1 week. I have one week till my first comeback. 1 week to perfect anything that needs perfecting, well... performance wise anyway. Everything else is in place and ready for the world.
Headphones on, my new single "Pop Love" plays. It comes to an end and so did my very practiced routine for the 1000th time. I fall to the ground panting hard but not feeling tired. My title song isn't anything I am too proud of. Just a generic pop song but the choreo is where I put all my effort. Practicing and refining it every chance I get. I am really thankful for the backup dancers SeoYeon was able to hire and them being able to adapt to my ever changing decisions.
The heat of the summer day was making me sweat like crazy. I lay on my back and was attacked by my favorite dog. Her wet tongue licks at my face "Who needs a cooling rag with you around huh?" I laugh.
She barks excitedly but doesn't stop. Not one to play dead easily I began to wrestle with her. Rolling in the grass and squishing a few wild flowers.
Thankfully not any of Halmeoni's.
Her nipping at my tied up hair and me playfully pulling on her ears, it's a close fight. But something distracts me: "Go Sagwa! Get her!" I twist my head but my long hair drapes over me like a curtain obscuring my view. Sagwa takes that chance to lay on my stomach, successfully pining me to the ground. I blow my hair out of my face and look at the man standing above me. "The winner is Sagwa!" He announces triumphantly.
"Cheater more like," I say
"She was winning way before I got here."
I pout and look away from him. "Besides siding with my dog. What do you want, Hoseok?"
"I always side with the cute ones," He says with a wink and lifts his hand that I now notice is holding a grocery bag. "Came to return some of Halmeoni's tupperware. From the many meals she has sent me and the members."
"Ah I'm sure she'd love to have them back. You know she will just send you with more back right?"
"Yeah. This is all from my last attempt at returning them."
I laugh knowing the struggle all too well. Pushing Sagwa off my lap I follow him to our favorite little cafe.

“Joe! Where is my pot?” nothing new as we are greeted by the very loud voice of Halmeoni.
“In the cupboard on the right.”
Hoseok and me take our usual seats. She is faced away from us as we watch her shuffle to the right. She opens the cabinet and holds out an orange clay flower pot “Not that one. The other one.”
