─ talking

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ "oh please, i don't need that." rose laughed at ryujin's words and moved back into the bathroom to clean her next set of brushes, running her hand through her blonde hair. "yes, i need to see what they have in the markets here. i love collecting makeup, there's gotta be some super awesome pigments here." she hummed quietly to herself and then placed her phone on speaker. "okay i'll see you soon!"

@◈ roseanne park ʀᴏsé⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "I could ask you to do my makeup everyday to make you feel like you're working." She playfully respond, the teasing tone in the younger's voice as she moved the phone to her other ear while grabbing some snacks ranging from sweet to savoury. "Well I have no plans anyway so sure sure, would love to go shopping. But you gotta go shopping for souvenirs with me too." Ryujin then made her way over to the counter, placing the good down. "Eonnie I'll head up soon, just gonna pay first, I'll see you soon."

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ "i didn't expect it either, but i also thought i was going to be working a *lot* more than i apparently am while here." rose laughed softly and opened the can of coke she had with her, taking a long sip before sighing and sitting down on the edge of her bed. "but i wouldn't mind going shopping, either. need a few things—well, *want* a few things."

@◈ roseanne park ʀᴏsé⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "Okay, chocolate ice cream, also just got your text, will be there in a flash." She said with a smile, checking the text message when she felt the vibration indicating it. Ryujin quickly made her way down to the convenience store as she listened to Rosé. "That sounds fun, I didn't pack one either so sure let's go shopping tomorrow. I didn't expect to go swimming on this vacay." She chuckled softly, making beeline towards the ice cream section and grabbing two small pints, one chocolate and one coffee crumble before she grabbed some snacks available, balancing the phone between her ear and shoulder.

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ "chocolate ice cream please! let me text it to you i have it written in my notes because i am forgetful." rose quickly opened her notes to copy the hotel number before sending it to ryujin via text message, and she got up again to clean the second round of brushes. "you know, we're gonna need a beach day i think. i want the sun, and some swimming. we might have to go shopping tomorrow, i forgot a swim suit."

@◈ roseanne park ʀᴏsé⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "Time to sit back and relax then. Alright, I can bring some candy and some other snacks that can't be delivered. There's a convenience store nearby. Do you want some ice cream?" She asked, stuffing her wallet and keycard in her hoodie's pocket before heading out of the hotel room. "Very ready indeed. Okay okay gonna head there after a quick run to the store. Wait what's your hotel room?"

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ "hell yeah, come on by. we'll put on a crappy movie, i might see if i can get some food delivery." rose hummed and turned off the bathroom light before moving over to where her bed was, pulling her hair up into a messy bun and pulling on a fluzzy headband. "i've got some face masks too, and nail polish. always gotta bring the essentials."

@◈ roseanne park ʀᴏsé⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "Yes, the backstage was like a pit stop and you, along with the rest of the makeup artists and stylists were like a pit crew. So a big congratulations to you." She said with a smile, humming softly. "Well if you're about to drink, wanna drink together? I can bring some snacks or something to pair with red wine."

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ "no, i have no plans for tonight except for drinking this bottle of red wine i got." rose hummed softly and continued to clean her brushes before setting the first group of them out to dry, picking up her phone to carry it with her into the bathroom. "congrats for what? getting through it?"

@◈ roseanne park ʀᴏsé⁻ᵐᵘᵃ "No worries eonnie, glad you got back to your hotel room in one piece though after everything, after all, you did a lot today. So just wanna tell you congrats for starters." She chuckled, humming softly before. "Is this a bad time though?"

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ rose checked the caller id and grinned widely to herself before picking it up, putting the phone on speaker as she was busy going through all of her brushes to clean them. "ryujinnie! sorry if it's a bit echo-y, i'm in the bathroom—my makeup brushes are all sorts of messy right now from having to use them on so many people."

