Chapter 16: I AM NOT OKAY SEND HELP

Chapter 15: Aight let's do this, I promised you a last stream of conciousness and one you will get. Also I wasn't able to scream about the fact that you included Myunghwan but YOU INCLUDED MYUNGHWAN AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

I love the fact that Jinyi downing coffee has been a constant for these 8 episodes. Oooh coffee mystery! Who made the mystery coffee? Jinyi's bromance with Hanhae points the finger to him, but that wouldn't be very surprising now would it? Hmmm. Hadon finally shaping up? He'd be the most surprising I think. But Woojin would be surprising to those who don't know him.

Omg this newfound JinSoo friendship is everything I didn't know I needed! Oh man the team has grown so much, they're actually a team now //wipes tear. I'm so proud of these babies ;A;

Aaah I thought it might be Woojin! HOLD UP. WOOJIN MADE A FRIEND. Well more like a friend was upon him but I'M COUNTING IT. Oh man I feel like Woojin got noticed by the most popular guy in class xD AW HADON AND FEELINGS. Oh no the fact that this is the end just hit me like a brick wall. Of course Hanhae is the best at body rolls oh my god I love that guy. "Sure I was blessed with this face" it's lines like that that make me love him omg. You teach that kid how to be y Hanhae.... well you tried.

"I am one with the youth" and lines like this is why I love Hadon. NOT JINYI'S PINK HAIR. I see it now, the Great Korean Bakeoff directed by Jungwoon starrng Jinyi as judge. AW Gikwang having fun ;A; Oh man this chapter is just filled with great lines and exchanges. DANI THIS IS MAKING ME SAD. Okay. Okay. The pink stayed. Phew. Aw Myunghwa honey and her sptretch marks ;A; HANINI. "I do declare that you are one y lady" AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE JINYI. Myunghwa you have been lesbian approved.

I have actually never listened to the Legend before, I only know it as the group with Kyungtaek's face xD It's a good song though they did good! And using nugus for them is actually really fitting since nugus often miss that bit of polish that other groups have. I will be adding this song to my music library yes. Aaaw GROUP HUGS I CANNOT HANDLE.

NEXT. Ah I get the y performance comments now that was definitely something xD Oh man I'll miss these guys too SO MUCH. I will give you some feedback/critique at some point when thesis stops looming, but it will be done! We've been through so much with these heads I look forward to the afterword and what happened to them!

Chapter 14: UGH I am so late with this comment! I sincerely apologize for not commenting earlier and for not commenting at all recently. Let's just say that personal life hasn't been the most forgiving the past few weeks. But anyways, let's get on with it.

So I read this chapter Sunday morning at like 1:00 and I was close to dying because this chapter was the best and I was trying so hard not to laugh too loud XD But SOMI! She's such a cutie, and to tell you the truth, I personally did not like her at first glance, but I've been starting to like her a lot more now that I've been giving her a chance.

Jisoo is actually attempting to dance in heels? So shocking! XD And "I'm basically the lead vocal now" haha keep boosting you ego Jisoo. Awww poor Giri, actually missing Jinyoo and Myunghwa taking on the leadership role. If she doesn't get the leader role, I will be really really mad.

Akihiro, dude, you need to lighten up a bit more. Stop being so serious and at least attempt to do a body roll! Haha he's the best. I'm betting Jisoo is so relieved right now. Actual high heels that have a stable heel instead of those ridiculous stiletto heels. At least she'll feel more attached to the ground now!

Yes! Improv again! The girls did such a good job. OMG! Jisoo had me completely dying with her acting skills! "Oppa! Annyeong Oppa I'm your biggest fan!" had me dying and her next few sentences had me sold! Jinyi has the best ideas and along with Jisoo, they would make a really good variety duo together. I want Jisoo to go in to acting now. She's golden! Awww, I wanted to see the guys try to improv. I wanted to see Akihiro and Woojin make fools of themselves (not like that would ever happen)

Such a cute fanmeeting. Hanhae and Jinyi make a good flirty duo, of course that's what Korean fans want to see on tv and they sell it really well. Oh and Jisoo's line "Hadon even managed it on his own!" is great and Hadon silently rolling his eyes.
(1/2)

Chapter 13: You know when a chapter is called scandals that this is going to be good. Oh and also //whispers: shay y p.

