Chapter 3: Faking it

Jisung was talking to... Chan? I told Lia this and she was surprised to. When I thought about it, it made sense. Chan loved producing, Jisung loved producing. We grabbed food and went to Jisung's table. "You can't sit here," Jisung deadpanned. "Says who?" I remarked.

"Says me, your older brother."

"You are older than me by 40 minutes shorty."

"Respect your elders!"

"Like you do that."

Lia looked so done with us. While Chan and another person with a sharp jawline looked at us questionably. "We are twins," Jisung pointed at him and me. They looked interested while nodding. "That's Chan and Changbin, Nina," Jisung introduced them. "Hey, I'm Nina. Nice to meet you!" I greeted for the 100th time. As I put my food down, I spotted Chaeryeong sitting alone. "Can I invite my friend over here?" I asked. "You made a fri-" Jisung acted shocked. "Shut up Ji! Eat your food," I rolled my eyes to grab Chaeryeong.

"Chaeryeong!" I nudged her. She looked up from her phone, humming. "Do you wanna sit with my friends and me?" I suggested. "Sure! Thanks for inviting me!" She agreed and grabbed her food. "Hello! I'm Lee Chaeryeong!" She introduced. As Chaeryeong sat next to me, Jisung had to make a remark. "So.... you're the brave soul that is friends with my sister? You have my prayers Chaeryeong," Jisung gasped. I was so close to punching him, but stopped myself. "You two are siblings?" Chaeryeong inquired. "Twins," I corrected. "Woah, I kinda want a twin." Chaeryeong wondered. "No you don't," Jisung, Lia, and I responded. Everyone at the table laughed. "If you are friends with twins, run away. Don't become like me, I'm stuck with them for eternity," Lia joked. "HEY LISTEN-" Jisung screamed, before Changbin put his hand over Jisung's mouth. "The older twin is the most problematic. They expect you to do EVERYTHING for them," I rolled my eyes. Jisung, who freed himself from Changbin's hold, disagreed saying, "No the younger twin is more problematic! The older twin has to take care of them and gets the blame for their shit!" I thought about the pants and shirt situations. "Remember that time when mom got mad at you for staining your shirt and pants?" I asked Jisung. He nodded and I continued saying, "Yeah... I was the one that did that," I confessed. "HAN NINA YOU BETTER SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN," Jisung threatened. "Actually, you can't because dorms are separated between girls and boys," Lia informed us. Jisung and I booed. I can't tackle Jisung awake anymore! "Nina, I trust you to wake up Lia with cold water," Jisung commanded. "Yes sir!" I faked saluting him. "THAT WAS ONE TIME!" Lia complained. Many jokes and laughs later, lunch was over. We exchanged numbers, with the promise of making a group chat together and sitting together at lunch.

I had 2 more classes today, dance and producing. I was tired at the end of the day, but happy. I felt that I was getting closer to my dream. I walked home with Jisung and Lia. The boys and girls dorm were close together, but in separate buildings. "Jisung, I saw that boy with the deep voice in dance. Lee Felix, 16, Aussie," Lia informed us. "Chan was talking about him! He's the only other Aussie in JYP," Jisung exclaimed. I froze when Jisung talked about Chan. "Nina, you good?" Jisung asked, noticing I froze. "Oh yeah, I'm good, just tired." I assured him. I could tell Jisung didn't believe me. We talked about everything about our day until we got to the dorms. Bidding good nights, we went our separate ways.

Jisung POV:

Lia had met that boy that caught my eye during introductions. "Jisung, I saw that boy with the deep voice in dance. Lee Felix, 16, Aussie," Lia mentioned. Lee Felix? That name is familiar somehow? Chan! "Chan was talking about him! He's the only other Aussie in JYP," I exclaimed. Nina had stopped for a second. I noticed her shocked reaction at lunch, looking at our table. Does she know Chan? "Nina, you good?" I asked. Lia looked worried. "Oh yeah, I'm good, just tired," she assured me. Lies. I know Nina like I know myself. Maybe it's a twin thing, but I can tell when she's lying. I'll confront her about it soon.

Nina POV:

In each dorm, there are a maximum of 18 people. We are then divided into 3 rooms with 6 people. Luckly, Lia and I got the same dorm, G11. When we got to our dorm, there were 4 others in the dorm. Looking around, I recognized one, "Chaeryeong!" I squealed. "Nina!" Chaeryeong responded. "Is this all the people in our dorm?" Lia asked. "Yeah," One girl answered, she was that girl with long hair and bangs! "Hey, I'm Nina, that's Lia," I announced. We learned the other 3 girls' names, Yeji, Ryujin, and Yuna. All of them are around my age, me being the youngest. We all piled up in one room, not wanting to put our stuff in another room in case new trainees came. We all exchanged numbers and talked about our interests. I decided to go clean up when my phone dinged.

I chuckled before responding, "Don't scare him away and don't make your crush on him obvious." I took a long shower, wishing my worries could wash away with the water. Would I be able to debut? How will I hide this? So many thoughts ran through my head. I dried off and plopped on my bed. I'm so tired of pretending that I'm okay, when so many things are eating me up inside. I can't always be faking it though.
