Seojin didn't quite know what to do with herself the first time she had an actual free day. It was just one day, so not enough time to go visit her family. And she was on top of her homework, and they'd been told that they shouldn't practice more than their normal daily routines because it was a day for them to get some rest.
The trainee manager had mentioned in passing earlier in the week that Seojin should try to go out and do things with some of the younger girls when she got the chance though, and she'd also been told that they would want some selcas for sharing on the trainee social media. Everything was an opportunity to build the hype if used correctly.
She'd thought about it, and after her usual morning dance routine, once she'd showered and gone back to the dorms, she went looking for Anya, planning to ask her if she wanted to go get something at a coffee shop and then go look at the park. She knew that Anya sometimes tried to spend time with Tai on their free days, but she'd seen Tai trying to do things mostly at the dorms, and she suspected that Tai knew enough to be worried about them developing dating rumors even as young as they were.
As she entered the dorms, she hoped that Anya was actually awake already.

Anya was happy for the free day, especially since she had already done homework the night before. She had met up with Taijia for just a moment in passing, but both of them seemed content on doing nothing, and so after chatting they bid each other farewell. Anya had met up with Remi quite early in the day, since he had to leave for school by 8am, so they had a quick meetup at the nearby coffee shop, and he bought her a white hot chocolate and they got to catch up. As much as she hated to admit it, she was glad Remi followed her after all, because it was nice to have at least one family member near her. She'd never let Remi know that though.
She was back at the dorms, relaxing on the couch as she quietly watched tv and sipped on her hot cocoa, when Seojin walked in. "Good morning, Seojin-unnie." she said to her softly.

Seojin grinned at Anya watching TV. It was clear that she'd already been out at least briefly that day, and Seojin suspected that it had been with her older brother. She sat down on the couch next to Anya and said, "Good morning. I'm glad to see you up and about already."
She glanced at what Anya was watching, vaguely curious, and then asked, "I was going to go to a nearby coffee shop and then go wander around the park and maybe the waterfront for a bit. Do you want to come with me?"
She added, "Oh, and the trainee manager said that if we went out we should take some selcas so that they can post them on the trainee social media if they like them."
She was a little bit curious about the presence of the drink, "Did you go out to do something with Remi this morning?"

Anya turned the TV on mute as Seojin talked to her more than just a good morning. Although her Korean had gotten significantly better since she had come to Korea, she had a hard time in crowded places, or when two things were making noise at once. She nodded enthusiastically at Seojin's offer. "Sure!" She could never have enough hot chocolate, after all.
She giggled at the comment about how they should take selcas for social media. It was still wild to her that she had fans. What she was even doing, training and seeing a debut in her future, seemed so unreal she sometimes wondered when she would wake up from this dream. She hoped never.
She nodded, "mmhmm, he'd been compla..." She paused as she realized she couldn't remember the rest of the word for 'complaining,' "um... upset that he hasn't seen me recently. So I told him I could meet with him today, but he had to leave for school by 8am. Had some sort of group project, I think."

Seojin smiled and quietly provided the word, "Complaining," after Anya was done with her sentence, but she didn't linger over it. It was good to hear Anya getting better at getting her point across without having to resort to English. She replied, "I get where he's coming from, not getting to see his little sister, but he's staying so close to you that it must be especially frustrating. It's been a few months since I've seen my baby sister."
Seojin didn't dwell on that thought. She didn't know that much about Anya's brother, but he'd come to Korea with her, and he was sharing an apartment with Thomas. She figured she'd either meet him eventually or she wouldn't, but she was glad that Anya had gotten the time to see him since she did seem happy about it.
She asked, "You ready to go back out? We can walk around for a little bit while you finish the drink that you have now, take a few selcas, and then go find a coffee shop. There's a few places in the mall on the other side of the park, and there's a Holly's and a Starbucks near here, more than one actually. Or we could just stop somewhere that catches our eye because I'm sure there are plenty of places nearby I don't know about."

Anya mimicked the word as Seojin told her how to say it, hoping she would remember this time. Learning a new language was rewarding but frustrating, but she found it very fascinating how it opened a whole new world to her, and despite the troubles, looked forward to when they would inevitably start learning Japanese and/or Chinese.
She nodded when asked if she was ready to go back out, and got up off the couch and went over to put her shoes on. "That sounds like fun, and I haven't had much chance to sight-see since coming here, so I'd like to do that." She was happy to be able to say that sentence all in Korean, even though she stumbled over a couple words, and she didn't really know the word for explore, so she used sight-see, which she felt was a weird substitution but one Seojin would probably understand the meaning behind.

Seojin smiled and said, "I've not gotten much chance to explore this area either."
She'd probably gone out more than Anya overall though, since she went to catch public transit to and from school. She was pretty sure that the company was still just driving the younger girls to and from school.
She figured that she was probably more confident wandering around nearby than Anya was though because if nothing else, she could easily read the street signs and just knew how things worked in Seoul.
She slipped her own shoes on to go outdoors and grabbed a light jacket, slinging it around her shoulders and making sure that her wallet and phone were in the pockets. She asked, "Where do you want to start, the park or the waterfront?"

