@❀ arthit keerati 「ᴡɪɴ」ˣ.ᶜʰᵃᵒˢ Jayden wasn't entirely sure what to make of Win's smile. He didn't think he could consider it a genuine one, but he also simply wasn't the type to take a smile at face value. With that said, his mind was running with question after question. If the smile isn't genuine, was it something he'd done? Maybe it was weird of him to be speaking to the other. Of course, it wasn't any of these things, right? Not to mention he'd have no way to determine if the smile was genuine or not, but he would still find himself pondering these questions in a way that one would think the other was glaring at him or hurling insults. He cleared his throat, shoving the thoughts to the back of his mind and replacing them instead with some of what could be considered excitement. "Trying is okay, we all are trying, right?" He asked, cursing himself inwardly at the awkward tone. He shook his head, a smile finding its way to his face. "Anyways, do you wanna do the one you were working on? Or we can learn something new together! Up to you."

@❀ he jiaxiang 「ᴊᴀʏᴅᴇɴ」ˣ.ᵈʸⁿᵐᵗᵉ Win almost tripped over his own feet for who knows how many times, in a fit of rage he almost grabbed his old phone to throw it against the mirror. He asolutely loathed to "dance" or whatever one could call what he was doing because it doesn't even resemble the choreo in the slightest. He stopped his arm midair upon hearing a voice behind him, pasting a bright smile on his plush lips he tried to not look as frustrated as he currently felt and turned around. "Hey Jayden" still smiling Win rubbed his neck sheepishly "uhm yeah... I was trying" his voice trailed off when the other asked if he wanted to learn a dance together. Jayden was a newer member so he probably still didn't know that Win was close to being a safety hazard while dancing but maybe this new member could actually work some magic and make him get atleast something right? Even thinking about learning from someone whom got into the group after him made Win feel embarrassed but he should swallow his pride and try. "Alright" he muttered while thinking 'at your own risk tho.'

@❀ arthit keerati 「ᴡɪɴ」ˣ.ᶜʰᵃᵒˢ Jayden's cheeks were puffed, his nose scrunched slightly as thought after thought went through his mind. Even though he'd been a member of x.mpire for a while now, none of it felt real to him. He still felt as though s were his seniors, not as if he was truly a part of the group. It was on a day that he was thinking about this that he decided to wander around the company, and somehow managed to step into a studio where one of these members happened to be. "Hey, Win sunb-" He paused as the words were halfway out, eyebrows furrowing as he managed to make himself feel weird with these words. "Hey! Uh, are you practicing something right now? Did you want to learn a dance together?" The words seemed to force themselves out, a bit of awkwardness seeming to radiate off of him.

@❀ nam haneul 「sᴇʙᴀsᴛɪᴀɴ」ˣ.ᵈᵉᵐⁱᵒⁿ While was in the middle of stretching, Mari got startled by unfamiliar male voice before she stopped herself from falling. "Y-Yeah..the problem is, I'm a little clumsy when it comes to dancing which is my...weak point." She responded with a timid tone. She turn to look at the mirror when the owner of the voice appear in the room. A handsome, great-looking guy to be honest. "Oh, m-my name's M-Mari...I've never seen you around before...what's your name?" she asked politely with while playing with her fingers. "I-I'm one of the new trainees who came in not too long ago if that's why you're curious about." She chuckled slightly while blushing as her cheeks become pink out of shyness and embarassment.

@❀ bae mari 「ᴍᴀʀɪᴀ」ᵗʳᵃᶤᶰᵉᵉ Practicing every day was all Sebastian knew lately, so it was no surprise that he'd be at the company so late in the evening still. He was, however, surprised to see that his usual room was currently occupied, a rare occurrence. He had been turning to find another room to practice in when he noticed the struggling girl. A trainee perhaps? He certainly didn't recognize her as a member of PANDØRA, and he hadn't been particularly close to many trainees during his time. Maybe she was new, or the youngest male Nam simply never noticed her. Either way, without thinking about it, Haneul made his way over to her as she took a break to stretch. "Having some trouble?"

@❀ nam haneul 「sᴇʙᴀsᴛɪᴀɴ」ˣ.ᵈᵉᵐⁱᵒⁿ Sighing, Mari just finished her dance lessons. She knew she was trying her best, but she felt she wasn't good enough even though her teacher told her to keep her best. The problem is..she has low self-esteem when it comes to being in crowds. She struggles to interact with fellow trainees in which results her chickening out numerous times whenever she attempt to talk. Currently, she is by herself alone in this room after she asked her teacher if she could stay behind and work on it. She got the permission to do as she waits for everyone to leave. 'What's wrong with me?' She thought to herself due her feeling insecurity while stretching out her body.

@❀ juliet jeon ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉʳ The week had been an unusual one for Kamrin. Despite nothing being different in terms of his schedule, he seemed to have found himself feeling uncomfortable with everything he was doing. This included when he would go to sleep, and the amount of hours he had gotten of sleep in that week. After giving up one night, he made his way back to the company and one of the practice rooms, deciding he would practice more if he was so restless. It was one of his breaks where he sad down for a drink of water that he seemed to have fallen asleep, completely unsuspecting that this would happen otherwise he would have stopped himself to go home. And yet instead, he found himself curled up beside his bag, hugging his water bottle as he slept soundly in the studio.

