A Dream and A Bonus || BANGCHAN

26. "Are we interrupting?"

It's been a month since I last saw Chan, and I missed him so much. I missed the boys and seeing how they teased each other and how they teased me and Chan, acting like we're hormonal sixteen-year olds, and they're our parents.

But in a few days, they'll be home, and I can finally see him again. It just made me sad knowing this was how our relationship would be. Half the time we wouldn't be together because he'd be gone or performing, or we'd be working hard to get our music out. Yes, our schedule would be way more flexible as we work for ourselves, but that doesn't mean we will stop everything for my boyfriend. It would be insane and unfair.

"Solos. You sure?" Ross asked, and I turned to Vic. It was her idea to do solos this time, so she makes the decisions. It might be our last solo for now since our song would be out in a few weeks and we needed our photos and the video ready first. And since we just finished filming and taking our photos the day before yesterday, it was going to be a while before it's all done and edited and ready.

"Yes. I had a song in mind since a few months ago, when we were almost leaving. And I don't think it'll suit all of us." She turned to me and then back to Ross. "And I thought each our own song." She smiled a proud smile, and Ross nodded. His eyes scanning Vic's face before nodding.

"Okay. You have Benjamin's number." He spoke of our vocal coach/music teacher from school. He helped us reach better notes when he saw what we started and offered to help us. We ended up paying him per lesson even as he said no, but we couldn't use him like that, especially since we're no longer students.

"Yes. I'll call him, and we'll go over the songs." I spoke as I started typing out a message to him. Sending Chan also a quick text saying I miss him, I quickly sent Benjamin our request to see if he has enough time for a lesson today.

'It's okay! I'm free at 12pm.' Benjamin's message came through, and I gave a thumbs up.

"12pm, he said. So lessons start then."

"Have we decided on a song? Benji needs to know." Ross asked as we sat drinking warm honey tea.

I didn't have a song to express my feelings at the moment, but I did have a favorite in mind. Nodding, I took a big sip. It was only 10am, so we had some time before our lessons. If we start recording at 2pm, each member gets approximately 3 hours on the mic, we could finish it all today to edit tomorrow.

"Yes. Never really over. By queen Katy." Vic smiled as she spoke, and I felt a bit bad for her. Because the song implies simply never getting over someone and she who deeply loved her ex, it made me sad. But I nodded and said nothing because maybe this was how she healed. Maybe this was her mourning. I wouldn't judge her process.

"I have two options. 'Break up with your girlfriend' or 'pov'. Both by Ariana. I'm not sure which one yet.

"Pov." "Definitely Pov." Vic and I said at the same time, causing us to laugh and high five.

"Yeah, your voice will go well with that song. So yes." I explained as I got up and washed out my cup. I stood against the counter and crossed my arms. Madi played the song and then practiced some of her high notes, and we all cheered when she ended up sounding good.

"What about you?" Vic pointed at me with her cup, and I sighed.

"I want to do a Lewis Capaldi song. I love his voice and think I can really reach those notes. It's a challenge, and I'm hungry to win it." I shrugged it off as if it were nothing, but I was also scared Benjamin would say I can't and it'll damage my voice. But I could quickly find a plan B. But I won't because I was positive.

"Okay, I'm leaving. You don't need me here anymore, so don't call unless your house is on fire or you went viral again. Bye girls." Ross joked as he got his jacket and his other small things.