@♊︎ felix lee ᴸᴵˣ *Loren's phone was clunky in June's hand, but the seat was warm as he shoved his hyung off of it and forced the elder to sit on his bed*
*June had spent a record time of .2 seconds primping so he didnt' look like the overthinking, death incarnate he'd been the past 48 hours, but he avoided staring at his face in the screen still*
*He could barely make himself look into Felix's eyes, but he did, because the other deserved that after the mess June had left on their last visit*
Hey Lixxie... I mean Lix - Felix!
Um, so, you got my texts? I made it home
*he flinched at himself* Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase before hyung takes his phone back
I ... I want to see you again, and I want to talk... About ... *June's face turned the darkest shade of red under his newly dyed, blond hair, the stepping stone to his next look for Royal Flush's comeback*
We should talk about last time is all I'm saying...

(i feel like plushi would be preparing around the timeline of this so at the meet up i'm making hwa's hair pink uwu)

*Natty was a fluttering mess around the dorm with her sheet mask falling half off her face and a towel wrapped around her body*
*the shower could still be heard behind her as well as the clanging of bottles and limbs as she tried to reorient herself*
I CAN'T CALM DOWN!
When did you get the news?! We need to celebrate! Oh my GOD! What if we end up promoting together?

- — OMG WAIT I WASN'T READY HOLD ON

— — —

yunjin laughed as she picked up the facetime call, having secluded herself on the rooftop of the dorm building so they could have a little bit of privacy. immediately the volume was loud through her earbud, but she clicked her tongue and shook her head. "natty, babe, calm down you're so loud!"

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ changkyun scoffed lightly at the girl's remarks. does he even have time to make jokes right now? his feelings are so messed up, and obviously, he can't think straight. hearing those two names made changkyun laugh even louder. "and you think i'm scared or worried about them? heh. i'm not a coward like you — ugh, you're unbelievable. why do you even care where i am right now!!" changkyun was about to say more when one of his friends took the phone and told ryujin their location, which made changkyun furious. he snatched the phone back, yelling at his friend, "why... why are you telling her???"

@☼ im changkyun ᴵ.ᴹ "This isn't funny Changkyun." She warned, dropping any hint of formality the moment he drunk texted her. The sound of giggles on the other end seemed to infuriate her more. Ryujin knew that he was a grown man but she couldn't help but worry. "If Tiffany-nim finds out that you're out drinking- or worst, Jessica-nim." She muttered under her breath, eyebrows furrowing as she made her way in her car, putting him on speaker. "You're drunk, you're not making sense. Now where the are you? I'm picking you up."

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ hearing the panic in your voice made him giggle as he took another sip of his drink. "I'm somewhere in the city," he said with a laugh. "I'm not out of the country yet! HAHAHA! are you mad? what are you so mad about? I thought you only cared about that guy..." his emotions began to overwhelm him, riling him up at the thought of the earlier incident—seeing you with someone who adored you the same way he did. "just go to him!" he muttered, his words slurring incoherently.

@☼ im changkyun ᴵ.ᴹ Hello?
Thank God you answered
Where are you?
Why are you this drunk?
What hurts?
STAY IN ONE PLACE IM CHANGKYUN, YOU STAY RIGHT THE THERE
/she ran her fingers through her hair, biting her lower lip as she raced down from the studio to the parking.
Okay, where are you? What do you see? Who are you with?

@◈ shin ryujin⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ [ pick up the calls with drunken smiles ]
— shinryu yaa!! ... guess where am I right now hehee..

@☼ hwang hyunjin //scrunches up for a second when its revealed that people are gossipping about the closet, but glad to understand its Hanbin who they gossip was mistakenly locked up with me; decides to not fix that mistake and grins at Changbinnie instead, waving at him through the camera, trying not to get seasick from all the whooshing around/
Okay you've taken me on a trip through all Janus boys, that's enough. I'd still pick to marry Hanbin though, no matter how stinky he is.
Yes yes, go now, don't... keep people waiting. Thanks for calling, Hyunjinnie, okay bye now~~

