`GOODBYE BABY

everytime you snatch my mind

everytime i catch your eye,

Mae swept her hair back as she left the stage, hands linked with Rubi
and Sunhi ruffling her hair from behind her shouting about how they'd done a brilliant job and she was hungry enough to die or something, feeling on top of the world as always. It was so weird to think it had already been almost 3 months- a goodbye stage was soon to appear in their future. In fact, this performance was likely to be one of their last on this promotion cycle. And soon she'd be standing on the stage in a much different capacity- as an MC this time, with someone who was rapidly becoming a friend of hers. It was one of the first real friends she'd had since the debacle blowup of her sort of friendship group during her trainee days, something she tried not to think about as she maneouvered away from her group to navigate the crowd better. Tugging at the end of her rather small black dress, she slipped past the members of Mega, heading for a small backroom they were to be sharing with some group she had forgotten already- usually it was SPark, but they were rather busy today, and despite their rapidly skyrocketing popularity, they were still just a rookie group, fresh out of their debut, and so they were hardly going to swing a room of their own. Sunhi and the others had left for another schedule- only she and Sori were to remain for the special interview portion after all of the performances. QTZ had been early in the lineup today, so she had more than enough time to kill- and Sori had wandered off to hang out with kids from who knew what group, that girl had friends all over the place.

So, at odds with her surroundings, Mae found herself wandering the hallways farther from Kiwi's epicenter, keeping close enough that her manager couldn't get TOO mad- though since the MC gig had come in he'd been quite a bit more lenient, hardly lazy but definitely not a thoroughly unreasonable slavemaster. But then, he was probably just thrilled he hadn't been stuck with the SPark gig. Slipping into a room marked with QTZ and someone else's logo- she didn't pay much attention- she slid towards the side of the room with their stuff, pulling her phone out and texting Sunhi to ask how on earth they'd gotten changed so fast, and why didn't those bitches say goodbye anyway? Lifting herself up, she slid onto the table in the center of the dressing room, swinging her legs back and forth to kick off her heels, eyeing the people walking by with interest. "No oh no oh no oh oh" she sung softly under her breath, bare feet swinging softly- she was quite thriled to have them free of those terribly high heels, which pinched and dug at her feet as she danced. You'd figure she'd be used to it, they'd been at it long enough now- but she swore the stylists found new and terrible was to torment her every stage. The sound of footsteps brought her attention to the mass of people suddenly passing by- apparently someone's stage had just finished, someone rather important given the commotion, she could practically hear the crowd from there.

When you look at me

I want to protect you,

Yunseon wasn't in a terrible mood, exactly. Just not terribly thrilled either. His day hadn't been spectacular by any means. To start with, he had come back from last minute dance rehearsal at around four in the morning to find his plant dead, which was bad enough. And then Zion had left his stupid girly anime's laying around the floor (which he promptly kicked under a bed.) He then proceeded to get exactly two hours of sleep before being woken up to go to the dress rehearsal for Kiwi, followed by the actual stage. This wouldn't have been too bad, he was generally used to it - but for some reason Ciel had been in a mood, acting like a little bitch on the van ride over, and more so when they got there, and that really just made him grumpy, he would have smacked him if they weren't being followed around by staff member, he thought he saw Ezra pinch him at one point though, so that was reassuring. At least the stage was over though, he could hear Ezra telling Ciel that he fucked up, not remembering the maknae having actually done so, figuring Ezra was just getting back at him for being a huge brat earlier. He snorted, smiling slightly towards the photographers one last time as he walked off stage, hearing squealing as he left, figuring Zion must have pounced on another group member. He sighed, running a hand through his sweaty hair, yanking off the leather jacket they had stuffed him in, it felt way too hot under the bright lights of the stage, and paired with their complicated dance routine, made him feel uncomfortable. He handed the jacket to a coordi noona, following the rest of his group halfheartedly, he didn't want to go back with them, not with Ciel bitching and nobody giving a shit about it except Ezra, who looked like he was going to go sneak away to smoke anyway.

He veered off, they were done anyway, right? He needed at least a couple minutes alone. Yunseon peered into a couple dressing rooms, spotting Tygur and some new girl group Petal in one, the huge entirety of PLAY in another. He moved to another seeing QTZ along with neon pasted on the door. He knew neon was scheduled to start performing soon and probably weren't inside, and QTZ had finished, they probably weren't changing anymore. He pushed against the door, slipping inside and shutting it, sighing, glad to get Ciel's shrieky fucking voice out of his head. "He's so fucking annoying." He groaned to the door, rolling his eyes before turning, starting slightly as he saw a girl there, her long hair teased and messy, she was from QTZ. He knew, since they had been gaining stamina and their manager had ordered them to check the others out, they were incredibly hot , was mostly what he got out of his 'research.' At least they were talented too, not like some other groups he could think of off the top of his head. "Uh, annyeong." He bowed his head slightly, looking her over, moving closer "Maerin-ah, right?" He asked her, shoving his hands into the back pockets of his ripped up, studded stage jeans, thinking he probably should have changed first. Too late now. "Prettier in person." Told the other, flirting slightly. It wasn't that he did it on purpose. Okay, he did. But it just came natural, he was friendly, in one sense of the word anyway. He flirted with a lot of girls. He had to admit though, she was rather gorgeous.

