♡ Recording Studio

@Donghyuk "I'll try. Fair warning though, I'm probably only going to like the ballads. Songs similar to this one." Jinri didn't really open her ears when her friend played the music in the car. Most of it she blocked out while playing on her PSP. It wasn't until she heard "Little Star" that she started to pay attention. She watched as Donghyuk underlined the lines of the song he and Kim Taehyung will be singing. Kim Taehyung had a lot of parts, but Donghyuk only had one. "That's it? Only one part for you? That doesn't seem fair. Then again you are the one that composed and wrote the song, so it's fair enough. I guess. The other member have to be noticed too, right? You're a good leader Donghyuk." Jinri looked closer at the paper, reading the lyrics and pulling out the parts Kim Taehyung is going to sing. "I think Kim Taehyung's voice would be good for the beginning and the chorus." Looking up, she smiled as she held her hand up in a pause motion so he wouldn't interrupt. "And I'm not just saying that as a fan of his. I think the music would match his voice in those areas."

@Sulli Donghyuk blinked as he rubbed the nape of his neck, hearing about the situation with Jieun, or IU as he knows her. It was a bit obvious from the look of the other's face as they were filled with disappointment hearing that Taehyung wasn't going to get a solo, at least the sub-unit would be a bit more satisfying? "You should, I mean... usually, the songs we try to put out are good." he replied to the other, he knew that he couldn't forcefully push his group onto someone who didn't seem as interested, but at least he could try to convince her with the music. As he listened to the song, a feeling of relief came over him, it was a bit of a sad song - he wrote and dedicated this song relating to his love life, so obviously - it was very important to him. "Which parts are we going to sing...?" Donghyuk looked over at the other as he grabbed the lyrics sheet. "Well, we all haven't gotten together to record a thing, but... I want to try and sing this part." Donghyuk said as he grabbed his pen, underlining 'Don't trust me like a fool. I said I'd protect you forever, but it was all a lie,lie.' "For Taehyung, I want to give him the beginning and the chorus line since his voice is pretty deep, but I'm not sure and all." he said with a soft smile.

@Donghyuk "So that's how it is. Maybe I should learn more about idols. Other than what Jieun told me about her group disbanding and her debuting in a new one soon I don't know much else." Jinri's focus was on acting, traveling, and learning foreign languages. That's about it. She was disheartened to lean Kim Taehyung wouldn't have a solo, but a sub-unit shouldn't be bad. "Well I'll anticipate the sub-unit then. And from what I heard when you were recording it sounds like your comeback will be good." Now that she's met a member of Live she'll anticipate their comeback and support them. Listening as the song played, she nodded along to the beat. It didn't sound bad with one person singing it, but she's sure it'll sound better with the whole group. "Which parts are you and Kim Taehyung going to sing?"

@Sulli Donghyuk looked over at the other, shaking his head slowly. "It's not what you think, my group and I got new members to replace the one's that left... I don't resent those that left or anything." he said with a soft smile. He placed his elbow on the desk - his arm going up and his fist clenched as he rested his head on his newly made fist. "Taehyung? Aniya, I don't think he's having a solo song... he's doing a subunit though. Our comeback schedule is packed and all." he said as he laughed softly. "Nice to meet you too. I'm not sure if you'd like the song I'm about to play for you. It's going to be one of our title tracks for the comeback. There's some instruments and all, like the piano." he said as he set the song up - pressing the play button for the demo. The song was recorded only in his voice since the other members haven't had a chance to record themselves singing any of their upcoming title tricks. He leaned back into his chair relaxing as the song began to start.

@Donghyuk Jinri heard through her idol loving friends that an idol left his group some time ago. She didn't know it was Live though. "That must have . I can't imagine someone I'm close to leaving like that when you worked hard to achieve your dream. You seem better off now though. I hope you get better and garner more popularity as you continue your career." She didn't have to be a fan to wish them the best. Crossing her legs, she leaned on the desk, her head resting in her hand. "Are there any plans for Kim Taehyung to have another solo song on the upcoming album?" She sure hoped so. For the past few months she's been listening to him non-stop with a few exceptions of new songs. "It's nice to meet you Donghyuk. I'd like to finish listening to the song."

@Sulli Donghyuk chuckled softly as he rubbed the nape of his neck, listening to the other as they talked about the kind of music they listened too. "I can play the guitar and piano, I think... in our debut album we had this one song as a group... Eyes,Nose, Lips? That was when we lost a member and we were a six member group... later we became a seven member group again and I hope we stay that way." Donghyuk said nodding firmly as he looked over at the other. "I'm not surprised, Taehyung's voice is really, really nice! He's really talented and all..." Donghyuk said laughing softly as he focused on finishing the song. "Do you want to hear the song I'm working on?" he asked as he looked over at the other. "Ah... that's right, I didn't introduce myself - the name is Donghyuk, leader of L.I.V.E." he said smiling softly at the other before looking back at the soundboard.