Huh I guess Hanhae is a bit like Myunghwan isn't he? Aka a handfull xD Oh my god those flirt lines I am cringing what is life. Oh he has a blog! Interesting. I've always found it odd that modern dance is called modern dance, how long does it stay modern? What if it becomes oldfashioned? Will it be oldfashioned dance? Is it post-modern dance already??? Things that keep me up at night.

Oooh Woojin and Jinyoo, that's a pairup I did not anticipate but is very interesting. But yeah they're team quiet I don't forsee long discussions xD WOAH WOOJIN BIT BACK I AM SO PROUD OF MY CHILD. That was such a bull thing of Akihiro to say, I mean in character but son get off your high horse. I mean don't because conflict but also ugh I do not like you. But also thank you show for taking pity on my child. WOAH HANHAE. WERK IT. "Hwanhee pauses the music in the middle of Hadon dabbing" is a perfect sentence that should be framed. Aaaw Myung is coming out of her rigid controlling shell I am such a proud mom right now MY CHILDREN ARE DEVELOPING //wipes away tear.

You're also making me so curious about the songs they're doing!

Oh Akihiro. Now you jynxed it.

Oh man I do love how WOOJIN COMING FOR YOUR POSITIONS is now a thing, though clearly Hanhae is coming this time. WOAH MAIN VOCAL. Did not see that coming. WOOJIN CAME FOR THAT POSITION. Saaame Hadon. SAME. I'm surprised Woojin kept the lead dance position, but not that Hanhae got bumped up. Good for you flirty manchild, you earned it. Nobody got downgraded, this is all very positive. I don't trust it.

Now as for the ladies. Aw Giri! You go Giri! HOLY YOU GO JINYI. Aaand here comes the downgrades. That's not going to bode well for the JinSoo conflict. Oh geez Myunghwa you tried.

JO

KWON.

MY LOVE.

DANI YOU CAN'T JUST SPRING JO KWON AT ME. YOU HAVE TO WARN ME OH MY GOD.

Oooh I don't know much about Ivy but the way you've described her she's already a woman after my own heart.

"You'll state something about yourself that you think no one else in the group can relate to." Oh the dramatic irony. Oh how it hurts me. Also IVY TAKING NO PRISONERS. "with a face this ethereal it was an easy mistake but still." Have I mentioned that I love this guy yet because oh my god. Okay but don't make me laugh and cry in the same breath oh my god Dani you have too much power. My child. The contrast between the liberal Hanhae and the, well, conservative Woojin is an interesting one though. I wonder how much Hanhae could mean for Woojin if seeds of friendship were planted, and if Woojin would be comfortable enough to let it. Hmmm. I hadn't pondered these two together much yet before now, Hanhae was always more laughs and dabs, but that contrast tho. Woojin my child, I'm not kidding every single time he's mentioned my heart hurts. Why did I make Woojin Dani? Why did I aim to hurt us? Aaaw Jinyoo getting positive attention for her KSL ;A;

Leave to Jo Kwon to bring peace and sunshine where he goes okay. I am not biased at all. Not at all. Take your baseless accusations elsewhere!

Ah of course Jinyi is the master of redirection, I imagine she's had quite the bit of practice. Of course the rivalry with Jisoo is friendly. Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? Also not surprised to see Hanhae thriving here. Oh no personal but also /oh yes personal/.

"We'll be starting by reading you a few comments made by netizens."

Now everyone looks terrified.

Wise response.

OH NO JINYOO. I can handle anyone being shat on but NOt JINYOO. Would fight for this turtle! Oh no. Oh no these scenarios. This cannot go well. I am getting the anxieties this cannot go well. Edge of seat is my state of being. Also what comment was that Woojin? WOOJIN. D A N I W H Y.

Okay. Okay I'm not ready but bring it on anyway.

OMG JINYI. Did not handle well is an understatemen omg my love. This didnt hurt yet. Luring us into a false sense of security are we Dani? I know the game. I've played this game damnit. Oh no there's nothing sadder than leaving someone hanging.

JINYOO. JINYOO NO.

