—company building

sitting at her desk, she set up her phone so she could start her instagram live. she was really enjoying this non restriction from doing this. a little coordination with the members and they could all consistently do lives without disturbing another member. oh how she longed to be able to have her own public account, but alas, she had to settle on her burner accounts.

turning it on, she waved to the camera with a sweet smile. "heyy, wow the chat is moving fast again. i can't read very well guys i need you to slow down. my reading proficiency in english is bad." she laughed trying to keep up with the comments and speed.

user1: hello unniee
user2: hiiiiii
user3: I LOVE YOU ❤️
user4: why arent you at isac?

"isac? guys, my group has barely been out for that long. what makes you think i'd be there. also our group isn't that athletic but don't tell them that." she smiled, acting like she wanted to go to isac. she didn't, she loved watching old isac videos from 2016-2017 and whatnot but she knew one too many idols who got injured during the program.

wasn't on her bucket list to get injured now was she. no she was not. she frankly didn't feel like getting hurt today.

user5: did you say happy birthday to mark?
user6: can you say "hi sophie"
user7: hand in marriage?
user8: CAN YOU SING SOMETHING

"i did say happy birthday to mark. he's so old isn't he?" she cackled, knowing well that she was the older between the two of them. can't act like she wasn't entertained of course. "do you want me to sing something? lets see." thinking of some songs, she tapped her cheek as she thought about something that wouldn't get her in trouble. she didn't know what would make her fans fall in love with her until she thought of the perfect song.

"my core vibrates in an opium haze." she hummed, not remembering the lyrics that well. "yet you think we're the same?"
"the skyline falls, as i try to make sense of it all." closing her eyes, she really had to focus on the lyrics and feel of the song. it was like a song for impending doom or for when everything came crashing down on you. "i thought i'd uncover your secrets but turns out there's more." she really felt the lyrics.

she felt the pain when suki waterhouse sang it. and god damn did it imprint itself into her brain. like a burn that was burned for too long. "you adored me before." holding a hand to her chest, she really wasn't warmed up at all. "oh, my good looking boy." she sang the last line and smiled. "was that good enough arts?" seeing the chat blow up, she couldn't help but smile.

user9: YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING
user10: sing until i found you by stephen sanchez please!
user11: IM IN LOVE WITH YOU ❤️❤️
user12: please date me.

"until i found you? how does that go again?" she hummed the melody trying to remember the chorus.
"i said, i would never fall in love again until i found her. i said i would never fall unless it's you i fall into." putting out a hand to the camera. she grinned sweetly and relaxed her expression to convey the emotions from the song. "i was lost within the darkness, but then i found her. i found you." dragging out the you, she smiled and clapped to herself.

user13: MARRY ME PLEASE
user14: MOMMY? SORRY
user15: ON MY KNEES 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️
user16: IM GONNA SIMP SO HARD FOR YOU

laughing, she couldn't help but giggle and read the chat. she adored her fans, she really did. she loved their reactions and loved it when they were appreciating her. call her full of herself, but she couldn't help it. it was like she was given the best gift from debuting. support that meets no bounds. she was lucky to have a fanbase that loved her this much.

"did you all know you guys have an official fan name if your bias is me." she grinned with an awaiting expression. it was the time she was gonna reveal her fandom name essentially. "drum roll please." hitting her desk lightly to mimic a drum roll, she smiled and clapped. "hello my sour patch kids!" she laughed. the name was so cute and it still resembled her forbidden stage name.

user17: THATS SO CUTE SKBFWK
user18: do you play any games?
user19: someone gonna ask me what i am and im gonna say im a sour patch kid 💀💀
user20: if you say so mom 🙏🙏

"i wish i could text my friends at isac and make fun of them. do you guys know castle j of mcnd?" she asked out of curiosity. she remembered seeing a lot of talk from the mcnd fandom saying they didn't believe that their idols would win esports and was curious if anyone were fans.

user21: no but i'll check out mcnd if you say so 🥰
user22: mcdonalds?
user23: OMG ARE YOU FRIENDS WITH MCND
user24: yall who 💀💀

"you should check out their music! they released a new song 2 days before i even debuted." she smiled. free promo. seongjun better thank me. she thought. knowing that mcnd's songs were to die for. literally manifesting new fans for them because she had a big label behind her back that formed immediate fans because of a big label name.

it was just that easy. "hold up, i think i just saw a comment asking if i have friends. bestie..." she furrowed her eyebrows with a concerned smile on her face. the one when someone says something stupid but you don't want to ruin their life. "bestie.. i probably know your fave.. and know who your fave is friends with.. we are not the same girlie.." she motioned, clearly trying to emphasize her friendship with the majority of the industry. if they were born in 1999 she was probably friends with them or is going to be friends with them.

tucking the loose stray strands of hair behind her ear, she continued her concerned smile. "anyways... i got these new rings and my nails done. i don't really like long nails but these were expensive and paid by the company card so i can't be complaining." showing her rings and nails to the camera, she tried to move onto a new subject before stan twitter recorded it and posted it on twitter for everyone to see and use to justify delusional fans.

brushing over the comments slightly, she thought she might as well bring her stan twitter out of her.

user25: HELP NOT THE SHADE
user26: STAY WINNING QUEEN 🤩🤩
user27: SEOKYU EATING THIS UP WIRNWKBD
user28: NOT THE "girlie..."

"no because literally, asking me if i have friends or not. like... i probably know your faves better than you do. delusional i swear." she knew this conversation well and she knew she'd get backlash from saying this but oh what the hell. feed fuel to the fire is a game she liked to play in her spare time anyways.

didn't hurt to get trending and in trouble with her manager now did it. it wasn't like she was gonna die or anything. she knew too much to be able to kick out easily.

user29: seokyu secretly has a stan twt account 😭😭
user30: HELP DELUSIONAL FANS
user31: SHE BE IN THE BASEMENT FOR SO LONG THAT SHE KNOWS STANTWT SLANG
user32: MY GENZ ICON

"now to clarify your highnesses' 'do you have friends?' comment. i just want you to know. i'm probably best friends with your fave." she smiled and acted like nothing happened. "do you guys think blue fits me for nails? it's a little bit darker than the pale blue that i like to be honest." continuing to show off her nails like nothing was happening. she was so getting scolded later.

"oh my gosh my nails are so cute. i wish i could tell you the location but i'm gatekeeping it. it's my nail tech y'all." she loved her nail tech. whenever she needed to get her nails done, she preferred to go to her nail tech instead of letting the stylist do whatever the fuck they do with her nails. sometimes, spending company money was worth all the hassle.

brushing over a comment, she groaned and shook her head. "no! it's my nail tech! you can't have it."
