@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Yea! What's so wrong about pancakes for dinner?
,,he teases, a small laugh leaving his lips as he observes the other's response and contemplation-- he flashes a bright smile towards the other before simply nodding in agreement
Today's a day we can go crazy, yea? Gotta learn when to chill or not, let's get it all for today!

@❀ he jiaxiang 「ᴊᴀʏᴅᴇɴ」ˣ.ᵈʸⁿᵐᵗᵉ pancakes? for dinner? naaaaah, that is definitely unacceptable! unless we double up on that order, i guess.. (he purses his lips together, visibly contemplating over the mere suggestion but knowing his hunger would not subside as easy, he’s eventually shaking his head in slight disapproval with a soft chuckle escaping past his lips, no matter just how good pancakes have always sounded) we could probably order some pancakes to share then, add in something else so we get to try a variety out of the menu? how about uh.. eh.. ah.. crap, oh! bacon and eggs? those cheese grits sound good too, but i gotta learn when to chill–

( ) no worries there! hehe.

@❀ do yeona ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ (absentmindedly continue to munch onto what food i’ve bought so far, some sauce inevitably left by the corners of my lips which has me all the more unprepared when you're approaching me and my cheeks are all stuffed; a comically dumbfounded look present on my features until i'm wiping over my lips with my wrist and shaking my head) clearly not enough if there’s still some left for you- tsk. these names are getting weirder and weirder, you can do much better than that!

@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ Sorry sorry! No joking happening here
,,he says in a half playful note, sniffing dramatically afterwards to add affect
,,his cheeks puff slightly, turning his attention to the menu rather than the one beside him and bringing it a bit closer to his face, as if that would help him any with making a decision while knowing full well it wouldn't really do anything
Pan...cakes. maybe? That's not a meal.
,,he blinks rapidly, before willing himself to push back any nerves he had been feeling and smiling brightly to his friend, a playful mischielf showing this time in his eyes
What about a meal.. of pancakes

() it's been quite shortened but
This time i wont go a month without responding i promise ;;;;

@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ /rushes over to the cart and true enough she saw you there, makes a face as she orders one serving of tteokbokki/
how many oden you ate already, gluttonion?
yes that shall be your new nickname

@♔ malachai hayes 「ᴋᴀɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ "Come in" I turn only my head from where i was getting free from my outfit, white shirt already gone, but the pink jacket(?) had a pesky zipper on the back. My eyes slowly drag up and down your whole form menacingly before cocking an eyebrow, "Don't you wish i did." It's not really a question, per se, and i am not really expecting an answer, so I turn my back to you again and swipe my hair to the side, a cocky smirk tugging at the corners of my lips, "You will always wait for me, Hayes". Then, when there is no immediate action, i do a little shimmy and angle my head impatiently "."

@❀ sharon miyoshi 「ᴍɪɴᴀ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ I couldn't help but roll my eyes at your words, your dramatics never failing to amuse me. It doesn't take me very long to reach my final destination, politely knocking on the door to your dressing room and giving a moment before opening the door and peeking my head in. Once I've double-checked that it's okay to enter, I slip into the room and throw open my arms with a teasing grin. "Did you miss me?" My arms fall to my side to allow my hands to slip into the pockets of my pants, my grin never leaving as I move closer, my head tilting with curiosity as I look over the different items and outfits in the room. "Are you finished here or am I waiting for you still?"

@♔ malachai hayes 「ᴋᴀɪ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ ((Decided on a lil switcheroo to itaewon, because you have another active thread in gangnam - didnt wanna confuse you!))


At the sound of the last “beep” of the phone, i leave it on read (this time involuntarily) in order to go to the intercom in the room. “Welcome home, cheater” I grin, clutching the receiver part between my ear and shoulder while a free hand dials my dressing room number and the big blue button to buzz you in as promised. “309, down the corridor, on the right” still i give the instructions and wait silently to hear the door click from the other end, making sure you're in.

@❀ he jiaxiang 「ᴊᴀʏᴅᴇɴ」ˣ.ᵈʸⁿᵐᵗᵉ it was almost as if kion hadn’t just gone through a break up, for the formidable amount of comfort he found in jayden’s presence alone was simply immeasurable— for the first time in a good while, the young trainee slowly found it a little easier to breath, what semblance he had of a smile finding reasons to cling to his lips a little more by the second. nothing was fake, nor forced. just like it had been in the old days where the latter had still been a trainee, they weren’t ever short of a good time whenever it came to the two being able to spend time with each other, letting boys be boys.

