girlsfest | Round 2: Visual

Prompts should be based on a visual medium that isn't text. For example, it could be a moment between the idols that you want to be expanded, it could be a scenario with other people, or a moodboard of aesthetics you'd like to match the fic.

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.

Overseas trips often take a toll on Minjeong. Innumerable hours on a plane, restless tossing and turning in a cramped seat, faux kindness of stewardesses, how famished she is once she steps off—it all mixes into one maddening cocktail she forces down her throat when her schedule demands.

And, it is quite demanding now that there is a contract for a Céline brand ambassadorship filed in a cabinet, somewhere at the company. Minjeong is expected to be present at fashion shows, afterparties, promotions, and photoshoots, as per the requirements written in a thirty five page document, and she couldn’t be less thrilled.

Being stranded in the air for fourteen hours, then shoved into a stuffy car, where reprieve comes in the form of a bitter painkiller before hands descend her body, ripping off her warm, baggy clothes to jostle her into a sleek, silk dress, the aftertaste of hairspray on her tongue, and pink powder in her nose from the wild strokes of a makeup brush, as she is pampered for the show she is late to—is Minjeong’s worst nightmare.

But, she endures. The blur of bodies, the cacophony of raucous noise, blinding flashes of cameras, and the whirlwind of silk, sequins, and tulle—all burning sensations swarming her weary mind, and weary body, that Minjeong can’t shake off, she endures.

Because, after every show, in the gaggle of people seething some underground Parisian club for the afterparty, Minjeong will find her. She never questions where she is dragging her away to, the hand latched tightly to her lower back warm yet rough against her bare skin, because they always end up at the same place.

Ning Yizhuo has a penchant for hookups in dark, sleazy, and graffitied bathrooms. Who would’ve thought the seraphic-faced supermodel loves to bruise her knees on old, tiled floors? Minjeong certainly didn’t. Until, she witnessed the sight first hand.

It is a frantic endeavor of broken locks, torn lace tights, sharp teeth, spit, and come. Minjeong often remembers only the foggy, sharpie-scrawled mirrors and Yizhuo’s head between her legs. But, she never complains.

Yizhuo soothes Minjeong’s violent, splitting headaches better than a white pill ever could. Even when the pain returns, as dusk turns to dawn and she is boarding the next plane back to Korea, Minjeong endures. Because, Ning Yizhuo will always find her when she lands.