@Donghyuk "Oh no, you're group is really popular. Like international type of popular. I just don't pay attention to idol groups that's all." She shrugged. "As for music, I listen to a lot of music. I just prefer songs with acoustic guitar, piano, or bands." Jinri wasn't into hip-hop or pop music. They didn't resonate with her, so she sticks to what can make her feel something. When the man clapped, she wasn't sure whether to take it negatively or not, so she clapped along. "I am. I was in France visiting a friend when she played your last album in the car. Kim Taehyung's solo songs in part two are amazing and I he has a beautiful voice. I don't know anything else about him though." Jinri leaned back in the chair and watched the man go back to his work. Sitting in on the music making process was new to her. The last time she as in a recording studio it was for an OST for a drama she did a few years back. "I never did get your name."

@Sulli Donghyuk nodded as he smile, giving a soft chuckle. He rested his arm over at Sulli or Jinri, whatever the other preferred to be called, he wasn't sure. "Really? I thought my group was pretty popular, but I guess not. You probably don't listen to much music, do you?" Donghyuk asked as he raised a brow, looking over at the other - he blinked when the other associated him with Taehyung, laughing softly to himself, he clapped his hands, giving the other a round of applause. "Neh, that's corect. You're probably hyung's fan, aren't you?" he asked - although it seemed obvious, seeing how the other just associated him with Taehyung. Donghyuk looked back at the soundboard, playing around a bit with the bgm for the song, "Sorry, my group is coming back on the 10th and this demo is due soon." he said as he stayed focus on the song.

@Donghyuk "More like a grudge holder. He'll get over himself eventually." Jinri him and his pettiness. Ah, so he was acting during the years she was active. That's probably why she recognizes him. They've never acted together that's for sure or she would have most definitely remembered him. "That's probably why you look familiar to me. I don't usually keep up with actors and actresses unless we've worked together or you were in a drama I watched." Jinri spun around in the chair, humming the part of the song she heard. "Live, Live...You're group sounds familiar." She took a moment to think about it, before realizing why he seemed familiar to her. "Oh! Now I know why you seem familiar. You're in a group with Kim Taehyung, right? Congratulations by the way."

@Sulli Donghyuk nodded as he walked over to the seat, closing the door to the recording studio since the other already made herself at home. Humming softly to himself, he sat down in a chair. "Seems like your friend is a bit of a practical joker." Donghyuk said as he began to clean up his mess on the recording booth. "I stopped acting about a year ago... I started acting at an early age, thirteen maybe? Then when I was eighteen I debuted in a group as a leader." He didn't want to say anything, but he found it a bit amusing, hearing foul language from this person, it was unusual - since most of the people he was around would watch their language. "Well, to answer your question, I'm from L.I.V.E. my group's one year anniversary was in November."

@Donghyuk Jinri stood from the seat and leaned against the table, being careful not to touch any equipment. She doesn't want to be responsible for messing something up, especially if it took hard work to create it. Smiling, she nodded, scratching the back of her head. "Yeah. I mean I've been here plenty of times, but I'd just wait in the lobby and whichever friend I was visiting would meet me down there, then we'd leave. I've never been this far inside before." Ah group song. "That's cool. Which group are you in?" She did a thumbs up, bursting out into laughter when he passive aggressively insulted her friend. "No. You're right. I tell him that all the time, but he insist on mailing me things like this, then telling me to figure it out. I swear he's ing with me. Probably still mad about April Fools last year." She regrets nothing though. The prank was awesome and she got it all on film too. Great times. Great times. For her and everyone else at least. "Yep. Choi Jinri at your service." Saluting. "Oh yeah? How long ago was it? I might have heard of you." Taking at seat again, she waved away his offer and gestured to the recording booth. "Nope. I'm good. If the little wants to play games then I'll make him wait. I'd much rather watch you work and talk some more."

@Sulli Donghyuk blinked, smiling clumsily as he listened to the girl and stared at the drawn map - he wanted to laugh at it, it seemed as if it was a poorly drawn picture from a little girl in kindergarten or preschool. Something like that. He nodded as he gave the girl a soft smile. "Is this your first time at the company?" Donghyuk asked as he stared at the other - being a bit slow with responses as he heard her mention the demo song. "Ah, it's a song I've been working on for my group." he said as he stared at the map for a bit longer, it was a bit difficult to read and all. "Well, I wouldn't call your friends stupid and all, maybe a bit special when it comes to drawings." Donghyuk looked over at the other, a smile coming across his face. "You're that actress, right? From... STARZ Entertainment? I was an actor too before I debuted with my group." Donghyuk handed the other the map, standing up straight. "I can walk you to the dance studio if you'd like."

