Forever? (GIDLE - Soyeon x Soojin x Shuhua)

1 ~ First Meeting

Shuhua's POV 🐺🤎
A/N: At this point Shuhua's Korean isn't that good so for speech she doesn't understand, I'll type in hangul but translation will be in [brackets] ❤️

My heart was beating as I stood outside the dance studio. It is time for my first monthly evaluation and I hope that the dance routine I've prepared would be sufficient. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and entered.

Once inside, I see most of the trainees have already reached and are doing last minute practice for their upcoming evaluation.

"Settle down everybody! The evaluation will start now!" The instructor's voice rang out from the corner of the dance studio. She then made her way to a chair in front of the mirror with a pen and clipboard in hand. Everyone quickly sat down near the back wall facing the instructor. Since I just entered, I quietly went to sit right at the back as I didn't know any other trainees.

"Alright, who wants to volunteer to be the first?" The instructor called out. A shorter girl with mid-length brown hair raised her hand and stood up. "네, 전소연. 준비가 되면 시작하세요. [Yes, Jeon Soyeon. Please start whenever you're ready.]"

Damn, although this girl may be smaller than me, but her talent and charisma is no different from famous idols already performing on stage. She did everything for her evaluation: she danced, she sang, she rapped and she even played the piano!

Waaaa... Daebak... I silently commented, or so I thought.

"네, 소연이 찐자 잘해다. [Yes, Soyeon's really good.]" A quiet voice popped up beside me. I looked to my right and see a girl with long black hair and plump red lips looking at me.

"Eh, 미안해요. 제가 모르겠어요... [Sorry. I don't understand]" I replied. It's only been a month since I came to Korea so I only know a few simple phrases from kdramas and kpop songs, which are barely enough to get me through the day.

The other girl nodded and simply pointed at the girl who's currently performing and gave a thumbs up. "Jeon Soyeon. Good." I finally understood and nodded my head in agreement.

At this point, Soyeon's monthly evaluation has ended and everyone gave a her a huge round of applause, including me. The instructor also seemed pleased with her performance and gave her a thumbs up. Looking satisfied, Soyeon walked to the back of the studio and sat leaning against the wall to rest and catch her breath.

"야, 역시, 소연이 최고! [As expected, Soyeon is the best!]" The girl beside me turned to cheer on Soyeon and also gave her a thumbs up. From the back corner of the studio, Soyeon mouthed back thank you with a nod. I looked at her and gave her a thumbs up too. Soyeon smiled and gave me a simple nod as well.

The evaluation with the other trainees continued and I seemed to be one of the last few. After a few minutes, Soyeon has rested enough and came over to sit next to the girl beside me. The 2 chatted for awhile so I think they must be good friends. I hope I can make friends here too...

Suddenly, the girl with red lips turned to me and tapped me gently on the shoulder to get my attention. "Soojin" she said as she pointed to herself. Soyeon did the same to introduce herself even though Soojin already told me about her. Both of them looked at me as I pointed to myself and said "Shuhua". We all smiled at each other and shook hands.

Hmm maybe it's not that difficult to make friends after all~