I'm curious about everyone's scenarions, what they chinks they found and how they dealt with them, but I also understand why you didn't show them. Oh a Gold guy! I wonder who it'll be! Oh man I miss those idiots <3 Either way this was a really good chapter, as you could probably tell by my overemotional rambling, oh man I was on the edge of my seat through most of it! Thank you <3

Chapter 11: Ohh this episode hurt my soul. It really did. It made me actually angry. I mean...I get the whole give them a external enemy to focus on. Get them to rally together and be a unified front. I get it. But I do not condone these kinds of tactics. Had the girls not been able to rally, Taeyeon's actions would probably have just destroyed them, and they very well would have left the show. And then JTBC would be screwed. XD (this is not a commentary on your writing btw: it's lovely. But these are things I see in reality shows too, like biggest loser and such, and they piss me off just as much XD). Fortunately, this did not happen. I don't recall reading this if the girls ever stood up for themselves more, or if they developed some understanding and respect for Taeyeon during this episode. Hmm...but regardless, it's great that they could get around their differences to help each other. I hope this momentum keeps going, and hopefully this will mean the girls will continue to grow some bonds that will see them through the show. /crosses fingers/ The highlight was Giri feeling like she could rely on the others. I'm glad they could rally around her, and taking care of her like a real group. And Im equally glad she found some strength in herself for this. She's going to need it.

The boys...well this was interesting. It wasn't infighting the boyd had to deal with. It was control. And I feel that Leeteuk handled it well...granted, I don't like the tactics much more than Taeyeons, but at the end there was some genuine concern and understanding. Also, the insight into Woojin though. That fracture that is forming. WOOJINNIE. I was wondering about all of this lead this, lead that, add this, add that, and how it would be affecting him. The plot thickens Dani. It thickens so much. But you needed that little bit of break there to keep this groups development going. And I approve, and look so forward to seeing what happens. (I noticed Jinyi is also still getting vocal lessons too...Dani...what are you plotting.../sideyes you cautiously/

But this chapter is fantastic. It got a real reaction out of me, and it showed some wonderful development of these characters. Me gusta.

Chapter 10: Okay, this one is going to be more of a commentary on what happened than a long comment on each event.

This chapter really showed the beginning of the boiling point being reached: at least for the girls. For the boys, there's enough flippants, devil may care, and optimism to keep them from going to crazy at their mistakes just yet. And poor S.Coups. That has to be frustrating for him since they are willful and can sorta of bully their way. They even bullied Rain into dabbing with them lol. Hadon, Hanhae, and Eunchan are really forces of nature in the group. Woojin is more of the silent pillar. And poor Hiro has to be the adult. Lol. But congrats to the leads! Even if they are reluctant. XDD Yes Hanhae...they just gave you lead because what else are you going to do...but the last vhapter showed he may have what it takes to be center, and that is very important in the group. There is some bristling with the boys, but dayuuum, not to the extent of the girls.

That boiling point of the Ji-Ji fighting. Wow. You hinted at it a lot in the last chapter, and here is the result. Jisoo...sweetie, be careful. You may be here to train, but alienating others won't do you any good. I'm glad Giri does like her. And Giri...sweet, sweet child. This is going to be a rough ride for you for certain. And I do appreciate that you show Jinyi is just as wrong in her fight with Jisoo too. Sure, she tries to care a bit and Jisoo may have taken it the wrong way, but Jinyi definitely is not as patient as the other ladies to respond accordingly. So many boiling over emotions culminating in Myunghwa just crying. Sigh. These girls are a mess. It almost feels like you need to get these groups together as a co-ed group soon. They seem very unbalanced in some ways. Its like...too much of one personality type on one side and it overpowers the others so they're not as complete. But it does present an intetesting dynamic, and I am still enjoying the ride immensely.

Poor mentors. XD Again though, they may not fully realize these are people off the street. Of COURSE they'll be difficult and tiring to work with. Plus you're accelarating this training. They literally have no time to adjust. Aigooo...I know the next chapter hurts my soul too. But that comment comes later! I WILL CATCH UP WITH THESE!!

Chapter 9: Oh lordy we have dance lessons now XD. And I love how you've been writing Jinyi. That "coffee" over and over again...I feel this so much. X3 Poor Giri: no one should have to suffer sleeping in the same bed as Jinyi. You poor, poor soul...
Is Jinyoo about to use sign language? Is that why her hands fluttered before she could speak? Hmm...and Jisoo...you're feels are showing. Silly child lol. But yes Hadon. 30 minutes. Some girls take hours (some guys too!). Tsk, tsk, Hanhae. I see you there flirting with Jinyi. But I love it. And Hiro don't be such a sourpuss. They're young and having fun. No sense in making your entire exprience here on the show miserable if you can get a little bit of levity in.
Ahhh, the broship continues. One of my favorite things to read here. X3 I get the feeling if Hiro is team dad, Myungwa sorta fits team mom.
The beginning of the Ji-Ji headbutting begins!! Don't be too insulted Jisoo! Jinyi is older than you and has adulting to worry about! Onwards to glory Jinyi!! lol. She would be the one who just throws open a door. Oooh. Minji. Certainly the girl is known for her dancing. This will be interesting. And I can feel Minzy on this. There were certainly some good dancers in the tryouts. It is nice to see Jisoo so excited for dancing. She has that youthful energy the others, while not lacking, don't always showcase. But I get it. With that energy comes that cockiness, and Jinyi ain't having yo child. /keeps watching the Ji-Ji battle warm up/

