─ recording studio 'nizam'

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ / the small kisses, short but seeming in endless supply, was just the kind of energyboost Byulyi needed. She responded in kind as best she could, only struggling a little as she let out a small laugh, her lips pulling back in a bright smile.
20 minutes
/ she reaffirms and nods, waiting to say bye but instead getting another nugget of affection that leaves her a bit speechless. Her breath felt shallow as she sat there, the same happy goofy smile on her lips as she slowly turned her chair back to finish up work when Jennie had closed the door. The words kept repeating in her head as she began saving and closing down programs, absentmindedly having bites of the food whenever she could spare a second with her hands. She did her best to hurry without scarfing down the food, and just 21 minutes later she peeked her head out.
I guess I went a minutes over. Woops

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ 20 minutes.
/ she nods in confirmation, bending down to steal one last kiss from byulyi's lips. even though she was seeing her in a couple minutes, literally, Jennie kissed her again and again and again until she felt satisfied.
mmmm , okay. 20 minutes
/ she repeats , pulling away to grab her purse. she points a finger at byulyi
hurry, I miss you already
/ corny? yes. extremely cheesy? yes. is it true? absolutely yes. Jeannie was obsessed. she blows a few more kisses as she closes the door behind her finally exiting the room five minutes later

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ I never said it would stop us
// byulyi chuckled, cheeks turning ever so slightly red. She wanted to thank whoever installed the lighting in the room, for she hoped it made things less visible.
You do know I meant it when I said you were free to come over whenever, right?
// she watched the younger untangle herself, already missing her warmth the second she was off her. Even with the food there it was not same.
I promise I will hurry and eat up, and I'll be with you in like... 20 minutes?

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Oh , come on
she mimics , scrunching her nose a little
you thinj i’d let nosey neighbors or roommates stop us from doing anything. need I remind you of the kitchen counter?
she lifts a perfect brow , clearly not ashamed of having sullied the island in which her roommates once ate on
But! I was hoping you’d say that because I have my bag packed already, i was just coming in to see how far into work you were
she begins to move, untangling herself from byulyi to reach over to bring the food back to her before fully shifting off her lap
finish your food and whatever else you have to do , i’ll be waiting in the lobby, okay?

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Later is fine
// she replies, having had no opinion on either option. She got to spend time with the person she felt closest too. Little else could measure up to that. And the way she sat there so confidently playing with her felt... nice. She couldn't find a better word for it when she tried. It was just so nice.
Oh, come on
// byulyi chuckled happily
You think I'd let work stand in the way of a hearty meal like that? Trust me, I am nothing if not a bottomless hole for food
// but other things had her mind as well. She was halfway tempted to hurry with the food with Jennie's suggestion hanging over her, yet she knew better than to do so.
I just hope you will find it as cozy as I do. And at least we have no nosey neighbours or roomates to bother us~

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ later.
she says without missing a beat, fingers threading through byulyi’s hair, gently playing with the strands absentmindedly. she felt so high right now, a type of high no type of drinking or drugs could give her- she’s sure there’s nothing stronger than this
are you almost done here anyway ? because you have noodles to finish eating but alsooo, if you are i was thinking about having you show me your apartment you want me to visit sooooooo badlyyy.

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // As much as she tries to hold it back there is no stopping her bright gummy smile from showing. Jennie could gladly consume her life and she'd be happy. This woman had singlehandedly managed to wake parts of Byulyi that she had almost forgotten.
I'd hope so. I had your voice in mind when working on it.
// she looked up at Jennie: hopeful, ravished and in love. This woman had come into her life like a hurricane, but had stayed. Stayed to help Byulyi understand more of what she wanted in love. To give her a vision of how good things really could be.
Want to give it a go now, or later?

