ISHITA CHOUDHARY

My legs were shaking.

Not the dramatic kind of shaking.

The real kind that happens when your muscles are completely exhausted but you still have to keep moving.

Instructor Min stood near the mirror, arms crossed.

"Again."

The music started once more.

Beside me, Seyeon, Haerin, and Jiyeon unnie quickly got back into formation.

Four of us.

The small trainee group the company had been experimenting with lately.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead quickly before taking position again.

The choreography started.

Step.

Turn.

Slide.

Spin.

I forced my body to keep up with the rhythm blasting through the speakers.

Every move had to be sharp.

Every angle perfect.

The mirrors in the practice room of HYBE Corporation reflected every mistake.

And the trainers noticed everything.

"Stop."

Instructor Min suddenly raised her hand.

The music cut off.

All of us froze.

She looked directly at me.

"Ishita."

My stomach dropped.

"Yes, sunbaenim."

"Step forward."

I did.

The other three girls moved slightly back.

Instructor Min walked slowly around me, analyzing.

"You're a good dancer," she said.

Relief almost hit me.

But then she continued.

"But your synchronization is weak."

I swallowed.

"Sorry, sunbaenim."

She pointed toward Jiyeon.

"Follow her timing."

Jiyeon unnie was the strongest dancer in our group.
