@☼ kim hanbin it was a pretty slow but good for hayi, she took care of all the, actual, important things she had to do. she looked at the same as she debates on if she was going to take her lunch now, go home, practice her own singing techniques, or even just stay back to do some other small things she could do at work rather than at home. she checked her watch as she hummed to herself, deciding to go practice a bit, as she always told herself, there is always room for improvement. so, she would find herself in the practice booth quite a bit, it also gave her practice on the keyboard as she's been trying to strength her way with instruments. she was sat at the keyboard as she played random notes on the keys, humming or singing out the pitch of the key. she was so immersed on what she was doing, she didn't notice the lingering person on the other side of the door of where she is. she was so focused that the sound of the door closing startled her. she jumped a bit and let out a small squeak as she turned her head, holding her chest dramatically. her eyes widen, the person who she has been avoiding is right in front of her. she felt like she saw a ghost as she just stared at the man. accidentally, she ghosted hanbin, which than caused her to avoid him at work, which hasn't been the best thing. her voice coming out in a stutter as she looked at the man, trying to quickly gather her things as she bows her head a bit. "uh- i- um- i-i'm sorry!! i didn't realize someone who was coming to use this room." she said quickly as she avoided even looking at the man right in front of her.

@◈ lee hayi⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ It was lunchtime and Hanbin had been heading out for some coffee when the familiar voice caught his attention. It had been a while since he'd heard her, but her voice had a very unique tone, it would be recognizable pretty much anywhere and to anyone. With a quick peek through the glass door, he got the confirmation he needed as his eyes landed on the girl's reflection in the mirror. He'd been trying to talk to her for a while but hadn't gotten he chance. He saw her around occasionally but it never seemed like the right time. Initially, he thought it was exactly that. Just terrible timing that he always seemed to catch her just as she was rushing off elsewhere, but the more this happened, the more he began to notice how she actively avoided him, turning away whenever they headed the same way, leaving the room when he entered. He didn't understand it. In fact, there were a few things he didn't entirely understand. Which was exactly the point of why he wanted to talk to her. Pushing his palm against the cold surface of the practice room door, he pushed it open, not giving the girl a chance to back out as he closed it behind him, loud enough to get her attention.

"Come on, Yuqi, you got this. No need to be afraid," Byul cheered over the loud music. "Just whatever pops into your mind, go with it. Nail a few bars and I'll give you extra credit." She glanced over from the girl as the door opened, raising her head in a short greeting at the late arrival.

