girlsfest | Round 2: Idolverse

Prompts should be based around a scenario related to being an idol. But it doesn't have to be possible in real life!

Canon compliant (could have happened in real life)
Canon divergent (things started out the same but details will change)
Future fic (could happen in the future)
Alternate universe (idol/non-idol, different group entirely, etc)

Example:

Characters/Ship: SNSD Jessica/Taeyeon
Tags: future fic

Prompt: set after taeyeon’s retirement and they’ve both taken a step back from the public eye. taeyeon goes to san francisco for a solo holiday (sightseeing, to visit a good friend, or maybe something else draws her there) and bumps into jessica unexpectedly (bonus if it’s at a club or a bar lol)

RULES

You are not required to have a Dreamwidth account to participate. There are no signups necessary. You may post anonymously if you want.
There will be 4 rounds of this fest and 1 round will be opened each week of the fest. Rounds will be left open for fills and comments, so there is no deadline for participating.
Prompts do not have to be claimed before you write them, and they can be filled by more than one person.
There is no minimum or maximum word count for fills. In the spirit of the fest, we encourage you to write shorter works!
Users are allowed to crosspost their fic on any other site, such as AO3. However, we ask that when possible, writers post the text of their fills as a reply to the prompt and include a link to an AO3 post if they choose to do so, instead of just linking to an AO3 post in their comment. This helps keep discussion in our community!
Feel free to subscribe and join the comm to keep track of updates and view them on your reading page.

CONTENT
Prompts and fills have to center around K-pop girl group member(s). This includes:

All active and former girl group members
Female soloists
Female members in co-ed groups
Any female idol or trainee affiliated with K-pop (e.g. GP999 contestants, AKB48 members who featured in Produce48)
Slash, gen, het, and trans works are all accepted as long as they involve at least one girl group member

Characters/Ship: aespa, karina/any
Tags: canon compliant, no major character death

Prompt: Karina falls for another trainee as a coping mechanism. It's not supposed to last, so she doesn't treat the relationship like it will.

“Can you take her soju away?” Jeongyeon asks Nayeon from across the table, laughing. It comes out as a joke, but she really kind of means it.

“Don’t, Nayeon unnie, please don’t,” Sana begs, clinging to her arm, “I love you so much, too.”

Nayeon snorts. “It doesn’t sound like you love me nearly as much as you love Jeongyeon, I am seriously third-wheeling it here.”

“You’re being ridiculous,” Sana whines. Then she hiccups, blinks. Continues, face close to Nayeon’s. “It’s just that Jeongyeon looks really pretty today. Like really pretty. Like I want to—”

Their manager practically jumps in to calls cut on the filming but not before a camera catches Jeongyeon’s wide-eyed, documentary talking head stare.

“You’re fucking crazy,” Nayeon scolds, Sana looking upset. “If this wasn’t a pre-shot video—”

“I’m 27,” Sana argues, “Or 26, or whatever I am now in South Korea. I can’t keep track!”

“That’s not an excuse to talk about,” she lowers her voice, “wanting to, I can’t even say it,” she finishes, the manager and assistant PD having come up to tell Sana to keep it in check.

“It was fanservice,” Sana says haughtily. “It’s fun to say. I wouldn’t—”

She stops. Nayeon glances quickly at Jeongyeon before realizing that was even more incriminating.

“Drunk content was a mistake,” she says, finally sighing and going to get a bottle of water. “We’re not listening to anything but Alcohol-Free on the way back!”

Sana sticks her head out to yell back between the two staff members, stunned: “That’s an actual punishment!”

Jeongyeon follows Nayeon to the snack table. “What did she whisper to you,” she asks, “I want to know.”

Nayeon looks at her like she’s crazy. “You...” She chugs half a water bottle and pulls her hair back. “You want her.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

“You really are third-wheeling me,” Nayeon complains. “I can’t even lie to you and tell you I think she was playing games, but I can’t tell you what I really think because you’re going to leave me here and end up in her room.”

Jeongyeon rolls her eyes. “You are so dramatic,” she tells Nayeon. “Sometimes it’s just girl of the month with Sana.”

Nayeon throws up her hands. “I am not getting involved in this.”

Sana apologizes to Jeongyeon in the van while Nayeon is asleep. (She’s so bad at keeping her promises.)

“You don’t have to,” Jeongyeon tells her. Nayeon is alone in the backseat and she can’t even pretend to look busy on her phone.

“You don’t have to look at me,” Sana says like a mind reader.

“You were drunk,” Jeongyeon says, like the end of that conversation.

“I wasn’t that drunk. Maybe a little,” she admits. “But really, not that drunk.”

“Well,” Jeongyeon starts, “I think I know you well enough not to be hurt by the things that you say.” It sounded awful as soon as she said it.

The van rumbles on for a few blocks before Sana speaks again with some hesitation. “Some feelings are easier to hide in plain sight.”

The last thing Jeongyeon wants is to do exactly what Nayeon expected of her. But maybe there’s a sort of comfort to that predictability.

“Did you mean what you said to her?” Jeongyeon asks, glancing behind them.

Sana’s face lights up. “Do you want to find out?”
