Showtime
This is really happening for all of them, she could smell the nerves in the air, all the girls were nervous who wouldn’t be?! It was the first performance on live broadcast, did they rehearse enough?? There was plenty what ifs filled in her own mind, what if they make a mistakes or look at the wrong camera? So many evaluations prepared for this moment but is it enough? Jiyeon didn’t want to show the other girls her nerves otherwise everyone end up spiralling down with her. She had to remain like she had everything under control even practicing the choreography on the occasion asking from pointers from more dance inclined group members.
The moment she saw Luda approached her, she look at her with a soft gaze as she knew exactly how she is feeling. “It’s okay, it is natural to be nervous, if you wasn’t nervous then something would be wrong with you~” she joked lightly, smiling at the younger fixing the other hair for them so they were would be perfect picture for the camera during the live broadcast. Jiyeon took a deep breath trying to keep herself calm, bless the power of meditation in times like this.
The older held onto her friend arm, holding it tightly when they were linked together to reassure her but also herself that everything would be okay. She got her girls so there is nothing they can overcome together, the surprise thank you did catch her off guard. There is could be many reasons for it but she couldn’t pin point why she thanked her. “No need to thank me, we always got each other ok?? I’m lucky enough to be sharing a stage with you especially your voice. Who knew, that shy librarian would be taking the stage alongside me in this moment. I bet your younger you probably think this was never possible, we have come far and we go even further. As long we got each other, there is nothing we can do. Let’s make HEARTZ 1/3 name to remember ok?” she said with a determined smile despite her worries she was on mission and she will not fail this no matter what.
Jiyeon’s words were instantly calming, even just standing next to her was.
“You’re right, thank you,” Luda answered, forcing her tensed shoulders down in an attempt to trick her mind into calming down, at least a little bit. Hopefully their debut stage would be more successful than this. “Thank you,” she repeated as Jiyeon fixed her hair. “You’re looking gorgeous, this concept suits you really well,” she commented, smiling.
Linking arms really did wonders in helping her nerves, though and Luda was glad that the other didn’t seem to mind. As the emotional roller-coaster that the day promised to be, now Jiyeon’s words almost made her cry. Since it was a happy day and she didn’t want to ruin the already done make-up, she did her best to blink the tears away, but the memory of how long they’d already known each other was touching, still.
“We do! And definitely not! I’m really glad you caught me singing in the library back then, I think I wouldn’t have given the mgas or becoming an idol a chance otherwise,” she grinned, doing her best to push getting emotional until later, after their stage. “You’re right, the road only leads forward now and we’ll do our absolute best!”
“I’ve always known you’d be famous one day,” Luda added chuckling, figuring that Jiyeon must be nervous as well, so maybe Luda could help her with that, just like how the other had helped her. “You’ve just got that air about you, you know? Hard-workig, beautiful and skilled, I wonder how many heartz you’ll steal today, hehe.”
The anime around the young detective, shrunk back to his childhood self, still solving mysteries one way or another was one that Luda has loved since she was young. Growing up watching it, she was still hooked and she still hoped for Shinichi to get back to his 17 year old self and, of course, get together with Ran.
Similarly, Ran was a character who’s always fascinated her, simply for how tough she was and her martial arts skills, she’d often wished to be a bit more like her. The Halloween party was the perfect way for her to slip into the role, though, especially as she still had the costume she bought some years back for a party she’d never managed to go to.
It was perfect, really. Next to their promotions, there wasn’t really enough energy left to search and buy anything new. And with the month passing by in a blur, she found herself at the party before she knew it, dressed up as princess Ran.
Of course, she stuck to the other heartz girls for the most time, finding that there were much too many people around her to really feel relaxed, plus all the media made her careful to be on her best behaviour and that was easiest done, when she was simply not doing much of anything… except that that got a bit boring.
So, after a while, she set out to see if she could find anyone familiar, after all she knew a surprising amount of idols already. But come as it had to, the long dress and high heels weren’t something she was used to and Luda found herself stumbling forward, glad that she didn’t have a glass of water in her hand.
@rkxluda (debut morning)
yuzu was a mix of adrenaline, caffeine and exhaustion the moment she got into the car. head immediately falling into luda’s shoulder the moment they were all buckled up and on their way to their first music show appearance. it was their first schedule. they were about to have their debut stage.
to say yuzu was nervous would be a vast understatement.
she grumbled as she tried to get comfortable on luda’s shoulder, hoping the soothing scent of her eonni would help calm her down a little to at least get a bit of rest. with so much nervous energy thrumming through her veins, anxious of screwing up steps she knew she could dance in her sleep by now, yuzu knew she had to try and find something to help put her at ease.
gaming had helped her fall asleep last night but now?
Luda was lost in thought when she felt the younger girl’s head lean onto her. Her lips pulled up into a soft smile, quite contrary to the chaos of emotions she felt. It was a welcome break from her own thoughts and she figured the others would be similarly nervous or at least excited.
“Didn’t sleep too well?” she asked, whispering so she wouldn’t bother the others too much in case any of them tried to sleep a little bit more. Surprisingly, she’d actually managed to sleep last night, maybe she’d been so nervous that it’d simply knocked her out, but now she was wide awake. Still pretty tired, though.
She tried shifting a little bit, so that her shoulder was a little bit lower and more comfortable to reach for Yuzu, though with her small height that may not be too much of a problem.
Surreal, that’s the only thing that was on the girl’s mind really. Personally, while it felt like a long journey, it really wasn’t, if she thought about it logically. She’s only trained for a bit over two years before debuting now, the more she thought about it, the less it felt like enough time, the less it felt like she was really prepared for what was to come.
“I’m nervous,” she said to Jiyeon, maybe a bit unnecessarily so as they surely all were. At least she couldn’t imagine that anyone was calm in this kind of situation, but if so, she wanted to know their ways. “Do you think we’ve practised enough?” she continues asking the female, eternally glad that she’d at least known half of her subunit-members before the project. Being in this with complete strangers, even if she got along with them, just wouldn’t have been the same as this.
She linked arms with Jiyeon in an extra attempt to calm herself down a little bit further and hopefully the other as well. They’d known each other for so long, from her library days till now, the elder had taught her how to properly walk in heels, had encouraged her singing… “Thank you,” she then added out of nowhere.
