Everything was fine as INFINITE was supposed to debut as 7 boys. Yet, 2 months before their debut, a 8th member is added: a female member. Shin Ri A. She becomes the new maknae, INFINITE becomes a co-ed group, and RiA isn't used to 7 VERY cute boys...
I was in the nearby field with my members. I came a bit late...and I wondered if that would've been my first impression on them. They were already in the middle of practicing our debut song,"Come Back Again (다시 돌아와)". Geez, it looked hard. I don't know if I'll be able to do that EXACT same dance. How did they pull it off?! Once after they finished, Sungkyu was the first member to notice me walking towards them.

"Look! Ria's here." The rest of the members noticed me as soon as he said that. I have a feeling that eyes were all on me, like I'm on a stage. I'm not used to getting all this attention.
"Hi..I'm here for my first practice."
"Ria, would you like to try dancing to the song?" Woohyun asked. I gave him a glare like I did last week, when we first met. I haven't even practiced the song...
"Are you sure you want me to try? This is my first practice, and I'm worried that I'll mess up on the actual debut stage." I was worried if this would really happen, because I can get paranoid sometimes...
"Ria, don't worry about it. If you make a mistake, we'll help you fix it. Don't worry, you have us." L said. I blushed. That was so nice of him to say. I put my hair up in a ponytail and took a long and deep breath. This was going to be hard, but I'll make it through. [Play the video while reading the next few paragraphs, please.]
I heard the music start. I began with a little trip. I was beginning to move around along with the beat.
When the members saw me, they were surprised. I wasn't even there for 5 minutes and yet, my dance was FLAWLESS. Okay, I lied. There was only minor flaws, but I still did well. At the end, my sweat nearly took over my face.
"Daebak, Ria! I can't believe that your dancing is as good as ours!" Sungjong was in awe of how quickly I can learn.
"I'm a fast learner. Whenever I see something, I learn from it."
"Geez, you're amazing, Ria. I've never met someone with a ability like yours." Dongwoo said. I blushed and giggled. Typical girl stuff. I'd never got a compliment like that. Maybe being like this won't be a bad thing after all.
