@✵ kim hongjoong⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ () kneel harder okno hahahaha it’s all good sweetie, no rushhhh and i apologize too ;;
“Woops, looks like I took your time, sorry bout that but, to be fair, this is very important. I made a song which I think would be perfect for you and the other guy trainees and I /needed/ you to hear it.” She pointed out in a matter-of-fact kind of tone as she continued on with her search, a big grin displayed on her face once she found it. Ryujin then turned from her chair to look over at Hongjoong. “Can’t say this is my best work yet but I think it’s good enough for you to hear. Get ready to have your mind explode, or your eardrums. Whichever is first.” She chuckled softly as she turned her attention back to the screen and clicking on the song she had been hyping up.
Hongjoong lets out a laughter as he rubbed against the spot that Ryujin had just hit him. Teasing between the two was not something he wasn't already familiar from their trainee days. "I was wrapping up dance practice," He said with a little smirk on his lips. "I did not know that I had kept you waiting PD-nim." He quietly shut the door behind him, and he slummed into the chair beside her, extending his legs under the table as he watched her browse the folders full of songs.
He looked around the recording studio, "You have made your self at home," he said boisterously. After glancing around, he turned his attention to the screen. "What is it that has you so excited?" Lifting his back off the backrest of the chair, Hongjoong leaned forward as curiosity and anticipation bubbled in him.
@✵ kim hongjoong⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ The song she was working on was playing in the background softly, still wanting to be aware in case someone knocked or needed her. Hearing a voice call out her name made her turn from her swivel chair, giving a grin before she stood up and bowed politely then ushered him inside. "Hongjoong-ssi, glad you can make it." Once she was sure the door was closed though, her personality did a huge 360, quickly smacking the other on the arm, careful not to hurt him for real though. "What took you so long? I got so excited to let you listen!" She grinned and made her way back to the chair, pausing the song that was playing before scrolling through the list of unreleased songs. "Take a seat, don't be shy. Mi casa, su casa, I basically live here now."
@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ Ryujin's text left a smile on Hongjoong's lips, as he kept his phone in the back pocket of his pants. Taking his bottle of water and his towel around his neck, he left the dance studio with his toned yet throbbing muscles with the once-familiar exhaustion after a long practice session. He took another big gulp from his water bottle, as he wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck, as he walked down the corridor towards the recording studio where Ryujin had asked him to meet. A new song, he loved bouncing off creativity bits with her even when they were trainees together.
Reaching the doorknob, he knocked casually thrice and pushed it slightly open. "Ryujin-ssi...?" he called, his voice low as he leaned against the door frame. He had chosen to avoid using their usual nickname, slightly cautious that there might be others in the room with her.
@✵ kim hongjoong⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ After sending her text, Ryujin placed her phone down and leaned back against the backrest of the swivel chair, closing her eyes for a bit until she was ready to work again. Sitting back up properly, she then searched through the files she had saved, different work-in-progress projects that she had been writing up and editing til she finally found the song she had mentioned to Hongjoong. She decided to tweak a bit here and there, adding some more effects before pulling out the lyrics she had saved on her notes while she waited.
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /her tired eyes followed the younger towards the door, nodding in agreement to her statement of it having been fun. It had been enjoyable working one on one with someone again, and Jennie seemed like the kind of person she jelled well with. And yet the mention of a date made even her sleepy mind wake up a little
A date?
/she huffed and nodded. They were both lonely, that much they had confessed.
Perhaps I'll take you up on that.
No go on, get out of here. You need the rest as much as I do.
But-
/a small smile spread on her lips
I enjoyed this. It was fun.
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ their eyes meet briefly and for some reason only now jennie could see the tiredness seep in her youthful features . she felt bad cause it was partially her fault
you should get that beauty rest, yes. Technically I guess I should too. This was fun unnie
her words were nothing but sincere as was the smile on her face. she hadn’t enjoyed work so much since the tour. jennie moves to pick up her bag that she har brought with her and begins yo shuffle towards the door, stopping right in front of it, turning a bit
if you wanna hang out again, i mean you have my number. sooo… like if you need me for anything or i dunno, a date or work related purposes. I’ll say yes. goodnight, unnie.
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /she looks up, a soft smile on her face though her eyes look heavy from a need of sleep
Cute.
As for when, that's a bit up in the air still. Working on the songs needed.
Tiff is thinking sometime february, so I guess hopefully at some point then you'll hear your voice charming the pants of ladies everywhere.
/she stifles a small yawn
But before then, I should rest. Might just take a break on the couch in here and then keep on working in the morning.
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ yay!
she does a little celebratory happy shake feeling more than satisfied with it and happy it only took a night to complete it
so when does the song actually release ? have you got a date in mind?
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Like it?
/Byul scoffs before softening up completely with a sigh, her attention squarely on the screen to keep herself focused
I love it! It is perfect
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ now it was jennies turn to be taken aback at the soft lips pressed to her forehead. eyes widening just a bit, but she didn’t have much time to react before moonbyul was moving away and redirecting their attention to solely the song . her eyes snap over to the illuminating screen and shakes her head with a smile
nope. I like it. I hope it goes well for you and the song is perceived nicely. A job well done , i think. do you like it?
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /the song slowly fades out, and for a moment byul wonders what to do. Her eyes search Jennie's face before building the courage and leaning closer, placing a gently kiss on her forehead
Thank you for hearing me out there, cutie.
