[[This thread is backdated to September 2019]]
Hayun had been told that she had a few hours between the joint dance practice and her specialized vocal practice. The other girls were still at the studio focusing on some dance cover, and it meant that she wasn't involved. It wasn't that she wasn't a good enough dancer to keep up, she'd been in the advanced dance group for a reason, but the company didn't want her splitting her attention. Her singing had been getting better in leaps and bounds since she started training, and she'd noticed the difference even more since she wasn't just coming in to the company on weekends now that she'd transferred to SOPA and was living in the dorms. She did feel a little left out. Seojin-unnie and Anya were close, and they and Jane were in the dance line, so they trained together a lot. All the others had vocal lessons, but she really only ever worked on vocals with Seojin-unnie because she was doing something different. She didn't have lessons with Seoji or Tai either, which would have at least meant not being as alone in her lessons, because both of them had years of vocal training and so the lessons catching her up on technical stuff were probably things they could teach.
She was scuffing her feet a bit and staring down as she made her way back into the dorm. She had homework to do, she could be productive. The boys were all busy practicing too, or doing their own homework in their dorm or with Thomas. Thomas was nice, but he'd notice that she was moping and ask about it, and she was worried that she'd get emotional and it would be embarrassing if he asked.
She stepped into the dorm and pouted, not wanting to be there all alone. She was slow taking her shoes off while sort of staring into space.

Shieon was still in disbelief that this was actually happening, she was actually a trainee. It made her nervous-excited to think that one day soon she would be on stage. It was already shocking when she got an influx of social media fans after the training camp. Her mom broke her out of her thoughts, as she was complaining about something or other. She was about to comment when her dad beat her to it, telling his wife to relax, which just upset her more.
Shieon chuckled softly, "C'mon, appa, you know better than to tell a woman to calm down." She joked. She turned her attention to her mother, "Omoni, it will be fine." She promised, and seeing her mother about to protest put a finger to her lips, "It will be fine." She lowered her voice. "I was perfectly fine at the training camp, not a single soul around here has any suspicion. As long as I don't shower with the other trainees for a while-" "-ever-" her mother interjected. "-until the scars are healed and gone. Or heck, just use a swimsuit if really necessary - it will be fine." That didn't seem to calm her mother's worries, but at least she she was quiet now, though visibly frowning. Shieon turned her head in the general direction of outside the room. "I thought I heard the door open." She told her parents, getting up and running her hands through her hand and then down her dress, hoping to look more presentable than she felt with all the moving things happening. She poked her head out and noticed another girl, though she couldn't remember her name at the moment. She remembered their last names were similar. An. An... something. She thought to herself, clearing her throat to get the other girls attention before giving her a shy smile and a wave.

Hayun looked up in surprise when someone came out into the main room. She'd remembered that the trainees' manager had said something about the last girl trainee moving in sometime this week, but she was pretty sure that they hadn't been told an exact time or date, or that she'd missed it somehow. She tugged on the sleeves of her green sweater a little bit, and smiled at the other girl, Ah Shieon, she was adorable, but also an awesome rapper. They'd barely talked during the trainee camp, but Hayun had been surprised that Shieon was older than her because she was tiny and cute.
She bowed and said, "Hello! I didn't know you were going to be moving in now, Ah Shieon-sshi. The others are doing a dance rehearsal right now. Welcome! Uh, is there anything that I can do to help you settle in?"
She realized that Shieon looked like she was a little uncertain, and Hayun realized she was babbling, and also hazarded a guess that Shieon didn't remember her name, it wasn't like they'd worked together during the training camp. She added, "Uh, nice to meet you properly, I'm An Hayun, and I'm eighteen years old. I'm the only one back because they have me focusing on vocal training but the vocal coach is with the boys right now."
She realized as she stepped up from where she placed her shoes into the main part of the apartment that she was a lot taller than Shieon. She'd known she was taller than her, she was taller than most other girls and a decent number of boys, but it definitely upped Shieon being tiny and adorable factor.
She realized how much she'd been babbling even more, and looked down at her feet again, blushing just a little bit and hoping that she wasn't making a bad first real impression.

