Should've Held Onto You (CHA EUNWOO)

6 - Practice

It had been surreal thus far, the idea that my old and new friends were slowly becoming stars. It was weird to think that these normal high school students were on their way to fame and fortune. Stepping into Fantagio Entertainment, I was slapped in the face with reality. For years, I had firmly believed Dongmin would become a famous actor. I had continuously said it, but I guess I never fully understand what I was saying, what it entailed. It's happening. He and Bin will have screaming fans and late night performances and practices till he drops and girls fawning over them. They'll have so much more than their normal life could've ever given them- than Sumi or I could ever give them. Thinking about it made me sad, so I took a breath, clearing my mind of the bad and reminding myself of the good:

My best friends's dreams are coming true, and I have Fantagio to thank for that. Six goodhearted and talented boys are getting what they deserved. I heard a bit of Sanha singing in the car, and for being so young, he's got a killer voice. Sumi talks up all of them pretty avidly, so it's been hyped up a lot here.

The boys waved to those in the lobby, and we took an elevator up to the floor with their practice room.

"Alright the dance room is right there, we're going to change into more comfortable clothes. Make yourselves at home!" Jinwoo grinned once more.

Sumi led me over to the room. There wasn't much to it, but it felt like a place where memories would surely be made.

"I'm excited," Sumi exclaimed, "I think they might show us their debut song."

"Can they do that?" I asked. I know in the Kpop business there's so many rules.

Shaking her head, she said, "No, but, because Eunwoo's in love with you, he'll pull a few strings."

"He's not in love with me, Sumi," I rolled my eyes as we took a seat on the couch against the furthest wall.

To be honest, I wasn't lying. I honesty didn't think that Dongmin loved me. Sure, two years ago, I would believe it, but now.. It'd been too long. If he even did still have feelings for me, I'd feel bad for keeping him "strung along" for two years while I was gone.

Sumi gave me a look. "Anyways, do you still love him?"

"No."

"Wae?!?!" She shrieked.

"Ah, stop it!" I held my ears while laughing a little. "It's been two years since I talked to the guy. He's always been one of my closest friends. I'll always like him, but isn't it natural for people to fall out of love in long distance?"

She frowned. "But you're meant to be.."

I shook my head at her. "You're funny."

"Wait.. are you already with someone?! From America?? WHAT ABOUT MY SHIP, MIYEONG?" She stood up, practically screaming. At this, I jolted up, placing a hand over her mouth.

"Yah! I don't want to get kicked out of here, we just got here."

Sumi ignored me, "It's that 'Jay' kid, isn't it? I'll kill him!"

"Hey, hey! Easy.." I widened my eyes at her, whispering, "Crazy.." Once she had calmed back down, I said, "I don't have a boyfriend. Jay likes me, but I've never felt we would ever be anything more than friends."