Anya thought a moment as she tried to decide where they should start their exploration. She noticed an unfamiliar in the first sentence Seojin had responded with, and something in her mind told her it was "explore," but she could only hope she would remember it for next time. "Can we look at the waterfront first?" She asked, looking up at Seojin. She really didn't want to be carrying around a coffee cup for the walk though, and worked to finish her drink before they exited the building so she could throw the cup away in the outside garbage can.
She practically was bouncing as she walked, excited to get to explore and also excited to get to spend time with Seojin. Though, a part of her wondered if it was awkward to her - Seojin was so much older than her. But she supposed they'd have to get used to each other eventually. She was still a little awkward with Shieon, too, because of their age difference, but even though she often only understood half of her words, loved hearing Shieon talk about her time in Thailand. The older girl was very passionate about it, and Anya found it endearing. As for Seojin, Anya was appreciative of her for helping during the training camp, and they both really liked dancing, but Anya realized she didn't really know much else about her, besides that she spent some time in the US. She hoped today they could become closer.

Seojin grinned at Anya's enthusiasm and pointed them in the direction of the waterfront. She said, "Waterfront it is. It's supposed to be really pretty, so I'm sure that the company will be happy if we get some photos there too."
As they walked, she asked, "How's school been treating you? I know that you're going to the American school not too far from here. Have you been settling in OK?"
Seojin said, "We can stop at one of the little stalls that's open in the park or along the waterfront later when it's lunchtime if you want. Some of them are still out when I'm on my way back from school, so sometimes I get a snack, so I know some of the good ones, but I'm also happy to be adventurous."
She couldn't help but laugh a little at Anya's skipping, amused by the younger girl's energy, and before long, they were entering the waterfront park. Seojin smiled at the river and said, "Isn't it pretty! We should go walk down by the water."
She pulled out her phone so that she'd be able to catch some photos, though she figured that the'd probably pose for a selca when they found somewhere that they liked.

Anya turned so she was facing Seojin, though she was still ahead of the older girl and her pace only slowed as she walked backward. "It's alright. Because it's an American school, it's honestly not very different from my school back home. Maybe a little more rigorous, and like, there's a Korean class, of course. And there's uniforms. But it's been easy to settle in and make friends and stuff." Although some of the students had expressed jealousy or bitterness at her being a trainee, they never went far enough she would even consider it bullying and so it never bothered her. She'd just kill them with kindness, anyway.
"Oh yes, I'd love that!" She said, turning back to face forward now that Seojin had caught up with her again. "I wouldn't mind a recommendation!" She added just as excitedly. She looked over towards the edge of the water, and gave Seojin a nod, "It's beautiful, let's go see it!" She agreed, heading closer to the river. She found a long stick on her way down and dragged it beside her in the water. "Seems refreshing..." She mused aloud.

Seojin replied, "I'm glad that school is treating you alright, and that it hasn't been too hard to adapt. Do you think that you're going to plan on sticking with that school through high school or seeing about going to one of the arts schools?"
She knew that Tai was planning on Yego. He'd asked her a bunch of questions about it over various morning practices. And Seoji, Felix, and Hayun all went to SOPA now, so there were connections and other students who would be at each, though Anya would only overlap a little bit with the others except for Tai. She wasn't sure what Jane's plans were after the coming year since she was generally not super talkative.
Seojin watched Anya's playfulness and thought about the fact that the younger girl was still very much a kid. She would be still so young when the group of them debuted, and Seojin would need to look out for her especially, their maknae. She grinned though at how happy Anya seemed and said, "Let's get a selca with the bridge in the background?"

"I think I want to try to get into SOPA." Anya said. Really, she wanted to go to Yego, to be with Taijia, but she could already guess she wouldn't get in. "It'd be nice to go to Yego, but I don't think I'd pass the entrance exam." She added with a cute frown. It would have been nice to know what Jane's plans were, but the other girl wasn't super talkative despite Anya's best efforts, so eventually she just left her alone.
She brightened up again at the suggestion of taking a selca together, and chirped an "ok!" as she bounded closer to Seojin, angling herself so the bridge was behind her.

Seojin said, "You should apply if you want to go there. Even if you don't get in, at least you'll have tried. If you don't apply, you won't be even giving yourself the chance. It's a good school too. My parents were happy about it because they liked that it's got better academics than most of the arts schools that idols go to."
Seojing slung a friendly arm around the younger girl's shoulders, taking several selcas with her phone. She was OK at selcas, but if she took enough, she'd get a good one. She opened up the roll of photos taken and handed her phone to Anya, saying, "What do you think? Did I get any decent ones that the manger will like or should I try again? We can take more other places too."

"Hmm... I guess you're right." Anya said. She still was convinced she wouldn't pass, but Seojin was right, and maybe she'd surprise herself. She made cute poses with each picture, and gently took the phone when Seojin handed it to her, looking through the pictures they had just taken. "A lot of these are good, but I think I like this one the best. I think a cloud moved or something maybe, the lighting looks really good." She said, turning the phone to show Seojin.

Seojin nodded and selected that one and a few others to send to the manager before she forgot.
She asked, "Are there any things that you're wanting to go do that you've not gotten the chance to? I know that you've gone places with your brother a few times, but I want to try to figure out stuff that I should suggest to the manager in terms of where they should take us for promotional material stuff."
She didn't know how much the managers and boss would respond to, we should do this because it would be fun, but they'd even asked her a few times if there were things that she thought they should go do for fun pictures and good promotional stuff, so she figured that she had a chance at floating some of those ideas.