@Donghyuk Jinri was partly watching the man behind the door and partly picking at her white tank top. The song sounded nice so far. She guesses. Idol groups aren't her thing. She only pays attention to the ones that make music she likes and even then it's hard, considering they chain their concepts like a girl changes clothes. But there's been on consist and he hasn't failed her yet as far as music is concerned: Kim Taehyung from L-something or nother. When the door to the booth clicked open, he looked at the man, smiling and clapping her hands. "You were great. I'm sure the finished product will be great. Yeah, so anyway." Standing, she straightened out her skinny jeans, before answering. "I'm totally lost. I've never really been this far into Royal Entertainment, so I have no idea where anything is. Think you can help me find the dance studio?" Pulling the drawn map out of his pocket, she held it out. "My stupid friend couldn't even draw this decently and it got me all turned around. Tell me where to go and I might or might not get out of your hair." Jinri really liked the man's voice and she swears it sounds familiar and he looks familiar too. If he's an idol then there's a good chance she's seem him on TV.

@Sulli The comeback for his group was almost a week or two away, this comeback was the biggest one, seeing as if they didn't do well for this comeback - the group might actually end up disbanding. And as the leader, well, this was actually the heaviest burden on him than before. Donghyuk looked at the sheet of paper, reviewing the many songs that he wrote and actually only taking the ones' that his group gave him the okay on, maybe next time he'll be able to use the songs later, at least his group was becoming more independent. He headed into the recording booth, recording himself singing some of the demo tracks of the many songs, his heart was filled with a lot of burden and pain, but it was something easily concealable. As he neared to the end of recording the last demo, he paused for a moment - noticing an unfamiliar girl outside the door. Pausing and wrapping up the demo session early, Donghyuk walked out of the booth and to the door - staring at the girl a bit confused and concern, it wasn't one of his fans, obviously, since they'd be screaming or something of that nature. "Can I help you?" Donghyuk said, speaking softly as he stared at the girl with his gentle voice.

@Donghyuk "Where the hell is it?" Jinri murmured to herself as she looked at the map drawing of the Royal Entertainment building her friend gave. Stopping to get her bearing, she leaned her leather clad back against the wall while scratching her light blue beanie covered head. Honestly the drawing was crap. How the hell could he expect anyone to be able to read anything on it? She'll have to complain in person if she ever found the dance studio. Sighing, she looked up hoping for a directory or some kind of arrows to point her in the right direction, but that proofed fruitless. No sighs. No arrows. Nothing but hallway, hallway, and more hallway with an accent of doors. Kicking off the wall with her white ankle sneakers, she continued down the way she was going. Maybe one of the rooms had people she could ask directions. The first few doors were dark and locked. Half way down the hall she came across a room with a light. Hallelujah! Looking through the small window, she could see a man in a recording booth singing. He looked familiar. Knocking on the door, she opened it without waiting for an answer. Not wanting to disturb him, she took a seat in the chair in front of the sound table. She'll wait for him to finish. Her friend could wait, since he gave her crap directions in the first place.

@Donghyuk (( idk maybe xD ))

@Suho [SH] [ are we moving to restaurant? ask taehyung. ]

@Taehyung [ where are we moving too? ]

@Donghyuk Suho laughed as he pulled up from his seat. His hyung was always so energetic. Suho let himself be pushed out of the room, laughing softly He grinned at Donghyuk's distressed face. "Hey! Loosen up for a bit, okay? Let's go have fun!" He chuckled softly. He blinked slowly at the thought of Taecyeon coming. He nodding quickly in agreement. "Yeah! You should invite him. He's pretty cool." He smiled happily at the other two that were around him.

@Taehyung Donghyuk blinked as he was suddenly pushed out of the room - with the last bit of his strength he pressed the save button and grabbed his flash drive and phone off the counter. "I don't mind eating but you don't need to push us!" he said a bit surprised at Taehyung's actions. He looked over at the other, humming softly. "I sort of want to get all of this done today so I can relax for the rest of the week you know." he said as he nodded firmly. "Sure, go invite Taecyeon, I don't mind."

@Taehyung [ I didn't see that orz . Okay yeah we can move if you want ! ]

[post deleted by owner]

@Suho [SH] ( the studio. hahaha, so should we continue here or ... ? )

@Taehyung (( which one?? xD ))

@Suho [SH] ( check the room c: )

@Donghyuk ( so you wanna continue here or ...? )

@Suho [SH] Taehyung smiled and bobbed his head hearing the songs being played. Once the song finished playing, he chuckled. "Aigoo, Donghyuk ah, did you miss your members so much that you had this song come out amazingly?" Taehyung ruffled the younger's hair and smiled. He checked his watch and gasped. "Hey, it's already lunch hour. Come on and lets have something to eat. This hyung is treating you guys today." Taehyung said and chuckled. "They're great songs by the way, I think the fans will love it." Taehyung said before he pulled the two maknaes up and about. "Come on, let's go and grab something to bite. We can even invite Taecyeon hyung if he's free." Taehyung said as he cleaned up the area and pushed the two out the door.
