@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ "Of course I don't. I know better but I've heard something along that line and actually saw some... so... yeah." He shrugged, after almost getting a heart attack at how she moved away, almost too far that he was afraid she might fell of the chair. But nothing in his mental capacity right now that could prepare him for the (unexpected) attack from her. Jun's eyes doubled in size; a shock clearly written on his face as she cupped his cheek. It might look like a simple, harmless gesture but it wasn't harmless for his heart as he felt as if his heart would jump out of his chest judging by how fast it's beating right now, although logically he knew it's impossible. "I-" he couldn't say anything. Not when all he saw is sincerity in her brown orbs and he'd be lying if it didn't make him feel like they were the only two lefts on earth. "Lani... I li-..." Oops. Almost. Way too close. Jun mentally smacked himself for almost spilling out what should be hidden. And it shall be always hidden. He didn't want to make anything awkward between them if he ever utters those words. Sighing, he gently pries her hand off his cheek, thumb brushing against her skin. "Thank you for saying that. But I think we had too many drinks tonight. Time to go home, okay? It's late anyway."

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ “now who went and told you that, huuuh?” she dragged on with a chuckle, her nose scrunching up rather habitually as she’s pulling away just a tad almost as if to throw a tantrum. her arms crossed against her chest but her body wills her to stay in place before she lolls off far enough to fall on the other end. “you seriously can’t believe everything that you’ve been hearing about me, acie. i mean- i don’t think i even have a type. all i know is..” soon does she reach over to cup his cheek, the pad of her thumb caressing his soft skin. “i know how to appreciate someone cute when i see them. i mean, don’t we all?” eventually does her gaze match up to his own, a warm glaze of truth she didn’t realise she was trekking upon resting upon the twin orbs of her eyes.

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ His brow raised in confusion when he saw her stand up; thinking that she might need to use the restroom but boy was he wrong. A surprised gasp left his parted tiers when she dropped down beside him and even onto his arm. The scent of alcohol could be smelled coming from her, another obvious sign of how intoxicated this woman right now aside from her strange behavior. Even knowing all of that didn't help his heartbeat to slow down, and he was afraid she could hear how loud his heart beating right now due to the close proximity. Ace tried to shift his attention somewhere else by taking another sip of the soju but again, she caught him off guard with her last words, resulting him on almost choking on the liquid. Looking away from her to cough, he lightly patted his chest, face turning red not from the alcohol he drank. "W-what? I thought your type is like those bad boys? W-why would you want someone like me...?"

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ by now leilani had surely lost count of how much she had drank, how much she had eaten. but if there was one thing she was certain about, it was the fact that she was full. full of an unspeakable urge to indulge in herself in the unfamiliar. but she had to focus, as much as it might have become an increased struggle to do even the simplest of things now that she had a good amount of alcohol in her system. there had been no better way to concentrate on her companion and every word he had to say to her if not by trekking in a little closer. the woman slowly pulling herself up to her feet and making her way over to occupy the seat next to his, gravity fastening in as it pulls her body to rest upon ace’s, her arm curling around his before she’s peering up at him. “hold on.. you did what? now why would you do that! i mean i didn’t doubt girls were lining up for you here and there, guys too but that doesn’t make any sense. i mean, if you’d like, i could play wing woman for you?” she spoke with a slurred tone of subtle confusion in her voice as doe, cocoa brown eyes would observe his lips more than usual as if it would genuinely help her understand better. but with his next inquiry does a soft pout automatically emerge. “there were a few that tried to ask me out, but they were just dry.. not all that nice. it’s almost shame they weren’t more like you, a nice and gentle puppy..”

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ Ace's face turned red from the unexpected compliment coming from his boss. He didn't know that was his first impression to her and now he knew, the embarrassment coming in full force. Thinking back, they did go through a lot of things together, growing as both person and dancer. He always thought that meeting her was like a fate, if he didn't meet the woman named Leilani Dairoenkul, who back then her Korean was enough to give him a headache since it would take a while for him to understand what she meant and he couldn't speak good English, so most of the time they relied on the body language as the way of communication.

Food been eaten, drinks after drinks were served and the effect was soon apparent on both of them, although he was just a little tipsy, the alcohol was definitely getting to her faster compared to him. And it was very obvious of how drunk she is when she asked something that she would never ask during her sober state. The tip of Ace's ears turned red at the question. His eyes immediately landed back on the drunk Lani, not really knowing how to answer that without revealing his own feelings. "...There were some. But I turned them down." He answered, it was the truth anyway, he had no reason of hiding them from her. "Boring huh? no bad boys caught on your radar?" He teased, knowing a little about her tendency on going for someone with bad boy vibe, despite the ugly feeling he felt inside.