*after coming up a little late, i bow nervously to everyone already in the room, naturally finding my spot as close to Sua as possible*
Was the teacher mad? What's our assignment?
*whispers quietly, blinking big doe eyes at the girl rapper, trying to guess what the senior ladies are preparing to do*
☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ 4 months ago
jennie gladly accepts her mic , not minding having herself thrown into the circle. jennie hadn’t done a freestyle since she had her lessons with TOP. she could use the practice, she supposes. glancing at her friend she offers a little smile of encouragement
you got this YuYu , it’s only hard if you overthink it. I promise
she managed to whisper in a long string of words before Moonbyul pressed play.
◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 4 months ago
Byul shrugged and headed over to the soundsystem, giving a small glance back at the singer for a moment. "Just... Go with the flow. Rap whatever first tumbles into your head, and if its absolute -" The coach paused and gave another shrug. "Eh, then we can all work in it together. I'm sure Jennie and Sua wouldn't mind, would ya guys?"
Without more warning, she pressed play, nodding her head along to the rhythm blasting from the speakers. "Take it at your pace."
☾ song yuqi [A] 4 months ago
*Yuqi has her arm in the air waving at Jennie as she joins the class. Her friend's face had been sorely missed during her hiatus, and Yuqi for one, was happy to have her back. It made having to do this class a little more bearable. She greets Sua a bit more demurely, bowing her head in respect to the company member.* Oh! I'm going first? *she glances around, hoping someone would correct her* Oh boy, okay um - I guess - pump the music, sunbaenim! *That was lame. even for her.*
◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 4 months ago
"Look at us," Byul chuckled as the door swung open. "Being blessed with the presence of the one and only Ruby Jane." She spun the mic absentmindedly as she pursed her lips. "Well, I had thought of this as a three person exercise, but would be good to balance the fem energy here with a man, buuuut-"
Byul glanced at other two girls and shrugged. "I'm willing to make it work either way. Yuqi, your voce hits that y deep register, yeah? Take the center spot, hit the first verse, and then we'll workshop from there. How does that sound?"
☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ 4 months ago
fresh off her injuries, jennie had been told to take it ‘slow’ when getting back to her normal routine. a lot of physical activities was discouraged and while it annoyed her just a bit because ’why the am i cleared if I’m going to be treated like a baby’ she listened, hoping to be back on stage as soon as possible for their next promotion cycle. thank god theyre on break. she pulled the doors to the practice booth open revealing three girls; luckily there was an air of familiarity amongst them all
look alive people , i know you missed me
she said , lips tugged upwards into a small smile. the statement itself was debatable given her track record but at least yuqi was there. she gave a bow to their teacher of the day, her eyes shifting downwards towards the mics that the ladies had in hand
what’s todays exercise?
◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 4 months ago
Byul's lips pulled back in a bright smile as Sua raised her hand. If there was one person there she trusted to be able to nail a performance like this, it was her. "Of course, of course." She flipped the second mic in her hand before marching over and presenting it to the younger Moon. "Show them what a debuting rapper can do," she whispered and winked.
♊︎ moon sua ᴸᵁᴬ 4 months ago
It had been awhile since Sua had been to any class, having just finished joining produce 999, she was mentally and physically exhausted. She was so close to debut, and she knew she did her best, but maybe she just wasn't cut out for such a group. Every single time she was about to debut, she just couldn't seem to reach that dream. Maybe the problem was her?

And so, she watched as Byul, one of her oldest friends, and someone she very much looked up to, hold a class in front, with one of her seniors. "I'll try..." She called out, raising her hand with a smile, trying to hide the uneasiness she had been feeling since the end of the show.
☾ song yuqi [A] 4 months ago
*Ha ! Nailed it. Yuqi smugly accepts the mic, staying standing behind her teacher with her toughest "game look" on her face while she too awaits to see which victim wishes to work with her*
*the longer she stands, the more acutely aware that she has just taken on something more than she can chew. Quickly, her cocky expression switches to a more anxious one.*
Come on! Anyone! I'll take anyone! *she pleads through nervous laughter* Anyone?
*her voice raises an octave on the final 'anyone' before plummeting to a more monotonous tune on the repetition* Anyone.
◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 4 months ago
The response was faster than Byul had expected. She pursed her lips and raised her brows, stepping on over to the idol that had raised her hand. "Impressive, Yuqi." Her hand held out one of the mics to her. "Ait, anybody got the balls to match this bravery?"
☾ song yuqi [A] 4 months ago
*this was gonna be tough. Yuqi wasn't exactly known for her mastery of the Korean word, and when it came to lyric writing, she often fell flat. That's why she had band mates! But Moonbyul's class seemed like an opportunity to work at a weak point of hers and... Well, it didn't help that she was incredibly good looking*
*She was currently sat at the front of the studio, nearest to Moonbyul. When the call for volunteers comes, her arm shoots in the air*
Me! Pick me! I volunteer as tribute!

[Starter for Rap class, needed material - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhGRGPHC9UM
One guy, two gals, we can workshop if we're getting more people on. Would be cool to see you guys write up some freestyle too if you want. ]

"Okay, kids, it's time to build that stage cred."
Byul claps her hands gently, a big grin on her face. "I want to see you all fired up and your brains firing off. Today's task is going to be straight forward. I'll hit a jam on the boombox, let you guys get familiar with it. Write down some lines, workshop between each other and make one coherent track together."
The coach flips a mic in each hand and looks at the gathered idols. "Any volunteers?"

