𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀/𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. (prelude yuna ff)

y'all new ff time lmaoo.

i thought that three dumps last month might've made ends meet for ppl waiting for it so yea let's try to make new content owo.

s/n: this is a oneshot prelude to yuna or another member's au happening soon so there won't be new chapters for this. au means this ain't real fam lmfaoo.

Its been sixteen hours since I've last stood from my chair. The last thing I ate was a slice of cold pizza, which was eight hours ago I think. I don't know if this is right, but I don't seem to be bothered with it. This app is making me stay here, waiting for a message. Even though nothing has changed on the posts from the past few hours except s ing some pictures of their stanned artists, I kept on refreshing it, hoping a message notification pops up.

Have you ever heard of Buddies? Well if you haven't I'll tell you all about it.

Basically it's an app that will connect you to a variety of things you're interested in like sports, music, art, poetry, or whatever. The best thing is that its in separate groups so you can in a group that you share interests with. You can talk with them, watch videos with them, post different kinds of content and appreciate other's works too.

Want a group that has K-pop stans in it? Well there's a lot of thread in it, but sometimes the others are really dead because its either being managed terribly or the s are terrible.

I've been in this community for a while after being a failure in some things (dancing, studying, basically some other irl things) and all I can say is it's a blast. The people are amazing, the moderation team is amazing, the content is amazing, et cetera. There's nothing bad about it. I got a bit of a reputation in here for posting content that well, no one does so I guess doing them kinda gave me a bit of a following from people. It's not something inappropriate tho, it's just some funny pictures.

Everything seemed fun until the group suddenly went awry. The moderation team were totally non-existent, the friends I made were slowly going away, everyone isn't that active, and some people are shifting to other groups that are more interesting and active, I guess.

After seeing my last friend go and leave the group, I entered a state where I was thinking they'd come back so I'm still here, never considered of leaving. I was still pouring in content, despite people not caring about it anymore. It seemed like a fad now but it's what I dearly loved of doing so I didn't stop. Not all things last forever so I thought of leaving too.

I had this thought a month ago because nobody even gets in to the group anymore. I've even changed my name to indicate I've left but its all a ruse so it either means I'm just being pathetic and will come back for a few days or yes I'm really leaving.

Interesting fact is that the last that ed was from a month and a half ago. Guess what, they weren't even active. I can understand them since the online s average from around five to ten per day so who would even stay. Probably me.

You might be thinking "You thought of leaving a month ago, why are you still there?"

The answer is, well I made a new friend.

When I first met her she seemed to be very new, as she looked confused with the app. She entered the group chat I was in and I was surprised someone talked in there, her.

She introduced herself which looked funny since everyone seems to be doing that not in a form of a blog or some sorts, but in the group chat.

"hello everyone! im yuna. can someone help me with this app?"

The funniest thing is that if someone responded. There were only like three people online that day. I wonder who will respond, me or my dummy or herself.

Yes I have a dummy . I use it to farm coins. I do it 24/7 because nobody cares anyway.

I used my dummy to respond, and told her about the app. I don't know but I felt kinda happy because it broke the monotony of the group chat. Nobody talked in there except the casual and blank hi's. I usually don't respond to those cos they either ghost me or just say more dry things.

She responded with probably the most wholesome message I've received in a while.

"oh thank you! now it's all clear. from now on i'll call you master"

"haahahahahahah wtf"

Yeah what the frick indeed.

I don't really know why I found it wholesome tho. Like I've said its prolly because the group has been dead and no one ain't willing to continue a discussion on chats.

Well I began teaching her the basics like what's up with the chatrooms, posting content, giving the basic content to read on which was a perfect opportunity to promote my trashy memes.

It was rare to see someone enjoying on this group after all these months of inactivity. Needless to say, its making me want to be a bit active in here again.

She seemed to be that new that wants to show she can be devoted to this group. She began posting creative blogs that are definitely eye-catching. She also did some vocal and dance covers from time to time.

Its not just me that she indirectly urged to post more content, but the other s too. People seem to have cared about the group suddenly. The top posts were getting stacked with blogs that's worth of reading or seeing. The group is slowly going back on its feet.