An Hayun. Shieon thought to herself with a nod. She was relieved Hayun introduced herself again, and quickly returned the bow when the other girl did so. She wasn't quite sure how to respond, which made her somewhat relieved Hayun was rambling at her, but also it was quite cute how flustered the taller girl was.
She pulled a hand to her mouth, the hand covered in a sleeve of her sweater-dress, trying to hide the smile she felt forming as the younger girl talked. "I see..." She said softly. Her attention on the other girl was broken as her mother called out to her, "Shieon, we don't know where you want things, come back and help."
"Oh." Shieon said, straightening up as her name was called, looking to the sound of her mother's voice before returning her attention to Hayun. "Can you um... help me a bit? I think I took an unoccupied bed and spaces, but you would know better than me. Also a heads up, my umma and appa are in there."

Hayun was relieved when Shieon gave her a direction of something that she could do with the anxious energy. She also sighed just a tiny bit in relief when she saw that Shieon was smiling at her. Hayun nodded and said, "I'd be happy to help!"
She was glad for the warning that Shieon's parents were there. She never quite knew what to expect of parents, but they had the potential to be slightly intimidating, and she felt more awkward often about being taller than real adults than she did about people close to her in age. It was weirder somehow.
She followed Shieon to the bedroom, and she pointed out the bunks saying, "Seojin-unnie has the top bunk close to the door. Anya has the bottom bunk close to the door. Jane has the bottom bunk near the window, and I've got the middle bottom bunk, so it looks like you're good. We've all just kind of been sharing the closet, and if it gets too full we can move some stuff to the hall closet, but right now, there's lots of space."
She glanced over at Shieon's parents now that she was properly in the room and bobbed a slightly awkward bow, saying awkwardly and more formally, "Nice to meet you," and hoping that Shieon would do the actual introducing and talking. Hiding behind Shieon wasn't going to be effective though, Hayun was too tall.

Shieon didn't even have to ask her mom if seeing another trainee, a younger one at that, was taller than her was a relief, she could tell just looking at her. Though, she was glad it wasn't an obvious facial expression, or one a stranger was likely to pick on as somehow a strange reaction. She followed Hayun's fingers as she pointed out which bed belonged to who, feeling a bit bad since she had remembered all the other girls names. But Seojin had been very talented, and Jane had a pretty voice, in her opinion, and Anya was just so young. She remember Taijia for the same reason, except somehow the boy was all three of the reasons she remembered her future band mate's names. She recalled Hayun was quite a good dancer, but Shieon also wasn't skilled enough herself to know that; she was in awe of nearly all the dancers because she wanted to be that good someday.
Shieon's mother gave Hayun a smile, "It's nice to meet you..." Her voice faded as she looked to her daughter expectantly. "Ah! Right. This is An Hayun. Hayun-sshi, this is my mom and dad." She motioned to her parents as she introduced them, giving Hayun a cute smile as she stopped talking.

Hayun smiled a little bit awkwardly at Shieon's parents and gave little awkward bow while saying, "Nice to meet you."
She realized that she'd already said that and stared a little bit sheepishly at her feet.
She looked at Shieon, not quite fully turning to look at her and said, voice a little bit small, "Shieon-sshi, is there anything that I can help with unpacking? I can show you where we keep things in the dorm too. Or with the training areas if they didn't show you that. They haven't really changed much since training camp, but the rooms where the trainee dorms were set up are back to being practice spaces."
She chewed her lip a little bit, not quite sure what to say and not wanting to impose, but she was more interested in being around someone than just hiding in the dorm doing homework alone and lonely.

