I was wondering who had requested to use the pool for filming today. We'd been told we could use it as long as it didn't interfere with the filming. Hobi, Tae-tae, and I were curious, so we went to check it out.
Today we are free to use our time as we wish. After lunch we will go try on some outfits and makeup for the upcoming presentations and photos, but that was all we had to do today.
These days, with the building changes, it's easier for us to do our activities, since there are now far fewer than usual, but we work more on our music and prepare our presentations better.
Yoongi was sleeping peacefully this morning, and Hobi said it was best to give him some space at least until a decision was made. We did what we could to help him... he's probably struggling with a loss of connection to reality because, for our own safety, we don't meet new people often.
This time she's like a shadow to us, she lives here, works with us and the company's artists, she worked on our team, she worked on her own the other day... I think she's a good person, but sometimes Baby easily becomes the center of attention and that's not supposed to happen, at least not in the few days she's been here.
We discovered that Baby was the one who had rented the space; her representative was with her, helping with a bundle that seemed heavy, and she was carrying a suitcase that she rolled behind her without problems.
"It's full of surprises... I didn't know someone would rent a place with us hanging around. After the late-night call, Namjoonie received an email telling us there would be cameras in the hotel today, but that it was okay if we were in the recording because the company was going to review the footage when it was finished... I thought it was related to us, but apparently not," Hoseok said.
"And will the company be providing the venue? Because renting a space with us in the... must be extremely expensive, not to mention the cute babies she's taking out of her luggage," Taehyung commented, amazed at the cameras she had, and instantly let Kooky know with a message.
She took the camera mount and revealed a sober black swimsuit that really suits her body, she went into the water to place it where she wanted and her representative while holding the camera for her, until she called him to submerge it in the water and install it easily.
We had seen something like this done several times before, but usually the technician is prepared with oxygen tanks; however, she did it herself, and quickly. She placed a second and third camera on the surface so Baby could see the entire pool, both above and below the water.
Her manager left her alone, asking something in another language before she signaled him to leave. Baby stayed behind, arranging more things on her own. She opened her laptop and began checking that everything was ready and working, trying not to get the computer wet as she went in and out of the water to adjust the camera's focus and walked around in front of the lens, making movements to check the field of view and whether it was sharp.
While she was doing all this, the members became interested and came to sit and watch. Even our sleepy friend came wearing sunglasses. Jungkook, despite his shyness, decided to ask her about it when he came to check the monitors, which turned out to be her computer and a tablet. Her phone, with a small speaker, would provide the music. She happily explained everything to him and to Taehyung, who was actually very curious and went to say hello and offer his help.
Baby filmed herself dancing freely so the footage could help her choreograph in the future and so she could edit videos for her resume. The company is going to review all the content from the process tonight, so it's okay if we happen to be in the recording.
The boys helped fix the picture, and she took a towel from the pile the hotel had brought for her use. When the brunette felt she was dry enough, she took a red dress out of her luggage. Now everything was pure red. The dress was sleeveless but fitted to her body from her shoulders to her waist, and the bottom was a large, round skirt that completely covered her legs. She wore black pointe shoes so as not to hurt her feet dancing around the pool.
I was surprised when her setlist started with one of my solos; the guitar arrangement at the beginning is very unique and memorable. Her movements were very classic, using her dancer's style. The song seemed different, and Baby looked comfortable with it.
I have mixed feelings watching her move like that... using a song I created that already had a choreography, but her movements were grand and romantic, making that dress hypnotic, and the guys operating the cameras didn't know if she looked better live or on screen.
Some of our songs played while he was dancing, others made our leader curious and he went to look up the name to add it to the music list to listen to later.
After half an hour of her sweet presence, more music came on, the kind you could hear on any radio or entertainment channel here. She moved a little closer to the water, dancing up and down the pool steps, trying not to get her dress too wet. As she started, our youngest member looked up to watch her pirouettes. We saw her pick up the pace, and at just the right moment, almost at the end of a song, she jumped with a beautiful split into the water, almost in the center of the underwater camera's frame. We moved closer to see the underwater image that V was controlling from the tablet she was holding next to us.
Baby landed smoothly at the bottom of the pool and must have known the next song perfectly as she danced and swam all over the place, moving in and out of the water to breathe, all in time with the music, regardless of the lyrics, focusing solely on the instrumental part. She continued to use the strong beat to powerfully propel herself out, splashing water here and there, while Jungkook played with the camera controls, narrowing the frame and centering the image. Taehyung monitored the situation, ensuring we got the best perspective from all three cameras.
She said she'd finished what she'd planned, but she had permission to use the area until noon. She took the cameras out to dry and turned them off to save battery in case she wanted to film anything else outside the water, because it takes them a while to dry enough to carry back to her room and clean properly.
She would send the recordings later, while she ate, because it takes her a while to upload the files to send them since she never hands over the cards she has; bad luck trusting companies at first.
Baby P/V:
The guys asked a lot of questions about what they'd seen and how they'd helped. I was really lucky to spend time with them because they're the busiest and we don't get to work together often. Today was my first day off until noon tomorrow. At that time, the company will tell me if I'll keep working here or go back to where I came from.
"You worked hard, so don't worry, anyone who sees what you did today will want to hire you, at least I would... I really need to improve my dance skills," Jin said, gently patting my head.
"I hope so... it's the first time I've been unable to do almost anything on a work trip. I can't visit the city for security reasons, I can't even go out, shop freely, or observe people around me to see how this country treats foreigners like me... and a ton of other things I normally do in my free time. I've spent so much time in my room just sleeping or listening to music that I was starting to dream about her and it was driving me crazy, so I decided to get it out," I explained.
I was getting cold so I gathered everything to go change. They invited me to join them for lunch because they had a light job afterwards and politely asked their representative if I could go and watch.
We went upstairs, and the younger ones helped me carry my cameras and things to my room and insisted I accept their invitation to spend the afternoon with them. I couldn't refuse their cute pouty faces trying to convince me; even just imagining the situation, I'd probably be out of line.
I dressed in something warm and casual while I sent the files and cleaned the cameras. All of that took more than an hour to get ready, and I went down to the lobby to wait for the guys. It was only eleven o'clock, and I hadn't asked how early they wanted to go out to lunch. I'd decided to join them, so I texted Suga to tell him I'd be waiting for them in the lobby.
