Chapter 58: Jungseo

{EDITED AND PUBLISHED}

Jieun and Jinwoo woke up on an early morning of a Wednesday thanks to their alarm. They groggily sat up on their bed and stretched before getting ready for their day. Both finished getting ready around the same time and met at their front door after eating breakfast only to realize that they were wearing very similar outfits.

"You gotta be kidding me", Jinwoo said. He noticed that both wore plain white shirts with black sweatpants and white sneakers. The only difference was that Jinwoo wore a bucket hat.

"Why are you always copying me?" Jieun asked him and he looked at him in disbelief.

"Me?" The boy asked as he pointed at himself.

Jieun looked at him with a blank expression. "Dude who else? Do you see somebody else here?", she said with an obvious tone.

"Dude it's called having style" Jinwoo responded with sass.

Jieun rolled her eyes and opened the front door so they could leave. "Whatever let's just go before we're late and Emma makes us run laps"

"You know Emma kinda scares me", Jinwoo said as they walked out of the apartment. Sure Emma was nice, kind, and caring, but she was strict and serious when it came to working but still made them feel comfortable. He guessed that it was just leader things, but damn she's scary when she's mad.

"Eh but she makes us get things done" Jieun pointed out. She wasn't gonna lie, sometimes Emma did scare her but that made her the perfect leader. She balanced out the leader and friend job pretty fairly.

"You're right there"

"I know"

They got to the dance studio and said hi to everyone before going to the mini-fridge and getting themselves an energy drink. At the moment and the last two days, they had been using the dance studios at the apartment complex, so they weren't that late to practice.

Jieun yawned and wiggled out her tiredness before they started practice. She then saw their leader drinking the death eight shots of espresso drink. In all honesty, she couldn't understand how Emma could drink that. Well, most of them couldn't understand how she could drink.

Jieun hadn't tried the drink because she did not have a death wish, but the ones who have always said that it was strong and bitter. She wasn't gonna lie, she was really curious about the taste.

Emma noticed the twin staring at her and walked up to Jieun. "Dude you need to stop looking at my drink like its poison and bad when you haven't even tried it"

"Emma that's literally eight shots of espresso" Jieun exclaimed as she pointed at the dark brown drink.

"Buts it's good, try it", Emma told her as she handed her the cup.

Jieun hesitated to take it, but in the end, she took and drank from it. The moment the coffee hit her tastebuds, Jieun felt like she was gonna pass out from how strong the coffee was. She felt her soul leaving her body for a moment and that was something.

"Shit, that's strong and bitter", Jieun said in between coughs, "oh my god I think I'm going to heaven"

Emma looked at her with a blank expression. "stop being dramatic"

"Jesus christ how can drink that? Let the lord and Jesus bless your soul" Jieun continued.

Emma just playfully rolled her eyes and called everyone to the center to start practice, and that was how another day of practice started.
