5 : ideal type

"Woah woah woah... what are those" Youngeun pointed at the trucks lined up in front of the gates. The delivery guys were lifting huge boxes towards the house beside theirs. Jia who slept in Planet Girls' dorm wasn't shocked at all. Do Kyungsoo send all of these things? Inside the boxes are different instruments, mainly different keyboard models. You suggested that having different piano types will make music more natural sounding than using software and VSTs to change the sound of piano keys.





The CEO wants to see improvements within the group. He also wants all of the members' creativity in music to skyrocket. He sent a lot of instruments, recording essentials, and more to keep all of you practicing at home. The pandemic was still up so it was better to minimize going out.





"You can create your own music and when it's done, I still need to check it... note that your music can be included on your debut album," he told the group.





You were excited about this producing thing. Although you haven't tried producing songs before and studied piano for about 10 years, you want to expand your talent more. You like watching tutorials and you like to explore on your own at the same time. You got no 'natural' talent, you worked hard for them.





"Omo... I wish he's our CEO too" Suyeon whined. "He looks dedicated to debuting a group"





"Our CEO already planned the things we need to do as well. He mentioned that if we get casted on an acting project, we need to decline it whether it's a big project or not. Even MC-ing is not allowed yet. He advised us that multitasking while being an idol is stressful. He told us we can't act, MC, and guest in not-so-important shows but we can create our own show. I don't know what he means but we're free"





"Free? So... you can post anything on your social media accounts and even on YouTube?" Kim Dayeon asked. Everyone watching on the balcony was shocked because PLANET GIRLS aren't that 'free'. They are completely controlled by the management.





"Yes. Sajang-nim never told me to delete my Instagram account. If we post something wrong, we should be accountable for what we've done, so we need confirmation first. I'm planning on creating a vlog soon... and I heard Y/n unnie's going to produce some music?" Xiaoting's sleeping mind woke up at what Jia has said. "Jinjja? I never saw her touch other instruments excluding piano before"





"You two are really friends, huh?" Yurina asked on her side. Xiaoting bit her lip while nodding her head. I mean, she's not wrong tho. The both of you start by being 'friends'





"Hmm, but we're not in a good condition right now. We've never seen each other for almost a year so it's awkward" she sadly sighed. "But I will try to talk to her soon"





"Of course, you should unnie. She looks shocked after seeing you yesterday. She also mentioned she hadn't watched the show because she was busy studying then practicing?" Doah leaned on the railings of the balcony. "She's not that well developed before, I admit, but I think now... she's over my expectations. She was casted by SM and I'm sure she improved a lot"





"She's so good! We saw her perform yesterday" Jia shook Doah. "She looked like she debuted already, she looks professional. She can sing stably while breaking apples"





"Oh wow, she's on the next level then..." Yurina complimented.





"And she looks so pretty while dancing. And oh, she can fit any concept but she told us she doesn't want to dance in heels so she joined this project. We all hate dancing in heels in the group" Jia chuckled. "She hates wearing heels... she's probably gay" Dayeon excitedly punched the air. "Kim Doah scored" she then nudged Doah.





"Real gay... Ruiqi and Dayeon unnie said she smells like men's cologne. Or is it her boyfriend's?"





"She never had a boyfriend, but she did like a lot of female celebrities" Xiaoting protested. "She even liked a girl in our school before" she lied, she was talking about herself.





"Then she's really gay... Kim Doah, I challenge you" Suyeon held both of Doah's shoulders. "What are you thinking? I saw her first" Doah pushed Suyeon's hands. "Well, it doesn't matter who saw her first... 'feelings' matter" Suyeon placed her hands in front of Doah's heart. "Don't touch that part, it's weird"





"Xiaoting unnie! As Yang Y/n's long-time friend, who do you think suits her the best between me and Doah" Suyeon asked the older. On Xiaoting's side, it's awkward because first, you're her fiancée and second, you told her you will never like someone older or younger than you.