Shieon tried to think of some way Hayun could help, since she was offering, and looked to her bedding. "Can you help me set up my bed sheets and stuff? It's always easier with two people and uh..." She extended her arms to show she could barely reach the other end of the bed from the side. "You can probably reach that easier." She finished with a laugh. "And yeah, I would appreciate a tour of the other places, it's been a while since the training camp and I've kind of forgotten where things were." She admitted sheepishly.
She noticed out of the corner of her eye that her parents had paused, and seemed to be silently discussing something between the two of them. Finally, her mom nodded and called her over. "Yes, umma?" "Since a fellow trainee has come to help you, we'll leave you to get settled now, okay?" Shieon smiled and nodded, "Okay. I love you. Take care. Drive home safe." She told her mom. Her mom reiterated the relevant parts of Shieon's words and gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead and a hug. Shieon's dad did the same, and then bid Hayun farewell after telling her it was nice to meet her.
Her parents had barely shut the door when Shieon got a text message from them: I am happy you will not be the tallest. Take care of yourself and be careful. <3 Shieon rolled her eyes and simply sent back: did you really expect me to be the tallest?!?!?!? She dropped her hands to her lap and gave Hayun a smile, "So anyway. I'm glad they left quickly so they couldn't embarrass me." She told the other girl playfully.

Hayun laughed lightly and said, "I can definitely reach a little bit more easily than you."
She scooped up the first piece of bedding and started fitting it to the bed, glad to be given a task that was easy enough to do without knowing how Shieon wanted her things organized. Bedding was, for the most part, bedding after all. It only worked so many ways. She figured that she could make the bed nicely, with all the sheets tucked in properly, and then Shieon could decide how tidy she wanted to keep it.
She was a little bit relieved when Shieon's parents decided to go, though she smiled a little bit shyly and said good bye politely.
She watched Shieon's interaction with her parents a little bit. It seemed fairly caring, though she felt like the older girl had been potentially a little bit relieved to see them off as well.
Hayun was able to finish with the bedding fairly quickly, and she glanced over to Shieon to see how she was doing with her unpacking. She asked, "Shieon-sshi, do you want to look around now, or do you want to do more unpacking?"

Shieon observed what she had left to unpack, now that the bed was made, it was mainly her suitcases, so mainly clothes and some various trinkets or plushies, and she shook her head. "I can unpack the rest later. I'd love a tour of the dorm and like... where the training rooms are and stuff. Maybe meet or re-meet some of the other trainees if they're around and not busy." She said.

Hayun smiled and bounced on the balls of her feet a little bit when Shieon said that she was interested in looking around. She said, "There's not a ton of the dorm to see, but I'll point things out."
She didn't really think anything of grabbing the other girl's arm lightly and towing her out to the main part of the dorm explaining things as she pointed them out. She said, "You probably pretty much saw it already. There's only one restroom, but there's also a restroom like a locker room restroom with showers over by the training room, so if we're ever all trying to get ready at once, some of us are able to use that. We've got some of our coats and stuff in the big closet, but honestly it's not gotten much use yet. Maybe now that there are five of us, some of our stuff will need to go out there. Some of us have stashed our suitcases out there too."
She moved on from the area outside the bedroom into the main living area. She continued, "We have a kitchen. There's an electric kettle and a rice cooker and a microwave and if you cook, it's pretty well equipped. We've not had much time for people to cook though I know that a few of the girls can. The living room is mostly where we do homework or hang out if we ever have time, which isn't all that often. Though you're not in school any more, so you might have more time. There's a TV and a game system, but honestly I don't know what games we even have for it."
Hayun nodded to herself and said, "So that's the dorm. It's not very exciting, especially since no one else is hear right now. The boys have their dorm down the hall, but we're not supposed to go over there. We see them plenty in the training rooms though. I mostly talk to Seoji and Felix because we're all in the same class at SOPA, but Tai is close with Anya, and he helps with dance classes pretty often, even though he's really young. Anya and Tai and Jane are all still in middle school, but none of them are in the same middle school. And Seojin-unnie is finishing up her last year Yego, which is farther, so she takes longer to get to and from school. The other girls are filming a dance thing right now, but they'll be done in time for dinner, so the company is probably going to want to sit us all down and make sure everyone knows each other or something, but we won't go into the room where they're filming because I don't want to get in trouble."
Hayun knew that she was babbling a little bit, but it didn't take her long to get them to the training areas. She pointed out the different training rooms, the big dance studio and the smaller ones that had been used as dorms while they were there for training camp, the recording studio, the vocal and music practice rooms of various sizes, and the training room restrooms.

