@◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ Byul smiled gently when she spotted the producer headed towards her. She didn't know his face too well yet, having only worked with him once, but the back and forth in their texts had been pleasant enough.

"Good, good," she mumbled absentmindedly, hurrying over to sit by the computer. "Feel free to just dig in while I get this prepped. And please-" She spun the chair around to face him. "Don't tell anyone I showed you thus early. Only three people have heard the fully mixed track so far."

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ The cryptic message had surely had him raising a brow at the invite but luckily for them both, Junhee had always been quite good at being inconspicious and discreet when needed. Years in the industry had to teach all of them quite a few things, though some tended to be faster learners than others.

As lunch time rolled around, he was still in the studio with a fellow producer. He didn't press the other at first not wanting to sound too willing to leave or like he was ditching him, but as soon as he found the right timing he excused himself for lunch, saying he'd be back to check back in on the progress when the other was done. He was a few minutes late as he sneaked past coworkers, idols and trainees that went their own way through the large halls of the company, and once he got to the bottom room the girl was just peeking through the door and he offered a small wave i greeting as he quickly followed her in. He could already feel the delicious scent of the fried chicken and he hummed a little in satisfaction. "So? I don't think I have been followed... I think we're safe" He joked lightly at her secrecy as he allowed himself to sit in front of the food, keeping his eyes on her in expectancy.

@◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ The basement studio was not exactly Byul's idea of cozy get together, but considering what she was about to do could be considered leaking confidential information, it would have to do. She had slung Junhee a text earlier that day, urging him to be as inconspicuous as possible when he made his way down there, and she’d have lunch ready. Though with the hours having passed it was closing up on dinnertime before she had finished up setting the dishes out on the table.

Even in the dim lighting she swore she could see the steam rising off the fried chicken, the smell permeating the air of the cramped studio. Hopefully it wouldn’t linger for too long once they were out. Now, where was he? Byul gently cracked the door open, doing her best to peek out into the hallway.

@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *hangs onto every word of disclaimer in anticipation of something actually worth all the drama. when the punchline drops, he lets out a head-tossing bark of laughter before a little hand-twirling bow for the oh so high praise.
his brows lift curiously with the sagely manner at which you approach garbage collection, but it definitely has him all ears and eye as he watches the expert folding*
Ooooh, no way..
*vocalizes once the bag is reduced to a neat little package. he's eager to get his hands on his own piece of trash to try it out but pauses, your sincere words reducing his eager little grin to something softer*
Whoaaa
*chuckling, he gets to folding—and teasing*
Careful, noonim, it's starting to sound like you might tolerate me~

[ and *✧・゚:* fade *:・゚✧ giving her no chance to defend herself or fight sdjfk ]

@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //watches the whole ordeal unravel right before me, before raising a hand for a moment of silence so i can be well heard/
You have done a good job, and are a fine musician, but i want you to hear me loud and clear, when i tell you - and i say this with no real love, just basic human decency - that you are an unfathomable nerd.
//forcefully puts out the tiny smile trying to dance on my features and shakes my head, turning to gather some stray trash as well/
Nonsense. I had as much business here as you. And now *I* get to teach *you* something for a change. How to fold your empty snack packets into tiny trash.
//demonstrates by holding a chip bag, then starts to fold it meticulously, explaining while my fingers work/
So you fold it three times lengthwise like this... Then we do a 90-degree corner... then we wrap, wrap, wrap... and we tuck in... are you paying attention?
[the method is this - https://youtu.be/YvuOq2nw0cs and I'm also using it irl lmao]
//tucks the bag into a tight little triangle, raising it victoriously, then shooting it into the bin, then grabs another one and pausing/
Thank you for your help. Even if you owed me, because I'm so benevolent. You are good. I enjoyed sitting in silence for a bit. Now you do it, come on, ain't got all day.
//shoots an empty packet your way, so you can get to folding/

