got my eyes on you | zhang hao, sung hanbin

Chapter 7

Oh, the night was long, very long indeed.

Zhang Hao was put into the spotlight and was asked to talk about himself first and foremost before the other boys introduced themselves.

The red haired boy introduced himself, saying his name and age. "What? That's it? Talk moreee!" Yechen nudged him on his sides.

Hao gaze scanned over the room and he nervously diverted his eyes on his floor for a moment, feeling a little too overwhelmed by the attention. "I... was a music teacher in China," he muttered, trying his best not to show that he was feeling a little shy.

"Ooh!"

"No wonder your violin playing was good!"

"So that's how you're good at singing!"

Before Hao turned into a shy tomato mess, the conversation naturally moved on to how the training has been so difficult although they were only a few days into the show.

"Does anyone remember when the first episode is airing?" Someone asked. "Mm, I don't think there's a confirmed date," another Chinese trainee responded.

"Oh! Hanbin asked a staff member and they said it's going to be late January or early February. It's going to depend on how long the Signal Song filming will go on for," Hao said remembering that Hanbin had told him that earlier before he left.

"Makes sense!" The person who asked the question said.

"You talk to Hanbin? Which Hanbin?" Hao recognised them as one of the Japanese trainees. "There is another Hanbin?" The red haired boy was confused at that. It wasn't that he was not paying attention to the people around him, but he was just terribly bad with names and faces.

"Well, doesn't that confirm it? He's talking about Sung Hanbin, the K group center!" Kuanjui laughed and the others chuckled.

"I did see you two hangout and eat together from time to time," Yechen commented. While the others conversed about the difference in training in their own company versus the show, Yechen and Hao quietly talked between themselves.

"I'm sorry I couldn't have a meal with you since the show started," at Yechen's apology, Hao shook his head. "It's fine, we should make new friends and meet new people at a place like this."

The two had known each other since they were in China. Hao was Yechen's little cousin sister's music teacher and the two had discovered the similarity in their dreams to pursue an idol career.

Hao was the one who encouraged his friend to join the show together with him, and while it was true the two didn't keep in touch all that much, they were good friends.

The night went on, with silly games, random dance battles and singing while playing the guitar. Some of the Korean trainees who decided to remain in the dorms had joined them too after some time, like Lee Seunghwan, Yoon Jongwoo and surprisingly, few of the Wakeone trainees m, including Taerae.

It shouldn't have come as a surprise to Hao, since Min, Haruto and Anthonny were indeed in the room all along.

"You didn't go?" The older asked as Taerae sat down next to him, a dimple adorning the younger's face as he smiled brightly at him.

"Some of us decided to stay here because we wanted to rest up and then go hangout tomorrow," Taerae responded. "Understandable," the Chinese boy nodded.

The night had become a great stress reliever and socialising activity for the trainees from varying nationalities. It was truly was night that Hao thoroughly enjoyed after a long time.

Eventually as the night went on though, some trainees went to other rooms for the night as they waved at each other.

There were now only a few handful of people left in the room. Chen Jianyu, whom Hao recognised as a handsome young guy asked, "Does anyone want to hangout tomorrow and go out tomorrow?"
