─ dance studio 'cullinan'

@☾ natty suputhipong A frustrated sigh escaped Mingi's lips. He had been trying to get this routine for more than four hours already and honestly speaking, he . It also didn't help him at all since his position in the group was also in charge of dance, he needed to get it done, no matter what. But maybe for now, he should take a little breather; maybe when he came back here, his body could do as he wished. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Mingi moved to stop the music from the laptop when he heard someone cleared their throat. Turning around towards the entrance, he saw one of the sunbaenim of the company, and of course, he immediately bowed at her. "Natty sunbaenim! I didn't know you're there! were you going to use this room? I'm sorry. Let me clean up and wrap things up around here so you can use this room comfortably." He grinned sheepishly. Although he didn't remember other people who would use this Cullinan studio after him, but then again, maybe a big sunbae like herself would get a special treatment, and he couldn't do anything about it.

@♊︎ song mingi ᴳᶦⁿ *Natty sped along with a cold drink from the vending machine in hand. She'd gotten changed and refreshed in the company showers, having no time to stop by the dorms if she wanted to accomplish everything she wanted to that night* *she wasn't planning on any detours, but as she spun around a corner and found a lone straggler in an otherwise empty building, she had to stop*
*she pauses in the doorway to watch the dancing man for a while, and when the song wraps to an end she clears to announce her presence*

@✵ kang yeosang⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ //groans with all my heart, pulls you in and mawls your mouth with a deep kiss, holding your face between my palms, before pulling away, gasping for air, my eyes kinda frazzled and mouth red and spit-slick/
Kang Yeosang, if it ever comes a day where I say "no" to this question, I want you to strangle me with my own belt. You hear?
//looks at you very seriously, still holding your face in my hands/

@✵ jung wooyoung⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Is it top priority that we get it done? Because I think we may have conflicting priorities if that is the case.
*groaning, my head easily tilts in the direction of your tugging. Teeth nipping at your bottom lip, I tug it between my own to on it needily*
Hey, Woo, want me to blow you?

@✵ kang yeosang⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ //kisses you back, humming over your mouth and pulling you in tighter/
At this rate, we're never going through the dance routine today...
//threads fingers in your hair, tugging gently just enough to elicit a reaction, never separating my mouth from yours

@✵ jung wooyoung⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ We both know I'm just happy to see you.
*rubs my thumb over the back of your leg thoughtfully, thinking of how pretty your hair looks today as I lean in to seal our lips together in a deep kiss.*

@✵ kang yeosang⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ //wraps legs around your waist/
hi. is that a mic in your pocket or you're just happy to see me?
//nips at your mouth

@✵ jung wooyoung⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ *pushes you against a wall, hands firm on the backs of your thighs holding you up*
I missed you baby.
*brushes my lips against yours in a teasing motion, wanting to torture you little*

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ () I'm so so sorry for the late reply, just been out of it both physically and mentally ;n;

Everything just looked confusing to her. Where were the hand placements supposed to be again? She had no clue at all so she just stood there after she tried it, eyebrows furrowed as she squinted her eyes, as if it was going to make the older trainee zoom in through her eyes, only to sigh and pout. "Can you please do it again eonnie?" Sua asked with a sheepish grin, rubbing her nape, the confidence from earlier suddenly fading as she felt quite sheepish.

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Sua's eyes widened as formed an o, giving a slow clap as she watched the older girl dance. "That looks cool, how'd you do that? Is it hard?" She asked, trying to copy the move but failing miserably which she laughed off before standing straight, giving a playful salute. "I'm ready to learn that move master." Sua playfully wiggled her eyebrows then hummed softly.

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Sua's grin widened when she felt Wheein pat her head. If she were a cartoon, her tail would probably be wagging like a dog. "Alrighty then, hmm? Not fully, let me go do that real quick." She chuckled then started to stretch her arms, legs, even her neck, hearing a few cracks before she moved her head around. "I'm all prepped up now~ What's first?"

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "Then hiphop it is! Although, is it easy to learn it? I mean I can learn choreographies, but I'm not the best if I need to perform right away. I would need a hella practice." Sua explained, giving a sheepish grin, rubbing her nape before she placed her phone on a nearby table in case it would fall from practice.

