Tzuyu walked with Chaeryeong going to the office, it was obvious that Chaeryeong was nervous but she had to push that feeling aside

"What happened though?" Tzuyu asked softly

"I yelled at our dance teacher" Chaeryeong said softly

"Oh... well at least you were able to speak up for yourself" Tzuyu said

"Not for me though.... for Lia unnie" Chaeryeong said and fiddled with her fingers

"Lia?.... so, um, you two are dating?" Tzuyu asked, at this point, it seems like Chaeryeong couldn't hide their relationship that much after what happened but she thought it was safe since it would only be their Twice unnies who would know about it.

"N-Nae" Chaeryeong said shyly, a small smile was formed on Tzuyu's lips. It was really brave of Chaeryeong to stand up for someone else, also it was nice knowing that their sister group

They then stopped in front of JYP's office. Chaeryeong let out a big sigh and then looked at the big door.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine" Tzuyu said and patted the younger's shoulder

"Thank you unnie" Chaeryeong said and smiled softly at Tzuyu. She then held the door knob and went inside, she saw JYP sitting there, just waiting for her. Chaeryeong then closed the door and face the Producer.

"Good day PD-nim" Chaeryeong said and bowed

"Good day as well Chaeryeong, do sit down" JYP said and gestured Chaeryeong to take the seat in front of him.

Chaeryeong went towards it and sat down, she felt really nervous, she doesn't know what will happen to her.

"So, your dance teacher told me that you yelled at her. Is that true Chaeryeong?" JYP asked

"Yes" Chaeryeong replied, its not like she could lie at him anyways

"That's the first time I heard a report that you shouted at someone. I thought you would be very quiet around" JYP said and let out a soft chuckle. Chaeryeong knew that he was telling the truth, she was really quiet around the company, she respects all of those who teach them.

"Before you got in here, I remembered some others who did the same as you" JYP said, it made Chaeryeong look up at him. She was curious.

"Jeongyeon, she did that before, yelling at their teacher, not only once but four times already" JYP said and chuckled

"She yelled at their teacher for being too harsh and all. I guessed you did the same thing. Its really nice to see that my artists here know what's too much even though they should be respecting the decisions of their teachers. Being the mother-like member of the group is hard right?" JYP asked, he knew that Chaeryeong would be the one to take care of most of the members since she was the one who trained the longest among the five of them in the company.

"Yes sir" Chaeryeong replied

"I know its hard to control but, I think we should just understand what the teacher said" JYP said but it made Chaeryeong's eyebrows furrow.

"She told me that she just gave Lia a teaching and then you started to yell at her, is that right?" JYP asked but Chaeryeong shook her head

"She said hurtful words to Lia sir, even you will not be able to accept what she said" Chaeryeong said

"Oh, well then, what is it?" JYP asked

"PD-nim, can I not tell it to you today? I'm kind of-"

"It's okay, I understand" JYP said and Chaeryeong nodded

"Thank you so much PD-nim" Chaeryeong said

"Don't worry, I'm not mad, I'm actually proud of you girls standing up for yourselves. You five done great for the past two years. I'll talk to your teacher and fix this up" JYP complimented

"Thank you sir" Chaeryeong said and she finally had a small smile on her lips. It was nice to get compliments from their Producer

"Oh also, Chaeryeong" JYP called

"Yes sir?" Chaeryeong asked

"Are you and Lia dating?" JYP asked which made Chaeryeong nervous.

"Um..." Chaeryeong trailed off

"Don't be so nervous, you do know that Nayeon and Jeongyeon told me theirs before, so, are you and Lia are dating?" JYP asked

"Yes sir" Chaeryeong said

"That's good to hear, just keep it low first, you girls are still on dating ban and I don't want you five to have controversies around social media" JYP said

"Yes sir, we'll keep it low" Chaeryeong said

"Very good, you can leave now, and also, congratulations on you and Lia" JYP said and Chaeryeong nodded with a smile as she went out of the office.

She went out of the office and closed the door, when she turned around

"Ah yah!!!" Chaeryeong said and slapped the person's shoulder

"Hey, no slapping!" Ryujin whined

"Its your fault for surprising me" Chaeryeong said and glared at Ryujin.

"Well my bad, I was just gonna tell you something though" Ryujin said

"What is it?" Chaeryeong asked

"Lia unnie wants to go back to the dorm now, she also said she didn't want to attend practice tomorrow" Ryujin said and it really broke Chaeryeong's heart, knowing that her girlfriend was starting to believe that she was a failure.

"Is she still at the practice room?" Chaeryeong asked worriedly

"We all went down to the waiting area with Twice unnies, manager called and said they will be here in a few minutes" Ryujin said and Chaeryeong nodded. Both of them went down and to where the others were.

Chaeryeong saw Lia, still tearing up, she didn't hesitate to hug the older.

"You girls need some rest, go on now" Nayeon said and patted their shoulders.

The van came and then the girls went inside, Chaeryeong and Lia went to the very back while the other three went to their proper seats.

"I'm really sorry unnie, you didn't deserve to hear those things" Chaeryeong said softly and kissed Lia's temple.

Lia just stayed there, hugging Chaeryeong by the waist, her head hidden on the crook of the younger's neck.

"Want to grab something before we reach the dorm?" Yeji asked

"Umm, how about ice cream?" Yuna asked to at least brighten up the mood.

"Is that fine Chaeryeong? Lia?" Yeji asked.

Chaeryeong felt Lia nodding softly.

"Sure unnie, that'll be fine" Chaeryeong said softly and Yeji nodded

Their manager then drove them to the nearby ice cream store and they bought ice cream to eat later.
