@✦ jeon baekho「ᴛᴀɪɢᴀ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ “oh but i do want you to dream of me. dream of me when i win over you again, and again, annnd again~” maia added with a hearty chuckle, quickly reaching over to playfully pinch taiga’s cheek as a last resort of retaliation. “big words for a big guy, but i’m sure i can take it. name your conditions, then maybe i’ll adjust!” with her nose crinkling habitually, she’s already sitting upright just to get the sound system ready, glints of determination scintillating in her orbs of cocoa brown for their never ending competitions with one another.

Amidst the pulsating beats of the rehearsal studio, Hanjun, the extraordinarily talented idol, is engrossed in the intricate task of creating a complex dance routine for his group, Riot. The room is a whirlwind of energy and determination, as Hanjun meticulously thinks about every move, pushing the boundaries of creativity and precision.

Hanjun's vision for the dance is nothing short of breathtaking. He envisions a performance that will not only mesmerize but also challenge the very limits of his group's dancing abilities. Each step, spin, and leap is designed to tell a compelling story, conveying the emotions and intensity of Riot's music through the language of movement.

As Hanjun works tirelessly alongside his fellow dancers, the hours melt away, but their dedication remains unwavering. The intricate footwork, synchronized jumps, and gravity-defying lifts are all part of the intricate tapestry of this dance. Hanjun's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every member of Riot is in perfect harmony, moving as one entity, as they prepare to captivate audiences with a dance performance that promises to leave a lasting impression.

@✦ imani amatayakul「ᴍᴀɪᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ Staring at the girl with a smile, Taiga plopped down beside her to give the girl a side hug, patting Maia's back just before pulling away. "Oh please. Just say you want me to dream of you, Maia." He rolled his eyes good naturely, his hand reached to ruffle her hair in playful manner. "You better to get ready to lose today then. Because I don't plan on going easy on you~ should we bet on something?"

~arrives at the practice studio and vibes in the corner writing some lyrics and whatnot, wanting to practice that instead of dancing~
~sighing he watches as the others come in and puts his hood up and grins lightly at the other boys~

@✦ hayden gu「ғᴇʟɪx」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ after ensuring that felix received the necessary medical attention and arranging for his comfort at the dorm, jiho couldn't help but reflect on the events of the day. he understood the gravity of the situation – one of their own had been injured, and it was a stark reminder of the vulnerability they all shared as human beings.

as he sat in the quiet dorm room, jiho's thoughts were consumed by a mix of emotions. concern for felix's well-being remained at the forefront, but there was also a sense of pride in how the team had come together in a time of need. they were not just performers; they were a family, and today had reaffirmed that bond.

jiho knew that the road to recovery might be challenging for felix, but he was confident that with the support of the entire group, they would overcome any obstacles in their path. he had faith in each member's resilience and determination, qualities that had brought them this far.

(sorry this was short,, maybe we can move to dorm or somewhere else to continue, but if you don't want to continue it's fine too ! :> )

@✦ lau baihu「ʜᴜɪ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ maia didn’t know how she did it, but she had found the willpower to get up early and pull not just herself, but also hui to the dance studio for some hours of practice. unfortunately, however, it was proving to be a little bit of a struggle, and for one of the most unconventional reasons ever— taking everything in her to not burst out laughing at her own appearance reflected back by the mirrors surrounding them, a fine result of crying for hours partially hidden beneath the cap and shades she wore for this reason alone. “awh, i think i should still have some! poppy handed me some not too long ago that i keep in my bag just incase.. i’d go get some but–” she finally lets out a chuckle, amused at the mere sight of them slumped out against each other; maia’s head lightly resting against hui’s with her arm easily curled around them in a gentle embrace. “you look pretty comfy as is, hubby!”