“you’re serious? no no no, you’ve got to be joking, say you’re kidding or else!” he let out with a chuckle, daringly getting up from his seat on the opposite end of the table before he makes it a point to simply squeeze into jayden’s side of the booth instead, latching an arm well around the other’s shoulders as he took a closer look at the menu the other held in his grasp. “noooo, no way man. there has to be something good. anything good! well, everything does look good– but we might starve at this rate if we can’t make up our minds asap!” he then turns to look at his good friend, their faces a mere couple of inches apart with a cheeky smile spreading across his lips in utmost desperation, especially on brand whenever it came to food. “save us, jayjay. do it for the greater good of mankind! or.. just for me of course, you did say you’ve got me so make it count? heh.”

@❀ kim yura 「sᴜɴ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ adorable. you’re absolutely adorable, mon amour. that there definitely has to be a story for another time, if ever you’re ready that is- just know i’ll always be keeping my eyes on you. (teasingly squints at the younger female, more fond bubbles of laughter escaping past her lips before she’s essentially clearing and pushing the same rosy brims into a firm line, the weight of her former groupmate’s words only making her slightly flustered by the second) kim yura, always the one with a way of words from the jump.. geez, you would’ve thought we’ve suddenly been called in for a cameo in some drama, huh? but honestly, say no more of course i’ll always make sure to have time to create with you. you better be ready for it too, that’s a long couple of hours just being balls deep in it at the studio. but i’m sure you already know that though, perfection does take time after all.

@❀ audrey kwon 「øᴅᴅ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ /lets out a little grumble as you keep teasing her, knowing that her face already turning red at that. However, all the playful demeanors gone as they talk more about work, slowly nodding her head in agreement/
You beat me in that path first. Look at you now, being a great producer after you left the group and even when with the group, you had always amazed me with your producing skill, Drei. That's why I brought these babies to you. I want to collaborate with you, to make these songs become a masterpiece. There's no other that I trust to do it but you.

@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ "Why of course," Jayden mused, unable to stop his body's own natural response to seeing Kion's wink. The warm pink in his ears migrated to his cheeks, and he could only pray it wouldn’t be as noticeable as he felt it was. To be frank, if he hadn't noticed his own blush just a moment before he definitely had by now. Especially with his eyes naturally avoiding his friend's for a split moment. Despite this seemingly awkward and shy reaction, he still kept his smile towards the other. He was determined not to falter, wanting to stay strong.

He let out a small hum as he looked over the menu, looking up to the other and tilting his head ever so slightly to the right. It was said people tend to mimic the actions of those they like, but hopefully this slight action would go unnoticed to the other. Playfulness remained on his expression as he pretended to think about it so he could give an answer. To be honest, he himself wasn't sure what he wanted to get. He hadn't even been to this restaurant in the past, and yet he had heard many people say it was incredible! Mainly some of his other friends he'd trained with. He attempted to search his memory for Vincent Yan's suggestion, but looking at the other man in front of him his mind had simply gone blank. "Im gonna be completely honest, I have no idea."

@❀ kim yura 「sᴜɴ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ sure, let’s just say that you do but.. that definitely won’t take us away from the truth, no? (with a quirked up brow, there’s no helping the triumphant chuckle that escapes past her lips especially when she can easily sense that something’s up with the younger female, her dainty fingers slipping around coffee cup idly as her gaze is fixated upon her gregarious companion) it’s amazing to think of where your head is at that far off in the future, and come to think of it, i can see it too but.. you can be all that /now/ and /with/ pandora. so.. why stop at just there? as for the song, it’s definitely something new– hell, i know love songs needed a little switch up someday either way before they bore the out of everyone. this here’s good though, so invest in it. work until this baby’s something everyone’s dying to come back to.

