found families (a chuang family special)

Summary:

in 2023, every active group from the chuang family had graduated, and members went off to celebrate relatively successful solo careers and even some group careers afterwards. in 2024, a year after into1's disbandment, the organization behind chuang decided that they would restart the chuang groups legacy, but in thailand. qiao yi yu, after debuting as the center and leader of the thailand-based group gen1es from chuang asia 2024, is lost -- because every center and leader before her has had the active groups before it to look up to and learn from (into1 went to a r1se concert very soon after they debuted even! she is quite jealous.) in a last ditch attempt after gen1es’ 100 day anniversary to learn what it means to be a center and a leader in a chaotic-as-hell chuang group, qiao yi yu gathers the former centers in a group chat and asks her multi-talented predecessors for advice. little does she know, this causes a chain reaction that repairs relationships throughout the chuang groups far and wide, brings the chuang groups together, and of course: teaches qiao yi yu not only what it means to be a chuang group idol, but also what a found family is.

Notes:

in my head it one hundred and ten percent makes sense that into1 is still in contact. like nine is so active on everything and i feel like he and zhang jiayuan would want people to stay in contact. it just makes sense. i think maybe there are a few of them that aren’t talking to each other anymore outside of the groupchat, but overall into1 is still the most overall active. i would say none of the other groups are very active anymore, but i can imagine some people from r1se and bbg303 still talking to each other. also i imagine xilin as someone who is probably chronically online. also meng meiqi probably does not know how to use the internet still. i imagine wjjw idols (from r1se mainly) are still in contact with each other. and i imagine zxw (r1se) and ycy (rg101) are still friends!

[we are super-one!]

GAO sound: good MORNING guys!! react if you are alive. i miss you. 

(10 reactions)

old waist: miss you too, hope all the film schedules are going well for a lot of you. 

(4 reactions)

paipai: thank you ge!

 

[fish lover created a new group! fish lover added mik1, no waist, xiling, and opera queen. fish lover renamed the group “operation: help qyy”]

 

[operation: help qyy]

fish lover: hey guys, i just wanted to ask everyone about being a center or chuang group leader! we haven’t debuted yet but i wanted to make sure i knew everything i could first, so i was wondering if i could ask you all for help! thank you so so much, and no worries if you all are busy!!

no waist: you haven’t debuted yet?

fish lover: no…

xiling: yeah that’s pretty weird ngl lmao

opera queen: oh hi everyone! i’m liu yu by the way. 

no waist: i think who is who is obvious [crying emoji]

(xiling reacted with thumbs up)

opera queen: i have no waist too so no it’s not obvious

(xiling reacted with crying emoji)

no waist: yeah but i don’t do beijing opera [crying emoji]

mik1: hi yiyu! is there anything you would like to know in specific?

fish lover: ahh thank you meiqi-jie! for being a center, i know that often times we start the songs and then the other members come in order of ranking. have you all had any issues with line distributions because of that for the other members and is there anything that we have to watch out for? i feel like they take the rankings too seriously. 

(3 reactions)

xiling: i think it is true that the center usually starts the song, but for bonbongirls since we only had seven members we were more liberal with it. usually depends on the vibe. after the center, it’s kind of up in the air who comes next?

opera queen: speaking from personal experience for 11 members i think curley’s right cause we had many songs where keyu would go before zjy too

mik1: agree with both of those. we’ve had issues with line distrib but usually can ask for it to be switched on b-sides to be more fair

fish lover: awh thanks you all!

no waist: what’s a line distribution

mik1: oh shut up zhou zhennan

fish lover: and uhm, this is a more like leader-based question, but we haven’t had any major fights yet and i was wondering what the leaders do when people fight? 

mik1: i don’t think we had that many fights! yamy was a great leader and made sure we all were treated well!

xiling: if you turn the fight into a pillow fight it usually works out i’m telling you

opera queen: curley ur a genius

xiling: thanks i know!!

no waist: dude i think that would actually make it worse

xiling: what…how

no waist: it just increases the sexual tension

mik1: sexual… tension?

no waist: rocketgirls was straight af y’all really wouldn’t know

(xiling, opera queen reacted with laughing)

mik1: what

opera queen: he said what he said

xiling: yaurrrrr

fish lover: wait i don’t want to have to deal with sexual tension come on guys please tell me it’s not that common

xiling: if your group is small enough it won’t be a big issue

no waist:

opera queen: and if your group is straight enough like rg101 it won’t be an issue at all!

no waist:

fish lover: goddammit, is it over for me?

(xiling reacted with crying)

xiling: let us know if you need anything else though, okay? we’re here for you! and i’m glad i got to talk to some of my fellow chuang idols again! 

fish lover: thank you so much! you all are so helpful, and trust i will be asking more questions!

no waist: sounds good!

opera queen: you’re actually no help though zhennan

xiling: LMAO go off

 

[rocket girls 101]

mik1: guys did we have… sexual tension going on in the group? 

xuanxuan: Meiqi you were involved with two men in 2021 you are straight even if we did you wouldn’t know

yummyam: dang xuanyi you really did her like that

mik1: i was just asking…

xuanxuan: sorry hon just had to break it to you

mik1: ok, but did we?

number 1 idol: i don’t think it was sexual not going to lie

mik1: okay cause zhou zhennan called us “straight af”

little 7: he said what…

number 1 idol: lmao he what

 

