↷ battle of the bands ; in progress.

Description

summary

while attending a cnblue concert, two best friends with a passion and slight talent for music watch on in awe. on the way home, they suddenly come up with an idea to start up an all-girls band of their own with the goal of becoming the female version of cnblue.
 
as the two were always only friends with each other and had no one to ask to join them, they decided to hold auditions to find the remaining members. then, the only problems left would be deciding a name for the group, finding the perfect songs to sing, and the upcoming battle of the bands.

that is until they come face-to-face with their self-proclaimed rival who just so happens to be seoul's favourite all-guys band. the music scene has been keeping tabs on the emergence of the new girl band and with the rumors of them supposedly having the talent to take the rival band's yearly title as the 'battle of the bands' winner, they had to see for themselves just who this group was.

upon the first meeting, tension rises and sparks fly as the girls want to beat them with all their might. however, the other band has been in the music circle for much longer than they have and have just as much talent as the girls do, if not more. at first, it's just a competition of who's the better band but eventually feelings get dragged in and suddenly there's more at stake than there ever was before.

all that's left to ask is: who will come out on top at the annual battle of the bands and will they be without scars?

Foreword

cassidy speaks

oh god. yes, another apply fic from me! it's like an addiction, these apply fics. but can you blame me?! i can't help that i'm always brainstorming ideas and this one stemmed from me wanting to use yonghwa as a love interest, lmao. don't judge me okay?! he was (and still is) my first ultimate bias... /dreamy sigh~

anyways, this my new idea and i'm really excited about it! i don't really know how battle of the bands work and all that stuff but whatever, i'll figure it out or make it up as i go along since this is all fiction to begin with. and as far as i know, i'll probably be working on this solo! unless someone really wants to help with it, then pm me. o u o

to finish this off, please comment if you plan on applying or are thinking of doing so. i would greatly appreciate it & please enjoy my story! ♥

mmmmmm yonghwa is a juicy man i am going to ship him with jihye so hard i can already tell

wait--yuna like
code-two yuna?
omfg she ran into jonghyun I LOVE YUNA??? she sounds so spacey lmao

i actually thought sujeong was going to be jonghyun's love interest but i guess it's yuna? is there gonna be some rivalry bc that would be hilarious

poor jihye is so awk over the situation ;; at least she seems to have made it through without incident lol
i mean, aside from yonghwa singling her out and obviously wanting a piece of dat ifunowutimean

tbh jihye and sujeong are so adorable like i'm literally just sitting here with imaginary anime flowers and a pink backdrop surrounding me
and like screaming because THE INTERACTION WITH YONGHWA AND MINHYUK IS MAKING ME SMILE LIKE A DOOFUS?
+the length of the chapter just makes me cry in happiness because it's not like a measly 500 words like i expect with apply stories
im just wrapped in a roll of good feelings ok you do you and no one else.

Chapter 10: omg! I'm actually on time with a comment for once, heheheh
after reading your author's note, I really admire and appreciate that you're going to continue this fic, even though apparently like half the applicants have vanished :\
anddd I still appreciate so much that you chose Jini <3 especially because I had the character idea in my head for months and was going to write my own original fic with it, but when I saw BotB I decided to go out on a limb and apply using her instead, lol
(wow I feel bad bc I just looked at my app and I was a five activity level back then and I'm like a one now I'm SO SORRY ;;)

anywayzzz onto the actual chapter content!
I totally called you picking Seul, lol! and I am pleased because Kyungsoo will be her love interest, right? I freaking love that little bundle of sunshine ;;
I love Sujeong and Jihye's chemistry, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the girls interact with them!

thank you for updating <3
