Ice cubes.

That's what keeps Misuk keep sane when she's starting to depersonalize. You know, when you feel disconnected from your own self, like you are outside of your body.

That's what she has been dealing with ever since she became a trainee, but now she knows ways to control it. Ice cubes was one of those.

The stylists were so confused when she politely told her manager to get a cup filled with ice, especially since it was freezing cold in the waiting room. They probably thought she was insane.

For a whole week, Misuk was chosen to be the substitute MC for one of the biggest music shows in the country, Music Bank, and she wanted to have ice cubes before going live.

Not even a meal. Ice cubes.

She knew she was bound to have this breakdown when the company asked if she wanted and could do the job, but she still said yes because she knew it was an important thing for her and the group and as the oldest, she wanted to set a good example.

Misuk had never done anything remotely close to hosting a show, but the three girls debuted only three months ago and getting opportunities like this so fast doesn't happen often, so she needed to do well. She just had to get some ice cubes first.

"Am I supposed to be this nervous?"

"Yes!" everyone inside the room replied in unison and Misuk exhaled tiredly.

The place was full of strangers. People walking in and out. Someone was working on her hair while another was finishing up her eye makeup. She was truly feeling like a star. Jenn and Haneul were the only people she knew and they were laughing at how nervous the girl seemed. They were glad it wasn't them.

"Here you go" nova's amazing manager, Hana, handed her the paper cup with mini ice cubes inside and Misul threw her a kiss as a response. "Your friend was outside. He wanted to meet you, but I told him you were too nervous."

"What friend?" Haneul questioned immediately. She was such the leader after all. "Was it a guy?"

Misuk turned around aggressively to face her manager and remembered she was getting her hair done. "I'm so sorry, I'll stop moving around so much now."

"The Enhypen guy, the one you went to school with."

The Enhypen guy.

Park Sunghoon.

Former seat mate. Current crush.

The three girls shared a glance and like clockwork, they started squealing with joy. The stylists laughed at their adorable reaction. Misuk could swear she has never blushed this much before.

She grabbed her phone from the huge vanity where it was laying and saw all the couple of messages the poor guy sent before coming over.

Annoying Sunghoon
Do you wanna meet before the show or after?

I'm just gonna go to your waiting room :)

"He texted her all day!" Jenn screamed. "Unnie, he's so in love with you."

"We are friends who haven't seen each other in almost a year" Misuk reminded her. "He's not in love with me at all."