@♔ heo mina ᵇᵃᶜᵏᵘᵖ ᵈᵃⁿᶜᵉʳ This girl, seriously...
/just lets you poke my cheek before I hold your body up, shaking my head a little/
No dance floors, come on, you need to go out and get sober....
/chides with a furrow at my brows, turning towards the bartender to give him an apologetic smile for having my friend cause all these trouble as I held you on the way out, okay, more like dragged you on the way out, an arm around your waist, your arm by my shoulder as support/

@❀ he jiaxiang 「ᴊᴀʏᴅᴇɴ」ˣ.ᵈʸⁿᵐᵗᵉ “thank you, my good man— where would i ever be without you, eh.” quick to return the wink, kion soon let out a genuine chuckle, and probably for the first time in a while since he’s been lured into a sudden dark pit of despair where the airing was nothing but suffocatingly lonely. it was one thing to have relationships end through break ups, but to be ghosted, and left without so much as a single explanation? the young trainee was gutted for weeks, simply keeping to himself until the opportunity arose to at least rekindle what connection he still knew he had with another.

his friendship with jayden having remained fairly solid ever since they clicked with what matching schedules they had, even until the very moment the youngest of the two would be fortunate enough to debut, nonetheless kion still felt rather blessed he wasn’t as forgettable as he thought in that moment. there was no way he could miss the chance in seeing his buddy after soon long, let alone getting the chance to relax, and keep his mind cleared just for once as he settles back into his seat with a relaxed, soft sigh. a smile easily mimicking the other’s, albeit softer, spreading across his tiers as he quickly scanned across the menu in his hands then made it a point to give jayden his undivided attention. “so, what’s good? everything looks amazing, and my stomach’s growling as is but.. i gotta trust /the amazing sunbaenim/ himself to help me out here. heh.” he added, head cheekily lolling over to the side in the slightest bit with a raised brow.

@♔ shin evelynn 「ᴋᴀᴛᴀʀɪɴᴀ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ /groans cutely when I heard a female voice waking me up, giving out a pouty face since I cannot recognize who it is due to my blur vision
Eh, but I don't wanna go, miss..lemme me continue to have fun here~
/giggles softly as I poke their cheek gently with my finger
Such soft cheeks, like a chipmunk of course~
/slowly tries my best to get up, realizing I couldn't stand properly and became very tipsy
Let's go on the dance floor together~

@♔ heo mina ᵇᵃᶜᵏᵘᵖ ᵈᵃⁿᶜᵉʳ /receives the call from you but gets surprised when it was a male's voice over telling me to pick you up from the bar; stares at my watch before sighing, wondering what in the world happened to have you become so dead drunk as i rushed over./
/sees you slumped over on the bartop, trying my best to shake you awake/
Yah, Heo Mina, what's going on? Come on, wake up, you gotta go.

@♔ shin evelynn 「ᴋᴀᴛᴀʀɪɴᴀ」ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ /is currently on my last shot as I drink since I got here two hours ago which I drank about nine shots of soju, hearing the bartender asking my permission if they could call any friends of mine to pick me up
Go ahead
/hands them my phone once I unlock it and dial your number to call you as I realize that I'm slowly getting drunk, drinking my final shot
/then passes out afterwards, unable to hear the bartender calling you on my behalf

[] apologies for the bad starter

@❀ maekawa isekai 「ᴋɪᴏɴ」ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ There was a warm smile on Jayden's face as he made his way down the street, an arm slung casually around Kion's shoulders as he glanced around. There was a specific small restaurant that he was looking to go with his friend to-- to celebrate, was the main reason. After so many weeks of Jayden training on his own, and preparing to debut with X.Mpire, there was also the reason that he simply missed his friend, though. Well, his friend as well as the person he'd managed to grow fond of in a slightly different way, to be truthful. Throughout the couple of years he spent training with the other, his feelings grew more romantic and yet he never seemed to say anything. There was something telling him that these feelings weren't exactly reciprocated, and yet he still allowed his mind to wander and imagination to run laps. Even when it was so clear that Kion had liked someone else, or when he was in a relationship with her. This knowledge, even after that relationship ended, was like a final nail in the coffin. He knew he was on his own in these feelings, and yet he allowed them to fester and build.

Quickly opening the door to the small restaurant, Jayden bowed dramatically, his head lifting to look at his friend. "After you, good sir," he said in a similarly dramatic tone, the slightest laugh catching in the back of his throat as he winked to him. If one was paying close enough attention, they would notice a slight red tint to his ears as he did this, but even he himself didn't notice the warmth in his face. He allowed a playful energy to radiate, hoping that this would be enough to prevent the other from noticing. This seemed to be his tactic at hiding his feelings every time; to make it seem like he's only playing.


() please feel free to chop the length in half if it's too much om yfgbhujn

@❀ audrey kwon 「øᴅᴅ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ ...I hate you.
/rolled her eyes while huffing, knowing that you definitely know that she was just joking when she said she hated you. Nodding a ittle as she let herself relaxed/
maybe I should start thinking of being a song writer or producer when my time with pandora is up huh? and please... this song isn't really a good romantic song despite the title being Propose.

