0543 : A new someone

From outside the dance practice room stood a jealous Areum. Panned faced as the pain worsened every moment she stood there visualizing her dream and her fantasies unfold just like a hopeless cupid watching as the two lovers fall in love with each other harder every second. Soon tears welled up in her sockets as slowly a river of tears came gushing down her cheeks as she covered her mouth with her hands to hold in her wails of vulnerability and jealousy before running off.

Byeol's pov :
" Ah finally, we did 40 takes and it's almost 11 pm." feeling accomplished yet debilitated i glimpse at Ni-ki at his worn out stage."Great job byeol, never thought you would be this harsh towards yourself" he blurted as i watched him rest a hand on my shoulder supporting his figure from collapsing. Observing his features curiously, I noticed he has a mole on his right chin. "You know.. having a mole on ur chin means you have a great taste for food?" He looked at me with amazement，raising his eyebrows, replying to my randomness. "We should go back and wash up." Ni-ki suggested, holding out a hand for me to grab and then pulling me up from the dance floor. Quietly cleaning up and leaving the dance studio then waving each other goodbye as we walked towards our separate dorms.

Many days have elapsed since their first dance practice. slowly their so called love hate friendship grew even closer since fate had put it upon them. it wasn't only Ni-ki that she got closer to, but another girl in the group of trainees. Rei.

Ni-ki's pov:
"Who is Rei ?" I inquired, looking extremely concerned. " Some random girl decided yesterday that I would be her 'bestie for life?' " Byeol replied looking annoyed , air quoting at the bestie for whatever part. I chuckled at her very expression.
Oddly these days I've been getting threats from an unknown number demoralising and disrespecting Byeol. ' Who are they to dare do that?' I thought, unaware that I was staring into blank space. Popping my bubble of thoughts when seeing how close Byeols face was from mine. Flustering, I tripped and fell to the ground. " Ha! that's for you laughing at me, " Byeol teased, sticking out a tongue.
I rolled my eyes sarcastically as I left the dance room for a breather.

When Ni-ki came back in, another girl was talking to Byeol as she giggled along to some funny conversation. " Who are you ?" Ni-ki sternly queried. " Rei , im Rei. New trainee, Japanese. " she spoke in korean.
" Ah~, " Ni-ki began in Japanese. " Which part of Japan were you from?" " You're Japanese too ? Oh my gosh , Hello! I'm from Kyoto ! " the girl energetically responded as Byeol looked at them in pure innocent confusion , narrowing her brows in an attempt to not listen. Finally she stood up and left the dance studio leaving the two to continue their conversation.