"What's your ideal type?" A 20-year-old Xiaoting asked you. The both of you were at your house, watching this newly released movie. "You" your simple answer made her all red. "No, a person's traits and characteristics..."





"Shen Xiaoting's traits and characteristics" Xiaoting sat up. She was resting her head on your lap earlier. It's her habit and it's your talent. You can sit in the same position on the couch for 24 hours and she would lay her head down on your lap. You were never busy before unlike now.






"Hey, answer me seriously"





"Why are you asking that? We all know at the end of the day I'm going to marry you. You're asking me what's my ideal type like we're going to break up soon... are you planning on leaving me, huh?" You crossed your arms, glaring at her. "No, it's not like that. I'm just asking you what you liked about me" you thought about it for a second before answering her question. For you, there's no 'ideal type', you only liked one person in your entire life romantically and it's your best friend.





"Well, I like someone who looks like Shen Xiaoting, kind like Shen Xiaoting, cute like Shen Xiaoting, tall like Shen Xiaoting, caring and thoughtful like Shen Xiaoting, and someone who's the same age as me like Shen Xiaoting"





Xiaoting perfectly remembers your answer. In conclusion, you can never like anyone else who isn't Shen Xiaoting. "She likes... uhm, she likes someone kind... I guess?" She replied to the younger ones. Note that both of them are 4 years younger than you.





"What about the age? Are we qualified?" Doah was aware of the age gap but you don't look like a person who takes advantage of age tho. "I don't know... ask her, maybe? Y/n liked one of our classmates in school so I don't know her age preference"





"Omo, lucky girl. What happened to them? Did she confess?" Jia curiously asked. Xiaoting was getting uncomfortable because she's not the type of person who lies about her life. "I don't know... Y/n gave up on liking her I guess? She focused on training" the girls nodded, buying what Xiaoting has said.





"But hey unnie, if we're not busy anymore... you can set Y/n and Doah up" Youngeun nudged Xiaoting. "Hey! What about me?" Suyeon pouted while pointing at herself.





"Go get your own girl, Doah unnie saw her first" Youngeun stuck her tongue at Suyeon. "You- just because you got Jia beside you I can't kick you right now" Suyeon threatened. "Hey hey, calm down. Look" Doah pointed to something on the other house. It was you in your pajamas, your eyes were puffy.





"What happened to her eyes?" Doah worriedly asked. "How can she still look so fine with swollen eyes" Suyeon fanned herself. "Hey, stop it" Doah nudged her. "Why? I'm just saying she's pretty... are you possessive now, huh?"





"I'm just protecting her from you-"





"Yah-"

































Y/n's POV





"That's what you get from crying over a drama" Dayeon pointed at your eyes. "Why did you emote so much tho? It's not like Yoon Seri will die, they're the main characters, they don't die right away" She added.





"It's not like that, unnie. I cried hard while watching that too" Ruiqi rubbed your shoulders. "And Y/n must be a crybaby" she teased. "I'm not... I just got emotional on that part" Ruiqi knows why you cried hard. It was about Xiaoting, but thankfully the group was watching an emotional scene so you let it all out so they won't get suspicious. Hikaru was worried at first because you were crying your heart out. Jia was not in the house so she never know.





"I hate her" you mumbled unpredictably. The three girls by your side-eyed you. Ruiqi's eyes widened because she knows.





"What unnie?" Hikaru asked that snap your thoughts. "H-Huh? Oh, I hate Yoon Seri for dodging the bullet" you sighed as you almost got caught. You slowly turn to Ruiqi and it looks like she's holding her breath. You look behind her head and saw the other girls on the balcony of the other house. Your eyes automatically landed on Xiaoting's. You immediately grabbed Dayeon's hat and wore it. "I'll return this later, thanks"





Ruiqi's POV





Jia went home early because the girls got to their schedules. My group don't have schedules for today so we stayed at home, unboxing the gifts our CEO sent us.