And then we also have bouncy energy pill Eunchan. These two bring such good energy to this. IT'S RAIN!!!...Ing. It's raining~ /bricked/ Ahem. Rain was one of the originals known for his dancing. Another good choice. Also if he could somehow impart his charisma to these boys, dayuuuum.

WOOJIN COMING IN. This child. Can he not do something? I mean...really. Woojin is my hero. Truly. And he's so cool about it too~ /kattiisawoojinfansorrynotsorry/ But this lead thing is really turning up the competition. Interesting insight on how much infighting there could be. I mean...its obvious when there's a main dancer, but the lead is just sometimes the one who least. XD

Yass Hadon. Call out the fangirl Jisoo. XD That smirk though...girl, Jisoo watch yourself. I like your smugness, but be careful. This could burn you later. That realization of Myunghwa...oh no. That must hurt her soul so much to realize this. It sorta makes sense that Jinyoo and Myunghwa would get along, or at least gravitate more to each other. They're both vocalists and even if not friends, are older and "wiser" in some ways.
...awww...Hiro...;; so sweet...doing this for his wife /coughiknowsomeoneontheshowwhocouldprobablyempathizewiththatsentimentsenor/

"Apparently the kid hasn't burned anything down yet, which I admit is impressive." She laughs lightly as the scene switches yet again."...this is so very Jinyi. I still love how you are writing her here. X3 I love this interaction of the ladies though. Shows some of the group dynamics very well. You go Jinyi. Get them rappers in line!! lol.

This contrast of skill versus stage presense is so true though. You can forgive a less skilled performance if its enteratining and earnest.

I like how you're showing the improvement and development, as well as understanding with these characters. The moments where they realize the hard work that is needed, and that its not what it seems. And then discovering things about each other. Ie: The broship are great fun, Jinyi actually knows things, Myunghwa;s willingsness to help, etc. It's all a delight to read in the midst of the training and interactions. You're subtley teaching us about these characters. Me gusta. (and the dabbing...XDD)

The positions...Jisoo was obvious. Jinyi...that's hilarious. XDD Good luck my child!! XDD
WOOJIN SWOOPING IN! XDD I find it funny the maknaes are the dancers. How did that just happen to work out? (or was this purposeful...hmm...)

Chapter 8: EP 2 LEGGO – I lost the first one I did...I had like...fpur chapter commentaries done. T^T THIS TIME I SAVED ON SEPARATE WORD DOC! TAKE THAT INTERNET OUTTAGE!!! Anyhoo, I'l lbe aiming to finish one chapter a day and by the next update I SHOULD be caught up!!...note the word "SHOULD". Siiiigh....

Ooooh. Room arrangments. Always a good time.Ahhh, the first "friendship" beings: The Double H broship. And the Jinyi/Jisoo antagonism also begins. It's a different feeling rereading these chapters to comment after knowing what happens in the future. This should prove to be an interesting. And yes, there;s team dad Akihiro emerging already. Wow, seriously though, these little things you don;t realize until rereading. Oh Eunchan...Eunchan are you doing the whole "pull the girl's pigtails" thing? Enjoying the debate? This child I sweat. X3

ENTER SUZY. Oh, Hi L. XDD

Yess Suzy. Behold the glory that is the pink hair of Jinyi!! XD But aww, L is being a least a little considerate. I mean, you did just throw a bunch of strangers ina room and expected them to work these things out. I feel for these girls...I do. Workouts are the worst. Especially ones you are obligated to do as opposed to doing it for your own benefits/fun. Jinyi is me...except after only 30 minutes. XD
The Double H Broship conitnues@ Poor Eunchan. It's tough being the maknae child. Hanhae...it's caleld "sharing a bed", not a cuddling thing. XD All of these chars play well off each other so far which is enjoyable to read.

