MOON GIRLS (LOONA BAND AU)

CHAPTER 7

Yves and Chuu are sitting at the couch waiting for the delivery food. Yves scrolled through Instagram and stalks a few female artists.

"isn't she cute?" Yves showed Chuu a photo of Jihan, the pianist of HollyDays.

"she's like... a child." Chuu annoyedly replied.

"that's why I called her cute." Yves just smiled.

"sure. I'll prepare the plates." Chuu got up from Yves' embrace and headed to the kitchen.

Chuu leaned on the counter and sighed.

"I shouldn't let her do things with me anymore." Chuu talked to herself.

Chuu arranged the plates on the coffee table since they like to eat in the living room. she decided to sit on the floor and played with her phone, checking the band's schedules.

"what are you doing?" Yves expected her to sit beside her again.

*ding dong*

"oh, the food!" Chuu stood up and get the food.

She unwrapped the food and took it out of their plastics.

"guys! the foods are here." Chuu shouted so the other came out.

Kimlip yawned and sat beside Yves and leaned on her shoulder. Vivi and Yeojin sat on the floor and helped Chuu. Hyunjin just started eating the bread that came with the salad.

Yves just ignored Chuu and started eating with the rest of them.

Once they finished, Vivi and Chuu took care of the dishes while the rest are chatting in the living room.

"Heejin got mad when get too friendly with a female fan." Hyunjin said after Yeojin showed her her fan-cam.

"just tell her it's fan service." Yves chuckled at her.

"I did." Hyunjin said with a straight face.

"it's way better to be single. You can work hard for yourself only. No burden." Yves stretched and put her hands on her head.

"that's just how you do. Did you ever feel lonely?" Kimlip asked. She knows that Yves hate that kind of questions. She hates feeling things.

"well, I'm here now. I shouldn't feel such thing." Yves calmly replied.

"what are you guys talking about?" Chuu and Vivi came back. Chuu sat on the floor beside Yeojin.

"look! hyeju did a live with Gowon." Yeojin showed them her phone.

"you like to stalk people." Hyunjin blurted out. "let me see." Hyunjin leaned in.

"aren't they look too... romantic?" Chuu noticed.

"warn your friend, hyun." Kimlip said.

"it'll be too odd if the fans noticed that Olivia suddenly got close with her after Kimlip got out." Chuu added. Kimlip noticed the choice of word.

"I got replaced, not outed." Kimlip leaned on Yves shoulder again.

Today, Blood Moon were preparing for their comeback. Mr. Kang and other producers gathered on the recording room.

"okay, Yves. Let's see what you got." Mr. Kang flipped through the printed lyrics that Yves gave him.

Yves plugged in her macbook and played the demo.

*Yves - New*

"piano opening, good." Mr. Kang held his chin. "the bass are good." Yves smiled at him. "I heard a little synth in there. After the bridge, you can add a guitar fill in. and the song's set."

"thank you, Sir." Yves bowed at Mr. Kang.

"keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to the other work." Mr. Kang then left the room.

The producer team prepared for the first recording.

"does everyone already practice the part?" one of the producer said and all of them nodded. "alright we'll record the piano first since it's Yves's part. We can use it as a guide."

-

Chuu came in to the room after organizing the schedules with Yerim. Watching Yves directed the band made Chuu likes Yves even more. Ever since Yves asked her to be her cuddle buddy, Yves showed a different side of her and Chuu somehow caught the feeling.

And so, the recording started. All of them adjusted to the song pretty quickly. Chuu watched them record one by one until the end. The recording ended pretty late since it's their first time.

Not only that, they continue to practice the song altogether, after a few minutes of breaks, though.

-

"how's our song?" Yves asked Chuu back at the dorm.

"it's great! I'm so proud of you all." Chuu gave them an applause.

"glad you like it. I know it's gonna be a hit." Yves side-hugged Chuu.

"ah! I remember I had to meet Yerim." Chuu immediately stood up and left the group.

Yves sighed.

"you guys okay?" Kimlip asked.

"yeah. What's wrong?" Yves shook it off.

"she seems a little distanced from you." Yeojin chimed in.

"she got things to do. I don't mind." Yves stood up and went to her room.

-

Chuu lied. Instead, she went to the nearest café to buy some hot tea.

"jiwoo, right?" Chuu looked up at the girl. "I'm juhyeon, Lightyears' manager."

"ah, my boss told me about you. Your agency is under LOONA Entertainment, right?" Chuu gave her a smile.

"yes. Aren't you preparing for a comeback?" she asked.

"we're just back from recording, actually."

"ah... alright! Can I ask for your number? Since I'm new to this, maybe I can ask for advice." Juhyeon took her phone.

"of course! Feel free to ask me." Chuu took her phone and typed her number in. "my phone rang. I'll save your number." Chuu gave her a smile.

"thank you so much!" juhyeon bowed at her and walked away.

"jiwoo..." Yves lays on Chuu's lap. "you're looking at your phone too much."

"I'm texting someone." Chuu said honestly.

"who?"

"I met a junior manager the other day and she asked some stuff about managing." Chuu didn't look up ay Yves.

"oh... okay then." Yves stood up and grab her phone. "I'm going out."

"we have practice this evening. Don't go too long." Chuu looked at Yves shortly then back at her phone.

Yves accidentally slammed the door and startled Chuu. On the way out, Yves saw Vivi and haseul just went back from the studio.

"I thought you'd wait for practice with jiwoo." Vivi asked. Yves notice they're holding hands.

"she got busy, I got bored, I go out." Yves put her hands on her coat pocket. "you guys dating?" Yves smirked.

"oh, it's cold." Haseul replied then pulled away her hand.

"sure..." Yves smiled at them. "good luck. I'll be going."