[dm: number 1 idol & angel]

number 1 idol: stupid

number 1 idol: still holding it against you that your tgcf hasn’t been released yet

angel: bruhhhhhh it’s not my fault

number 1 idol: tell zhou zhennan he’s stupid by the way

angel: chaoyue said ur stupid by the way

no waist: what

[we are super-one!]

opera queen: just curious

how did we deal with fights again

GAO sound: bo yuan drags one person away

keyu drags the other away

danierrrr: true

opera queen: is that an effective way to resolve sexual tension?

kiwi: bro what are you asking

bo yuan: no sexual tension was ever resolved by the way

momoshuai: false

bo yuan: what.

opera queen: zhou zhennan said that pillow fights are not a good way to resolve sexual tension in a fight

bo yuan: he’s not wrong

lowkey it would probably even speed up the development of the tension

opera queen: not sure if i needed to imagine that

momoshuai: ge… no one asked you to imagine that

kiwi: lin mo’s right

opera queen: did we have many fights? 

bo yuan: what’s with all the questions

opera queen: qiao yiyu was asking about parenting tips and being a center tips

bo yuan: ohhhhhh

GAO sound: gen1es members seem too nice to fight! but gen1es fighting! haha do you get it

paipai: that’s embarrasingly funny

opera queen: i think we were one big happy family so i’m glad. i’m glad we’re all on good terms with each other!

riki is number two: me too!!!!

momoshuai: santa don’t choke on your words

riki is number two: what…

paipai:

beijing icon: that’s funny

danierrr: oh shut up jiayuan

 

[ar one ess eee]

no waist: wait guys are rocket girls 101 not straight

angel: is that why chaoyue called you stupid

yaoshi: this is the first thing i hear from you in one and a half years and it’s for something stupid like this?

[wajijiwa wawas]

no waist: yao chen is mad… at me?

i’m so confused

angel: you done messed up this time

no waist: wait i just asked if rg101 was straight or not

angel: and he’s offended because you didn't text him at all before

no waist: was i supposed to?

xlight:

leilei:

808bass:

xlight: davis you don’t have a right to join us in this mockery

808bass: wtf do you mean

no waist: i was SUPPOSED to? 

leilei: wait ‘supposed’ is like not the right word

i think he just… expected you to 

no waist: why would he not text me first if he wanted to talk to me? 

i thought he didn't want to talk to me?

808bass:

angel: do you have amnesia or do you have amnesia

no waist: help? 

??

xlight: nannan i think maybe there has been a grave misunderstanding

no waist: i thought he’d be fine going no contact

but why does it sound like he was waiting?

leilei: are you stupid or are you stupid

angel: aye let’s go

leilei: shut up

angel: : (

no waist: i should… talk to him later then 



[ar one ess eee]

heehee: gay

they’re gay

 

[dm: angel & yaoshi]

angel: i’m sorry man, he still has no idea

yaoshi: i feel like i can’t face him now

angel: that’s fair, yeah

no one is forcing you to talk to him or anything

he said he thought you didn't want to talk to him

yaoshi: man… 

i just wanted him to reach out first

to apologize 

or something?

maybe to explain?

angel: i’m still not sure what exactly happened 

but i can assure you again i don’t think he meant to play with your feelings

i won’t say anything to him if you don’t want me to 

yaoshi: at some point i think we just have to drop hints to let him know what he did wrong

angel: i’ll wait for your signal to do that, ge

though i’m not sure if i’ll be good at it

yaoshi: thank you xiao zhai

i’m glad you’re here and still talking to everyone

angel: i try my best~ ttyl

(yaoshi reacted with heart)

 

[operation: help qyy]

fish lover: is anyone in any of your groups dating?

did you let them when you were all still a group 

or did it happen after

(for the gay groups at least)

mik1: got roasted yesterday, not sure how much help i can be of

xiling: my girls keep secrets well lol

yijin and zhao yue had like, something? but i think after we disbanded it didn't really work out

opera queen: awh :( 

xiling: i don’t think anyone was like full-on dating though

i can go ask

(and i still don’t know if anyone is)

fish lover: wouldn’t that make things awkward

i was just curious so don’t mind me!

xiling: nah man we’re tight

it’s chill

but i wouldn’t let them date

no waist: zhai xiaowen and zhao lei are dating

mik1: WHAT

opera queen: WHAT

xiling: makes sense

no waist: idk why this one is surprising

but yeah they were dating starting from the show

fish lover: was that… an issue? 

no waist: not really since they’re not super physically affectionate people

anyways

i think that’s why no one noticed

opera queen: oh lin mo and ak started dating like

during our second year as a group

but i only know because nine caught them and 

told me and santa

just us

told us to keep it a secret so i don’t think anyone else knows yet?

fish lover: y’all aren’t as tight as bonbongirls huh

xiling: xuan and i are proud of it!

mik1: you all are so wild

no waist: oh chaoyue called me stupid yesterday

mik1: she did what

fish lover: guys this question was not meant to be an entire tea spilling session

no waist: sorry it already started

opera queen: wait tea

can i spill?

fish lover: does it have to do with the question

opera queen: not really

xiling: that makes it better

go ahead

opera queen: @ no waist were you and yao chen not dating during r1se contract?

no waist: WHAT???

opera queen: wait so

xiling: oh! okay!

xiling: oh okay ms defensive

krystal: what if she’s straight

xiling: do you have reading comprehension skills

krystal: i was an english major, thank you very much

xiling: RELINQUISH THE DEGREE RIGHT NOW.