@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ //grins mischievously, glad that we're on the same wavelength and it's going quite well so far, taking a sip of my own water while you prep/
//i nod shortly to show I'm ready and start off with the line we agreed upon, listening to the guitar riffs build up wilder and wilder with every repetition of the line, astonished at the way your fingers seem to fly across the strings so fast, and i simply go on with the rest of the track, giving you a sign to keep going in the same manner; soon i get to excited that i can't contain it, letting out little "Wooo"s and "Oooh"s between my lines, prancing around the room with the rhythm of the fast string sounds/
"illa illa, illa illa, illa illa, gogobebe
illa illa, illa illa, illa illa, pum-pum-pum gogobebe!"
//with that lack of drums, i have to be the one counting the last beats vocally and i belt out the last word just as the distortion also dies out, letting out and excited yelp and lifting both hands up for high-fives/
"Yet"??? I've been impressed since i came in! But you really outdid yourself and my expectations! Whoooaaa, I'm so glad it turned out so good, it's better than it was in my head! Wah... Oof, i need water, I'm getting old...
//laughs breathlessly, all the jumping around while singing loud taken the toll on my voice and i scramble for the water bottle/
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 8 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /my eyes alternate between following your moving form and glancing down at my own fingers as they smoothly move through the strings. all the while, my crossed leg bouncing a little beneath the guitar as I tap my foot to the rhythm/
Let's goo
/I respond back in an excited tone, bringing my free hand up in a rock sign before shrugging a little at your question as I glance down at the paper/
Sounds perfect, I'll give you some y riffs
/lets out jokingly as I push myself up from where I'd been sitting, straightening the black instrument and leaning down to untangle the cable from my foot before pulling on it a little to give me some more space to move. I then give you a short motion of my head as I play the last 'gogobebe' bit to indicate the starting point, allowing you a round of the line to get into it before leaving the main flow of the song and letting my fingers slide through the strings for some improvised riffs. we repeat the same lines a good few times with me trying out a few different versions, black and dyed locks slightly dancing around my face as I move around with you this time bringing it to the end with some distortion and a pleased expression/
Impressed yet?

deureseu kodeun bling bling bling...
//continues with the song as we go, lightly dancing around the room, the happy feeling of how well we're doing being impossible to contain, doing some more of the song, before making the sign to cut, so we both to and i clap again/
Yaaaaah, i really like what's happening!
I don't wanna boss you around though, improvised guitar riffs are just as y, do you wanna try something out?
How about here? I can repeat... this part a couple time, and you can do whatever you feel like fits?
//comes over again, to point at the 3:10 mark, where the lyrics say "ppeonppeonhage nora michin deushi jeulgyeo"/
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /the positive reinforcement just boosts the performance and my head continues to bob along to your voice and the beatless rhythm of the song/
Bum kkakkakkung, tatatung
/I mutter along with you, still through the strings as I let you continue through the part until you bring it to a stop, ending it with an improvised adlib as you clap enthusiastically/
Sure, you're the boss
/I let out with a quick nod, sparing the music sheet a short glance as you guide me through the ideas and looking up a little at the question, head tilting a little in thought before I shrug lightly/
Could be done multiple ways, I did it with some bending here so just call it that here and I'll know
/as I respond, my fingers naturally move through the guitar's neck, unconsciously searching for the right placement. with that, I play through the short build-up tempo, silencing the guitar right on time for the low 'drop drop drop' that I use to cue you in before riffing us into the chorus just as your own voice sounds over the instrument, the following sound being something more simple and chill just to keep the rhythm of the song/
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 9 months ago
@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ //nods to confirm the drum section, while counting in, and does the intro, giving a thumbs up with my free hand at the sound you manage to rip from the instrument/
//following that, i do the first verse without much preamble, just following the rhythm, and then grin widely at your input when i do my parts/
Bum kkakkakkung, tatatung, rhythm-e, momeul matgyeo... nanananananaaaaa~
Woooooooo, that was awesomeeeeeeee!! Okay, i loved that one.
//claps excitedly, from where i am standing up and walking around while singing - a way I've always found more comfortable, than just sitting down, especially when creating something/
Okay, now, can we skip ahead a bit, and run over the chorus, I'm thinkingggg...
//skips over to you again, to point the spot i am focusing on/
So, here where it goes "drop, drop, drop" I'm thinking everything going quiet, instrumental-wise, and when i go "gogobebe!" - again one of those... what are they even called, i feel so dumb... when you make the guitar... scream.
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /nods positively at your confirmation, keeping my eyes on the paper and squinting a little at the lyrics once you mention the beginning, skimming right back to the first few lines/
Where?
/I question again as you approach and lean over the sheet, peeking over your shoulder as you scribble onto it before letting out a quiet chuckle as I nod again in understanding/
Alright, alright... So like-
/I pull once more at the strings, reproducing the first two rounds of the intro at a fastened pace and in my own lowered tone just to exemplify, allowing the guitar sound to reverberate with my improvised vocals before pulling it to a stop right where the *let's go* would've been/
And then the drums come in, and we go right into the song, right? Let's give it another go
/I agree shortly, bringing my gaze back to you as you make your own count this time before repeating the intro at a normal pace this time. we get through the first part and as your part comes up I add a short riff as requested, glancing up at you to check for a reaction, head still bobbing a little to the rhythm even though it lacks the percussion for now. I also end up adding a slight alteration for a small build-up as we lead up to the rap part/
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 9 months ago