@✦ jeon baekho「ᴛᴀɪɢᴀ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ with a more than familiar presence entering the room, maia’s line of concentration easily has her gaze averting towards the door just to easily greet taiga with a cheeky smile resting on her rosy tiers. the same show of pearly whites that kept itself consistent ever since they first started training at similar times, not once backing out on any competitive nature— only to now end up as debuted idols under the same company, with the same passionate spirit that tied these two together like moths to a flame. “please.. just say that i’m haunting your dreams with these moves on mine, hm?“ she chuckled, easily beckoning the male to come over so she could wrap her arms around him and give him a quick hug. “you here for another dance battle? or am i gonna have to go easy on you, and just share the room again~”

@✦ imani amatayakul「ᴍᴀɪᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ after a long night holed up inside the dorm binging sappy romantic kdramas with their favorite bestie ever (not to mention one too bottles of soju and chocolates), hui was certified exhausted. puffy red eyes still inflamed from drunk sobbing, head thumping with a little hangover ache. "aish, do you have any aspirin?" hui groaned as they leaned against maia's shoulder and tiredly sipping their coffee. "i'm so dead this morning.."

@✦ cho hyunsoo「ɢᴇʟᴀᴛᴏ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "Yes! You better be drinking water too, then," Yanjhn told them. He hummed in thought before a wide grin appeared on his face. "Ninja turtles!" He cried out, clapping his hands. "And yeah, that sounds good. Bingwen would be upset if I didn't get him food, anyway."

@✦ min yanjun ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "I am glad then " he said to him and thought for a moment and closed his eyes for a moment, he then smiled "I like that what moive would you like to watch?" he asked him and chuckles softly as he also got into position and smiles "After we can pick up Chineses food for everyone then" he said to him

@✦ cho hyunsoo「ɢᴇʟᴀᴛᴏ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "Don't worry, hyung," Yanjun said with a soft grin. He pursed his lips in thought. "Let's maybe go to the movies! That's always fun," he said with a laugh. He nodded in agreement. "Chinese food sounds delicious right now," he added, before also getting into position.

@✦ min yanjun ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "You better be " he said with a smile on his face, as he ruffled his cousin's hair. He hummed softly a bit and nods "we should like the good old days right?" he said to the other. Listening to the other he nods "food is of course very important." he nods and smiles softly as he finished stretching and nods getting into postion playing one of their songs

@✦ cho hyunsoo「ɢᴇʟᴀᴛᴏ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "I always drink my water, hyung!" Yanjun said with a soft laugh. He grinned and nodded his head, hugging him more tightly. "We really gotta find more time for eachother!" He said, letting go of the hug after a couple seconds and picking up the water so he could drink it. "It definitely will be fun!" He said. "Amd food is always a must." Yanjun hummed in thought, nodding his head in agreement. "That's good enough for me."

@✦ jeon jiho ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ In those crucial moments when Jiho rushed to Felix's side, a whirlwind of emotions stirred within him. Pain was undeniable, but it was accompanied by overwhelming gratitude and a sense of unworthiness. Jiho, their esteemed leader, had always been a figure Felix deeply respected and looked up to, both as a performer and as a person. The genuine concern etched across Jiho's face served as a stark reminder of the tight-knit bond they shared as a group. It transcended mere choreography and music; it was a familial connection.

As Jiho helped him settle down, his voice, gentle yet firm, cut through the haze of pain that clouded Felix's senses. The reassurance that his health took precedence was a profound comfort, and Felix struggled to hold back tears. It wasn't easy for someone who had always striven for excellence to admit weakness. However, Jiho's unwavering tone underscored their unity, reminding Felix that no one should shoulder the burden of pain alone.

When Jiho turned his attention to the other members, informing them of his intent to take Felix to the hospital, Felix couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. They were more than just teammates; they were his brothers, and inconveniencing them weighed heavily on his conscience. Yet, Jiho's understanding gaze and unwavering support alleviated those feelings. He was exemplifying true leadership by putting the team's well-being first.

Guiding Felix out of the dance studio, Jiho's arm provided not only physical support but also a comforting presence that reassured him he wasn't alone in this ordeal. Jiho swiftly arranged for immediate medical attention, ensuring that Felix would be seen by a doctor without delay. His efficiency and care exemplified his leadership qualities.

Sitting in the sterile waiting room of the hospital, Felix contemplated the journey that had brought him to this point. The countless hours of practice, the sacrifices, and the shared dreams were a testament to how much Revolt meant to him. Jiho's unwavering commitment to his well-being emphasized the significance of their unity. They weren't just a group of performers; they were a family, and families looked out for each other.

When Jiho turned to Felix, his eyes filled with understanding and empathy, it felt as if he could see through the walls Felix had built around himself. "Listen here," he said, his voice brimming with sincerity, "you're not letting anyone down." Those words struck Felix like a revelation. He had been so consumed by the fear of disappointing his team that he had lost sight of the bigger picture. They were a team, bound by shared dreams and aspirations. His health wasn't a burden; it was a shared concern.

