The One Behind the Pretty Girl

Chapter 3 - Strangers

"Just on time, Jinnie. I knew you'd never be late," Chang-Suk greeted me as I enter the dance room. I could see everyone else there but they were talking amount themselves. My eyes searched for Dae-Joon immediately. I found him talking to Chae-Eun, both of them laughing and joking playfully. They looked like a couple out of a Kdrama.

"Jin-Ae, Welcome back! How was your break?" Mr Kang, my dance instructor asked. I don't know if I like him or not... He has weird ways of teaching us "life lessons". Once he gave us a tube of toothpaste each and told us to squeeze everything out. We did as he told us too and then he ordered us to try and put the toothpaste back into the tube. None of us could. He said that "We must always be careful of our decisions, when we make a mess, it'll be hard to clean it up." I get it but... It's useless. I'm still going to get myself into messes and get fight to get out of it the hard way even though I didn't need to get into the the mess in the first place.

"Nothing special, what about you?" I replied.

"Same old, travelling to Europe," he responded.

"Nice." I make my way to Dae-Joon, Chae-Eun and Chang-Suk. They're all talking about the idols.

"I really want to meet J-Hope! I want to learn some tips from him," said Dae-Joon.

"I want to meet V oppa! He's really kawaii!" Chae-Eun squealed.

"Puh-lease! Suga and Rap Monster can help me improve my music and rapping skills!" Chang-Suk argued.

"What about GOT7?" I asked.

"YYYAAASSSS GOT7!!! Soooo Kawaii!!" Chae-Eun squealed.

"I like them, their music is tight," Dae-Joon stated.

"I like them too," Chang-Suk agreed.

"Alright everyone! Simmer down! I've got an important announcement to make. This year, BTS and GOT7 will be attending the academy and this program. They will be placed into this class." He paused because everyone got really excited and started screaming. "However, they will not be starting to day." Everyone in the class had their jaws dropped. "They will be starting tomorrow but now, class is in session."

The rest of the class went on as usual. No new faces, no new routines. We started with stretches (and a few comments from Minah and her "gang"), then we moved onto the dance routines (everyone was flawless) and we finished off with few games. It was basically full of revision of what we had learned last year, all of the routines, dance moves and we played a few games. It was around 7pm when we had finished. It's a good thing I live near the school.

"See ya, Jin, Chang and Dae!" Said Chae-Eun as she waved goodbye. Her mother was picking her up.

"Bye guys!" Said Chang-Suk. He was also getting picked up by his mother.

"Bye!" I waved to both of them.

"Let's go home together Jinnie," said Dae-Joon. We would always walk home together every night after practice. He would walk me home first or we would go each other's home and sleep over.

"Okay," I replied. The walk only takes around 10 minutes. "Are you staying over tonight?"

"Do you want me to?" He smirked. He knew how to make me blush. If his smirk wasn't so godly, then I would attempt to hit him.

"Just answer the question," I avoided his question.

"Depends on if you want to come over, that is my answer."

"Yes, i want you to come over," I admitted.

"Good because whether you wanted me to sleep over or not, I will be. I did skip class after the staff released me. I ran home to get my stuff because I was planning to stay at your place tonight."

"... Okay then..." My heart starts beating faster and my face turns into a darker shade of red.

BEEP BEEP

I got a message from my dad.

Hey Honey, how are you? I'm sorry to notify you late but a few business men had offered us a lot of money if we let a group of people live in our house. It's only for the year and you might become very close with some of them. I don't know who they are but I do know that if they hurt you, then for every injury they cause you, the people I charge of them with times that by the money the offered us. I thought that you would get lonely in that big house all by yourself so i thought this would be a great idea. I know what you're thinking, "If they offered you a lot of money then why can't they use that money to buy a nicer house for themselves?" They can't because of some confidential reasons. Be kind to them and don't forget to tell me if they're causing you any trouble. I'm sure they'll behave.

Love,
Dad

What the hell? I have to live with a group of strangers? How many? What if they are criminals? What if I die? Wait, I have Dae-Joon with me. Tonight will be okay I guess...

"What was that about?" Dae-Joon asked.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," I replied.

"Come on Jin, I've heard a lot of weird things before and they all turned out to be true."

"Okay fine. Basically, a group of strangers are going to be living with me for the rest of the year."

"What the..."

"I know right?"

"Do you know who they are?"

"Nope. Not a clue."

"Moment of truth then," Dae-Joon said as we approached the front door. I took out me keys and unlocked the door. I hesitantly moved into my house. I took off my shoes and placed them onto the shoe rack but there was no space left for me. I could see 7 pairs of shoes taking up the entire rack. All of the shoes were big, they looked like they belonged to men. I left my shoe next to the shoe rack and so did Dae-Joon. I clutched onto his arm as we made our way to the living room. I could hear the sound of people talking and a few voices yelling. I was finally in the room when I had seven pairs of eyes staring at me.

"You must be Jin-Ae, right?" The tallest one asked me.

I couldn't speak so I just nodded my head. Just couldn't believe that the strangers were in fact... GOT7.