@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ //gives a thumbs up on the rapping topic, squinting at the crying sound you rip from the strings, then nods in approval/
Exaaaaactly, nice, lets try that one out. Oh--... uh...
No, it's not.. it's right in the beginning, let me...
//pops down from my stool to come over and look at the lyric sheet, shaking my head when i realize the situation/
Right. Well. It goes in right... here //marks a tick on the sheet// right after the second 8-count of "illa illa", she improvizes it, but I'm so used to it, i really gaslit myself into thinking it's there originally... Anyway.
Lets go over this again, AND can you also add one more uhmm.... riff? right before my line "bum kkakkakkung", you'll feel it. Okay
1, 2, 3, 4 - 1, 2, 3, 4 - illa illa illa illa...

[btw this is the recording I'm basing off https://youtu.be/N1pvTmw81xI aeszrxdcfv]
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /lets out a small playful scoff which suppresses the quiet chuckle that threatens to escape at the little dramatic expression, instead lowering my eyes to the guitar as you follow straight into the intro/

/we run through the track once and it's not sounding bad at all if we're honest, although of course we can still make it a little more interesting, and that's why we're here. I shortly offer a shake of my head at the light apology/
Nah, it's fine, I think I got it down... You can keep doing just the last few words
/assures confidently, offering a quick 'ok' sign with my fingers before giving you a motion of my head in question for tips and opinions on the rest, which you are quick to offer/
Sooo, something like this?
/taking note of your description, I bring my fingers back onto the strings, bending them a little as I play through heavily distorted chord for a few seconds before bringing it to a smooth stop/
Like that?
/questions, glancing down at the paper to find the part you mention, brows furrowing a little as I run my eyes through the lyrics/
"Let's go"? Is that during the bridge?
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 9 months ago
@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ //fakes a gasp, patting at my jeans frantically/
Whaaaat, are my pants on fire???? Where??? I can smell something burning, aaaaaah-- Oh, wait it's just me, I'm that hot.
//does a little squiggle in my chair, accompanied by a little "uh-uh-uh" before laughing shortly and quickly going into the song with the "illa illa illa illa"/
___________________________
//after a round of the whole track, i give us a round of deserved applause and reach over to take a sip/
Okay, so as you noticed, I can't rap, i just mark the endings of the lines, sorry i didn't warn you.
//grins sheepishly/
If you want, i play a recording of the rap so you don't lose rhythm. But that was a good run! I think we can spice it up now, okay, how about right at the beginning, where we say "illa illa", do one of those long high-pitched riffs, that almost sound like microphone feedback, you know the ones? And then right when Jen goes "let's go" - cut that abruptly, and let the drums start? You feel? Wanna try it? What do you think?
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /my lips twist into a teasing smile as I munch on the still-warm food, humming a little at the taste/
Their corn dogs are truly the best
/i let out in contempt before facing you again as you speak, expression changing into fake shock./
Ouch- Liar?
/eyebrows slightly furrowed, I bring a hand to my chest feigning hurt before setting my food down next to yours and leaning down to grab my water bottle/
Yeah I got it!
/states, gesturing to the small paper sheet propped up on one of the amps by my side, and then bringing the drink to my lips for a quick sip/
We just play through it and I'll adjust as we go /says, as I finger through the chords in a quick movement, adjusting the distortion before giving you a nod/