Jiho's reassurances continued, reminding Felix that they would take care of each other. It wasn't just about him; it was about all of them. The weight of his words sank in, and Felix felt profound gratitude. He wasn't alone in this struggle, and he didn't have to endure the pain in isolation. Together, they would face it, as a team.

As they waited for the doctor, Jiho's presence served as a source of comfort. Words were unnecessary; his support spoke volumes. In that hospital waiting room, Felix realized the true depth of the bond they shared. It was a bond that went beyond the stage, the music, and the applause of the audience. It was forged through countless hours of hard work, shared dreams, and, most importantly, unwavering support for one another.

Jiho's actions that day were a testament to his leadership, his compassion, and his dedication to the well-being of their group. He had not only taken charge of the situation but had also tended to Felix's emotional well-being. His words were a lifeline, pulling Felix out of the depths of self-doubt and pain.

As Felix sat there, waiting for medical attention, he felt a renewed sense of determination. He would recover, not just for himself but for his team, his family. The road ahead might be challenging, but with Jiho and the rest of Revolt by his side, he knew he could overcome any obstacle. Their journey wasn't solely about reaching the pinnacle of success; it was about growing together, supporting each other, and cherishing the moments that defined them as a team. Jiho had reminded him of that, and Felix was filled with a gratitude that transcended words.

@✦ hayden gu「ғᴇʟɪx」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ jiho's role as revolt's leader went beyond just choreography and performances; he felt a deep responsibility for the physical and emotional well-being of his fellow members. as the practice continued, he couldn't help but notice felix's deteriorating condition, despite the young man's valiant efforts to hide his pain.

when jiho finally saw felix wince in agony, he knew he had to take action immediately. he halted the music and rushed to felix's side, his expression filled with genuine concern. gently, he helped felix to sit down, his voice soft but resolute. "your health is our priority. you don't have to push yourself so hard and most importantly, don't be sorry." there's a firm tone in his voice. jiho knows better when this kind of things happened, they would blaming themselves for not be able to endure the pain, and jiho hates it. for him, it's okay to be in pain — means they will have enough rest to become better.

he turned to other members and said he will take felix to the hospital first and come back in a while. "you guys can continue practices together. I'll be back."

with a sense of responsibility weighing on him, jiho guided felix out of the dance studio, his arm providing the support felix desperately needed. he arranged for immediate medical attention, ensuring that felix was seen by a doctor as soon as possible.

as they sat in the hospital waiting room, jiho turned to felix, his eyes filled with understanding and empathy. "listen here, you're not letting anyone down. we're a team, and your well-being matters to all of us. we'll take care of you, and when you're ready, we'll get back to practicing together. your health is more important than any performance." assured jiho.

@✦ jeon jiho ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ As Felix gingerly eased himself into a sitting position, a wave of excruciating pain surged through his back, sending sharp, shooting sensations radiating outward from a central point of agony. It felt as though hot, searing needles were stabbing into his lower back, each movement causing the pain to intensify.

Every muscle in his back seemed to have rebelled against him, protesting against the strain and overexertion from the dance routine. The pain was relentless, throbbing with a relentless rhythm that matched the beat of the music still echoing in the dimly lit dance studio. It made his breath catch in his throat, and his eyes watered involuntarily as he fought to hide his suffering from his teammates.

Felix knew he needed rest and medical attention, but for now, he had to soldier on, his determination battling against the overwhelming agony coursing through his back. Felix's heart raced as Jiho's voice cut through the pounding bass and the synchronized movements of his fellow dancers. Panic welled up inside him, and he felt his facade of strength crumble under the weight of Jiho's stern scrutiny.

He tried to speak, but his voice quivered with fear and pain. "J-Jiho," Felix stammered, his words barely audible over the music. His eyes darted around the room, desperately searching for an escape, but there was none. He couldn't let them see, couldn't admit weakness. But the pain in his back was unbearable, shooting through his body with each step.

Tears welled up in Felix's eyes as he forced himself to stand a little straighter, to appear stronger than he felt. "I-I'm fine," he whispered his voice cracking, the lie tasting bitter on his tongue. Felix's chest tightened with guilt as he felt Jiho's unwavering gaze pierce through him. He knew he couldn't keep up the charade any longer, not when his body was screaming in agony.