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ “Style? I’m not sure…” Sua brought her hand up to her chin, rubbing it with her thumb and index finger, squinting a bit while she pursed her lips as if in thought. “Ah!” She grinned as she smacked her palm as if having an epiphany. “If you were to look at me, what kind of style do you think would suit me, eonnie?”

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "Nah, you're the kind one here. But anyway, shall we move on from the who is kinder cause i'm sure we'll never get over who's kinder among the two of us at this rate." The younger girl joked then clapped, already feeling at ease with Wheein. "I'm sure they are, trust me. Ah yay! Thank you! For both your time and uhhhh yes time, also skill." The rapper exclaimed dramatically before stretching her arms then shaking them as if warming up. "Where do we start?"

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "See? That's what angels say!" She exclaimed, a big smile still on her face before she chuckled softly then pulled her hand back, clapping a bit. "I bet they'll all welcome you with open arms. Everyone here's nice, I mean, those that i've met, but I'm sure everyone is, definitely." The girl nodded to herself then hummed softly. "So, do we just dance now or do you need a schedule? I don't want to impose any longer on your practice time."

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ Sua shook her hand as she continued to grin. “Of course you’re an angel, and you’re welcome.” She chuckled then hummed in thought, crossing her arms while using one arm to rub her chin while thinking. “Yeah, a few months, I guess? Definitely! How about you? Have you met others? The coaches maybe? Other trainees? Oh oh how about our seniors?” She was pretty much shaking in excitement.

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ () no worries owo

“That makes you my eonnie then! I’m 2 years younger, so Wheen eonnie it is.” She said with a grin, the grin on her face widened when Wheein said she’d help her out. “You’re truly an angel eonnie! And of course, i’ll be happy to be your first trainee friend. Wow, I have another trainee friend. This day just keeps getting better and better.” A chuckle could be heard from Sua after, shaking her own head in amusement of it all before she offered her hand. “Shall we shake on it then?”

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "Awwww how sweet of you Wheein-ssi, oh should I drop formalities? Wait is it wrong to ask how old you are? How to ask that in a subtle way? How many years have you been living on this earth?" It was obvious how excited Sua was from meeting a new friend, from the way she was almost vibrating in her position. "Then, would you, I don't know, maybe help me with dancing?" She rubbed her arm as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other then grinned. "Oh i'm a trainee too! So we're definitely fellow trainees."

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "Ah me? Oh right, of course me since there are only two of us here." She gave a sheepish grin while rubbing her nape before nodding eagerly. "Yup! Oh nice to meet you Wheein-ssi, I'm Sua, Moon Sua, you can call me Sua or Moon or Moonie, I honestly don't mind any nickname." A soft chuckle escaped from the girl's lips before she let out a soft sigh, a smile still playing on her lips. "Errr... dancing isn't really my forte, I mostly rap, singing is a bit of a stretch at times too but dance is just really-" She gestured with her hand going down for a dive before grinning cheekily. "Oh are you just new here Wheein-ssi?"

@✵ jung wheein⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ It was awfully quiet walking down the halls until Sua heard music from one of the dance studios. Being the curious one she was, the girl started making her way over to the said room, taking a look over at the little glass by the door. She hadn't seen the girl before, maybe she was new, she thought to herself. Her curiosity got the best of her when she slowly /and/ carefully opened the door, hoping she wouldn't disturb the girl dancing but, it was too late. Sua's eyes were as wide as saucers, as if she had been a deer caught in headlights. The short-haired girl quickly bowed, again and again, giving a sheepish grin. "I'm so sorry for ruining your practice, you were just so... so good! Like wow..."

@☼ hwang hyunjin Unfathomable, I know
*deadpans before snorting at Meemstache, a light 'so stupid' floating on the back of an equally childish giggle for the childish gesture*
That's all I can ask for~
*replies, voice just as flowery as I reciprocate the eye flutters, flinching and leaning back to put some distance between myself and your wayward hands*
I miss you too,
*grabs your extended hand, pulling it back down to a normal level to hold*
But it'll pass before you know it~ I'll be busy with whatever insanity the company decides to put me through. And you with tour. And the days'll just fly right on by. It'll be the end of the year before you know it!