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ oh most definitely
/ she mumbles in between kisses letting the fiery passion simmer to adoring pecks, catching byulyi’s lips again and again in a series of kisses , she lets them travel away from to the corner of her lips then spreading across her face. non transferable lipstick for the win. though, jennie would love to send byulyi around with his lipstick stains letting the whole world know she was taken- well, sort of taken. when she’s finally done smothering byulyi with kisses she pulls back just enough to reveal her gummy smile
and- as for the song, i will definitely sing it for you if you want. I like it a lot. Musical genius Moon Byulyi

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // there is no shame to Byulyi's actions as she kisses Jennie back, hungrily seeking her lips to confirm that this is indeed real and not just a dream. Her hands move up the younger's back, one settling itself into her long hair as the other moved back down to the small of her back. There, she gently drew clawed at the fabric of her dress to keep Jennie as close as she could.
I guess I'm doing the right thing then
// she mumbled out, trying to keep the kiss going despite the smile on her lips. There was an extra rush in being open about something she couldn't fully understand herself, but still wanted to let herself drown in. And this... relationship- Whatever they would label it, was just that thing.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ /thats all jennie had ever wanted to hear- to feel, was to be loved and to feel it on a genuine level. byulyi had been everything she had been oh so impatiently waiting for but also unexpected. byulyi was like opening a present a day before Christmas, you’re not expecting it to happen so soon but its the best surprise. it was overwhelming to an extent but she wanted to drown in this euphoric feeling
As you should.
/she whispers back, lips finding their way back to byulyi’s with no hesitation. she kisses her in an unspoken message of everything she couldn’t say conveyed through passion. Jennies hands slide forwards, both cupping byulyi cheeks as she presses ever so closer if even possible at this point. shes so glad she locked the door

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Oh shut up
// she mumbled, lips drawn in a smile and cheeks glowing red from rushed bloodflow. Jennie had established her hold of Byulyi quite fast upon their meeting one on one, and there was no doubt she knew exactly how to tickle her keys right. And though she knew she was just teasing it was hard not to feel the rush of her heart beating faster as Jennie pressed her forehead gently against her own, so close Byulyi could smell the sweet scent of her lip balm.
You don't have to be those things. You just have to be you
// her grip on the fabric of Jennie's dress had tightened all through her confession, trying to keep herself in check just long enough. But with the truth out there like this, Byulyi knew she was not a strong enough woman to resist. Tugging Jennie's body closer to her own, she lifted her head up a bit, feeling the softness of Jennie's lips against her own as she whispered
I love you, Jen.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ deep down?
she echos , leaning forward with a wide smile. her forehead bumps gently against moonbyuls, the two staying like that for moment
I know I am very much deeply in love with you to the point it may be a little too unhealthly but shhhhh. we don't talk about that. you give me peace that I don't get very often. you're so calm and understanding - I am not that but I am learning and I think you help me.
Jennie had never confessed something so bold in her life, her heart was pounding but she felt an overwhelming warmth and urge to tell byulyi exactly what she felt over and over again. she loved her. Jennie couldn't remember a time where she felt so strongly for another person and had the feelings reciprocated on a deeper level than just in factuation.

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // For a moment Byulyi looked almost guilty as she sat there pondering Jennie's words. They had agreed they wouldn't label it out of nowhere. But deep down those words had just felt too right. And it brought a smile to her face
I guess deep down- Yeah. Yeah, I think I am, Miss Jennie Kim.
// She lifted her eyes to look at the other, her fingers nervously playing with the fabric of her dress
And I think I was from that first night we recorded together. You were just so cool and and relaxed and- I-
// she lets out a breathy half-laugh and shakes your head
You seemed to just take a seat in my brain and claim my thoughts as your home. And then Busan happened and that feeling just cemented itself. I never ever act that soon on anything but- With you I feel safe to.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ /a smile grows ever wide on her lips , unable to contain the pure joy and relief she felt in that moment. she couldn’t ever get byulyi out of her mind. from the very start she was infatuated
so….
/ she starts again, eyebrows raised as if expecting byulyi to take the words right from but she chooses to be a big girl
is this you saying that … you’re in love with me moon byulyi?