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ “well, i’m sure you can be especially to some students of ours, but.. at least /i/ know how adorable you can be? i’ve always thought you were pretty cute, especially when you first joined the family. i swear it was like giving a puppy a brand new home?” she cooed teasingly, watching the nostalgic memories flood by as if it had all happened yesterday. reliving all at once just how far they had come to progress together— better yet? grow together. lani had been there to see how much ace had developed as a dancer, and better yet, one of the best choreographers she had ever seen. although, outside the professional world, sometimes it was just a mystery. something she pondered around from time to time, not meaning to pry, until the servings of alcohol would come into effect. her cheeks soon pooling in warm flushed hues of pink, and her smile as cheeky as ever. “you’re kidding.. not even the slightest hint of a cute girl asking you out or something? geez.. i’m- yeah, you already know how i am. life’s been pretty chill on my own, sometimes.. boring though?”

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ His face immediately showed a displeasure at the idea. But to be compared to dog species... was she really think of him like that? "A scary Dobermann... Do I really look like that? I didn't look that scary...right?" His nose scrunched as she laughed, and he soon found himself chuckling along. Surely it would be such a scene to see, and maybe most of the people there would think and wonder if he consumed something weird that causing the persona shift. Ace rose his brow up at the almost slip from her end, wondering what the young leader had in that pretty head of hers. Cy...something. Maybe that was also one of the reasons why she's always being a workaholic, more than usual, at least. Before he could say anything, the halmeoni returned with two bottles of soju and two cans of beers along with the shot glasses for them. "Enjoy the drink, you lovebirds~" The flustered Ace quickly shook his head but, again, the old lady left them alone as fast as she came. Letting out a little chuckle, he grabbed the soju bottle to open it and pour some of the liquor into the shot glasses, sliding one towards the lady in front of him. "Well... Yeah, no work talk. And I've been just like usual, I guess. Nothing new. what about you though? Aside from being buried under those Paperworks just like earlier before I drag you out."

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ “maybe it was about time we shattered that image, don’t you think?” propping her chin atop of the palm of her hand, her gaze never left her companion once as the same soft simper lingered upon her soft, rosy tiers. “imagine that.. sdz’s very own ace, no longer a scary dobermann. but instead, an adorable golden retriever? she began to laugh, enjoying the sole thought of everyone indulging in the fact that ace had a soft side to him that was more apparent than anyone ever thought. things would surely change at studio danz, more chaos would probably run rampant, but for a hilariously iconic cause. surely, it wouldn’t be anything too out of the blue that would distract any students from their classes, not like the way any other type of rumours that ran rampant about any of the dancers. that wasn’t anything to discuss especially when it came to their personal lives, lani thought. so when the halmeoni had brought up something similar, she didn’t think it was anything to put much mind to, let alone when it wasn’t true. surely, jeon minjun had never thought of her that way either, just like her they always had their priorities elsewhere. “definitely! but ah.. that was such a long time ago already, i know after that we all got pretty swamped. i was always thinking of making this a regular thing though apart from our annual getaways, you know? but only time will tell especially when we have to plan cy- woah.” she shook her head, palming over her lips before letting out another chuckle and distracting herself with a serving of radish that has her humming in contentment from it’s refreshing taste. “no work talk- right. how have you been though? i feel like it’s also kinda been a while since we last caught up with each other if anything.”

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ "...I have an image to uphold, you know. And calling me that just gonna shatter it." He sighed again. Truth be told, he actually didn't mind much about it, as long as the woman in front of him could laugh in happiness even if it means that he had to endure being called puppy all the time. Ace couldn't help but to wonder when did such feelings exist in him but then again, someone named Leilani was already becoming an important part of his life from the moment they started to work together back when sdz was just started. Their relationship was not always been a good one, just like any other relations, but he always grateful that none of their arguments damaged their dynamic. However, at the old woman's insinuation about them, he couldn't fight back the redness that slowly forming on his cheeks and ears. He half expected that she would immediately deny the label given to them but to his surprise, none was coming out which made him wonder few things, but he knew better than to indulge himself in such dangerous imagery, he couldn't afford to imagine that. Nor even letting whatever that he kept inside, out. After getting her approval, he relayed their order to the halmeoni who returned to their table bringing various side dishes for them. Leaning back into the seat after finishing up the order, his gaze naturally landed on her again. "When was the last time we have a dinner together like this? Was it the bbq party at your place with Katarina?" at the mention of the old choreographer who now no longer with them anymore since she moved out of the country his lips curled up in a rather melancholy smile. "We should take everyone here again, next time."