With a trembling breath, he mustered the courage to speak up, even though it meant admitting weakness. "I'm so sorry, Jiho," Felix mumbled, his voice filled with remorse. He slowly began to ease the weight off his injured ankle, wincing in pain as he did so. "I needed to take a short break..." Felix's eyes were downcast, unable to meet Jiho's disappointed gaze. He had let his team down, and the weight of that failure hung heavy on his shoulders.

@✦ hayden gu「ғᴇʟɪx」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ jiho stood at the center of the dimly lit dance studio, a stern expression etched onto his face. as the leader of Revolt, he took their practice sessions seriously and demanded nothing less than perfection from his team. the room was filled with the rhythmic beats of their latest track, the bass pulsating through the air, setting the stage for their upcoming performance.

amidst the synchronized moves and the sweat-drenched determination of his fellow dancers, jiho's sharp eyes caught a momentary weakness in felix. the normally energetic and dedicated member of the group was slacking off, his movements sluggish and disjointed. jiho's brow furrowed as he zeroed in on felix wincing in pain, just for an instant, but it didn't escape his vigilant gaze.

jiho's voice, like a whip cracking through the air, pierced the room. "felix! what's going on? this isn't the level of commitment we expect here!" his tone was strict, unwavering, as he approached felix, pushing him to confront whatever was ailing him.

@✦ imani amatayakul「ᴍᴀɪᴀ」ᵐʸˢᵗⁱᵠᵘᵉ Another day, another practice till drop time for Taiga as he made his way to the dance practice room. He couldn't be more happier when he knew he's gonna be in the Revolt too, same as his brother whom he looked up to, despite being in the subunit they still had chances to promote together too. Stopping in front of the dance practice room, he spotted a figure inside; a figure which he didn't need to see the face to know who is it. Smiling to himself, Taiga gently open the door in order not to startle the female inside although he was sure she could already see him from the mirror wall. "If someone doesn't know better, they might start to think this dance room is haunted because you're standing in the middle motionless like that."

@✦ min yanjun ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ "Make sure you drinks it okay don't want my favorite cousin." he said to the other and hummed softly and tilted his head for a moment. '
That is true just us like the old days" he said to him and wrapped his arms around him happily. "It will be fun to pratctice together right now though...maybe after we can go get some good food" he said to him. "hmmm what about some of our older songs to see if we still can do the songs flawlessly.

@✦ cho hyunsoo「ɢᴇʟᴀᴛᴏ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ Yanjun looked up with a smile as he saw his cousin came in. "Oh! That's okay!" he said, before giggling as Hyunsoo hugged him. He turned and hugged him back quickly. "We did! I've been wanting to hang out with you for so long," Yanjun told him. "Yeahh, we see eachother at home, but that's never enough!" He started stretching again. "What do you want to practice?"

@✦ min yanjun ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ The elder of the cousin's finally made his way into the dance studio "Sorry sorry I brought us some water " he said and smiled at his cousin tackling him into a hug "We finally found time to just hang out" he said to the other, it was a bit where they were just Hyunsoo and Yanjun. "So~" he asked as he began to stretch next to him.

@✦ cho hyunsoo「ɢᴇʟᴀᴛᴏ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ Yanjun sat on the ground, stretching so he could start practice. He made it to the dance studio early, excited to be practicing with his cousin. They usually were always with their group, so he really looked forward to the moments he got to spend with Hyunsoo. Once he finished stretching, he glanced at his phone to check the time. "Almost time," he said softly with a small grin.

@✦ jeon baekho「ᴛᴀɪɢᴀ」ʳᵉᵛᵒˡᵗ life was good, and with each passing day, it only felt as if life was getting better for maia ever since she’d debuted. it almost felt like yesterday when mystique's line-up had been announced, and the girl had burst into tears knowing all those years of hard work simply paid off. here she now sat, resting in the center of the same room she’d clung to for most of her years as a trainee, a curt smile plastered across her lips. for no matter how breathless she would get, or how much her body ached after each intense practice session, never would she once resist relishing in the sheer satisfaction of being able to improve with every fiber of her being. let alone, in her state of prime that was to dance.