yunseon! | lol ciel will love that ;] keke

everytime you snatch my mind

everytime i catch your eye,

Maerin had been in an extremely good mood for the last month and half of promotions. She had also been more exhausted and overworked than she had ever been in her life- and loved every moment of it. Before she had been about to debut, she had had a group of friends including the infamous maknae of Prestige- and his utter indifference to her and general fucking with her emotions- along with the massive manipulations employed by his hyung Zion and their other friend Mira had led Maerin and her slightly unstable self to a night that had ended with her nearly overdosing on pills, drunk off her ass, and half drowned on a beach. At that point, she had mostly given up on friends, flinging herself in to her debut- the news of which came only days later. In a very literal way, debuting had saved her life. It had given her real friends- a family even. Despite being a relatively new rookie group, only a bit out the gates, they had hit it off surprisingly quickly. One thing S.Park Ent was extremely good at was arranging the chemistry of the groups. The relentlessly upbeat and dorky Sori balanced out the quarrelsome and mischievous Sunhi, who in turn formed a team of mothering influences that made sure Maerin stayed pretty stable and kept Rubi from accidentally starving to death during her Final Fantasy binges. They got along stupidly well, despite the many pranks and petty arguments, none were the type to hold grudges, and Sori’s policy of being as true to herself on variety as possible had been largely picked up by the other members- and considering they were all just a bit 4D but largely charming, it had been going quite well, and been far less annoying perhaps than having to have dealt with bullshit personas and such.

So as Maerin sat in solitude she was in fact not seeking solitude like the Prestige vocalist, just a rest. As he slipped into the room in full stage costume- a very incredibly sexy stage costume, she had to admit, with quite attractively ripped pants and a top that highlighted his rather impressive musculature nicely. Sure, she had few good feelings towards two of his members but hey, with a face like that who on earth could say no. So when he stuck his hands into his back pockets, she mirrored the motion slightly, placing her hands palm down on the table beside her, leaning back slightly to look over at him.

"Annyeonghaseyo sunbaenim." she replied politely, with a wry half grin that somehow negated a bit of the politeness of the words. With a slow smirk she nodded at his query regarding her name. "Ahh whats this, you know my name? Big impressive Yunseon-sunbae of Prestige knows my name? I’m flattered, sunbae." Grinning again, more widely this time, she leaned forward slightly she lowered her voice before teasingly answering, "So are you. But I imagine you have plenty of fans to tell you that, eh?" And leaning back a little, half smile ever in place. " Got any helpful tips for a rookie? " She patted the table beside her, grinning. "I'm bored as hell, want to keep me company? My stage is over, and judging from the recent racket, so is yours. Mae furrowed a brow confused for a moment, adding "Come to think of it, shouldn't you be with the rest of your group or something?

Maerin~ | Yunseon says Ciel is a little girl.

When you look at me

I want to protect you,

It wasn't that he hated his group or anything, in fact, he was extremely close to them. However he sometimes felt too close. They were around each other constantly, and had been around for a while he saw them all practically every day of his life; he felt it was only natural to get sick of their stupid faces every once in a while. He huffed, he really was grumpy. He blamed Ciel, the maknae who got spoiled too much for him own good. Not that he ever did spoil Ciel, in fact, he made a big point not too. Mostly because he hates whining. And his fucking whiny voice in general. Okay, so he was incredibly grumpy and still pissed at Ciel from earlier. Oh well, not like he cared too much. He pulled awkwardly at the drapey top, knowing that the Elite probably got a couple shots of his shirt flying up while he was dancing; he still wondered how people ended up biasing him. Sure, he thought he was decent, he knew he had a nice face, but when you line them all up, Prestige in general all had nice faces, he thought it was weird when people ended up picking him to idolize, to follow him around with camera's, to send him gifts, sometimes really, really expensive gifts. Not that he was complaining. He glanced back up at the girl, giving her a very much obvious once over, glad that she, at least, got adequate stage clothes. Adequate as far as he was concerned anyway, as he got to see quite a bit of her legs. He knew he probably shouldn't be alone with the underage maknae of a very popular rookie group, it was a very, very bad thing to do; but above all else, Yunseon was a flirt, a tease and a massive player. Whenever he saw a girl the portion of his brain that told him of important things was collared and held at bay.