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ “well, no promises there. we might just have to see about that, don’t we?” she shot him a look which had her eyes scintillating not only with fascination at the fact that they were finally at a spot that almost felt like home for the sdz family, but also, mischievousness that willed her with the confidence to actually commit such antics to tease ace even in front of everyone else. sometimes it was hard, but sometimes it was easy. there really was no in between when it came to their dynamics— except for this moment in time where they could truly relax with one another, lani already feeling a genuine essence of tranquility as she is sinking into her seat and engulfing in the welcoming warmth that the halmeonis easily provided. “ah yes! we really missed it here, we thought it was about time we returned especially when the food is always so good!” she beamed, to which the old woman simply replied with much glee. “we hope you continue coming often, a young couple like you two should always be able to eat plenty together~” lani’s instantly letting out a chuckle at the woman’s unexpected insinuation, her eyes diving straight for the menu before she’s eventually agreeing with the man sitting before her. “yeah, that sounds pretty good. let’s do that!”

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ A defeated sigh. That was the only thing he could let out after seeing that there's no way for him to change Lani's mind to stop calling him a puppy. "...As long as you won't call me that while we're holding a class... I guess it's fine." well, he should've known better than trying to win against her, it always resulted in his defeat. There's just something about this woman that made him unable to say no, unless if it's about her overly workaholic tendency in which his stubbornness would win. With the destination finalized, it was easy for them to find the restaurant, as if their legs were in autopilot mode, already coming to the said restaurant for countless time for their company dinner although now it was reduced to just the two of them. Finally arriving at the said place, he opened the door, and the amazing scent of food immediately welcomed them, the nostalgic feeling hit him like a wave. One of the halmeonis who often help to serve their food noticed them, and even though it was quite late at night, Ace wondered how she could still have so much energy, judging by how she greeted them with such enthusiasm. "Oh my, are tonight just the two of you? Omo~ how nice it is to be young~" He just simply bowed his head before making his way towards their usual table that somewhat feels too big. "I guess we really did bring a lot of people here." Jun chuckled as he leaned back, eyes scanning the cozy place. "So, are you getting the usual? What about some soju and beers too? We both aren't driving anyway, so it's safe."

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ “and i told you it fits a little too well, so there’s no way i’m ever gonna stop?” she teasingly protested, adamant in standing up for her claim, and what she believed was the absolute truth. because while ace’s reputation did proceed him throughout the studio grounds, lani was lucky enough to see certain sides of him from time to time that most could only dream of seeing. for with darkness comes the light, and that simply represented the man, and his unexpected.. beagle-like qualities. it made her smile though, laugh, even. she loved it. “oh my god, let’s head there then! i miss the generous halmeonis that would always look out for us, i’m sure they’ve been wondering where we’ve been? would be rude of us to keep them waiting so– come on!” with a gentle squeeze bestowed onto his arm, lani would see to it that they’re soon reaching said restaurant that brought back a flood of memories even more so, when they also manage to secure their usual table. but now instead of a whole group of dancers, there were only two.

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ Walking through the street of Hongdae like this was something that even he himself hadn't do for a while. He hadn't said much during their walk nor that it was needed to. Jun was simply content with the comfortable silence between the two of them. She with her own mind and him with his own. Although maybe it was too quick for him to say that as she caught him by a surprise as she held his arm on hers, almost making him missed a step and the way she called him puppy in public. Jun let out a soft sigh but made no move to peel her arm away from him. "I told you not to call me that..." He glanced down at her and . . . it was a grave mistake for him. Maybe it was the atmosphere or maybe it was simply because they were being this close that Jun's heart did skip a beat when his eyes landed on her face and smile. Quickly he averted his eyes again and nod. "Yeah... the usual place. I haven't gone there for a while anyway. Kinda miss their kimchi jjigae. But if you have a new restaurant recommendation, we can go there too. I don't mind."

@♔ jeon minjun 「ᴀᴄᴇ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ ace’s persistence was incredible, but it was also genuinely appreciated. because had it not been for him, there would have been a lot of things that lani simply wouldn’t have pushed for— let alone, breathers much like this that lani had almost forgotten how much she enjoyed. and there had been no better company to share such good times with than a proper pillar of support, a good colleague, friend, and.. “puppy!” she beamed. instincts propelling the woman to latch an arm around his as they navigated their way through the busy streets of hongdae, careful not to lose each other amidst the crowd. “where did you say we were headed to? our usual spot right?” she peered up at the towering male with her pearly whites glistening from anticipation, their difference in height a stark contrast from any given distance, especially as they walked side by side.

— ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴄʟᴏsᴇᴅ. —

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ jungho wants to laugh at his friend's reaction, though he inwardly acknowledges that his drunken texts might not have been the most coherent. as leilani enters, he can't help but chuckle at her expression, realizing he may have overplayed his 'not drunk' card a bit. with a whiny grumble, he reaches for the bottle to pour another round, ensuring leilani's glass is topped up as well.

"shhh," he playfully hushes her, his finger pressed to his lips in a mock-serious gesture. “i swear, i'm not as drunk as i seem—” half a lie. “but listen, you won't believe what happened, okay?” he continues, his voice animated with a hint of frustration. taking a sip of his drink, he gestures for leilani to join him at the table, eager to share his tale.

“so, picture this,” he begins, leaning in conspiratorially. “i'm finally pitching my song to the big boss, right? and you know what he says?” jungho's eyebrows furrow in frustration as he recalls the encounter. “he has the audacity to tell me my song isn't danceable! can you believe it? like, who can't groove to any song?” despite his attempt at levity, there's a hint of wounded pride in his tone.

“and then,” he continues, his voice rising, “he has the nerve to call my song 'no good' and imply that i'm some kind of fool for even suggesting it!” jungho's frustration bubbles to the surface as he vents to leilani, his hand gesturing wildly as he recounts the encounter. “just because he's sitting behind a fancy desk doesn't mean he knows anything! i know the trends! i /know/ what people want to hear!”

( hehe. he is. blugh. also is there any nickname you would be comfortable w jungho using? )

@❀ kim jungho 「ᴋᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ lani stared at the text she had just received, and it didn’t take too long before a sense of urgency coursed through her veins, setting the girl into panic mode for her friend. pushing back what stacks of paper rested before her, she instantly leaned into her desk in immediate concentration to quickly reply in return.

“keej, are you okay?”
“what’s wrong? should i call the police?”
“stay there, okay? i’ll come right over, i promise everything’s going to be alright!”

not even allowing more than a second thought to pass by, the young choreographer had quickly made a move to take the fastest possible route from the sdz building to the latter’s destination. beelining as fast as her legs could carry her until she’d get to see jungho, because all that truly mattered now was his safety and wellbeing, nothing else. except for when he was..

“drunk?” she panted, attempting to catch her breath as she wearily sank into the seat opposite of his. “/this/ was the emergency you called me for? i– you big baby! i thought you were seriously hurt!” out essentially came a whine the moment she had finished composing herself, arms crossing against her chest as she looked at the male in utter disbelief. then again, no wonder they were friends.. knowing in some way, she would’ve pulled the same stunt just for some company. not that the fact was any important at the moment. “i can’t believe you.. you better have a great explanation for what this is all about, or else. hmph.”

( ) no worries! ; o ; kj is cutest big baby, smh..

@— ♔ leilani dairoenkul 「ʟᴀɴɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ Jungho sat in the dimly lit stall in Hongdae, the faint aroma of soju lingering in the air as he nursed his second bottle. Normally a laid-back individual, he couldn't shake the frustration that gnawed at him, fueled by the lack of respect he had encountered earlier. In an industry where constructive criticism was the norm, being chewed out was a rarity that left him reeling. As he clumsily thumbed out a text to his friend Leilani, his irritation bubbled to the surface, evident in the (attempted) urgent tone of his messages.

"sos...."
"cometo hongdae by JT karaokee"
"code RED1!!"

Jungho's normally composed demeanor was overshadowed by his frustration, his thoughts racing as he awaited Leilani's response, seeking solace in the company of a trusted friend amidst the chaos of his emotions. Jungho was a giant man who contained a lot of feelings in his big body. Added with alcohol, he contained twice as much.

( rip sorry its a bit short. kyek. kj is big baby )

@❀ lee daehyun 「ʙʟᴀᴢᴇ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ ,nods a few times, giving a bright smile before making my way forward, glancing back at you
Follow please~
,sings out and laughs happily
I do, a lot~ thank you for getting me one

@♦ maekawa mizuki 「ᴍᴊ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ as we approached her friends, he was greeted with a warmth contrasting the usual awe associated with the job title. the introductions were made, and he acknowledged the oohs and aahs with a humble nod. chanyeol's playful remark about remembering them added a friendly touch to the encounter. "trust, my first award will be dedicated to all of you," he replied with a grin. mj's tap on his shoulder drew his attention to the skate park, unaware of how the park was built for showcasing one's skills. this wasn't going to be a run in the park.

