         And on that day,we were practising how to sing.
         And Got7 was with us,cheering us. I was singing the rap portion.
          I am sure I was not bad. But,junior asked me to sing again and again.
         "Erika... can you please sing properly???"
          Many times,I repeated my portion.
          "Cant you hear me??? Sing properly"
           Of course,I know I was better than the others. But that junior didnt say anything about others. Frustrated,I tried again.
         "Yah Erika.....!!! How many times should I repeat??? Sing it right. You sound like a crow"he yelled.
        I was shocked at his comment. I couldnt control my tears. Tears were flowing down my cheeks, non stop. I couldnt stand there. I simply ran away from the studio crying.
Youngjae's POV
           Junior scolded Erika harshly. I wanted to scold him but right at that moment,I wanted to pacify Erika.I want to find her. I ran after her. I searched her everywhere,but she was not there. At last I found her in the corridor of got7's studio. Because we were all in their studio and our studio was the only place where she could be alone.
          I went near her. She was crying uncontrollably. I placed my hand on her shoulder and sat besides her.
      "Erika....."I called out.
       She looked upon me,crying.
       "Dont cry"I said.
       "Oppa....do I sound like a crow???"
       "Absolutely no. I dont know why he said like that. But you are awesome. You are definitely awesome. Dont mind his words"
         "Really...???but,Its seems like he spoke his heart. I feel like giving up"
          "Erika...what did I tell you at the auditions time?? Didnt I say that trainee life would be harder??? I also said not to give up. But,you easily say that you wanna give up."I somewhat yelled and continued in a calm voice "Erika....dont you remember when and why I first talked to you??? Dont you remember what I said in the 1st place??? Its your voice that made me talk with you. You please dont mind Junior. The others are by your side. Even if they are not, I am..." I smiled.
        She smiled back.
       "Komamo oppa. If you are not here, I would have really given up. You are always there, whenever I have troubles or whenever I am sad. Komawo...."
     "Its nothing Erika. You are my friend and its my duty to take care of you. Relax and dont mind junior"
Junior's POV
       'Were I too harsh towards her??? She went out crying. I am sorry Erika.. of course you were not bad,Erika.but....' I thought.
          Bambam in a sad voice asked me,"hyung...Erika was not bad. Her singing was good. I accept she made little mistakes but..she wasnt bad,right?? Dont you think you were too rude???"
         "Yes. I was harsh,I know. Of course she wasnt bad. But... I really dont like seeing her."
           "Why hyung???"
           "I dont know why but she reminds me of Rachel"
          "Rachel???do you think she could be her???"
           "No. She cant be. My Rachel is just perfect. But Erika is not."
          "Hyung...shall we ask Erika about Rachel??"
          "No. You must not ask her"
Youngjae's POV
          I asked Erika to rest in her room and came back to the studio. I overheard Jr's and bambam's conversation. Jr said that he was reminded of someone whenever he sees her. But,he cant be too harsh,right??         I went near them.
       "Why were you like that??" I asked jr.
       "Mianhae youngjae"
       "I dont need your sorry. Why were you like that???"
        He didnt answer.
        "Fine. Dont answer me. I eavesdropped your conversation already. Even if she reminds you of someone you must not behave like that.you were too harsh. Just remember,dont make her cry again. I am warning you..." I said and went away.
Erika's POV
        I hate him. I hate that junior. I really dont understand why he is like that to me. At first,I thought he will be the most friendly one. But,he is not. Youngjae oppa is more friendly. If he didnt pacify me, I would have gone. I feel really lucky to have him as my friend.
        Someone knocked my door. I opened and yugyeom was there. He smiled at me and dragged me out.
         "Yah..what are you doing???"
        "Come out..."
        "Why???"
        "Lets go somewhere. Come"
        "I am not coming anywhere"
        "You must..."
        "Yah...how can I come out with this dress???wait here.I'l change and come"
         "Araso"he smiled.
         I went back,changed and came out. Then again that pabo dragged me out. He pushed me inside the car. It was just like kidnapping me.
          "Where are we going??"
         "You will know when we reach there"
           "Yah....tell me now"
           "Wont you shut your mouth..."
           I kept quiet for awhile.
           "Yugyeom ah..!!! Where are we going"
          "Jug eul lae???"he starred at me.
          I kept quiet.
         "Yugyeom...."
         "Aish..!!! too noisy...."
        I pouted and started listening to their songs.
         He looked at me and chuckled.
         After 5 minutes,
          "We're here. Get down"
         I looked through the window. It was a park. I got down and we went in. He made me sit in the bench and went to buy ice cream.
        He came back with two ice creams in his hand and sat besides me. Then,without saying anything,he started eating his ice cream. I extended my hands to get my ice cream.
          "What???"
          "Ice cream..."
          "Who said its for you??"he raised his eyebrows.
          "Then why did you drag me here??? Give me my ice cream."
          "I just dragged you hear to accompany me. You see,everyone were busy.only you were free"
          "Yah...pabo!!! If you want my company,you must have bought me ice cream"
            I punched his arm.
           "Yah....its paining"he pouted.
           "Give me my icecream..."
           "aish...!!! Araso. Have this"
          I started eating my icecream. You see,whenever I eat icecream, I am totally a child. I dont mind the surroundings; Just eat the icecream like a kid.
          When I was eating, I could feel someone starring at me and looked at him.He didnt take his eyes out of me.
            I gave him a confused look.
           "Are you happy now???"he asked.
            I nodded.
            "Sorry,I couldnt do anything this morning when jr hyung scolded you"
           "Its ok,yugyeom. You already made me happy. Komawo...."
           He smiled and we talked there for sometime.
           "Shall we go???"
           "Yeah..lets go. Its getting dark" 
           We then went to the car.
           "Erika.... you were cute when you were eating the ice cream"
          I blushed.
          Then,we went back to our dorms.