[i suggest a sitcom-esque camera fade-out here, after your reply? if you want to write one?]
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Yes!
*does a dorky little fist-pump when he gets the Chrystal Jung seal of approval. he adds in a little chair spin for good measure before pulling back closer to the table to start saving and making sure everything gets where it needs to be*
On it, I'll take care of it all...and clean up
*he gestures vaguely to the moved around equipment and the light accumulation of snack trash and water bottles*
You can leave first if you'd like. Thanks for asking me to do this, noon—J. CJ-nim
I had fun
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //caught in the process of stealing more snacks, I pause in a weird outstretch, looking at you/
Ah.
Let's see then.
//sits back and listens to the raw product, slight smile playing on across my features as I nod to the beat, very glad with how everything turned out, even with us mcgyvering it 95% of the time/
I believe this is a pass, and we can pat ourselves on the backs and get out of here, I'm getting claustrophobic.
Onto the company cloud it goes.
//makes a vague swishy movement at the monitor, as if it will upload the render via voice command and a little finger razzle-dazzle/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *laughs, shaking his head in amusement at the act and holding both hands up in surrender*
You got me there.
Alriiight, no more questions~
*promises, going as far as to cross his heart and hold up a swearing hand while a little grin rests on his lips from the theatrics. curiosity poorly sated, but sated nonetheless, the conversation falls off while he falls back into a working silence. every now and then, the track is played to test smoothness before he's going right back in to make the tiniest of changes. after some time, he makes a little sound of finality*
Okay....I thiiink this might be it. Give it a listen
*draws the start out a little while he makes the very last of a final touch before he plays the track, adjusting the volume a little as it starts*
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //huffs out a laugh from my nose at my little nerd in his element, the sound only faint, triggered by the immediate jump to the MUA's direction/
Ah, so *you* don't think. I see. But in a court of law, I will insist that I never pointed a name and all allegations against me are hearsay.
//drops one leg to sway back and forth, while embracing the other, bent one, leaning my cheek on it idly/
I don't think I'm prepared to accept that it's "for" someone, so it's just... abstract. If anything changes, you'll be the first to know. No more questions, that wasn't part of the deal.
//albeit the words are being dismissive, the tone that accompanies them is light, gently subverting further curiosity spikes/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Well, they say that every day you should do one thing that scares you, sooo
*responds, grinning, during the brief window of silence before he's swiftly shut down as expected*
Yes, ma'am!
*chimes obediently—really hamming up the nerd allegations—quickly resuming the task at hand. though, the lingering feeling of something left unsaid keeps his attention split, ready to listen if need be. the further response prompts a huffed laugh*
What, like, Quin-ssi? I don't think this one's about her
*jokes lightheartedly before pausing to test listen to the section he'd been messing around with. stopping it to resume tweaking, he shrugs a little*
Don't worry about it. Was just curious
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //stares at you for a long time, solely blinking, to convey that indeed I believe you look like a gigantic nerd/
//huddles up back in my chair, assuming the embryonic pose I had in the beginning, as I look at you from behind my knees/
Amazing. You were afraid to ask, yet you still did. I guess I'm going soft.
//stays quiet for a longer pause, mulching over my reply before settling on one at the end.
Shut up and mix the song.
//quiets down behind my folded legs, watching you work and positively hating the gnawing feeling of not being fully honest, so in the middle of silence, I speak up again/
And if it's about my secret lesbian lover, what of it?
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *sputters a laugh*
That just sounds like a nicer way of saying I look like a massive nerd
*lightly shakes his head in amusement before following the motion through a little further to crack his neck, the studio time starting to catch up with him*
Hm.
*the little hum is initially his only response to the cryptic answer and a nervous chuckle follows*
Well, now I'm a little bit more afraid to ask. Buuut, I was wondering if they're personal? The lyrics, I mean
*it's out there. but maybe curiosity really will kill the cat this time, so he quickly backpedals to tack on an additional disclaimer*
Obviously you don't have to go into detail or really tell me much of anything. And you could also just say shut up and mix the song. It's just, the lyrics are pretty heavy for it to just be a character piece, considering you don't do this often
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //nods in quiet agreement, making the needed space, so we fit back into a set that benefits our work/
Easy for you. Because you probably pay attention. You look like a guy who pays attention.
//takes a glance at you through low-hooded eyes/
Depends on what you ask.
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Oooh, I'm honored
*does a cheeky little bow before chuckling, settling back into the two chair setup*
I have- like once
*responds, already taking over to make the change*
It's lowkey easy once you've done it the first time. It just takes a little time to make it seamless
*starts by getting both files on the timeline, sparing a glance your way when curiosity finally wins out*
Okay, I know you said no questions- but can I ask about the song I've been working on for hours?
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //gives the two-thumbs-up okay sign and slips off my headset as well/
Okay, I'm satisfied. Not an easy feat.
//inches away, gathering myself back to one seating space, switching the output device, so we don't need the headsets anymore/
Yeah, have you done that before? I've only seen, but never done, and truthfully - I wasn't paying enough attention.
//shrugs not really apologetically, more "facts of life"/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Ooh yep- almost forgot
*snickers, taking an intermission draw from his water bottle and nodding when the section is pointed out. eventually slotting the headphones back into place, he gives an OK sign. he records the last run in much the same way, making sure to change the register enough that the distinction can be heard*
I'm proud of that one!
*grins, resting the headphones on the mic to reclaim his own chair and maneuver it around the improvised set up*
Wanna put them together and give it a listen?
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ [yes yes pls go for it aszrxdtc3fyvg]

