Once we get to the company, we dash into the basement and enter our practice room with our equipment all set out.
I skip slowly to my metallic blue electric guitar, taking it out of the black case and slipping into the blue strap with a yellow cresent moon and 3 birds, as I instantly play a random guitar riff with a wide smile on my face.

"Nari loves her guitar more than she loves us.." Hyun frowns as she points over to me. I wink as I point a finger gun at her.

"Hey, did you guys know that there's a new band debuting in a few months?" Yuki asks as she throws her bag onto the sofa, plugging in her keyboard and testing it out. We all shake our heads with curious looks on our faces.

"Oh? Who?" Nabi asks as she plugs her red marble electric guitar into the large amplifier, strumming the strings a bit. Her strap was a row of roses to match with her stage name.

"I think I saw one of the members at the trainee lockers." Dasom says as she puts her mint blue hair up in a bun. "I think his name was Oh Seungmin or something."

"He sounds nice." Hyun says.

"What song should we warm up with?" Yuki asks as she connects the laptop to the speakers for the backing instrumentals.

"Should we do Let Me Be Sad by I Prevail since it's for a special stage?" Aera asks as she takes a seat at her drumset, taking out her worn out drumsticks. With a nod, Yuki begins to play the song, the metronome timing us, while she dashes to her keyboard.

"I'm holding back right now." Hyun starts. "Cause I'm numb to what's around."

After a few hours of practice and the group joking around, which were mainly Chunja and Nabi, we were now on break. It was just me in the room alone since the others went out for a bit.

"Hey, JJ!" Aera calls out, I look up at her from my phone as I take out an earphone. "Want to go get lunch? The others went somewhere else."
I nod slowly as I take my earphones out and wrap it around my phone after turning the music off, then putting a black mask on. I then get up from the mattress on the floor since our sofa was bombarded with our bags.

Both Aera and I then leave the band room, me shutting the lights off before we shut the door closed. But as soon as I turned around, Aera had already somehow take my wallet out of my jacket pocket and ran off with it.

My eyes widen as I then chase after her, calling out her name but not loudly as we were in the vocal training area where idols would go into a room either to do a live or to practice their singing and or intruments.

"Catch me if you can, loser!" Aera smiles as she taunts me by stopping and dancing a bit before running off again once I was near her.

"Mun Byeol!" I shout out, calling her by her actual name. "Come back here and give my wallet back, we aren't even-"

Before I finished my sentence, I got cut off by getting hit in the face with a door, then ending up in the floor as I held my nose in pain.

"Oh shit!" I hear. "I'm so sorry, are you ok?! Is your nose bleeding?!"
"I have no idea, I can't feel it right now." I chuckle as I look up and notice a mint haired boy.

His hair was obviously dead from the amount of dye used on his hair which did make it frizzy. Other than that, he had tan skin, almond shaped eyes and a beauty mark near one of his eyes. He was also wearing a white face mask. His shirt was a red and black striped polo t shirt over a white and black striped long sleeve. Even saying it makes it sound a bit unstylish but he somehow made it work.

I then notice the lanyard around his neck. It was a JYPE lanyard which meant he worked here, and since he's in a vocal room, he's an idol or trainee. I didnt recognise him as an idol, though, so he's probably a trainee.

"JJ?" I then hear from further down the hall. I lean a bit to the side and see Aera looking frantically for me, she then spots me on the floor with the boy in front of me. "JJ!" She then sprints to me as fast as she could, dropping to her knees and sliding over beside me. "What happened?"

"Well I heard a bunch of commotion happening here and it sounded like one of my bandmates, so I went to check it out. Then I opened my door and I hit her in the face.." The boy shyly says. Aera sighs as she tries to take my face mask off, but I slap her hand away.

"My nose is fine, don't worry." I say as I sigh and get up from off the floor, brushing myself off before grabbing my wallet back from Aera's pockets. "And I'll take this back, thank you."

"Are you sure you're ok?" The boy asks. I nod my head with a smile. Although a mask was covering it, I'm sure he could tell I was smiling since I do have an eye smile.

"Yes, I am." I softly say. "Take care." I then walk away from the boy after bowing my head at him, Aera doing the same as she trails behind me.

"Han Hyeongjun, he's a trainee here." She mumbles as we take a turn to go to the elevators.

"Why did you look at his trainee card?!"
