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 3 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.
Once a round is open, you can continue submitting prompts for it until the end of the fest moderation period. (Ex: On February 17 after Round 3 opens, you’re still allowed to submit prompts to Round 1 and 2.)
There is no minimum or maximum word count for fills. In the spirit of the fest, we encourage you to write shorter works, but any length is welcome and appreciated!
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.

(this is my first time filling for a k-pop fest like this. please tell me if i did anything wrong.)

The axe is always heavy in her pencil-thin fingers. Wonyoung never lets it stop her.

She wraps her fingers back around the handle and squeezes, harder than ever, as she walks towards the girl pressed against the wall. Wonyoung doesn't smile; she does what needs to be done, as her eyes glint in the moonlight peeking through the window.

The girl in front of her is shaking. The sight used to sadden her, used to make her feel bad. There's a lot that Wonyoung doesn't feel now, doesn't feel as she goes up on stage and plays her part, doesn't feel on these sordid nights when she works her real job, does the clean-up that no one else wants to do.

She thinks she hears the girl say something, shaken out of her fear into anger, the way the words come out with a bite. Wonyoung looks up, sees the way the girl has steeled herself, eyes narrowed.

"What is it?" Wonyoung says, and her voice is too high, not practiced, not still and confident enough. Enough vulnerability, enough of the unexpected, seeps out in her voice that she's immediately ashamed, immediately wishing she never bothered at all and swung the axe down.

She looks the girl in the eye. There's a resolute confidence in the girl's gaze, the way she looks at Wonyoung and sees right through her.

The girl opens her mouth and out comes something unforgivable, something Wonyoung only hears the edges of.

You. I always knew it was you doing this.

Wonyoung drags the axe behind her and plunges it forward.

There's few ways to make it in this industry and Wonyoung thinks she has learned them all quite well.

She stands poised on the stage, lips lifted in one part a smile and the other a pout as one of her group mates pokes fun at her. She blinks and flutters her eyelashes to an audience of cloying fans, tilts her head to feign embarrassment.

She doesn't think about the night prior, about the nameless girl she had to track down, that she had to find alone and primed for the end of her axe. She doesn't think about her final, resolute words, how she always knew it was her.

Wonyoung dances on stage and doesn't think about the girl in the form of a too-light body she had to drag with her too-skinny hands wrapped around the backs of the body's ankles. She doesn't think about the edge of a river and fitting the body in it with a dirty axe, watching the pieces fall to the bottom, cleaning the end of her axe with river water. She doesn't think about how the blood even reached the ribbon in her hair, left over from her stage that day, hair in pigtails and lips a cherry red.

Of course it had to have been her, right? Of course it had to be the girl they malign and mirror and admire and fear. Of course it had to be her, she agrees, because who else would do a job like pruning the edges of the industry when people get too loud?

She dances and plays her part and doesn't think about it but she does, because she can't stop herself in the following days, every time, can't stop the unbidden thoughts of the nights before where she again played her part and did what no one wants to speak about.

Wonyoung catches the gaze of one of her group mates, the one their fans always love to put her with, because of their last group. She smiles something fierce and keeps her eyes on her as her group mate does a suggestive move, herself suggesting something in her eyes that the fans will zero in on.

Clean-up duty. It's the worst of the industry that have the luxury of not thinking about it. Perhaps that makes her the best, then.

this was so interesting!!! "Of course it had to be her, she agrees, because who else would do a job like pruning the edges of the industry when people get too loud?" damn

thank you so much! this one was a lot of fun!

wow this concept is incredible!!! i love how it plays into the way wonyoung is perceived and loved and hated for being good at her (idol) job. and also the way that she's had to harden herself to cope with that level of attention and scrutiny. there's a lot of great lines here - "there's a lot that wonyoung doesn't feel anymore," "She doesn't think about how the blood even reached the ribbon in her hair, left over from her stage that day, hair in pigtails and lips a cherry red."

horror but in a really beautiful way because it's Her. i love it!!

THANK YOUUUU i ran with this idea as soon as i got it and had SO much fun with it. wonyoung and everything about and around her, it's all so fascinating and enchanting... thank you so much again :)