@❀ kogahara aiko 「ᴋ:ᴏᴅᴇ」ⁱⁿᶠˡᵘᵉⁿᶜᵉʳ /of course, he provided the female dj with a full show of whatever he was doing, more like devouring, the girl that was currently on his lap. lips were moving, hands were roaming, groping, her , her s, as if they were in their own world and not simply atop a couch in a crowded club, but his eyes were focused back onto aiko, shameless and mocking. "this is what you get for testing me," that was if he could speak right now, simply succumbing to the own pleasure that was filling him up. after what seemed like tens of minutes, he finally peeled the female out, herself leading him with a finger to take it further somewhere else, and he obliged with a wave, telling her to meet up right outside. once he was back alone, the gaze was still locked upon the dj, a finger to his lips, a mischevious wink sent in her way/

@❀ klaus von nacht ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ "I will be looking forward to your masterpiece, you better get them to hype you up louder than I will" He lets out with a chuckle, reaching his hand over to lightly ruffle the taller male's black locks affectionately before pushing himself off the wooden chair. He glances suspiciously at the other, but there is a small teasing grin at the corner of his tiers as he picks up the tall glass and tips it back to swallow the remains of his drink. "Get us two more of your stuff while I'm up there" The bassist says, using his head to motion to Klaus' own beer just as the chatter of the room changes into some clapping and a few whistles, commending the older man who currently wraps up his own song. As he makes his way to the stage, Tomo's eyes lock on the acoustic guitar that's been set up for use. He considers it for a moment before giving his surroundings a short check, gaze stopping at the black electric guitar propped up by one of the end tables. As a musician himself, Tomo knows not everyone is as willing to lend their own instruments, he himself very rarely does and only to a few trusted people, still, through skillful appeal and some good convincing words, he manages to get the initially hesitant owner to agree on allowing him a song. He sets up quickly and gives the crowd a few enthusiastic words as he makes sure the instrument is tuned. "This song doesn't have a name yet, so y'all let me know by the end if it's worth naming" The musician jokes lightly as he strums the guitar once before adjusting the mic to his height and finally hitting the few first notes. He keeps it simple at first, starting by just accompanying chords with the voice, more so to mark the rhythm as he builds up, and only adding some more melodic chords once he gets to the first chorus, as that had been the part he'd fully worked on during the creative process. The second verse had never been entirely finished so he improvises, the lyrics get a little bit butchered but otherwise it sounds pretty okay, to him at least. Once he gets the wordless and unfinished bridge, he finally offers some improvised riffs to show off a little bit on the instrument he didn't get to pick up as often nowadays. Tomo then closes the song with one last repeat of the chorus and one more enthusiastic riff into an abrupt ending and playful taking an exaggerated bow. "Think I'm worthy of debuting yet?" He joked with a quiet snicker eyeing Klaus with a questioning tilt of his head, knowing most of the people at the bar were older folks and likely had no idea who he was.

@❀ kim yura 「sᴜɴ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ you think i’m teasing you? hm, i wonder why. (shrugging a tad, she simply smiled at the younger female with glints of mischievousness in her eyes until her focus is shifted towards the song once again especially as it nears the end, a subtle smile of approval spreading across her lips) i think you’ve found your calling, sun. dare i say pandora’s got itself another hit? of course, i’d love to see how the final composition really evolves into a finished piece but this here’s such a good start. guess we really do have your.. /inspiration/ to thank, huh.

@❀ namgung hae ᵇᵒᵈʸᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ “every. single. time. and it’s been this way for all the years that i’ve been assigned to work with them. it’s hectic, and they’re brats for sure, but luckily the sort of fun kind from time to time.” with the shake of a head, a sigh escapes her lips that retained the subtlest of smiles for a short moment, until it is ruptured through with a chuckle as soon as she catches the fairly exhausted look on her junior’s face. man, had those boys truly ran hae to the ground. “i wanna say you’d get the hang of it watching those boys, but better to see it to believe it, right? i’m just hoping you don’t tap out this fast when you’ve /just/ pulled through!”

knowing the both of them earned the rights to at least enjoy the rest of their night with a delicious, piping hot meal, ziyi is essentially giving the younger female an amused look at her theatrics before her steps are soon to lead the way to the restaurant she had mentioned where in a good matter of minutes they’d be by the entrance, and in no time, seated at a table with menus for two. “ahh.. just as homey as i remembered it. kinda crazy, but i feel like i could finish up a whole buffet at this rate?” she mused, looking through the menu in her hands and already feeling fairly indecisive from how good everything seemed.