He grinned at her words "Of course I know it, you're my bias in QTZ." He said assuredly. It wasn't really a lie, more of something that he came up with on the spot, he had reviewed their works and he had noted that they were all hot; but he hadn't gotten obsessed enough or anything to pick a bias. Though she could have easily been it, then again, whenever he was in a room with a pretty idol, they tended to turn into his bias, it was sort of a problem he needed to work on, though he never got around to remedying it. He quirked a brow at her, snorting incredulously. "I'm pretty? Isn't that an insult?" He rolled his eyes, walking forward a few steps, spinning and swinging himself up to sit next to her, placing a hand on top of hers, pretending not to notice, not bothering to move it at all. "Advice? Hm." He looked up in contemplation, humming a bit as he thought, "less clothes, and a music video where you all get drenched and dance it white clothes." He smirked over at her, tapping his finger against hers "oh, and a ad where you all wore bikinis would be good for you as well. Y'know, to get more fans." Nodding at his own sage advice, he turned to look at her, shrugging "Maybe, I can change later, Ciel-ah is being the most god damn fucking annoying little bratty bitch on the planet right now, he won't stop complaining, or whining, or whatever the fuck he's doing, it was driving me half insane." He rolled his eyes, it was a wonder he didn't have a migraine by now, forgetting that he probably shouldn't be bad-mouthing his group mates. "What about you? You're all alone." He noted, bumping his knee against hers.

yunseon! | mae notes thatt yun is too old for her anyway

everytime you snatch my mind

everytime i catch your eye,

As he swept his gaze across her, Maerin couldn’t help but grin widely, pleased with her stylist for what was not the first time. One of her biggest fears about debuting- more of a sense of dread really- was that she would end up in the frilly, froofy sort of girl group that required her to be fully of aegyo and bubbly as all get out and cheery and whatnot. Fortunately, neither S.Park or QTPies were all that obsessed with the girls mirroring the Play and Petal image- not that it was a bad look, quite the contrary, it appealed to a lot of people. Just the quirky girls of QTZ could probably not have squished into that mold very easily at all. And yet, that didn’t stop the praise from rolling in - they’d been praised as the most talented girl group in the industry just days ago, and to be honest they were all still glowing from the praise. QTZ had worked out better than she could ever have imagined.

Mae quirked an eyebrow at his statement, grinning slightly. "I’m flattered, really." she replied, adding teasingly, “ Though to be honest, I’m feeling like you’re liable to say that to any pretty idol girl you find hanging around.” She ran a hand through her hair, still trying to adjust to the much darker coloring and the new bangs- she’d kept her hair the same way for so long beforehand that at present it was just a bit odd to be trying to deal with the change. The idea of biasing her was odd- she knew it happened, she wasn’t completely naive, but compared to her unnies she felt they were a bit more deserving of the attention. Rubi for instance, was positively as gorgeous as they came, and Sunhi? Well her skill was no joke, and Sori had often been called the most electrifying girl in Kpop for her sharp with and clever stories. Why bias the little maknae, right? Not that she was anything near insecure- she was quite confident in herself and in her abilities, just perhaps a bit modest. At his words, she laughed a little. “Insulting? Maybe. Depends how you take it I suppose.” Maerin nodded slightly, the enigmatic little grin on her face presenting something of a challenge in terms of her meaning. She tilted her head towards him, following his movements as he approached, glancing down at his hand on hers with a wry smile, making no move to shift hers away. “ You’re very forward aren’t you.” she noted with a laugh, halfway through his suggestions. “ As much as I would love to take all of this into consideration, I’m afraid this is the sort of thing you’d have to take up with Manager-oppa, I think.” She bumped her shoulder against his, with a grin. “ Shouldn’t you be more well mannered, sunbae? I might get scared and run away you know.” she pointed out teasingly, before a more closed expression slid across her face at the mention of a too familiar name.

“ Mmm, maknae woes huh?” Mae queried, running a hand through her hair again, absentmindedly. “ Sounds like you reaaaally love the kid.Why not just tell him off, get him to shut up? You’re his hyung, can’t you do that? ” Maerin shrugged slightly at his query, shifting slightly closer to him. She wasn’t a whore, make no mistake about that- but she was bored, and she was quite prone to teasing and flirting, and he was quite, quite attractive. And thus she came to the decision that she wanted to have a little fun. “ I have to stay for the interviews later with Sori-unnie, but she’s off hanging out with....I forget. Someone else. ” Mae shrugged disinterestedly. “ So I came back to my dressing room, but everyone else had left already, so I just...sat” And then she grinned widely, “ Turns out it was worth it, seeing as shortly thereafter God deposited a rather attractive vocalist in my lap.” With a teasing expression she thumped her knee back against his and added thoughtfully, “ Or rather near it, I guess.”