@❀ kim yura 「sᴜɴ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ was today the day she would be escorted out of her own workplace? geez, talk about embarrassing and on her first day too. of course lucía knew the man was only doing his job, but she still wished for just a little more leniency. then again, there weren't many individuals roaming around who looked like /her/, she stuck out like a nail so in a way it couldn't be totally helped and she had read of some crazy fans (if they could even be called that) breaking and entering into agencies just to get a peek at their favorite idol. with a defeated sigh she was about to comply, just as the heavens above decided to light up her day...with a little sunshine.

it was kim yura, sun of pandora herself! she quickly bowed to her senior, hoping she had done the bow correctly. "hi good morning sun-ssi!" the younger one chirped, nodding as the elder spoke in her defense and truly a weight was lifted off her shoulders. before she could even say thank you to yura or even a goodbye to the security guard she had already been dragged inside the practice room and she began to bow profusely. "oh my gosh thank you sosososososo /so/ much sun-ssi I really thought I was toast out there- and I swear I have my badge it's probably back in my nightstand..." she mumbled, rubbing her chin for a moment in thought. "you're a lifesaver, thank you again, I suppose I'll have to treat you to lunch for saving my back there!"

@❀ lucía vidal ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ After being so focused in song writing these past few weeks, Sun decided that today she should start working on her dance practice again. After all she did still hold the position as lead dancer of the group and of course, she couldn't let her performance be less than perfect. So after safing all her works in her laptop, Sun made her way down to the Petal room when the commotion outside caught her attention.

As she gets closer, Sun finally found out the reason of the problem. While the security guard did a great job in his duty, Sun could see the agitation on the female's face who she remembered being a new trainee. Making her way towards the duo, Sun bowed her head towards the older guy. "Ah Hongbin-ssi. On duty today eh? Thank you for your hard work. And I see you've met our newest trainee from abroad!" She turned her attention towards the girl with a bright wide smile "Lucy right? I was gonna volunteer to show you around but you beat me to it. I'm going to have dance practice now, do you want to practice together?"

"But she can't enter before showing her ID" the security guard interrupted to which Sun had a great hard time hiding her eyeroll. Opting to just smile a little, she gave the guy a little pat on the shoulder. "I can vouch that she is a trainee. If you ever get in trouble because of it, just tell them I take responsibility, okay? Plus she might haven't get her employee ID yet but already very eager to practice. We can't let that enthusiasm to fade right?" She bit back a triumphant smile that was threatening to appear when she saw the guard swayed. Without wasting any time, she took Lucy's hand and pulled her into the practice roo. "Thank you Hongbin-ssi! I'll treat you some bbq later today with your team!" Sun waved at the guard before closing the door behind her, turning back to look at Lucy with wide grin. "Well, that went better than I thought~ Anyway, guess we run into each other quite often, eh Lucy-ssi~?"

now that most of the jetlag had worn off, she had attended her first vocal lesson, song writing workshop and now she had a few hours of free time before her korean class and self study later today. since she had not been to dance class just yet (that was scheduled for tomorrow), she decided to try her hand at solo practice for today, she figured she was an okay dancer but needed to polish many of her moves and be consistent so that she could further improve her skills. she had found one of the rooms that had yet to be reserved but as she was making her way there a security guard stopped her.

"young miss, this room is reserved for trainees only, can I see your ID badge?"

"OH! sure yes, I actually am a trainee too let me just..." her korean was not perfect yet but she could get by, but as she roamed her belongings she could not find her card. "Uh oh..."

"miss, if you don't have your badge I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave the building." the older korean man spoke, now rather sternly. she was just inches away from the door to the dance practice room why did this have to happen now...

"i'm so sorry, i promise i'm employed by lotus i /am/ a trainee i just need to find my badge it has to be somewhere here or back in the dorm..."

@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ *the older female lets out a sigh of relief and is glad for a moment there that the young male had continued to pursue his passion for dance even after she left expg to go to south korea. with a nod, she smiles reassuringly*
of course. i will feel like a part of me is shredded away if i don't continue to dance. it is like dancing is my way to breathe. without it, i will feel like i'm dying.
*with a silly chortle escaping past her lips, she shakes her head out of amusement*
well, even though you might not be the kid i first met any more, i'm glad to have seen you all grown up and still dance like we promised when we first met. of course, you will always be my favourite little brother no matter what other younger dudes say. did you just say my girl? Huh? so young already and having you knowww.
*she moves her hands away from his cheeks and thumps his side with her elbow in a teasing manner before reeling in the view of the young man blushing by the mere topic*
not really finished, finished. more like taking a break. i was doing some really intense waacking right there.
*she muses exhaustingly while her hand reaches into her bag for the face towel she brought along, taking it out to dab away at the beads of sweat that pepper all over her face*
