Chapter 5: Problems

✴

I sprint, entering the college entrance to see a fuming Nara.

"Hey Lee Eunbi! Why are you late??" Nara asks, annoyance can be seen clearly on her face.

"Sorry. I have some issues at home." I smile sheepishly, mentally cursing Cha Eun Woo in my mind.

"Ughh.. Whatever. Now, lets go." We start to walk to our class. Nara and I have been best friends since high school. You can say she knows everything about me and she can read me like an open book.

"Do you hear about the rumours?" Nara speaks up as we enter the building.

"What rumours?"

"Rumours about our former classmate, Lee Dong Min – also known as the visual of ASTRO, Cha Eunwoo." Nara has a dreamy look flashes across her face as she describes Eunwoo before her face turns normal again, "I heard he's sick." Hearing his name, I gulp in nervousness.

I can't tell anyone about Eunwoo. Not even Nara.

Nara notices that, she narrows her eyes, staring at me. "Don't tell me you're worried about him?"

"N-no.." I look away, avoiding her gaze.

"I'm right, you're worried about him. I told you to move on, didn't I?! He freaking rejected you before so why bother worrying over that jerk?!" Thankfully, Nara mistakens me this time. Lucky for me.

"Eii, I have move on. I don't even like him anymore." I nudge her playfully.

Liar, my conscience comments.

Shut up. I mentally scold myself.

"Huh.. As if I believe you.." Nara rolls her eyes and before she can further the topic, we have arrived at our classroom.

Thank god.

After class, I have to go the dance club meeting. So, Nara left first without me. When I arrive at the dance room, almost everyone is there.

Yuju waves her hand, gesturing me to sit beside her which I did. We have a small talk before our club president, Soonyoung sunbaenim, starts the meeting.

It's about a dance competition next month. This is a great chance for someone who wants to become an idol as some entertainment companies will come to watch the competition. We might get chosen to sign a contract with one of the companies if we're lucky.

I'm not that interested though. I'm not fond of dancing. I entered this club just because every students have to join a club for their curriculum record.

"Every members have to enter this competition, full stop. " What?! "Thank you for coming and you guys can dismissed now." The club president smiles before walking away.

I frown, the thought about the competition is disturbing me.

How can I compete when I am practically a wooden human? Pleasee, don't let me embarrass myself later.

God, what should I do now?
