🔴 ITZY is Live !
━━━━━━━━━━━━
The bright JYP practice room appears empty, not a single sound to be heard. No one entering the live can see the four bodies huddled together out of frame, all peering over Ryujin's shoulder at the comments rolling in.
There's a feint whisper, the voice unrecognizable to viewers, until all of a sudden, 'Heartbeat' by 2PM begins to play through the practice room speakers. With their heads buried deep into their hoods, the four friends casually walk out, as if they weren't making the fans go crazy by appearing together.
And saying nothing, they bust out into the choreography as if it were their own, as if they were the 2PM members themselves performing on stage.
Taking the iconic acrobatic ending, Felix's hood falls off, his blonde bangs ruffling his eyelashes as he does a perfect backflip, before grabbing at his chest over his hoodie, his knees buckling before giving in entirely, his body falling to the hardwood with a thud.
The song ends, and labored breaths now fill the entire space.
Otherwise however, there's silence.
"Someone give bro an Oscar !"
Blake's voice echoes out, applauds ringing in the air as Felix starts to chuckle from his rather comfortable spot on the floor. Ryujin and Blake enter the frame, plopping themselves down on the ground to wave at the camera, Felix turning over on his stomach to drag his tired body closer.
"Helloo Stay and Midzy," the freckled blonde waves, his chin resting on his hands on the cool floor. "It's Stray Kids's Felix."
"Itzy Ryujin." pushing the hair from her forehead, Ryujin throws up a piece sign in greeting.
"Blakely Kim here !" wiggling her fingers in a kind of wave, Blake pushes her sleeves up towards her elbows, her eyes breaking away from the comments to another blonde, his hands jugglimg four cups of water as he carefully makes his way over.
"Need some help ?"
Shaking his head, Hyunjin makes it to his spot beside a still laying down Felix, sitting down without spilling a single drop. Handing it out, he gulps down half of his cup before waving at the camera.
"Hyunjin of Stray Kids, hi hi."
With her water finished, Blake grips the paper cup between her teeth as she plays with it, Felix reading throught the comments.
bokkari_lover: a free concert ?
kjy: main dancer things !!!
boop: RYUJIN AND HYUNJIN IN ONE FRAME !?
Felix chuckles. "It's crazy how people get shocked when they see us together."
"As if we aren't in the same company, around the same age, and trained together." Ryujin hums in agreement, beginning to remove her hoodie from her warm body.
Hyunjin huffs suddenly, scratching the back of his neck. "That dance was oddly harder than I expected it to be ? Or is it just me."
"I don't think it's difficult per say," Blake leans back on her hands as she looks at the taller blonde. "I think it's because we put so much effort into it."
Felix hums, his head nodding from it's resting spot on his hands. "I sure felt like I was them."
"Oh yeah, I thought I saw Junho sunbaenim for a second there." Ryujin's thoughtful expression makes everyone laugh.
Blake's hands reach around her wrists, feeling around before she looks down at them in confusion. "Did I lose my hair tie ?" she looks around the floor, but the little black elastic thing is no where in sight. She then looks to her fellow member, but only receives a headshake in response.
"I love you, but I can't stand the feeling of my hair sticking to my neck right now."
Giving a narrow-eyed gaze, she searches her other two friends with a questioning gaze. Sh doesn't have to wait long until Hyunjin pulls one from his pocket and tosses it to her. Flashing a bright smile in thanks, Blake pulls her long orange hair back into a ponytail.
gigilee: given how this started, 2pm biases ???
Everyone knows to skip over questions like that in fear an answer would cause some sort of scandal that someone would have a blast to create, but apparently one of the four didn't get the memo.
"Jun.K, he's totally my style."
As if a ghost had wailed suddenly in the practice room, three heads whip to the side to eye Blake, their blinks slow and their jaws slack as they stare at her.
The culprit is confused for a moment as to why they were just silently judging her, until it visibly dawns on her face. She hadn't meant it in any other way then genuinely just being a fan of 2PM's Jun.K, just like any other fan. Of course, in the moment, she hadn't realised she was too an idol, and it wasn't recommended that idols choose biases in other kpop groups, especially when they're so early into their career and are of opposite genders.
In reality Jun.K is no more than a good friend and colleague, but haters will find anything to label their platonic relationship otherwise. That, or they'll just say something like Blake is hating on the other members.
"Which dance should we do next ?"
Hyunjin slides in, the three deciding as if nothing had happened as to not shine attention on it.
"Let's do a Stray Kids one." Ryujin suggests, subtly placing her hand on the small of Blake's back to stop the now quiet girl from worrying too much. The soft pats she delivers make the orange haired girl release a soft breath.
"Which ones do you guys know ?"
Blake and Ryujin look at each other in thought, silently the choreos they know run through their heads.
"We just recently learnt Back Door." Ryujin muses, searching for confirmation in Blake's gaze.
The latter lights up. "Ooh ! Yeah let's do Back Door."
Agreeing, they stand to take position as Hyunjin prepares the song.
"Afterwards we can do Dalla Dalla."
At Blake's words, Felix and Hyunjin share a silent look, having no idea how to tell her they didn't know the choreo to their friend's debut song.
