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 fic is not meant to be any form of promotion or support for either of their groups, even though I really miss my silly 04 hanlimz with their cute eye smiles who I think do not dislike each other in reality. In this fic, Suhye is unaware that Daeul’s contract is only for Boys Planet.)
-
Kim Suhye does not, cannot, will not like Lee Daeul.
She hadn’t thought much of him when he was a round-faced musical theatre student she saw rough-housing with his friends in-between classes at school. Slamming face first into him as she rounds the corner to her vocal practice room is a different story, though.
“What are you doing here?” Suhye tries, and does not quite succeed, to sound cordial.
Daeul frowns, which is definitely not the hurried apology that she had been expecting, but she does her best to smooth her face out into a neutral expression — she’s been told to work on image after all.
“I’m a trainee here?”
Suhye feels her heart plummet, swept down to her feet together with the bucket of icy cold water that he might as well have poured over her head. She hasn’t even had the chance to debut yet. And, everyone knows what they say about small/mid-tier companies and impending boy groups.
When she comes to, Daeul is still talking.
“I was looking for you, actually,” she hears him say, “I was told that I could get some extra vocal coaching from you—”
“No.”
“What?” He looks so genuinely flabbergasted that it gives the impression that he doesn’t get told ‘no’ often. It makes Suhye dislike him all the more. Stupid, entitled, boy—
“I’m busy. I’m preparing for an EP.” She considers him, the slackness of his jaw that betrays his surprise, and quickly adds, “We’re all busy. Don’t bother asking the others.”
“B- But…” Daeul casts his eyes skyward, as if she’s somehow testing his patience when he’s the one going around demanding things.
Suhye grits her teeth, before relaxing into something a little more neutral when his eyes come down. All she is is assessing the potential damage when she says, “I didn’t know that new trainees were coming. Is it just you?”
“Oh, uh, me and Junseo. But he’s not here today—”
Suhye brushes past him, her shoulder nearly knocking into his as she heads to the practice room, before slamming the door shut behind her as she goes. She’s heard enough.
Suddenly, Lee Daeul is everywhere.
Suhye sees him in school, eyes fixed on her instead of whatever he’s meant to be doing at the moment, and around the company, always headed somewhere. She thinks she’s caught him glaring a few times, stupid ego probably hurt by the fact that she has more important things to do than give him help for free.
“What’s your problem?” He asks her once, his words sharp and snappish when she flings open the door to their shared dance practice room. He doesn’t even bother pausing the music that’s blaring through the speakers, eyes still fixed on the mirror.
“I have practice,” Suhye replies, because she does. “Get out.” They’re past being nice to one another.
“I booked the studio—”
Suhye looks past him, deliberately letting her eyes linger on the electronic clock on the wall. “No, you didn’t.”
Daeul whirls around, the sudden flurry of his movement nearly throwing him off balance. Suhye can’t help the little smile that creeps onto her lips as she watches him flounder.
“It’s only been a minute since my slot ended,” Daeul says, petulance lining the edge of his voice.
“Which means mine has begun.”
Daeul looks squarely at her, his expression unreadable from this distance. Then, he rolls his eyes and stalks off, yanking his phone from the sound system in a way that causes the speakers to crackle.
Suhye clicks her tongue in annoyance. “Don’t do that, we need to take care of the equipment.”
“You’re not any better than me just because you were here first,” he growls, pointedly ignoring her prior comment. He’s practically stomping as he leaves the practice room. How childish.
Suhye glares at his back. “Says the one who asked me for help!”
A reply never comes, leaving Suhye left to stand in the middle of the now empty practice room, which reeks of sweaty boy and body odor. She frowns to herself, irked by how unsatisfied his reaction leaves her since she’d totally owned him.
Her words hang in the air around her. They feel hollow, especially because she knows that Daeul isn’t wrong. She loathes to admit it, and will never do so out loud, but even with an upcoming EP release and a slew of pre-debut content guaranteed, there’s no promise that that won’t be the end of it. Daeul’s very existence suggests an ending to a career that hasn’t even begun. Even when Shiro unnie and Yeseo return, it’s not difficult for girls to be cast aside in favor of shiny new boys.
Re: [FILL] boy problems
yes!! i don't know either of them/didn't watch either show, but this is exactly the kind of look at being a new idol i was hoping for >:) not even in (pre)debut is there any kind of short term safety for a gg if there's even a hint of a boy group in the works... happened to my buddy [scrolls down the disbanded gg list on kprofiles]
thank you for writing!
