stood on end. his eyes swept the floor of the studio and he almost choked on his spit, stumbling backwards until the metal doorknob jammed into the small of his back. 

“who the hell are you?” wasn’t the most appropriate thing to say in this moment, he probably should have known who he was, but namgil was exasperated, “and what the fuck are you doing in here? i’m — i’m reserved for the studio from two to four, it… it says so. in the schedule. so why… are you here,” he gritted the last part out almost mechanically, fists clenched and breathing growing almost pathetically shallow. he didn’t like things happening off schedule. that’s not who namgil was.

[mkraein-blog]

A small smile appeared on his face at the thought of having to do a cute concept. That was right up his alley. No, he wasn’t in Brandon or Teddy’s league, but he was still pretty damn cute in his own right. He giggled, shaking his head. “No way. You’re plenty cute. I think you’d do great if we had to do a cute concept,” Rae told him earnestly, snuggling up closer. “Seokkie might have a hard time though. He looks like the oldest. He wouldn’t be very good at it,” Raein mumbled thoughtfully. “I hope they went home. They all looked really tired,” he said with a worried expression. After standing in front of the girl frozen for a while, Rae too bowed, dragging Kaili along behind him as he fled the scene. “That was really weird,” he muttered, scratching the top of his head.

“Didn’t think of that.. okay so finishing it today it is if you want to do that then.” He nodded. “You’ll get better at this, it’s you’re first time. You’re not even as bad as you think you are.” Kaili replied truthfully, quietly as he gave the others hand a gentle squeeze. “I know you won’t want to hear it, but you know we’ll have more of these to do? But they won’t be so hard, so– so like this one. They won’t be like this one. And maybe next time it’ll be one of the rest of us that does something like this– I know for one anyway, if we have to do a cutesy concept for one of these then I’m going to take a thousand shots to get it right.” He glanced over at the elder with a soft smile, because that was true. He didn’t pull off cute well, not on camera and not anywhere else. That was Brandon and Teddy’s field, and Kaili honestly hated aegyo. “I’m not sure, hyung. I haven’t been around to see them.” He didn’t want to admit to Rae that they were probably still here anyway either, but he wasn’t sure of that fact entirely. The reaction of the actress only a few moments after both of their words kind of left Kaili with a blank face, not expecting such a cheerful apology anyway. “See, I uh, told you that it would be fine.” He turned to Rae after catching his gaze, smile replacing the blank look though there was some confusion in it as he turned back to the female, bowing his head a little out of thanks anyway.
