"Jung Yein!" I was taken aback when our dance teacher shouted. Well, she always shouts her ass out but I still, am afraid everytime she does that.

"Y-yes, saem." And my stuttery answer went on its way again.

"Do you really want to debut or what?! You've been spacing out the whole day! Again!"

"Ne!" We all shouted and Soojung eonni gave me a slight pat on my shoulder.

We executed the dance steps she taught us a while ago. We have been repeating this for how many hours already and I already got to memorize it. But the problem is, something's bothering my mind and I don't even know what it is! Frustrating.

"1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, 6, 7, eigh- Yein! Are you off just now?!" aaand saem's good eyes noticed me again. sigh.

"Sorry saem." I said bowing a little and clasping my hands at my back. Well, her nagging is a lot, but in my former training company, the nagging is worse. That's a part of training I guess?

"This won't do. Let's have a break. Come back at 1:00 pm. Make sure to have all your senses back people. Go." Saem said or was it specifically for me?

"Ne." We all said in unison and just fell on the floor as soon as our dance teacher went out the practice room.

"Wah! Dance saem sure nags a lot these days!" Sujeong eonni said pouting and eventually lied on the floor.

"Maybe she got dumped." We laughed because of the serious comment by Myungeun eonni who's staring blankly at her feet.

"Maybe that's true." Mijoo eonni seconded while laughing. "Anyway, Yah! Jung Yein! What's with you? You've been  dancing blankly. What are you thinking? Did your mind left your body already? What? Did you do something punishable by law and you can't stop thinking about it? or, Did you gain weight and can't get rid of it? What?!" Mijoo eonni bombarded me with questions while putting both her hands on my head and turning it from side to side, up and down.

"Ah eonni it hurts!" I complained while laughing. "My mind is here, intact." I said while pointing at my head.

She removed her hands and just went back laying on the floor. Wah they surely are this tired.

"But seriously, Yein-ah, you need to focus. I know you have the shortest time here that's why you need to double the effort." Soojung eonni added.

I timidly nodded and smiled. They're right. I've been here the shortest so I need to extend my efforts. These things that bother me should be put aside.

"But if something's bothering you, you know we're just here." Jisoo eonni said smiling at me.

"Yein-ah when you're mind is flying around, make sure to get it back fast." Jiyeon eonni jokingly said.

"Ei eonni, where would my mind go?" I replied.

"Who knows." She replied with a light shrug and continued drinking her water.

"Whereelse would her mind go if not with her last dance partner?" JiAe eonni said with an innocent face while getting something from her bag. Geez. This eonni really knows what to hit.

"Oh that's why." they almost agreed with each other. Ha! This eonnis really! Hmp. You'll have your time from me, jinjja.

"Eonni-deul! You know that's not true!" I retorted. I know what they are thinking and It. Is. Not. True!

"Aigoo~ Yeah. Yeah. Stop creasing your forehead. And just eat some ... cookies. Here." Jiae eonni said while handing me the cookie. "And stop your defense mode. Your nose holes are getting larger." They all laughed as I reached the cookie she gave me.