You made for the perfect feature.
/her hands slowly let go of Jennie's waist before clearing
So-eh.... you got any more corrections on the track?
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ please. sugar daddies/mommies should be seeking me out.
the rosey cheeks were hard to miss and jennie almost wants to coo. she never would’ve taken moonbyul for the shy type. she didn’t want to push her to the point of being uncomfortable so the two stay exactly like that for the rest of the song. bodies swaying together to the music that slowly fades out as the song ends
thank you for putting me on the track, this really was therapeutic
she says eventually, not yet moving
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Yeah. Though you're certainly bold, I had not expected that.
/the flush becomes evident as byul swallows heavily, a mix of the tiredness and the fluster of the situation. But as Jennie's second statement comes, her eyes light up and she lets out a laugh
Calm down there, kiddo. They'll think you're a goldchaser.
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ wasnt expecting what? for me to be so bold ?
she her head to the side, a different kind of glint in her this time, maybe a sparkle of confidence as she treads carefully in moving closer
i like dancing with pretty women
an arm comes ups , loosely hanging around moonbyuls neck
even if they’re like eighty years old
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /her hand moved up to scratch at her nape, a short laugh escaping her
Nah, nah, it's all good. I just-
I wasn't expecting this
/the hand remaining on Jennie's waist moves ever so slightly, the thumb gently hooking on her clothing
Can't say I mind
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ she quirks an eyebrow, maybe she had gotten too comfortable too soon despite the natural feeling of ease she felt , moonbyul looked like an embarrassed deer in headlights
too much?
she asks, letting go of moonbyuls hands so she doesn’t continue to make it awkward instead moving forward with the conversation as she dances , movements a bit lesser now in her own quiet embarrassment
and yessss. dancing in the kitchen at 4am , this is the sapphic romance song of the kpop world. one hundred percent
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /byul follows the instructions, trying her best to just move her hips along to the rhythm
I mean, I guess so. Your description was pretty apt though, something to dance to in the ki-
/her words stop as Jennie places her hands on her waist
Uh... I-
/her already awkward, stiff movements halting a little as she flushes red from the surprise
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ that’s what they all sayyy
she rolls her eyes, smile still etched on her lips as she lifts their arms up above their heads, hips rolling in rhythm
just feel the music , don’t even think just move
she slowly lowers their arms , jennies hands guiding moonbyuls to her waist as she sings softly along with her verse
hold my waist and then stop there
touch down, touch down
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /Byul nods along as well, her interest more on Jennie than the track, gauging her reaction to it more than anything else
Stal was right. You were a good fit for the sound
/she grins proudly as she sits back, watching Jennie dance. At least until her hand is grabbed and she's ushered up on her feet, wobbly from sleep
Hey, I know I'm working on my moves, but I'm not usually much of a dancer
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ she nods her head , tapping the chair arms with her manicured nails in anticipation. the track begins to play the soft melody and beat flowing in
it sounds so good
jennie gently claps her hands not enough to actually make noise; she turns full body towards moonbyul and stands up swaying her hips
come on, this is such a dance in the kitchen with me at 4 am vibes. all we gots a studio
she reaches out to take moonbyuls hands, urging her to get up and dance
shut downn, shut downnn
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ I'll certainly give it a shot.
/she quickly overlays the second harmonizing track, playing off small snippets as she gets the timings in
I... Think that should do, ready?
/byul hits play and sits back, giving the full track her first full listen of the new day
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ she has the elder play the song through the last verse a couple times, harmonizing in her dia-esque style
uhuh ohhhhhh
babyyy, baby
shut down
shut doownn
the music abruptly cuts, and she stands with a hand on her hip contemplating before holding a hand up
overlay them please and tell me how that sounds , i tried to harmonize so you maybe have to tweak the timing a bit
she steps out of the booth not before taking off the headphones to pull up the other swivel chair right next to moonbyul in front of the sound board
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Don't stress it. I got my coffee
/she points to the cup while taking another quick gulp, feeling the weight of the liquid shifting a lot. Almost empty....
We got this.
/yet again she lines up the track, ensuring it is ready to record before counting her down. They'd do it together, even if it meant getting a bit less sleep
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ I think we’re almost there
she nods her head, eyes focused elsewhere as she pulls gently on her lip in deep thought
just play the last set for me , pleaseeee. I promise i won’t keep you too much longer
I actually like the bridge a lot
@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ /byul chuckles at Jennie's quick response, happy to have someone with a sense of humour there. She lines up and plays the track for her as signaled, stopping and smiling at the cute reaction from the other.
Ait, starting over. Remember you can go as many times as you want
/she runs it back and starts over again, jamming along until Jennie starts singing. For a moment she sits there baffled, before leaning forwards, using the coffee cup to hide the smile
Damn, she's good
/she lets it go until Jennie signals to play it back and scrambles to do as asked, playing the track off for her in the booth
What do you think?
@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ make it four
comes her quick response with a shake of her little booty ; their playful banter being a breath of fresh air from all the other serious booth sessions she’s recently had; she waits for the cue and then she’s right back at it
baby~ baby~ ooohh
she raises a hand to stop the track, face scrunched in dismay
nah, one more time
when the verse comes back in , she makes sure to keep her voice airy for this specific part
baby~ baby
baby slow down down down
ah ah, lalala
oh ah ah the
she stops again, finger rolling as if to say play it back