@❀ moon eunhwi 「ᴛᴏᴍᴏ」ʳᵉⁿᵘ the younger lets a sassy little coo slip out as he's further amped up with anticipation. "i've got just the thing! after this guy's done, you should go first. it's been too long since i've seen you play for a crowd." a hand then reaches out to aggressively pat against tomo's shoulder before gripping him tight, grinning from ear to ear. for the first time in a long while he's relaxed and carefree amidst his friend's soothing presence. time was becoming more and more precious ever since both of them seemed to be occupied with their work so klaus is determined to make the best of their moments together. "pinky promise i won't steal your beer while you're up."

@❀ audrey kwon 「øᴅᴅ」ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ why do I sense the teasing in your voice, drei unnie?
/huffs a little then focusing her attention back to the older female as the latter listening to her song; growing anxious as time passes by/
so...? what's the verdict?

@❀ klaus von nacht ᵗʳᵃⁱⁿᵉᵉ At the younger's response Tomo eyes the stage, where an older man was currently playing an acoustic guitar while avoiding the microphone, and his lips part into a small smile at the now very familiar nickname in a foreign language. "Could do both" He agrees with a nod before bringing the tall beer to his lips for a long sip. He takes a silent moment as he swallows the drink before offering a shake of his head to the follow-up question, the flattering remarks easily bringing a quiet chuckle from the shorter male. "Nothing new..." The bassist started simply before tilting his head a little in ponderation "But I do have some old drafts that haven't seen the light of day yet" He then faces Klaus again, brow raising slightly in a playful challenge "We could try an original each? Something that's still in the works or unfinished and just improvise... Have anything that fits?"

@❀ hsu tzufeng 「ғɪʀsᴛ」ᵃᶜᵗᵒʳ (she was celebrating fairly early, her head nodding along in enjoyment to the infectious strum of beats that fills the club as the smile on her face persisted for a good while now that she could find her pace of comfort where she stands by the dj booth— the female need not think about anything else but the good music and good people that surrounded her space, of course, until she’s peering up from the console and catching the faintest view of what quite obviously would come to drag her mood through the mud once again) you’ve gotta be joking— (she wasn’t even the slightest bit bothered nor was it jealousy that peaked through because said man was with another girl, she knew there were others like her, but it was the whole audacity to just shamelessly show his face and commit such acts around her that throws her off. fiery gaze of seething rage unknowingly watching on as he ravished his prey of the night, unable to even pull away whenever their eyes would lock as if he were putting on a whole show that has her unfortunately spectating)

@❀ namgung hae ᵇᵒᵈʸᵍᵘᵃʳᵈ “now tell me, just where else do you think i’m getting my free workouts from? it’s both a blessing and a curse but i’m telling you, these boys keep me toned. that’s all that matters.” she let out a chuckle, aiming to simply make light of the situation after what felt like quite a long day. but if there had to be one thing the bodyguard appreciated, at least, she had the younger female by her side whose company was undoubtedly one of the best she’s ever had in a long while after years of preferring to work and moreover, stay solo.

there was something about hae that quickly became comforting as a whole to the point that ziyi now stood, ready to dine with her as if they’ve always been pals eating together for god knows how long. “oh my god, phò? say no more, i’m in.” she added, the mere thought of food soon in her grasp practically causing her stomach to growl. wanting to waste not a minute longer in suffering, the oldest of the two is essentially fishing her phone out as well just to see if she could get any pointers for good restaurants nearby until one instantly pops up into her head. “oh, hang on. there is this one spot that me and a couple of staff members went to not too long ago. maybe that should do? it should be just a few minutes away.”

@❀ kim yura 「sᴜɴ」ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵒʳᵃ (a knowing smile spreads across her lips, eyes teasingly narrowing themselves in the younger female’s direction from having sensed that there was something she clearly wasn’t being told, nonetheless she shrugs it off knowing that in time she will essentially come to know without so much as a single push— knowing yura, at least) mhn.. sure. i trust you 100%. (she musters a little too nonchalantly, taking the single earphone to wear in order to start tuning in where in a matter of minutes her arms are crossed, eyebrows furrowed in concentration as she concentrated on not only the composition of beats but also the lyrics flowing through) hm. hmmm..