Although I barely talked with them, but I had a chat with the moderation team to bring back some noteworthy recognition events like member of the week and stuff to keep the group's rising popularity again. They agreed but I don't know when would that happen since you know, they're not that active in this group anymore.

I found it surprising that they brought back some of the events that were held before and just like that, this group is alive and kicking again. I guess I can say its all thanks to Yuna.

She's the group's core all of a sudden. Everyone seemed bummed or dead when she's not around but that's very rare since its like she's not sleeping and her phone must've been soldered to the outlet as she seems to not be offline for a single second. Time ed and she managed to be the most popular in here in a short period of time as everyone seems to follow her and befriend her, even the moderation team.

Of course that also kicks in my activity in here. We happen to talk like 24/7 with endless topics. We'd often talk about K-pop songs then it'll suddenly go to a conversation of baby food.

Often times we'd call on chats and just sing for no reason and because of that, it's been a new found hobby. We'd often joke about training to become a K-pop star but we often just scoff it off.

She's kind of ive too, like she'd often tell me I got a huge chance of getting accepted. Laughable is the best word I can use to describe it.

Everything was fun and amazing again, but we already know this by now and its that everything isn't permanent.

After being active for months, she suddenly started to be inactive. She's either gonna drop by in the chats to say she's busy or just say dry hi's. Everyone is also wondering why did she become inactive all of a sudden. They began theorizing whether she finally auditioned and got accepted or got kidnapped. I theorized with them and my theory is just she's probably busy with school work.

It caused a domino effect in the group too as the group looks like its going back to its natural state, being dead. Everyone is also being inactive, blogs are going thin, and chats are also going quiet.

I continued whatever I'm doing in there to suspend my disbelief as I still believe the group is still active. Its really hurting me to see it fall again.

I that dreaded day, April 13th. A message suddenly came in my chats which came as a shock since everything looks dead again and it came from Yuna which is a bigger surprise than anything else.

"heyy! how are things going? sorry for being so inactive."

I immediately replied asking her where she'd been.

"where have u been? did u get kidnapped lool"

She didn't reply for ten minutes, and I think I was off the phone when she replied. I got back with pizza in my clutches and I saw her messages. I was literally surprised.

"this may be my last messages"

"ive been thinking about this for weeks but ive made my decision"

"im kinda going away now"

" those dance covers i posted? someone have seen it and they were asking me if i wanna train with their company and possibly debut"

"i checked to see if theyre legit and its very legit! ive been trying to finish my course early the past few months so i can train immediately without having to go to their nationwide audition next month"

"so yeah less phone time ig"

"u look dead :("

"idk if ill be back but i may! thank you for the good times! i hope we see each other soon. you may not know this but u were one of my true friends in here i hated to let go. stay happy cos i will try to be too! seeya master :)"

I was kinda tearful about it. Another friend leaving. I have conflicting thoughts. Should I leave? Should I stay? I don't know anymore.

I was just staring at my screen, then tried writing a message to reply to her.

I fumbled with words, trying to send the best that I can write.

"thanks for making my days fun in here, i really hope u return soon. also i got one question, what's the agency tho? cos i may consider auditioning"

What did I just say I dont frickin' know. There's this side of me that's saying I sounded like a creep in there. I'm getting flustered with what's happening at the moment.

I don't know if I'm making the right choices now. I've failed too much with everything I loved and I'm about to make another risk just because of a friend I've met online that I'm afraid to lose again.

I also thought of losing this app if I pursued it too. I don't wanna lose this too. I don't wanna say it as an addiction but I feel like I can't live without this app. I don't know what to call it.

I thought of just taking note of the company name for future pursuits so I waited for her reply.

Minutes later I saw an indicator show up on the screen that Yuna is typing. I was kind of excited to see her type something but it looks like she's typing something long as she's been typing for a solid minute now.

Looks like I'll be seeing some novel from her minutes later so I guess waiting for it might not hurt my time.

so that's it for the ff today!

did y'all get it? lmfaoo sorry if it confused y'all. i could've presented it better by simulating messages too but i kinda didn't have more time for that.

like i've said, this is a prelude to another ff coming soon which may be connected to this one so yeah lmfaoo.

ps. buddies ain't real and so are the people or s mentioned in the ff. the app inspiration can be drawn to similar community based apps i guess.