@❄ lee joowon ᵐⁱˢᵒ You? Multi-talented Lee Joowon can't play an instrument, huh?
I never thought I'd be able to one up you so much
*tugs on the ends of your blonde hair, holding it up on my top lip and pretending it's a mustache*
Look, look, look... Meemstache -
*drops the piece of hair, twirling it around my finger instead* Oh yeah, I heard something about him knowing flowers
Or something along those lines - maybe the shrimp cake mentioned it
I don't know if I'll play an instrument, but I'll make sure to line up the perfect playlist to make the first meeting with you perfect
*flutters my eyes at you in a mock sweet fashion* It'll definitely have to be after the tour... We're so busy right now, it's insane... *sighs, throwing up an arm and narrowly avoiding your face* Bulltttttt because I want you to meet her now. And I don't want to leave you. I miss you already... .

@☼ hwang hyunjin *abandons the fake noses to resume playing with your hair, humming to show I'm listen listening. softening at the way your talk about your mother, my fingers still for a bit before I resume and speak when the window's opened*
Well, I can't play a single instrument to save my life..so sunflowers, it is!
*chuckles, immediately verbalizing a plan so I can't forget it*
I'll get Taeyang oppa's gomo to give me THE prettiest bouquet. I remember him saying they look nice with ger...gerbles, no-...I'll figure out what they're called! And it'll be so pretty, period! And you can play some Vivaldi
Are you thinking after tour for when? Since you're leaving so soon

@❄ lee joowon ᵐⁱˢᵒ Okay, so mental note, act as your boyfriend
*snickers into your hair, nuzzling into you like a happy puppy*
You're right. We're gonna need to actually use our noggins and think of a plan
But later
I don't want to think with my brain right now
*stifles a yawn, eyes slipping shut on their own with the next episode of the show we'd been more watching in the background at this point running through the opening song*
Umma's not really materialistic... But she loves music
She used to be a violinist in a fancy orchestra, and sometimes I'll play the violin for her
And if that doesn't work, she loves sunflowers.
She could be having the worst symptomatic day ever, but if you play some Vivaldi and bring her some fresh sunflowers...
It's like she's taken to a new world where she's free from the pain.

@☼ hwang hyunjin Ha! No no, don't do that
*nods assuringly*
I'll take you to meet them, for sure! We'll have to plan it properly since I don't just want to do a one-day trip if I'm going home
*wrinkles my nose, as what I'm about to say fully registers*
It'll be the first time so, it deserves more than that- It'll have to be when both of us manage to catch a break. But,
*smiles, miming taking notes*
Got it. Nooo kiwiii.
What else should I know? What does she like as far as gifts?

@❄ lee joowon ᵐⁱˢᵒ Oh? Should I be your pretend boyfriend when I meet them, then?
*teases with a laugh, shaking my head when my cheeks are squished*
I wanna meet them though. I've never had the opportunity to go over to a friend's house and meet their family
Should I bring a gift when I meet them?
*prattles on with more questions and reflections spoken aloud, acting as if you've already agreed*
Oh! My mum's allergic to kiwi.

@☼ hwang hyunjin *snorts a laugh as soon as the over-the-top 'praise' leaves your lips*
Awww~
*cooing squishing your cheeks*
As long as you haven't shown her the private insta. I need to make a first impression before we go that far
*laughs, shifting a bit more comfortably—the show all but forgotten as i support my head against a curled arm*
I've told my halmo and halbo about you too, but they sort of just humor me about it since I have "a billion friends" and I don't plan on marrying you hahaha

@❄ lee joowon ᵐⁱˢᵒ Of course. I call umma every week and I try to visit as often as I can
And she's always curious about how I'm doing
I tell her I'm in good hands. I've got a hot tamale for a best friend
A real blonde who dotes on my hand and foot
*teases you in a sing-song voice, sinking into the gentle feeling of your fingers running through my hair*
*shifts a bit more, bringing up one of the pillows to cushion my shoulders*
I think she'd like you even if you were misbehaved. I've never had a best friend so she already loves you
I showed her your music videos too
*snickers into your lap, bracing myself for any attack that might come*

@☼ hwang hyunjin *once I can feel all of my limbs again, I happily accept the snuggles, fingers idly carding through your hair and humming for you to continue with your question*
Your mom?
*repeats, a grin creeping back onto my llips before I nod*
Of course, I would love to! Wahh, you talk about meee? I'm touched~
I'll be on my best behavior and everythingg