//by the end, I have my legs propped up on a free chair in front of me and crossed at the ankles, the phone returned to its owner, and me expertly twiddling with the 3 needed levers and knobs that I learned/
Good! I like how it sounds, I suggest let's do that last time, that we discussed - where the tone of voice changes mid-sentence.... here... remember?
//slides over there, to poke my pencil at the part mentioned, then rolling back with my chair-charriot, propping my legs back up and headphones back on/
Ready on your cue
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Right-
*deposits the phone into your hand before grabbing the sketchbook to have the lyrics on hand. he voices understanding with the starting point via a little hum*
Take one~
*utters jokingly before recording starts. of everything done today, singing a guide is like a cake walk, kindergarten, etc.; there's one point where he gets a little ahead of a line and he calls the cut himself and apologies before restarting on your cue and completing the full run. once the track runs its course, he moves a side of the headphones off and alternates between a thumbs up and thumbs down, expression questioning*
How's that?

[godmodding and skipping a lil bc recording is tedious and repetitive and bleh jkdskl]
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //nods curtly, glad i don't have to keep explaining myself and sets up camp, extending a hand for the phone, so I can follow it's lead/
Okay, let's go with the chorus first - "Every place that I go..." etcetera.
Turning on snare, properly this time... music cue...
//does the right clicks this time and puts on my own earphones over one erar just in time to play the song a couple beats before the needed mark/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Oh, okay.
*blinks, information loading complete!*
Ohhh! Okay! I get it, I get you
*nods along, a grin of pure clarity soon overtaking his features with each piece and explanation falling into place*
Good idea, noon— CJ!
*steps back into the booth long enough to grab the other headphones so he can hear the track properly and shoots a double thumbs up after adjusting the mic a bit more to his height*
Born ready
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //motions to the stand, reaching to help you guide the mic, and mount it on it, tightening the bolts that keep it in place, before straightening up/
The plan is that we will not split. I'm sure there were insulation panels here...
//looks around, as if the small paravan will jump out of mid-air, then tucks in the recording booth itself, and with a victorious "a-ha!" emerges from it, holding the green screens to be mounted on the side of the mic/
You and your magical teaching device will stay here, and we will record from this mic, I will keep quiet, plus there are the insulation panels here, and they are soundproof.
I mean, after all it's just a guide, nothing serious. We will just stay here, watch and learn, and talk like normal people, not over the stereo, okay?
You ready?
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *only half registers the instructions as they come out it quick succession after being fired off randomly from the start. he's left blinking dumbly by the end, just sort of standing there uselessly before the full name calling that's a little too reminiscent of his mother discovering something he broke and hid jolts him into action*
Yes, ma'am-
*dips back into the booth, after a jerky physical stutter from his body not quite catching up with his mind, and gets to taking apart the mic as instructed.*
Got it~
*returns, lightly waving the surprisingly weighty piece of equipment*
What's the plan?
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //fights the initial urge to pout, kicking it to the ground, because how dare and taps nervously until you show up again, immediately sidling closer to look at the video/
Crash course it is.
