[ ep. 02 : I am here ] pt 3

[ the next day ]

I woke up, got ready . ate and headed to the studio, the staff told me to go to. when I entered there were only a few trainees, partly because I'm early.

so I went to the corner and practice whatever was taught yesterday. soon I was joined by zhanghao who leaned on my shoulder as I practiced singing the song.

"nice" he said when I was done, giving me a thumbs-up. I looked up from the lyrics sheet and smiled at him through the mirror.

"hi, I'm junhyeon " a guy from kgroup came and introduced himself. "you're really pretty" he told me and I smiled replying with a "thank you".

junhyeon, junhyeon as in the guy who shouted during the first star evaluation thing. he's absolutely mental and I'm here for all of it. he had me laughing til I fell off my chair. absolutely insane.

we were doing group checking and then we did it one by one. junhyeon went first. as I said this guy is insane, his eyes were going up and up and up.

his pitch go up, his eyes also follow suit.

then keita and haruto were asked to sing and haruto said he's "tone-deaf" . just for everyone's information, he isn't. he got the word wrong.

"jiaqi, let's try"

alright. I sang the song stably, thank the stars. my praying did help. Once I ended, applause filled the room making me smile.

"wow, you're good. Good job" master solji told me and I bowed replying with a thank you.

" okay take a break. later master baek will come and check on the choreography " vocal master solji said and tapped her clipboard before leaving the studio.

many grabbed their water and sat at some corners of the studio. I did the same, and sat at the corner next to a blue haired guy. Park hanbin, that's his name.

"nice hair" I told him, he smiled and his dimples showed. one thing I noticed is that, many of the guys have dimples. I like dimples they're really cute.

I think it's also one of the korean beauty standards. I pressed my cheeks to get dimples, I mean it was a hack I saw on tiktok during or before the covid-19 period. I can't really recall. but you get what I mean, I don't have natural dimples and I love dimples and find them so cute.

" thank you, you're really good at singing. " he told me and I returned the gratitude.  " you're not bad either " I told him and we smiled.

it was silent for awhile, before yujin started practicing the choreography.  I'm sure we all know how much yujin wants to prove himself, especially to master baek.

so when master baek gave him harsh criticism later on, we all sympathised with yujin. hearing the harsh criticism towards gyuvin and yujin made me worried.

"why were you worried?"
" everyone from yuehua team don't really get outside lessons. we're not so good at memorising"

☆

"keita hyung" I called. "yea?" he replied and I looked at him and pointed to my bottle which was no two steps further than where he was.

he looked at it then at me. "get it yourself " he said then focused back on his lyrics sheet. I was lying on the floor, lazy to move. plus I was comfortable if I move it'll be difficult to find back this comfortable position.

"keita hyung pleasee"
no avail. he shook his head.

"zhang hao hyung..." I haven't even started asking and he said "no" then practiced the choreography.  I groaned as I pushed myself off the ground to get my water bottle.

while doing so, I heard chuckle coming from keita and zhanghao. okay. noted.

☆

the rest of the day we spent time practicing together, while practicing we made sure no one skipped meals and took breaks when needed.

" jiaqi come here" a staff called me into the room. "so you know we've been calling trainees in and out of here right?" they asked and I nodded. "we want you to call someone you miss" they said.

I got my phone and dialed my mother's number. it rang, on the the 3rd ring the phone was answered.

"妈妈(mommy)"
"喂，你终于打给妈妈了啊( hello, you finally called me ) "
“嗯，妈妈我想你了（Well, mom, I miss you. ）”
“怎么就哭了啊？我们也很想你。辛苦吗？(Why, are you crying? We miss you too. Is it tough?) ”
“辛苦，但我可以的 （It's tough, but I can do it）  ”
“你当然可以的，你是我的女儿嘛。我女儿是最棒的（Of course you can, you are my daughter. My daughter is the best ）”
“妈妈我爱你（mommy i love you）”
“妈也爱你（mommy loves you too）”

then the call ended, I looked at the staffs with teary eyes. one handed me a tissue before I left. I went back to the studio wiping the tears from my eyes and throwing the tissue away.

talking to my mom made everything that felt tough, easy. my mother's voice was comforting, and reassuring. it will act as my engine to be better. be the best version of myself and debut.

the next day we did the Signal Song test. I maintained in all stars. thank the stars. thank the masters. thank all my angels.
