@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ "Parents can be like that sometimes... Mine are luckily very lenient, although if they knew how often I skip school they would definitely be a lot harsher on me-" she replied with an apologetic smile. It wasn't that she enjoyed lying to them, but most of the times it just couldn't be helped. She couldn't risk them stopping her from going where she needed to.
She could only nod in understanding at the boy's words, mumbling a "that's right" every so often.
They continued to walk side by side for a bit longer and just as she was about to take a peak at her map app, the boy addressed her, asking her the exact same question she was searching the answer for in her phone.
"I was just about to check that! Let me see... hm, it says it should be right around that corner." Hae said while excitedly pointing towards a tall building not too far from where they were standing.
"Do you think you'll be able to find your way from here on? I'm a bit late to a meeting I had scheduled, but what you're looking for should be on the other side of that park over there" she said, pointing towards the new location.

(hey hey so so so sorry for the wait! had a lot of stuff going on irl ;-;)

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "I honestly don't know I think he is just overprotective or something " he chuckled a bit thinking back on that day when he was young.
"ah really, I try to be but I am glad you think that way" he mused
He was not to bothered by it everyone had their own opinion and to him it was just as simple like someone not liking a certain fruit. "Nothing is wrong with it for sure some like music some don't and that's okay you know" he said smiling at her still as he kept walking next to her.
"It's so pretty and the sky changing colors. How much father do you have before you get to the spot you need to get?" he asked shoving his hands in his pocket.

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ She stopped in her tracks, completely in disbelief. "40??!!! But- why???". That last question wasn't really heard as she was laughing a bit too much to completely be able to say it.
"You really sound like a nice person, thinking like that".
They both continued to walk forward, their destination now not so far away, sharing information back and forward.
At the sudden question, Hae put on an enigmatic expression, thinking of how to reply without hurting the boy.
"Hm.. I don't think so? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I don't think I really care much for music, or bands/groups for that matter" She carefully glanced at him, but it really didn't seem like he was bothered by it, as he simply continued on.
His words caught his attention, and it was her turn to look up, her eyes veering towards the spot in the sky the boy was poiting to. Hae scrunched her face and tilted her head to the right, trying to make shapes out of said cloud. "Ah! You're right, it really does!"

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "Maybe but still my dad also was the type to make me sign a contract in crayon at seven not to date til I was 40.." he mused softly "But if I can even offer encouraging words and it help I am happy" he smiled "I hope as long as someone dream is not harmful to others I hope everyone's dream can bloom into fruition."
"mmh I am " he said to her and blinked a bit and nods, "if you don't mind me asking do you have any favorite groups you listen to?" he asked with with that same gentle smile on his face. It was genuine but also there was a hint of something that was trained into him they way he did carry himself in a way.
"It is but nothing I am not use to" he said honestly "mmh two years maybe I was scouted to be a trainee...but prior I did have some experience" he said to her and looked at the sky "It's so beautiful outside no? oh look that cloud it looks like two swans"

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ Hae could only shake her head in discord "Not at all. Just because it's not something we hear every day, doesn't mean it's automatically cheesy. The world could use more of that" she replied, the same wide grin never leaving her lips as her expression turned to a more encouraging one.
"You sure sound close to your family" Hae mumbled under her breath. She hadn't really thought it through, it was just something that had simply crossed her mind and before she noticed, she had already said it out loud. Well, what's done is done, let's just go with it.
The boy spent some time trying to answer her questions, all while Hae happily gave him her full attention, nodding ever so often so as to let him know she was still listening.
"That sure sounds complicated... and tough" She added. "How long have you been a trainee for?" Hae said, mindlessly taking step after step as the sun slowly made it's way down.

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "Maybe~ but my dad would tell me that a lot growing up you know " he said softly and smiled more "Don't worry I know it sounds cheesy " he said to her.
"I hope so " he mused softly as he thought to his family for a second his mom and her old group as with his fathers group as well.
As they walked in silence for a bit he looked at the other who started to rapid fire questions at him as he blinked for a second and tilted his head for a moment processing each question,
"for the first episode was more of us training for our opening number that is a collab between the two groups though that's the most I can say without spoilers, for trainees 14 seven boys and seven girls..." he hummed a bit "I think we have mentors one being from wonderland and one from echo...and I also think my mentor Ash-sunbae....ummm well the winners are debuting though the 14 of us are working to debut so unsure how many winners since they changed the show last minute..." he said to her smiling "I know they are doing live comments as well so fans can interact with the performance part of the show or we would answer questions in the following episodes."

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ She couldn't really help the chuckle that escaped her lips hupon earing the boy's heroic line, her hand coming up to cover as she did so in a polite manner.
"That sounded like a movie line. It's really nice to have that type of mentality"
She'd like to believe the sadness in her head as she mentioned that last part didn't bleed into her tone, but being scared that it did, she just did her best to go on with the conversation, hoping the topic would be over.
"Oh wow that sounds cool! I'm sure you'll make your family proud either way!"
Not exactly content with the rather lame change of topic, she tried once more to change it, as there was still quite a long way to go until they arrive and she wasn't particularly fond of awkward silences
What did you guys do for the first episode? How many people were there? What'll happen to the winners? Oh- how many winners will there be?"
The questions just kept coming and coming as she hurriedly spit out anything she could think of, smilling at the boy with excitment, but not really allowing him the time to reply or to even think.

