TRV : THE RELATIONSHIPS OF 郎没谢
TRV RELATIONSHIPS
LEE JIWOO / MAIN DANCER, RAPPER
the more time they spent together, the fonder mei xie grew of jiwoo. she saw a lot of herself in jiwoo, if mei xie was a brighter, odder child. mei xie knew what kinds of trouble jiwoo's opinionated, bull-headed ways would bring, memories of her own conflict with her mother rushing to her mind. it was then she decided she'd protect jiwoo, that she'd try and shield her from the rest of the world that refused to tolerate a girl too wise for her own good.
POST-DEBUT
it's only natural that mei xie would dote on jiwoo the most. mei xie is jiwoo's safe haven, that warm place where she can rant on and on about whatever pissed her off during their latest broadcast judgement-free and with good food. they have great 'oldyoung' chemistry in the dorms and on shows. they're able to have mini cyphers and freestyle session, feeding off of each other's vibes. mei xie has introduced jiwoo to her grandmother, has taken her inside the family restaurant, lee jiwoo is, essentially, mei xie's daughter. mei xie looks at jiwoo with incredibly proud eyes, nudging the celebrity next to her and saying "that's my child".
but as mei xie expected, jiwoo's strong opinions earn backlash. backlash that she, as the leader, has to take on. mei xie hears indignant comments from show hosts, why don't you have your members in better check? don't tell me you can't control what a dumb seventeen year old says. it's hard. she has to choose between the group's image and what she believes in. in the beginning, she supports jiwoo wholeheartedly, shooting down all rude comments from netizens and show hosts. jiwoo is her baby, after all. but after more and more scoldings from the manager and bang pd, mei xie has to start trying to silence her, has to start bowing their heads and apologizing.
she tries so hard to let jiwoo know that she agrees with what the girl says. she tries so hard to instill in her that her opinion is important and that girls like her are incredibly powerful and needed in the world.
KANG SEOHWA / LEAD VOCALIST, LEAD DANCER
after mei xie's hiatus, mei xie switched focus from singing to rapping. it was all she could do with her vocal cords injured as they were. she had to try and learn how to dance all over again, had to teach her body the art of fluidity. mei xie would stay in the practice room until the wee hours of dawn, watching they way she danced in the mirror. sometimes, she would cry and one time, seohwa saw her. mei xie-unnie? seohwa wanted to ask if she was alright, even though mei xie probably wouldn't tell her. instead, seohwa told her that her dance moves were pretty good. mei xie knew it was a lie, but she felt happy nonetheless.
POST-DEBUT
the kitchen of trv's dorm is a mess. the clattering of pans can be heard from the bathroom. mei xie and seohwa are fighting over who gets to cook. stuck in the middle are yeoreum and tsuta, forced to witness the name calling, the threatening, the angry whisking. they bring out each other's competetive sides, though it's something much more lighthearted than the slow burn of competition that consumes tsuta. they'll openly diss each other, nothing too serious, just superficial things like cooking or living habits. mei xie likes sass seohwa has.
mei xie, the ever observant team mom, notices how tough seohwa is on herself. she can sometimes hear sobs coming from the closet. she can see the look of pain on seohwa's face when reading negative comments. the first time it happens, a panic attack, mei xie is at a loss as to what to do. she asks her grandma, takes to the internet. aduring subsequent attacks mei xie searches for her, finds her, tells seohwa to get out of the closet. she starts up the oven, digging for something to make in the fridge. she places a cold glass of water in front of seohwa, "breathe" she says. mei xie doesn't expect seohwa to want to talk about what's bothering her, "you're safe here" xie tells her. she makes seohwa list five things she can see, five things she can smell, five things she can hear, mei xie grounds her in the present moment. mei xie wishes she wasn't so hard on herself, but there's not much she can do about that except point out the amazing things she does.
even though kang seohwa believes that no one will look after someone when they have their own problems, lang mei xie seems to be actively proving her wrong.
the two are v similar, karmically. scorpio + aquarius are soulmate pairings. seohwa can always relate to mei xie on some level, because there's something reflected in the older woman that is familiar and like home. mei xie is able to express her feelings with seohwa without things feeling awkward, as she's one of the most mature members of the group and genuinely tries to also help mei xie out. they both like being in control, though in regards to different things. mei xie likes being in control of everything while seohwa likes being in control of herself with a strong sense of independence. so, even though it takes a bit to realize, mei xie does not mother seohwa nor does she cry with seohwa. instead, mei xie empathizes and offers advice and insight which is far more helpful towards seohwa.
LANG MEI XIE / LEADER, MAIN RAPPER
after her accident, she became lost. she dug a well and poured all of her tears in there. she felt weak, exposed, like she couldn't walk on her own. once looking into mirrors and primping, lang mei xie now looked into mirrors and wanted to break them for she had crumbled like the dead leaves in autumn. she was pathetic, scarred. the girls who didn't stand a chance against her surpassed her on all levels. and then she met the sun. jung hoseok, slowly and surely, helped mei xie find who she was again.
POST-DEBUT
she has to force herself to reach out to them, her future members. for the most part, she doesn't. with the exception of lee jiwoo who clung to her and seohwa whom she had already deemed a good person. then she's told she would be the leader and she has to force herself to reach out to them. it's something that pays off in the end, but it's hard. she feels like she has to be strong for them, because she has six other girls depending on her for support and guidance. it wears her down, seohwa's panic attacks, jiwoo's opinions, tsuta's scandal. she can't help them enough, she can't magically take away their problems, they're suffering because of her incompetence. she feels weak and once again she hates herself, but she can't let them see that.
MATSUMOTO TSUTA / VOCALIST, DANCER
POST-DEBUT
there's no doubting that tsuta is closest to mei xie. mei xie is someone tsuta can share her deepest thoughts and visions with, someone who will listen quietly and contemplate the universe with her. mei xie is dominant and makes tsuta's decisions for her, but thankfully, she knows tsuta well enough to make the right decisions. mei xie helps tsuta write lyrics, assistance tsuta greatly appreciates because she finds mei xie's way with words and rhythm to be something magical. even though matsumoto tsuta is everyone's boyfriend, she's lang mei xie's boyfriend especially.

go yeoreum is still a mystery to mei xie and maybe that's all she'll ever be, but mei xie still cares for her, is always there to listen if she has anything to say. with yeoreum, mei xie is much less hands-on than she is with the other members and to be honest, she finds it refreshing.

haneul is one of the only people, besides tsuta, who is able to tell what a toll watching over all of them takes on mei xie. and maybe that's why she insists on being so independent around trv's leader. mei xie's only issue with haneul is that she wished the girl would open up more. mei xie worries about her because she never wants to burden anyone with her problems. mei xie has a hard time convincing her that it's not burdensome when haneul can tell that watching over everyone wears mei xie out.