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ Good, good. Now imagine your voice on it. It'd be an actual banger!
// a small chuckle escapes her pride fills her heart. That was the kind of reaction she wanted. The song was poppy and fun, but the heavy slap of bass at the start of the chorus always woke her up a bit.
Yes?~
// she waits until the song plays out, hurriedly scrambling to pause it as her notes to herself are voiced out loud.
I... had you in mind when writing it, yes. Couldn't stop thinking about that night at the hotel and just... You mess up my brain, Jen. Can't explain it

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Jennie waits with anticipation, eyes closing when the song starts. its rhythmic, its fun. she opens her eyes , dancing a bit on byulyis lap in unison with the light fingers that dance along her back
this is such a dance pop track! I love it!
/ she nods along until the chorus hits , mouth opening dramatically and her eyes just as wide
Byul???
/ she her head to the side , letting the song finish before she speaks up once more
and you said…. it’s about us?
/she questions curiously, carefully treading on the conversation

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // Byulyi can't help the smile on her lips at Jennie's reaction
Just a fair warning, aight? This is just a demo. I still think your voice would fit it better.
That and-
// she clears a bit as she scoots their chair closer to the mixer and starts lining up the front of the track
-I think your flow in English is a bit better than mine, but those are sacrifices we make to get a beat to the lyrics.
// There isn't much ceremony to it as she starts the song off. It starts off relatively slow, just like the hand Byulyi has placed on Jennie's back, slowly moving up along the fabric of her dress towards her shoulders. Her eyes are exclusively on Jennie as the first chorus approaches. And as the build crescendos into a glassbreak, Byulyi starts absentmindedly tapping out the bass beat gently against Jennie's back with her fingers.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ a small gasp leaves her , excitement coloring her features
have you ? Oh my god. tell me all about it
she leans over just enough to set the bento box on the nearest surface. she wraps a singular arm around her shoulders
actually better yet- can i hear it? Please pleaseee

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // there were few words she could get in, but Byulyi didn't care. She let Jennie prattle on, finding comfort both in her voice and her pampering. She just sat there happily munching away at the bites of food Jennie offered. At least until she heard the last bit. Byulyi paused, tilting her head a little.
Make sure you keep money for yourself too, mh? I'll get myself fed, even if I'd need a reminder here and there. Not that I don't appreciate the pampering. You make for a very y and talented cook. That said-
// her arms s around Jennie's back, pulling her a little closer as she whispered
I've been working on that song you saw me scribbling on.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Also
she continues on , letting byulyi finish her bite and busying herself with getting another this time with the veggies and meat in the portion
you need to eat. it’s important and blah blah. seriously, you can’t get so wrapped up like this and i can’t always be a y chef who cooks for you.
however i /do/ happen to have a little money here and there i guess i coullddd send you meals. spoiled, huh?

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // whatever cockiness had been visible on Byulyi's face softened into a warm smile. It almost felt strange how easily Jennie could make her heart feel at ease. She could feel it easing up along with the rest of her muscles, easing tension she barely knew she had.
I-
// she began, voice as soft as she herself felt, but barely got out anything before Jennie began listing extra reasonings. They earned her a short laugh as Byulyi swallowed down what she wanted to say and instead opened to accept the bite of noodles. They were delightfully savoury and warm, the perfect meal for a day like this where she had forgotten to eat

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ you exist
jennie admits unabashedly eyes not meeting byulyi’s just yet knowing she’d probably melt into a puddle, instead she opts for taking out the chopsticks and mixing up the egg yolk and noodles
i just know you’re a hard worker, PLUS i just wanted to see you. that aannddd maybe i needed away from the girls a little. we are having a comeback soon and we’re in the midst of still completing our album. a total drag sometimes. here-
she grabs a small portion of noodles, wrapping them around the metal chopsticks and holding it up to byulyi’s lips
first bite