"Electric guitar? Who plays this?" Hikaru asked. "I can" I heard Y/n.





"How about this slap bass?" Dayeon pulled out the thing. "I can" Y/n replied once again.





"There are so many piano keyboards" Jia counted the rectangular boxes. "We got 20 different types of piano keyboards plus that Grand Piano in the living room"





"Sajang-nim is jinjja rich" Hikaru was in awe. "Let's unbox the individual boxes" Dayeon lifted hers as she set them down on the table. "It looks like the one we unboxed at the camp," I told them. Girls Planet 999 traumatized me, I will never join any show again.





"Oh, yeah. It's the same" Hikaru opened hers revealing some clothes with Company logo prints. "But this is cuter because we got out initials printed" Hikaru showed the backside of the shirt. "Feels like Girls Planet"





"I never watched those... I think I should watch it later" I heard Y/n say. "All the episodes, unnie?" Jia asked. "Hmm, I can watch it overnight"





"But Planet Girls invited us for BBQ later" Ah, I almost forgot about that. Xiaoting invited us to have some Barbecues later. She probably wants to talk to Y/n again.





"Sorry, tell them I can't"





"Awae?" Jia asked. She's ignoring Xiaoting huh. "Tell them I will watch Girls Planet later so I can get to know them"





"But you can get to know us personally, unnie" Hikaru complained. "Our CEO assigned me to do something else too. He said I need to watch the show so I could pick other girls who will debut with us, remember?"





Ah... yesterday, our CEO told her to watch the show so she can pick without being biased. She doesn't know most of us so the CEO told her to.





"Oh yeah... I will tell them about that" Dayeon assured her. "Have you chosen anyone now? I saw you watched the first episode earlier" Hikaru nudged her. "I picked all of the Boombayah members at the moment... it's crazy no one got in especially you, Hikaru. That performance is the best"





"Awe, thanks unnie" Hikaru hugged Y/n. "If the Boombayah members got in, I will make them my daughters"





"Then I'm one of your daughters now?" Hikaru asked. "What about me, unnie?" Jia asked. I forgot they are 2004 liners, I feel old. "Both of you are my daughters"





"Who's our other mom?" Jia asked. Y/n looks bothered, she turns to me all of the sudden. I feel like she knows that I know about her and Xiaoting unnie.





"Why are you looking at Ruiqi unnie? Is it Ruiqi unnie?" Jia covered her mouth. "Not her" she replied.





"I'm fine with Doah unnie" Jia suggested. "Doah?"





"Hmm, the both of you kinda look good together" Jia added. Y/n looked at me once again. She wriggled her eyebrows, is she telling me to...





"Y/n unnie and Xiaoting unnie would look good together," I told them. The room was filled with gasps. "Unnie! Have you forgotten Xiaoting unnie and Yurina unnie are dating?!" Hikaru covered her mouth. I turn to Y/n and she's gritting her teeth.





"Oh yeah... well, I'm just saying they look good. But yeah... Doah and Y/n unnie as well... I think?" I feel suffocated in this situation. I wish I never knew so I would not get involved.





"Oh and earlier... Suyeon unnie is arguing with Doah about Y/n unnie" Jia shook her head. "I never thought Suyeon would like girls. She's too girly like girly-girly" Dayeon scratched her head. "But girly girls are the gayest" Jia cackled. "I mean, look at Sana sunbaenim"





"Anyways... who do you find attractive the most, unnie?" Jia asked Y/n once again. "Doah or Suyeon" I can see Y/n is uncomfortable as well. "Well... I don't know them much, I still need to watch the show so I can reply to your answer" Jia slumped her back. "Awe, watch it, palli palli" she suddenly drag Y/n towards the couch and opened the television.





As it lit up, the show was paused on the Boombayah team's performance.





"Omo, Kotone my daughter" Y/n squealed. "I miss Rei, she's my daughter too" I heard Dayeon beside me.





I wonder who are the next members.





But for now, I wonder if our group will shine.