〘 call with successful romeo fanboy #1 ended at 3:15pm〙

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ Uh yeah, because I heard from staff at the tour that you were stuck in a closet
*his eyebrows shoot up, eyes widening to focus on the screen to gage Solar's reaction at him revealing this big juicy secret he had discovered*
HAH! How long did you think you could hide that from me?
And boo on practice ! We're done
*he groans, sidling up to Changbin as he walks by and forcing the phone in front of him* Say happy birthday Solar
Anyways - *brings the phone back, trying to point it at Hanbin* Marriage is overrated, but you can shack up if you want
I don't know what you see in him though *zooms on the leader's face* Stinky. Forreal.

"Hwang Hyunjin. Grab your stuff and clear out. There's another class here."

*with Lee Know's voice sounding strict behind him, Hyunjin has no choice, even if he fake glares like a child* Fine fine, have you private practice with Mr. Stinker Stink
Listen noona - I'll let you go okay? I gotta "grab my stuff and clear out" *mocks the dance teacher's voice just because he can, snickering mid-phrase*

@☼ hwang hyunjin //sighs at the closeup of day-old stubble and sweaty skin, falling on the bed in my own room with an affectionate smile/
Oh really? Did you now? Well, tell Hanbin that I am very disappointed... that he didn't succeed in hurting you, he should try harder next time.
//grins and waves a little, grinning at the second face now appearing on screen, but my face drops when you say "wife", and i spot a familiar face lurking around; tries to regain my senses/
A-ah, am I Hanbin's future wife? Is this a wish or a threat, Hwang Hyunjin? You know marriage is a very serious thing, dont-- don't joke like that.
Yah, don't you two have a practice to go back to?

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *girl not goal OTL

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *the tornado that was Hyunjin did not care for anyone outside of him and his phone-sized Solar right now, the birthday girl and woman of the hour in every right*
*when her voice bugs through the phone, he leans in, the whole frame zoomed on his pores while he strains his ear*
Eh? What was that?
*lifts the phone again, returning himself to center screen, now horizontal with Minho eyeing him over his phone screen, nose scrunched to try and squint at him without his lenses or glasses*
We just finished practice. Hanbin hyung tried to hurt me so I immediately called you for help -
I mean, no sorry, I called you for your birthday only
Happy birthday againnnnn
*he flutters his fingers to the camera with a laugh*
Practice was hard. I'm sweatyyyyyy. Hanbin hyung - *veers backwards to walk straight into the leader, grabbing his shoulder and steering him at the camera* Say hi to the birthday goal
Seonsaengnim - say hi to Solar! Hyung's future wife~~~~

@☼ hwang hyunjin 〘 successful romeo fanboy #1 requests a facetime〙

- oh its gonna be a facetime, okay...

〘 answered at 2:59pm 〙

- Hwa--... awwwwhhhh~
*laughs at the stupidity, grinning into the tiny rectangle, kinda missing the mayhem, but still glad i can get to rest/
- Awh, thanks, Hyunjinnie. You're still stupid, but i love you //shoots a finger heart to the camera// Were you practicing well?
//blinks when the phone focuses and feels my stomach dip at the broadcast, having completely deleted the information of who the choreographer is/
- Hyunjin-ah? Are you there? I can't see you

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ NOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! *pauses only to look over his shoulder and glare at s, shouting over their rabble*
Sing with me! It's Solar noona's birthday - yeah yeah you're a chump - no /you're/ a chump - feelings aren't embarrassing Kai, try 'em -
*sticks out his tongue in true Hyunjin fashion, grinning cheekily back at the screen to carry on his tune*
Happy birthday to youuuuu! Keep coming backkkkk!
Wooooooo! *mimes clapping and jumps around the room, the screen blurring until he drops in front of Hanbin, who's face to face with Lee Know in what looks to be the most awkward conversation of all time, the phone screen that filmed their practice the only buffer between them*
Sup noona - I'm at practice, well, it just ended, but it's your birthday so.
Sup. Happy birthday. *fingers guns*