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // for a moment she sat there captivated by the woman, a goofy grin probably revealing just how lost of a case she was
Aaaaw, no butts at all?
// the confidence is short lasted as Jennie climbs up atop the chair, making Byulyi swallow audibly, her heart nervously beating faster. What had she done to deserve anything like this. This felt like a reward, and yet she could not remember anything in the past days that would warrant one. Not that she would complain though. Just having a spare moment of Jennie's time was already nice. To have a meal as well was heavenly.
It smells pretty good
// she confessed, her eyes still lingering on Jennie for a moment longer. It took actual effort to wrestle it over to the food, having gotten a bit of aid from her empty stomach grumbling in urgent want when smelling the food better.
Sooo... What did I do to deserve such y wifely treatment?

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ a large smile blooms on her face, her plan on having surprised the rap coach working. she fully slides her body in the room, a sly hand locking the door behind her then letting her mini purse sit pretty on the table when she walks by it
well good because I actually cooked this, so you better enjoy this. no if ands or buts.
jennie rarely ever cooks because why would she when she has private chefs on deck that do it professionally? however, this was different. jennie climbs herself right up on byulyis lap maneuvering herself so shes straddling her , legs hanging through the open side spaces of the chair
okay so i madeee Jjajangmyeon with veggies on the side and soy marinated beef. i know, very y and very wifey of me. oh! and a little egg on top to mix in, the best.
while byulyi was more than capable, jennie had went ahead and opened the bento box for her letting the savory aroma and light steam out
ta-da!

@☾ jennie kim ʳᵘᵇʸ ʲᵃⁿᵉ // having been deep in her own thoughts trying her best to crank out a good beat, Byulyi had barely noticed the knock at the door. In fact, for the most part she was thinking of ignoring it. Until the sound of the door pushing open wrenched her out of her own mind to see-
Jennie! Oh , thank god the was you! I was about to hound someone for just walking in
// she let out a heavy sigh before smiling
That said, y food and delicious Korean idols named Jennie Kim are definitely welcome surprises

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Jennie excitedly made her way through the large building having nmemorized each corridor by now. in one hand is miniature Chanel purse and in the other is bento box she had meticulously prepared. once she had found just recording studio moonbyul had been in , she gives the door a light knock before pushing the door open just enough to peek her head in

knock knock! delivery, did someone order delicious food and y Korean idol by the name of Jennie kim??

@◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ As much as she tried not to, Byul could not hold back a cocky snort at his statement. Though she knew what he was trying to get at, it was hard not to play games when people set up the perfect alley-oop. “Got experience, do we?” she teased, wiggling her brows with a satisfied smile. “Make sure you give me the deets when we’re done eating and listening through, because this sounds juicy.”

Finishing up the setup, Byul hit play and headed back to the table. As the synthesised vocals and snare fired up over the studio speakers she found her spot on the couch, forgoing the chopsticks and grabbing a drumstick from the box. The bass rumbled with a satisfactory depth that she could feel through the seat before the vocals sat in.

She began digging into the food while nodding her head along to the rhythm. But the second the collaborator’s voice blessed her ears she slowed down somewhat, imagining the woman’s face and that darling smile.

@◈ moon byulyi ᴍᴏᴏɴʙʏᴜʟ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ The girl moved over to sit by the computer for a moment but urged him to get started with the food. He meant to offer to get things ready while he waited but the rapper had done a great job at it already and everything had been spread out and prepared while she'd been waiting on him so all he could do now was slowly look through the opened containers. The fried chicken smelled great and inviting and it was surrounded by a few side dishes. As she faces him again, he finally glances up from he food and offers a small nod "Don't worry, what happens in the basement studio, stays in the basement studio" He joked lightly as he picked up one set of chopsticks, smoothly breaking them apart before taking up a first peace of chicken to munch on, chewing on it as he patiently waited to hear the girl's new and still super secret track.

@◈ 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."
