I Guess I'm in Love | Ryuryeong

Chaeryeong woke up a little bit late than her usual time. She groaned from the headache she was having.

"Aish, why did I even drank last night" Chaeryeong said and then got down from her bed.

She ate a little bit for breakfast and decided that she should practice a little for her auditions later on.

After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she went out of her apartment room and went off to walk towards the school campus. She was still walking not until she got a message.

Lya unnie~

hey bub, do
you want me to come
over?

————

She didn't replied back, instead she just put her phone back in her pocket, she was still in a bad mood. She continued to walk to the campus, she entered and went straught to the practice room. She stretched first and then after a while, she started practicing. She didn't want to attend the lessons for the morning, she didn't want to go to class because of a certain girl. She knew she would break down when she sees her again.

"Get it together Ryeongchae" she said to herself as she looked at the huge mirror.

"Tsk, I really look like shit" Chaeryeong said and chuckled bitterly but she continued to practice. She was almost done not until someone went inside the practice room.

"Unnie?" she heard, she turned around and it was Yuna

"Oh, hey" Chaeryeong said sadly, she sighed.

"Its too early to practice unnie, I was finding for you everywhere" Yuna said worriedly. She went towards the elder and handed her a drink.

"What's that?" Chaeryeong asked, she looked at Yuna and then at the drink once again.

"Iced Americano, you need that. You told me before that you need to at least drink coffee when you... well, need it" Yuna said and then she grab Chaeryeong's hand so that she would be holding the drink.

"Thanks Yuna" Chaeryeong said and sighed, she then sat down on the floor, Yuna sat down with her

"Why aren't you in class?" Yuna asked worriedly

"As much as I want to attend class, I don't want to see her..." Chaeryeong trailed off

"Oh... okay unnie, I'll just asked Yuri unnie or Minju unnie for any lessons you need" Yuna said and Chaeryeong nodded.

"Yuna?! have you seen Chaeryeong?! Gosh that girl really" Lia panicked, she was searching for Chaeryeong the whole morning, she almost skipped class for it. Good thing their teacher wasn't around.

"She's here unnie!" Yuna said , then Lia came inside. She sighed in relief as she saw Chaeryeong.

"You scared me, I went to your apartment to check on you. Please don't do that again" Lia said and hugged Chaeryeong suddenly

"I'm fine unnie, well, thanks for checking on me" Chaeryeong said

"Text me back next time, you almost had me in a heart attack" Lia said

"Don't worry unnie" Chaeryeong said and forced out a smile

The two other girls let Chaeryeong practice since she wanted to, they told her that they would go to their classes first and she should just text them if she needed anything.

Chaeryeong got a little tired and she decided to walk around the hallways. She was passing by the other classes with a smile, but then when she passed by the open cafeteria, she saw the girl who broke her. Ryujin was smiling widely whole talking to Heejin. Chaeryeong's heart shattered once again, she couldn't help but tear up. She hurriedly ran back to the practice room and tried to calm herself down.

"Stop thinking about her Chaeryeong, you need to focus for your auditions" she told herself

After a while, she got to calm herself down but she suddenly got a small headache.

"Have you seen Ryujin?" Lia asked her girlfriend

"Nope, but I heard from Yuri that she was alone at the backseat of the class" Yeji replied

"As she should, anyways, didn't she find for Chaeryeong?" Lia asked but Yeji shook her head.

"But Minju did told me that Ryujin kept glancing at the seat, maybe Ryujin was wondering Chaeryeong would have gone" Yeji added

"I think it's best for Chaeryeong to stay away from Ryujin for the meantime, she needs to focus on her dancing. We don't know what will happen to her when she sees Ryujin" Lia said and Yeji nodded

It was already around 3:20 in the afternoon, some of the students were going home, while some are just staying to hang out and pf course some are still there for the auditions.

Lia, Yeji and Yuna wanted to watch Chaeryeong gor her audition but it wasn't allowed. Chaeryeong was all alone waiting for her turn, when she was called, she started fiddling with her fingers.

"Okay, Lee Chaeryeong, you may start now" the teacher said and she nodded.

The song that she chose started playing, she was doing great at the start, she was incredible, not until she looked at herself at the mirror. She remembered the days where she practiced and taught Ryujin a dance, it messed up her mind. With the thought of that, she got a move wrong. Although that happened, she continued. When she got finished, she stood at the middle, she was nervous of what the teachers would say to her.

"So Chaeryeong, how long have you practiced?" Ms. J Lee asked

"Oh, about two days miss" Chaeryeong replied, the teachers nodded

"Umm, are you sick or something?" the other teacher asked

"I have a slight headache sir"

"Oh, well you see Chaeryeong, we can see potential in you.."

Potential

"But you lack a little more energy and also you seem to be distracted. Maybe its because of your headache" the teacher said and Chaeryeong just nodded

"It's amazing to know that you were able to pull that off in just two days Chaeryeong, but a little more practice would be great. Umm, how about this.... We'll be having auditions for the school team dance next month. You should auition again, we really hope you do" Ms. J Lee said and Chaeryeong nodded

"Thank you miss, and sir" Chaeryeong said and bowed

It hurts her, knowing that she only had potential, she knew to herself that she wasn't good enough. As she went out of the practice room she ran to the restroom, just only to cry her heart out.

"What's taking Chaeryeong so long?" Yeji asked worriedly

"Wait, the lights at the audition room are off already, where is she?" Lia asked worruedly. They stood up from the bench and went off to find for Chaeryeong.

They went separate ways, Yeji checked on the other practice rooms and Yuna went to the other classrooms.

"Chaeryeong?!" Lia called out....