Just let me know if you wanna change anything /states, tapping my foot on the ground a few times as I count down to the start, immediately following up with the intro/
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 9 months ago
@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ "Miss noona"-- Oh for christ's sake, Seungjoo-ya!
//swats at you without any real malice, before i "toast" my own corn dog with you and dig in, the stick poking out as i hold the thing between my teeth while i move stuff around, then bite and leave it back onto the box, so my hands are free/
No, it's because you're icky.
//finds a handheld mic, that is easy to set and finally takes my spot with a grin, crossing a leg over the other/
I don't have any notes with me, because this song is ingrained in my brain at this point, so... I will suggest for us to start, give it a go, and smooth out details as we go? Deal?
Do you have your chords and everything? How do you normally do this?
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /the use of honorifics was definitely something I would often forget when I first got back to South Korea, but through the process of training and getting around the company, it was carefully drummed into my brain/
Aight, miss noona
/I let out playfully with a short chuckle, eyes dropping to the offered corn dogs as the delicious scent fills my nostrils/
Thank you~
/I say as I take the corn dog into my hand, lifting it up a little as if imitating a 'toast', before bringing it to my lips in a big satisfied bite/
Well, at least you got to visit Indonesia, you better made
/my words are accompanied by a light laugh and a shrug of my shoulders, keeping my eyes on you as you settle in next to me/
Oh, is that all that itching because you'll be working with us? I'm honored
/I joke, though it is honestly always a pleasure for me to get to work in such projects/
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 9 months ago
@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ Ack, don't "sunbae" me, that's terrible, i'm nothing more than a noona.
//hands you one of the snacks on a stick, then drops the box on a closed piano nearby and rolls up a chair for myself to be closer to you/
Well, your warm-up sounded great from out there, I'm very excited to do this with you today!
//drums my fingers together, grinning, and straying around the room again, this time to fetch a microphone stand and perch it in front of the chair/
Well, truth be told, right after we landed from Indonesia, we got right up into comeback rehearsals, so safe to say break time is over. I'm not complaining though, we had a rest in Jakarta, and the break before that, so honestly, I've been itching to get back in a studio. It just itches to come out, you know? Can't keep it down...
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 9 months ago
@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ /arriving just a little earlier than the planned time, I'd used the few extra minutes to get the instruments ready, setting up my spot and material before moving on to the tuning. there wasn't much to tune at all considering I kept the chords in good shape and made sure to tune it whenever I got the chance, so by the time I heard the knock on the door, I was already going through some of the notes we'd be adding to your song. your voice brings my fingers to a stop and my eyes to your figure/
Sunbae, hello! Not at all, was just warming up
/there is a slight politeness to my greeting, which is almost overshadowed by the comfortableness you carry along with your aura and that had made me feel at ease since the moment we'd been first introduced. my lips spread into a warm smile at the offer and I set down my guitar to accept the food/
Thank you... I've been doing pretty good, how about you? Hoping you've found the time to rest and enjoy some time out of the busy schedules?