Shieon looked over places as Hayun pointed them out, getting a little excited for the gaming system. "Even if I don't go to school anymore, the company will probably use that time to get me vocal and dance training." She said, a bemused smile playing on her face.
She nodded, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, "hmm, yeah, we probably don't want to get in trouble for disturbing the others. I can always meet them later." She said, trying to keep in mind the routes Hayun was taking her so she wouldn't get lost if/when she had to find them herself. Luckily it was a fairly small building. She checked her phone for the time and then looked up at Hayun. "It's still a few hours before dinnertime... I think I saw a cafe in the building, or something, shall we go there? We can have drinks and chat." She offered.

Hayun grinned and said, "There's a little cafe that's technically next door, but all we have to do is step out for a few steps. They aren't too worried about us going over there usually, and the owners are nice. I'm pretty sure that all of us have taken selcas there for social media at this point."
She linked her arm with Shieon's and said, "It sounds like a good plan."
As she steered them towards the front of the building, she said, "I'm sure that you'll do lots of training, but you'll probably have a little bit more free time than the ones of us who have to go to classes. You'll probably work with the rap trainer that they bring in like once a week for Felix to work with."
She grinned at the much shorter, but older girl, and said voice full of cuteness suddenly, "Shieon-unnie, tell me more about you and stuff you like! I don't have someone to spend a bunch of my time yet with from the girls because I'm not dance line."

Shieon let herself be led to the cafe, letting out a quiet gasp as they entered. "It's so cute and pretty!" She squealed, bounding up to the counter and looking over the drink options. She ordered a white hot chocolate before finally catching up to what Hayun was telling her while she was excited about seeing the cafe. She muttered something about continuing their conversation once they were sitting so that Hayun wouldn't think she was suddenly ignoring her.
As they got settled, Shieon finally spoke again. "I'm pretty sure I only got in because of my rapping, but similar to my singing and dancing, I can mimic much better than I can actually do on my own. So I think I look forward to these potential rap sessions, and also meeting more of the trainees sounds exciting." She began, using that to stall on her hobbies. She let out a laugh, hiding behind a hand cutely, "I don't know. Who am I?" She joked, still laughing a little. She cleared her throat and put her hand down, though she was still giggling a little. "Um. I mean. I like learning languages, Thai specifically but like, all other languages are interesting. So I'd like to learn more at some point." She tried to think of what else she liked. For a long time, that and talking about trans issues was all that she really focused on. But she couldn't just come out and say something like she spent a lot of time as an LGBTQ+ advocate without knowing how Hayun felt about that sort of topic. "Um... oh! Nail art!" She said, showing off her fingernails, which were currently pink near the cuticles and faded to lavender at the ends. "I like doing nail art, and have a bit of a fanbase on Instagram. But not like... huge. Like, I think I have 100 followers." She said.

Hayun couldn't help but grin watching Shieon-unnie get excited about the cafe. The older girl was adorable in a way that made Hayun kind of want to squash her into a hug. She grinned and said softly, "I'm glad you like it."
She ordered just a milk tea for herself, settling on something that she was comfortable with.
Hayun felt the smile linger on her face as she watched the animated way that Shieon-unnie talked. There was something about watching the other girl talk that just sort of filled her with a warm, peaceful feeling. She wasn't used to feeling that way around a person, or just in general, and it made her want to stick close to the other girl, even if she was still nervous about this under it all.
When Shieon-unnie showed her nails off, Hayun caught her hand and looked at her nails more closely before saying, "Wow, unnie! Your nails are so pretty! I've barely even ever painted mine and that's super cool."
She smiled across the table at the other girl before letting her hand go and taking another sip of her milk tea to cover her sudden burst of shyness.
