It's You | Ryuryeong

"5, 6, 7, 8...." the teacher said as she instructed the choreography to the dancers.

"And one up, two down and 1,2,3 pose" the teacher said and finished up the choreo. The students were all breathing heavily after doing the dance combination but as usual Chaeryeong was keeping a smile on her face as they finished

Of course the students around were Japanese and Chaeryeong was the only Korean girl in that class, unlike Natty's class, there were a few different students that were Thai, Korean and the rest was Japanese.

Chaeryeong wasn't that shy, she knows how to speak in Japanese and she understands the other students. She always hear some muttering saying that she's pretty and good in dancing, that itself gave Chaeryeong confidence each day

"Okay class, we'll meet again shortly after two hours, go have a break and be back on time okay?" the teacher said

"Hai!" they all said in unison and the other students grabbed their bags

"Hey Chaeryeong" a student called her

"hmm?" Chaeryeong asked and raised a brow

"Wanna join us for break?" the student asked with a smile. Chaeryeong was glad that there were some other students wanting to be friends with her but she only wanted to stay with Natty

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm joining my best friend for break, maybe next time if she can come along" Chaeryeong said and smiled shyly

"It's okay, see you later after break Chaeryeong" the student said and waved goodbye to her, Chaeryeong did the same and went off. She made her way to the vocal room, waiting for Natty, after a few minutes, Natty got finished and both of them made their way to the cafeteria

"Some students were asking me to go have lunch with them" Chaeryeong said to Natty shyly

"Then why didn't you join them?" Natty asked Chaeryeong

"I didn't want to, I didn't want to leave you alone. Also, I'm not that close to them, I'll always have lunch with you" Chaeryeong said

"You sure? you're still going to have lunch with me for five years here in Japan?" Natty asked amusingly

"Of course I will Natty" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

The two of them got their food and went to a separate table to eat their lunch, a lot of students were chit chattering but not that loud.

"You know, if ever the other were here such as Yuri, Winter, Yujin, we'll probably be scolded for being so noisy" Natty said and chuckled

"I know, we would've been at the principal's office hours ago" Chaeryeong said and both of them chuckled.

In the middle of their break time, Chaeryeong's phone suddenly rang so she quickly answered it for the ringing noise to stop and to not disturb the other students around the cafeteria.

"Hey Ryeong!"

"Hi unnie" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

"How are you there?"

"I'm fine here Yeji unnie, I'm having lunch with Natty right now"

"Ah really? so how's your dance classes? us here are having a ten minute break, since we just had lunch a few hours ago"

"Its fine here, I can understand them thanks to those extra language classes that I get to learn Japanese as well. I actually taught Natty some other words as well which will be helpful for her"

"That's nice"

"So, what are you up to now unnie?"

"Just resting, later me and Lia would work on another project for one of our classes"

"Oh, I thought she and Ryujin would be hanging out today? they go on dates most of the time right?"

"Well actually Ryujin has been busy recently, Lia told me that Ryujin keeps going to her parent's company. She's the next owner after all, after a few years she'll be the CEO"

"Oh, she never told me about that"

"Same, Lia just knew about it recently"

"I guess she never told anyone"

"Yeah, well you know, a lot of us miss you and Natty already. Its different without you two as Yuri said. She said their dorm has been very quiet ever since"

"Really?"

"Yeah, that's why she sometimes stays at our dorm to stay with Yena unnie. She cries from time to time"

"I wish I could hug her"

"Yeah, its been a month already Ryeong-ah, even Mrs. Bae missed you. Our sunbaenims keep on finding for you, Momo sunbaenim, Lisa sunbaenim...."

"I miss you unnies as well"

"Mhm, well, Mrs. Bae will be back in the room in a while"

"Hmm, okay unnie, maybe your break time is almost done. You can call later if you want"

"Of course, bye Ryeong-ah, call you next time stay safe there and take care"

"You too unnie"

::::::::::

Chaeryeong ended the call and placed her phone on the table in front of her.

"What was it about?" Natty asked her

"Yeji unnie just told me about their practice" Chaeryeong said and continued eating

"Hmm... anything else?" Natty asked

"Well, she did told me she'll be working on a project with Lia unnie. They're closer now than before I guess"

"Yeji unnie did said she had a crush on Lia unnie, maybe-"

"Natty" Chaeryeong scolded

"Why? you told me last time that Yeji unnie and Lia unnie were hanging out, what if Lia unnie and Ryujin are-"

"Nat, Ryujin is just working on being the CEO of her parent's company. Stop saying those things about her and Lia unnie" Chaeryeong said

"But maybe its your chance to finally-" Natty was cut off again

"Yes, I may want to be with Ryujin but I already told you Natty, I want to give myself time. I also want them to be happy with what they want. If Lia unnie is happy then that's fine with me, if Ryujin is happy then that's fine as well, I don't care anymore" Chaeryeong said and finished up her lunch

"Sorry for bringing that up" Natty said, feeling guilty

"Its fine, I just need to have time for myself here. Chaeyeon unnie told me that I may relax more here in Japan" Chaeryeong said and sighed

"I guess, we still have around five years to stay here"

"Well, for the first month its going out well" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

"Mhm, well let's finish this up coz I heard there was an art room here where they display some paintings" Natty said

"That's great!" Chaeryeong said excitedly

They both finished their lunch and went off to that art room that Natty talked about.
