Determined

Chapter 10

Tao's POV
'Wow! That's messed up Tao.. I thought you were innocent but you proved me wrong' kris let out a nervous chuckle
'Yah this is serious gege' i frowned at him
'I know sorry'
'What should i do? I'm confused, i wish we could be friends again. I miss her like hell' tears pricked my eyes.
'Well if you ask me' he gave a serious look 'Apologise! And if she's nice enough she'll forgive you'
'That's what chaelin unnie said too'
'Maybe because that's the right thing to do.. Or you could suffer like this for the rest of your life' he patted my back 'choose wisely' and then he walked back inside.

HeeSoo POV:

Sweat ran down my forehead as i tried my level best to master a dance move.
'Fail! Fail! Fail' my mind yelled as i tripped once again whilst trying to twirl.
As i got back up, a sharp pain ran through my legs making them weak. I collapsed back on the ground clutching both my legs, internally screaming because of the excruciating pain.
'No no no! I have a concert tomorrow i can't injure myself right now' i mentally scolded myself. I need to work hard and make it perfect. Ugh why am i so useless.

'Yah heeSoo-ah! Why are you still practising? It's late..' Jaeyang oppa appeared at the door.
'I want it to be perfect oppa but..' I looked down not wanting to disappoint him with my injury.
'But you injured yourself right?' I gave a slight nod still facing the ground. 'That's what happens when you over work yourself! Come on! We'll get you some ice and then you're going home to rest! Guere?' He said in a firm tone offering me his hand
I nodded and took his hand as he pulled me up. He helped me walk to the nurse's room.
'Ahhh that's cold' i cried out as the block of ice met my skin.
'Cold will help heal it' the nurse stated giving me a comforting smile.
'HeeSoo-ah? Yangoon hyung wants a meeting with you tomorrow, early morning'
'Wae?' I asked.
'He wants you to do a collab with some SM artists.. I don't know all the details, he said he'll tell himself'
'Collab? With SM?' My mouth formed an 'O' shape 'aren't they supposed to be our rivals'
'Ani!!! Who gave you that idea? We often do collabs with their artists to maintain friendly relations with them'
'Jinja?' I was really shocked, i always thought YG and SM weren't on good terms. Well obviously i was wrong.
'Nae we don't hate eachother' he chuckled.
---------------------------------------------
HeeSoo's POV:

'Good morning HeeSoo-ah! How are you?' Papa yg chirped, he seemed to be in a really good mood, as always.
'Morning sunbaenim! I'm good thanks for asking ' I bowed and gave him a smile.
'Good to hear! Well anyway as Jaeyang might have already told you, this meeting is going to be about the collab with SM artists?' He asked and i nodded.
'Well we decided to get the rappers from a boy group of theirs and pair it with your vocals, eh?'
'Sounds good'
'Hmm good!' He clapped his hands once 'so since you're a new artist of YG, we decided to get the rappers from exo, who are the new artists of SM'
'WHAT?' I shouted. Oh no! Exo's rappers? What if the two rappers are them? This can't be happening! I felt like pulling out my hair.
'Wae? Is everything fine?' He asked worriedly.
'N-nae, may i ask which rappers have been chosen?' I prayed it wasn't them.
'Nae! For the korean version it is Kim-'
'J-jongin?' I cut him off.
'Nae! how did you know?'
'I, uh i just guessed' i tried to hide my anxiety with a nervous laugh 'and who is the other?'
'For the chinese version it's huang ZiTao'
No... NO! NOOOOO!!!! This can't be! I can't even manage to be around them for 5 minutes how will i manage a whole comeback with them?
'HeeSoo-ah, are you okay? You look pale' his voice emitted concern
'Nae, i just didn't sleep well last, that's all' i lied, i was freaking out, i couldn't bare the fact i had to be working with Kai and Tao. Could it get any worse? Oh wait, YES IT CAN! I am going to work with KIM JONGIN who is the master of making people's lives miserable. Ugh. I dreaded this comeback already but i had no choice.
'Oh okay, so we start working on your comeback tomorrow' he smiled.
'Araseo' i nodded and took my leave
----------------------------------------------

HeeSoo's POV:
The much dreaded day was here. I was indeed very nervous, i could feel my body shiver in fear and anticipation. I already knew it won't end up well.
I sat in the practise room waiting for Jaeyang oppa to escort them into the room. Suddenly the door opened and my heart dropped as i saw them standing at the door.
I wanted to back out and run but i couldn't. I painted on my best fake smile and decided to face them.
'Anneonghaseyo! I'm Kim HeeSoo, i believe you already know me from the MAMA awards?'
'Nae! I'm Kim JongIn from Exo-k' he confidently spoke and gave a slight bow.
(Aish i know! How can i not know? You ruined my life! How can i ever forgive you ugh!!) my thoughts were wild but i needed to stay calm.
'Uh and i'm H-huang Z-zitao!' He nervously bowed. I could tell he wasn't comfortable around me and it pained me to a great extent. We went from bestfriends, to complete strangers.
'Nice to meet you both, as you already know we'll be collaborating for my comeback! I look forward to working with you! Lets all work well, hmm?' I tried to sound enthusiastic but i knew my hate and pain was evident through my words.
'Nae!' They both chorused, beaming smiles back at me which i knew were fake.

Kai's POV:
I couldn't believe it! Was it the same HeeSoo i used to bully? Where did that confidence come from? Where did that beauty come from? At MAMA awards i thought she was pretty just because of the makeup but right now she had no makeup at all! Plastic surgery? I doubt it. Maybe puberty. Who knew that was what lie under those hideous glasses. She was truly beautiful.
(Aish Kai! What are you thinking? Are you mad? You hate her remember?) i smacked my head to bring me back to reality but again went into a trance as i laid my eyes on her. Truly a goddess.
'EARTH TO KAI!!! Yah! Kai-ssi come back to your senses' i felt something hit my head.
'Yah! Tao! what was that for?' I complained rubbing the sore area
'Stop dozing off! You need to start recording the song. They are recording the korean version first'
'N-nae'