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae He nodded, never one to truly pry unless he was close besides the most surface questions he walked next to her. "You can do this from what I learned through the years or since I was young was if you are passionate and try you can do it" he said to the other and chuckled a bit. He remembered since he was young and on shows like hello baby or when his parents were on stage that he saw peoples dreams come true. As he got to on Broadway as well.

"Mh~ I am very excited and from what I know it should be airing soon I know for sure the firt episode is ready and filmed." he said happily and slightly clapped his hands lightly.
"Yes, I am excited to be able to debut soon I do hope I make my family proud" he said to her.

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ Not one to share about her actual personal interests ever, Hae just nods shortly, "Something like that, yeah. And thank you! I really hope so too, I can't really afford to fail this class" she says as comical images of her mom reprehending after failing one too many classes for skipping them pop up on her mind. It's not that she's a bad student, things she just absolutely cannot miss just seem to have really bad timing.
As they walk for a bit, Hae finds herself looking around, searching for appealing spots to capture, always keeping in mind the boy walking close to her.
"Oh wow, I think I've heard about that show somewhere! I didn't know they were airing it this soon"
Amusement fills her up as she pushes a bit further. "So you're a trainee?"

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "It's nice to meet you Hae" he said to her and hums a bit to himself.
"Oh do you want to be a photographer ?" he asked the other with a tilt of his head and hums a bit as looks at the sky for a moment taken in warmth of the sun. It was a pleasant walk if you would ask him and hopefully he would be able to not think of a excuse that he got lost again. "I think that is cool I hope you get a good grade on the assignment."
"oh...umm I had a shoot...the new show that is coming out...Dante's Inferno" he said smiling at her

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ "Moon Hae, but feel free to just call me Hae", she says, smilling back at the boy.
Content to have been able to keep moving, the clock never really stopping, Hae goes on ahead, every once in a while glancing at the maps app to keep them on the right tracks.
"Ah I'm working on a photography project for one of my classes, we have to capture different parts of the city in different lightings, so I was hopping to get some shots of a certain spot close to sunset time". Hae excitedly goes over tmi, definitely over-sharing as the pair slowly but surely walk towards their destination.
"What about you? Why are you wanting to get to the filming studio?" She enquires curiously.

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "Alright" he said smiling "oh how rude I forgot Jiang Fenhua" he said bowing "it's nice to meet you" he said to the other and nods "I might jsut follow you until we need to separate..." he said softly "shoot lucky for me....fliming dose not start yet.." he mumbled under his breath and started to walk where he was suppose to be going.

"so...what are heading to?" he asked the other as he clutched his bag a bit

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ Turning the screen once more towards her, Hae takes a quick peek at the time and nervously looks back at the boy standing next to her.
"Hm... I'm running a bit late.. But it looks like the studio is close to where I'm headed so maybe I could keep you company until we get there?"

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae "mmh the flim studio" he said to the other and checked the time on his phone and shot a text again saying never mind to his brother before putting his phone away. He felt bad for asking though He however then smiled a the other showed him her screen seeing the location of where he needed to go pop up "yes..yes that's the place I need to head to" he said with a bright smile on his face.

"I still have time to get there as a thank you would you like something from that food stand over there?" he said pointing to the small cafe stand that was near them,

Relieved that neither she or the boy seemed to have gotten hurt, Hae was all ready to move along and go about her day, eyes already glued to her phone screen once again, but the boy's words stopped her on her tracks.
"Ah, the film studio..?" She had no idea. She didn't exactly have the best geographic knowledge, specially seeing as to how her days comprised of the same home - uni - uni - home routine.
However, and already feeling bad about having crashed onto the boy, she opened up her maps app and swiftly typed some words in. As the image showed up on her screen, she held the devide up to the boy.
Is this what you're looking for?"

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae Blinking a bit when someone walked right into him and quickly steadied the both of them from falling and smiled politely at the female before him. "Oh no worries I should have been paying attention as well.." he said "so my apologies as well" he said to the other with a bright smile on his face.

"Umm question do you know where the old film studio is located at?" he asked her rubbing the back of his neck a bit. "I have something there and I might have taken a wrong turn and just kept going?" he said a bit awkwardly to her.

@°ᴛʀᴀɪɴᴇᴇ° jiang fenhuaᵍᵉˡᵃᵗᵒ Happily smiling at the screen, Hae mindlessly followed the path she did every day as she scrolled through the pictures she had taken earlier. Needless to say, she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings, and was most definitely not expecting someone to just be standing right in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Oh- Sorry, sorry!" She had of course crashed into someone. Gripping her phone tightly as she let out a short sight while thinking what a blessing it was that she hadn't dropped it, she turns her attention to the boy she had just collided with. "Are you okay?"

@°ғᴀɴ° moon hae Walking through the streets he squinted and looked at his phone and sighed "how did this happen again..." he said softly to himself in Chinese. He was suppose to go to the studio but one wrong turn and now he had no idea where he was despite living in Korea for a while now. He tried texting his brother for help but he guess his brother was busy at the moment as he was not getting any response.