//watches in silence for a long moment, learning I the "snare" toggle too soon, throwing you a thoughtful look midway/
Listen here. I have a plan. You're gonna be a big strong man, come on.
//quickly shuffles into the corner closet and brings out a short mic stand, pointing you to the booth/
Dismantle the mic from there. There is a lever on the side, feels like a - you press it and pull the mic, it comes right off, then bring it here.
//continues setting up the stand swiftly, evidently adept at what I'm doing right now, looking up after a moment, only to see you have not moved, and my brows shift/
Today, Yoo Taeyang.
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *the booth is like his own little world, closed off from the reality of producer set up rocket science. he puts on his own headphones while skimming over the lyrics another time, only to immediately get the same feedback that hurts his teeth and leads him to seek you out through the glass with a very wide-eyed gaze before the silent admission has him dissolving into laughter*
"Hold on"
*holds up an index finger once he recovers, taking a bit to look something up on his phone. he can produce, but he's definitely not good enough at it to teach someone else. so...maybe they could learn together. removing the headphones, he crosses the booth yo open the door just enough to poke his head and the phone out—the intro to a video tutorial underway. YouTube, the holy grail.*
Crash course?
[post deleted by owner]
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ //dons a pair of earphones, seeing you off into the booth and suddenly finds myself alone with the turntables and their many many buttons and levers/
//lifts my gaze up to stare at you, helpless, before lifting one of the toggles upwards, only to turn on a terrible feedback into my earphones at which point I screech and pull them off immediately, half a mind to run away into the booth with you/
"I don't think I know what I'm doing"
//mouths through the glass pane that separates us, knowing that you can't hear a sound from my side of the plexiglass/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ Let's see what happens.
*parrots in solidarity, using his phone to snap a picture of the lyrics so you can keep the only existing copy for yourself*
Lead me well, producer-nim~
*chimes jokingly while rummaging through his bag for his water bottle. securing it and a handful of snacks, he pops on over into the booth. after a bit of shuffling to get situated—tossing the rice snacks into his mouth, dusting his hands clean, and then adjusting the mic to watch his height, he shoots a thumbs up*
Ready on your cue!
◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ [A] 1 year ago
@◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ It's so out of pocket, isn't it? The things we say, regarding the most outlandish things, completely unrelated to their function and characteristics...
//speaks out, more deep in thought, than actually leading a conversation, as I twiddle with the lyrics sheet, nodding at your remarks/
Fair point. Okay, let's see what happens.
//puts on the pair of earphones that are prepared for a producer confidently, awaiting many miracles/
◈ yoo taeyang⁻ᵛᵒᶜᵃˡ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 1 year ago
@◈ chrystal jung⁻ˢᵗʸˡᶦˢᵗ *hums his agreements with your suggestion, a few strands of hair at the top of his head bopping when he nods quickly and utters "good idea, really really-" and doesn't even finish the sentence to instead make an addendum note. he huffs a laugh, more of a quick gust of air escaping than any actual sound*
If we can get away with saying texture and color for songs, I think movement should be allowed in the party too
*grins, lightly rubbing his hands together before holding them in a "sure, why not?" gesture*
It's pretty much the same thing as any other recording, honestly. We just have to make sure I'm doing everything we want to come out in the final product, so Whoever has something clear to follow