"alright, let's see what I can do."

with all the eyes on him, he allowed himself to take a quick breather before letting the wheels roll onto the pavement. the deck bore the weight of his body as he navigated throughout the park. as he approached a set of stairs with a rail on the side, he decided to attempt a simple ollie. with a swift pop of the tail and a jump, the board lifted beneath him, clearing the first step. the landing wasn't perfect, but he managed to regain his balance and continue his descent down the rail, the sound of metal and wood grinding and clashing against each other. at once, he landed with ease, the wheels meeting the ground with no hiccups. with a newfound confidence, he approached a series of ramps determined to do a manual. he shifted his weight to lift the front wheels off the ground and maintain balance as he rolled forward. with proper control, he seamlessly navigated through the ramps back towards the group. to put a bowtie on his performance, he decided to pop a classic kickflip, the tail of the board flicking beneath his foot, and the board rotated gracefully in the air before landing back on the pavement. as he slid to a stop, he popped up the board and tucked it under his arm. "so... how was that?"

@❀ lee eunji 「sᴏʀᴀ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ oh I see you have an expensive taste, unnie. maybe i'll steal a bottle or two from my dad's extensive wine collection, he wouldn't even know~ who do you usually drink with? your sister?

@❀ cho yiyeon 「ᴊᴀɴɢᴡᴏɴʏᴏᴜɴɢ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ Mmh, eat well, bunny.
/pulls her hand back so they both can continue to eat before scrunching her nose while shaking her head lightly/
No, and to be honest I don't like soju. I prefer wine instead. Though I try not to drink too often or too much.

@❀ liu haoming 「ᴋᴀᴍʀɪɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ oh?
-looks at your phone and hims softly-
I hope you like it
-chuckels-

@❀ sage keum ᵗʳᵃᶤᶰᵉᵉ "yeah, only in the company though. at least the cooling system worked fine, so it wasn't all too bad... I just try to hide myself outside with a mask and a cap, can't pass out on any chance wearing my crop tops, can i?" she added with a laugh, immediately spotting her friends over by the side and greeting them with a high five. introducing sage to them, adding in the fact that he was a trainee in an entertainment company, there were oohs and aahs, but not too overly in awe of the fact that they were standing in the midst of a future celebrity. "well, just remember us next time like joo here does~" a tall male, chanyeol, shot sage a grin before hopping off the rail that he was resting on. turning back over to sage, mj gave a light tap to his shoulder, gesturing for the obstacles right behind her, already wanting to get things going. "so~~ how about you show us what you got! bet you'll be great."

@❀ lee eunji 「sᴏʀᴀ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ O-oh...
/could feel my cheeks getting warm when you pet my head, liking the rare sign of affection initiated by you coupled with the praise as well, only looking back up at you and grinning widely/
Mhm~ I'll just enjoy this serving first, hehe.
/takes a couple of sips of the soup, then one spoonful of rice with meat placed on top of it, humming along/
Really? Have you tried it before?

@❀ lee daehyun 「ʙʟᴀᴢᴇ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ ,nods along, studying the map on my phone then looking up ans around at our surroundings
I think I know the way to the closest one..?
,says softly before blinking a few times, watching you with big eyes and smiling brightly when i see the ice creams
How cute!

@❀ liu haoming 「ᴋᴀᴍʀɪɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ -smiles and nods and looks around-
I hope they do have some
-chuckles softly and goes to one of the stands and orders two cute ice cream one that looks like a panda adn the other like a cute shark and walks back-

@❀ cho yiyeon 「ᴊᴀɴɢᴡᴏɴʏᴏᴜɴɢ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ /looks at you and seeing how genuinely happy you are right now, she couldn't help but reach out and gently pet your head/
you're adorable, you know?
enjoy your meal, and if you want to have the second serving, go ahead and order~
/pulls her hand back so she can eats some more, this time dipping the rice into the broth using her spoon, humming in delight/
older people love to eat this while drinking soju too. some said that's the best combination.

@❀ lee eunji 「sᴏʀᴀ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ i will eat well, of course~ this is really too good, unnie! thank you for bringing me here!
/grins back at you before nodding excitedly as I take another sip, observing how you came up with your own combination of eating before following it in the same manner, chomping it almost immediately, covering my mouth with a hand before I speak after swallowing/
Wah.... this is... this is the best, seriously! Even the kimchi... it enhances the flavor of the meat so much! And the meat is so soft and tender like... wah... Wah unnie.... wow....
