Chatroom 9 – Chih En’s Expression Crisis
[Ahof Group Chat:]
Members: JL, Chih En
Chih En:
I need help.
JL:
Finally, you admit it. The first step to healing is acknowledgment. 😌
Chih En:
Shut up. I mean with my facial expressions when I dance.
JL:
OH. Well, yeah, that makes sense. You do kinda look…
Chih En:
Say it carefully.
JL:
…like a slightly confused robot that just woke up from a nap.
Chih En:
🙂
JL:
Hey, I’m just being honest. You dance amazingly, but your face always looks like you’re buffering.
Chih En:
I can’t help it. When I focus, I don’t think about my face.
JL:
That’s the problem! Your body is saying “I’m killing this routine,” but your face is saying “where am I?”
Chih En:
…So what do I do?
JL:
Easy. Just exaggerate your expressions more! Even if it feels too much, it looks normal on stage.
Chih En:
Okay, show me.
JL:
Wait, what?
Chih En:
Send a selfie. Show me your best “charismatic” face.
JL:
…Are you asking for a free lesson or just an excuse to get a hot pic of me? 😏
Chih En:
I literally just need help. You’re so full of yourself.
JL:
You could have just said “both.” 🙄 Fine. Here. [sent photo]
Chih En:
…You look like you’re about to seduce the camera.
JL:
Thank you. That’s the goal. 😉
Chih En:
That’s not what I meant. I can’t do that.
JL:
You can if you practice. Try copying my pose.
Chih En:
No.
JL:
Why not?!
Chih En:
Because I have dignity.
JL:
LMAO, since when? Just try it!
Chih En:
Fine. [sent photo]
JL:
😭😭😭 BRO, WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE FORCING A SMILE IN A HOSTAGE VIDEO?!
Chih En:
…
JL:
We have so much work to do.
Chih En:
I regret asking you for help.
JL:
Too late. You’ve unlocked Coach JL Mode. Expect a full training session tomorrow.
Chih En:
I hate it here.
