November 2024
Galaxy starts the month by filming a new episode of their YouTube reality show. Youngie was glad as she hoped it'd distract her mind from her recent date with Beomgyu.
The premise was to write a song by the end of filming. They begin by freestyling on their instruments.
"I think if I repeat this cord we can have a good chorus going." Jia says, strumming the strings of her electric guitar.
"I can do a 4-count beat!" Mei cheers, spinning her sticks before starting on a steady drum beat. "Youngie give us a melody!"
Youngie glances at the keyboard in front of her before looking at the camera.
"Maybe I can be the lead singer for this one. The keyboard would just fade into the background anyway."
"Oh so you want to sing the most lines?" Hayoung ask, tuning her guitar.
"Well I'm thinking more of being the only person who sings. Kind of like how things were before... " She eyes Mei up and down without a word before turning back to Hayoung.
Mei looks down, confused by the hostility.
"Why would we want things to be like that again? I think were all happier now when we all get to sing." Hayoung tries to play it as a joke for the camera but hopes Youngie takes her seriously.
But one member who wasn't afraid of confrontation was Jia.
"I thought you loved playing piano." She pretends to pout but has a glare in her eyes.
"I do, but... " Youngie's words fade off, not able to defend herself.
She eventually gives in, everyone playing their instruments and singing the lyrics they wrote by the end of the video.
Jia waits for Hayoung and Mei to disappear before approaching Youngie.
"Hey so what was all that about?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh I don't know Ms. 'Let Me Have All the Lines'. Also I'm surprised you were dissing your new best friend Mei."
Youngie rolls her eyes, not understanding why Jia is still caught up on that.
"I was just trying to make things more interesting."
"By throwing us to the side? Using us to up your fanbase?"
"Kind of like how you're using Soobin?" Youngie snaps making Jia freeze.
"I'm not using him! I like Soobin."
"And did you tell him that or did you just tell him to meet you at night?"
"I know your not criticizing what I do with boys. Because when I talk to Soobin, which we do talk, he tells me about how upset Beomgyu has been. Do you know anything about that?"
Now's Youngie's turn to freeze, a soft pain in her heart when she hears his name.
"I- "
"Save it. I don't know why your on a power trip over a couple thousand Instagram followers but it shouldn't be worth hurting everyone who actually loves you." Jia ends, looking at Youngie, waiting for a response that she never gets.