...THESE MACHINES ARE A LIE!!! /katti may or may not have had to use one of these at a gym and is now having traumatic flashbacks of the horror of her readings/ DX

I agree so much with Jinyoo. Losing that much wait, "safe" or not, can;t be easy or good for you in the short time they have. Also, these folks are in different age and physical fitness levels. You would need to truly tailor the regime to each one (frankly, it's doubtful they will DX). Nd I see you there Dani. The girls are UNDER 40 percent....but the giys can get away with being more muscles and bigger. Sigh...double standards you s.

Hahaha, yes, be jealous of Woojin boys. Because he's not only gonna outdo you all for fitness...hegonnacomeforallyourpositionsspoilers!!! I like Ahreum. That's a perfect way to get someone into the routine: distract them with something they are passionate about. And it;s nice to hear Jinyoo talk about her work. It really is a commendable thing.

"How do people do this without stabbing their eyes out?" Hadon groans as he attempts to shakily apply eyeliner. Pahahaha. Practice child. Practice. Just don't get mascara in your eye if ypu're wearing contacts. /katti has more flashbacks of that one time and how she refused mascara for months after that...shudder/ Hadon speaking truths already. Why indeed would anyone want to become an idol? A lesson I'm sure you and the others will learn by the end.
WOOJIN SWOOPING IN TO TAKE YOUR MAKEUP SKILLS. XD And Hanhae's reason is legit. Shameless, but legit.

...
Sigh. Working on "delicacy"...that just.../katti vomits at the concept/. But it's a real thing. The standards the females are held at are vastly different from the men based on the gender specific roles and stereotypes. It's sad really. But that's how society is still. Anyhoo...alas.

But legit. Ballroom dancing is an art. It is so hard to do it well. Counting, movement, precise movements, aghhhhh. But when done well, it's so beautiful to watch~ And I appreciate you showing that even the dancer is having issues with this. Shows that just because you can dance one way, doesn't mean you can dance every way.

I see your foreshadowing. I see you in the form of Bae Suji. /cackles and rubs her hands together

Chapter 12: //whispers: Shay Y P.

Ah yes. Female idol fashion. Not for the prudes amongst us. Oh man I will never get sick of smooth Hanhae and teasing Jinyi xD Best broship of the show so far. Oh man yeah those dresses are short wow. It was a messy performance but it was cute, which is perfect for their level. Certainly not good in any way, but also not a total disaster xD Aaaw Myunghwa!

Aaah B1A4! Woojin coming for all your positions makes sense now since CNU is annoyingly decent at everything xD And Sandeul (main vocal) looks so awkward too hanini. You sing great sweet thing but dance great is another matter entirely. Though I think my favourite part of the performance is the stage hands running on the main stage while they're in the little circle xD Aaw my other child did good too <3 And Hanhae SON. Stay in your lane omg.

YOOK SUNGJAE. HANI. I mean. I'm okay. I'm not okay. HOW DARE YOU TARGET MY WEAKNESSES. Of course Hanhae knows BtoB. I knew I liked you for a reason Hanhae. You have good taste. Hah Woojin you had better appreciate them you sing like one fo them xD

Oooh original songs huh? Very interesting. Jinyi: same tho. Hani is amazing. Also "yes, and" is never going to sound the same again. Oooh I've played Freeze before it's fun! Ah Woojin, my child, your theatre hipster is showing xD

Hanhae, son, you're walking a tightrope here. Oh I've played Hitchiker before too! Why is that so exciting? xD You're making me miss my high school acting class. Aaaaw seeing Giri let loose is so heartwarming omg honey. Improv has a way of loosening people up as long as they're open to it. Jinyi, Jinyi babe. Same. Same tho. S A M E. Oh no Jinyoo. Jinyoo sweet thing ;A; ...... I SEE THAT MENTION OF MYUNGHWAN. He IS gold. Little of my heart okay. BUT JINYOO CHILD. And Woojin child. Muted child. You still hurt me and give me a heart attack every time you're mentioned. SO MANY FEELINGS.

I can see why this chapter was hard for you to write. It had a lot of things that are irregular, acting exercized require you to improv for everyone else and it's not something that's come up in your other fics before. It'd be hard for me to write too. But you made it through and it was an excellent chapter, one subtly exploring many an character while the humour takes center stage and covers it up. Obvious things like Jinyoo's struggles, but also less obvious things like Woojin's conspicuous struggles with improv despite being an actor, Giri's slow loosening up and coming into her own, and Hanhae's stubborn sticking to his own guns with little regard for the consequences. Interesting things happening in the background and I ever look forward to more <3
