Tinnitus

Chapter 7

"Miyoung, lets try that one more time." The choreographer said.

The young trainee just nodded trying to catch her breath before moving into her starting position. 

Her debut date was set for middle of the next year, which meant she needed to train harder than before. Her nights would often go without sleep, sometimes missing meals, missing spending time with her. All sacrifices she knew would be worth it in the end. 'I can sleep after I debut.' She'd tell herself. 'I can hang out with the others after I debut'. She wouldn't let anything or anyone distract her from this goal she had been working on for years now.

"Miyoung!" Her choreographer shouted. "Focus! That was sloppy."

She stopped, giving a deep bow and apologizing, returning to her start position as her mentor started the song again. This time she completed the choreography perfectly. 

"That's more like it. Great job."

"Thank you so much."

"I think we can go through it once more and we can end it there for the day."

She nodded before centering herself one more time. The music started and she put as much energy as she could into the dance, moving to each beat with as much power as she could. Ending her performance with a smile and peace sign which earned her a chuckle from her choreographer. 

Receiving the feedback from her mentor always made her anxious but she knew she needed as much as she could get. Even though her debut wasn't for a little under a year, she knew there were things that she needed to improve on. 

Sitting down against the cool mirror, she pulled out her phone from her backpack and slumped against the cold surface. Unlocking her phone, she opened her messages to see a couple unread ones from Yeonjun. A giddy smile appears on her face as she taps to open the conversation. The last time the two had spoken, Yeonjun was preparing for his comeback and since then the two haven't spoken much. 

"Hey miss superstar." One message read making Miyoung laugh a bit at the screen.

"When were you going to tell me the news?" Another said with a couple eye rolling emojis. 

"I had to find out through Beomgyu."

She hadn't gotten the chance to tell really anyone about the announcement, it won't be made public for another couple months. However, news does travel pretty quickly within the company so she wasn't surprised that Beomgyu found out first.

Pulling up the keyboard she began to type a few letter before her phone began to ring. As if on cue, Beomgyu was calling. 

Answering it, she brought the phone up to her ear. "Hey Beom, I was just thinking of you."

A laugh came from the other side of the line before the man responded. "Thinking about how much you missed me?" 

"Ew. No." She said bluntly but you could practically hear her smile through the phone. "I was thinking of how me and Kai would record you talking in your sleep and post it for MOAs to see."

"Park Miyoung... You two wouldn't dare." He said dramatically.

"Of course not." She started with a laugh. "At least I won't." 

"If you do, I'll post a video of you tripping up the stairs when you debut."

Miyoung gasped. "Don't you dare, Choi Beomgyu."

"Anyways, you've been warned." An evil snicker came from the young man. 

"Oh! Speaking of debut, how did you find out about my debut?"
