Maki felt a friendship between his fellow teammates and competitors, he didn't realize his friendly casual touches could be awkward, until a member made it obviously known.
Sorry.
Maki wanted to say right away to his fellow member, but cameras around them prevented this, all he offered was to discreetly switch places.
Mistake got fixed but will no doubt linger the back of his mind for awhile.
Once, the cameras were off everyone scattered to do various things. Maki caught up to his member before he left as well.
"Harua."
Harua turned to him with an neutral expression from that small face.
Maki tried apologizing. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable earlier."
"Oh." Harua then took noticed of Ej walking past them with a concerned look. "I'll see you tomorrow, Maki."
"Yeah, sure." Maki muttered under his breath as he watched them leave.

The next noon hour, half German trainee made sure not to bump into Harua by mistake in the dance studio.
During warm ups, Maki brought up a few shows he's seen but to his disappointment the other wasn't a fond of them.
Do they really have nothing in common? Total opposites, like Harua said?
"There's really no need to stress about it, Maki. So many of us, it's bound to happen." Harua tried cheering him up, as he's stretching his arms.
"But-"
"You and I are in this competition. That's one thing." Harua moved over to Maki's side making the younger freeze up.
Harua leaned into his ear to whisper. "Be honest with me. Do you hear a gentle bossy Korean voice in your head?"
"No?" Maki looked oddly at their Korean leader from across them.
