Chapter 2.
Flashback
- The test this time is duet singing, we won't random draw like the previous time, but I will assign it, Minji sings with Yoohyeon, Gahyeon sings with Handong, Bora sings with Siyeon - Dara's vocal teacher speak clearly.
- What? – Siyeon panicked, her voice was enough for the whole audience to be startled to hear.
- Why are you reacting so strongly, Siyeon? the song you two have to perform is "Goodbye" by Taemin sunbaenim, any more questions?
At the end of the class, everyone rushed out of the room, and Siyeon stayed to talk privately with teacher Dara.
- Ma'am, can you give me a duet with someone else?
- What is the matter?
- It's just…hmmm…I don't think my voice and Bora's voice are suitable for a duet.
- Siyeon, being a good singer is not finding someone who can sing with you, but you have to be someone who can adjust to fit any voice, I don't see any problem with you and Bora duet, please accept and try. The voices of the two of you are a bit similar, if you and Bora harmonize it would be great.
- But... - Siyeon grimaced, scratching her head, she was extremely frustrated.
- Hey Siyeon, isn't this your chance? – Teacher Dara pushed up the frame of her glasses a little.
- Huh?
- You always want to win against Kim Bora, don't you, do a duet with her to prove that you're the one who should be at the top, not her, practice with this mindset okay?
Siyeon was surprised, teacher Dara said very reasonable. That's right, she needs to seize this opportunity.
- Yes.
At first, Siyeon thought it was enough just to sing, but who knew that the song that teacher Dara assigned was a song with choreography. Which means she and Bora have to dance together.
Dance is Bora's strong point, she can't beat Bora in this area. So the two's practice session takes place in the state that Bora is teaching Siyeon to dance, and when practicing singing, the two will give their opinions to give suggestions and build a perfect cover.
- Siyeon, this part you have to raise your arms even more - Bora took Siyeon's hand and placed it in the right position.
Currently both are practicing Siyeon standing in front, Bora in the back, she will stroke Siyeon's arm while Siyeon lifts the arm. This move shortens the distance between the two significantly.
Bora was so close to Siyeon that she could hear Bora’s ragged breathing.
Siyeon is very tense, she is tense not because of the difficult choreography, but because of this reluctant almost zero distance. The closer she got to Kim Bora, the more she lost her temper, during these trainee years, the thing she wanted to do the most was get away from this cold arrogant person, beat Bora on every chart, and enjoy moments of peace and comfort.
But things did not go so easily, she could not find peace because every day she had to practice singing and dancing with Bora.
- You sweat too much - Bora touched Siyeon's cheek with her hand, wiping away the sweat that was stuck on it.
Siyeon instinctively pulled her face away a little to avoid that interaction. She and Bora had just finished dancing and were resting before going back to their own dorm. She is a person who has a tendency to sweat more than the average person, they need to exercise for an hour to sweat, she only needs 5 minutes to get her whole body wet.
