Chapter 1 - Practice, Practice, Practice!
It's 8 a.m. I just finished breakfast and darn it, its raining outside. My car's worn out too, Yeonjun BETTER fix it soon. I guess i'll have to take the bus. I went to the bus stop by walking in the rain for a few minutes. Thank the lord i had a mini umbrella in my bag. The bus arrives. It'll problably take me around 6-7 minutes to arrive to the company building. My house isnt that far.

Theres loud music coming from the practice room. I walked towards it with my duffle bag and water bottle in hand, ready to start my practice session. It was supposed to be the 4 of us, Me, Hyejin, Yuna, and Lila but unfortunately Yuna is feeling unwell today so its just us. I opened the door to see the sight of Lika already dancing to the choreography of TWICE's song 'I Cant Stop Me', while Hyejin is stretching on the wooden floors.
I placed my duffle bag and waterbottle down at a bench againts the wall. Hyejin saw and greeted me with a big happy smile on her face, just as usual.
"Unnie! You're here a little late. Did you take the bus? Because you're early only when you drive by your own." She stood up now, stretching her arms,
"Ah, yeah. I figured i'd take a bus because my car was down. My brother is fixing it soon though!" I took a book out of my bag.
Hyejin gasped. "Yeonjun oppa? Ah, jinjja? Did you give him the chocolates i bought for him?" She asked eagerly.
"Ya, calm down Hyejin. I did give him the chocolates for gods sake." I rolled my eyes. I now took out a pen and started marking the calendar in my schedule book. This week was a bit busy, because everyone is practicing for the new group debut. The staff will only choose the really good ones, and im really excited!
Lila finished the choreography and turned to look at us. She sighed, wiping the sweat off her forehead. "Hyejin-a, i think you're becoming a little obsessed with Yeonjun, dont you think?" She sat down, resting for a moment. Then she grabbed her water bottle and took a sip.
Hyejin just rolled her eyes and i chuckled. Hyejin is the youngest amongst the four of us. She's 2 years younger than me, 17 years old. She's sometimes unbelievably silly but really sweet. Im the oldest, and they often rely on me the most because ive been here longer than them. Yuna and Lila are the same age, 18 years old and they go to the same school so they get along really well.
"Well, you should start warming up Kazuha! Let's all practice together to a new choreography. But its a hard one so you might need to stretch extra." Lila looked through her phone to find the music.
"Wanna warm up together, unnie?" Hyejin asked me, smiling. I dont know why, but i like when she calls me 'unnie'. It's adorable. "Of course!" I shifted towards her and we started doing our stretching routine like usual.

We finished our choreography, we danced to 'Black Mamba' by Aespa, and god damn that one part was hard. But of course, we all managed to do it. We dont give up, ever. You think we're that lazy? Puh-lease!
"ACK! My legs are cramping!- Ah, jinja.." Lila screamed. Me and Hyejin laughed at her, but i felt kinda bad. "Hey, Yuna will get to practice this choreo with us too right?" I asked, while doing a cool down routine.
"Yep." She answered, facing towards me. "I hope she feels better soon though. We all need to practice together, we cant miss a chance on all of us debuting together! I have high hopes we'll succeed." She smiled in confidence.
Hyejin came forward to the both of us now. "Im so excited! We might all debut together, im looking forward to our future." She jumped in happiness.
I trained for 10 years, ever since i was 9. I BETTER debut this year, Haha! But seriously, i trained a lot and for a long time. I have hope that i someday will succeed in my dream career, even if it takes 5 more years. Hopefully not..
