[Ayana]

"Ayana, ikou. Mō ranchitaimudesu," (Ayana, let's go. It's already lunchtime,) Ni-Ki said. I smiled at him and followed him going down the building.

Students are eyeing the both of us as we pass by the stairs. It's a bit uncomfortable since I don't know their perspectives yet. I'm just a newbie here after all.

"Ayana, anata wa kankaku o akete imasu," (Ayana, you're spacing out,) said the boy I am currently following.

"Gomen'nasai. Anata wa nanika o itte iru nodesu ka? Soshite, watashi wa anata yori toshiuedesu, anata wa watashi no namae dake de watashi o yobubekide wa arimasen, ikutsu ka no keishiki o kuwaete kudasai," (I'm sorry. You're saying something? And I am older than you, you shouldn't call me just by my name, add some formality,) I said.

"Ā, gomen'nasai onēsan. Anata ga watashi yori toshiueda to wa shirimasendeshita," (Oh, I'm sorry sister. I didn't know that you're older than me,) he bowed her head and continuously apologised.

"Iya, daijōbudesu. Watashi wa tada asonde imasu. Anata wa watashi ni anata ga nozomu nani demo yobu koto ga dekimasu. Sorede, anata wa izen ni nani o itte imasu ka?" (Nah, it's okay. I'm just playing around. You can call me anything you want. So, what are you saying earlier?)

"Watashi ga itte ita yō ni, watashitachi wa sudeni kafeteria ni imasu. Chūmon-chū ni seki o mitsuke raremasu ka? Kyō wa omotenashi shimasu!" (As I was saying, we're already here at the cafeteria. Can you find our seats while I am ordering? I'll treat you today!)

"Ī yo, daijōbu. Shikashi, anata wa hontōni watashi o chiryō suru hitsuyō wa arimasen," (Okay, no problem. But, you don't really need to treat me,)

"Ani. I'm going to treat you today, noona," I laughed so hard at his sudden change of language.

"Alright, namdongsaeng!" I said and shook my head.

I'm actually thankful that I am still in my consciousness right now. I didn't expect Ni-ki to be this friendly towards me.

He didn't take too long to order. Ni-ki came back to our table with two trays in his hands. He gave me the other one and even arranged my utensils. Wow, so gentleman.

"Nē, watashi ga Firipin kara no atarashī kenshūsei no hitoridearu koto o shitte imasu ka?" (Hey, do you know that I am one of the new trainees from the Philippines?) I saw how his eyes glistened.

"Ne. Actually, I saw your audition video," 

I almost spit out the fishcake I was eating when I heard what he said.

He watched? Did he also see how stiff I was dancing that time because of so much nervousness?

"Gwaenchana?" (Are you okay?) He tapped my back while giving me some water.

"You saw my video? How? Are you one of the HYBE's staff?"

"Uh, ani. BTS and TXT sunbaenim also watched it. We're the one who picked all of you," Ni-ki carefully said.

What the heck? Even BTS and TXT?

"Ē to, naze anata no kao wa totemo akai nodesu ka?" (Uh, why is your face so red?) I used both my hands to cover my face.

This is freaking embarrassing!

"Anata wa daijōbu?" (Are you okay?) he forcefully removes the hand that covers my face.

"Geurae, nan gwaenchanha," (Yes, I'm okay,)

"Honkidesu ka? Anata wa totemo akaidesu," (Are you sure? You're so red,)

I laughed at our situation right now. We're talking in two different languages!

: : Do you think this chapter is a bit confusing? They're practically conversing with 2-3 languages (English, Japanese, Korean).

: : Anyway, feel free to correct my grammar. I just used a translator for Japanese and Korean phrases.
