The next day Fiz talked to the manager, went through audition, and got the part. Rehearsals started the next week, and they rehearsed in their building. They gave her a bit of singing too even though she wasn't confident in herself. She kept on making mistakes in the singing.

Hobi and Fiz go for practices together and come back together. Even though she changed to a house, Hobi's house was a bit near to hers. So he picks her up everyday and walks her back home.

Fotatoe's friends ship her with Hobi as they thought they were cute together. They would say, "Fizzzzzzz, your boyfriend is here", whenever he comes to call her for rehearsals and she would just tell "He's not my boyfriend. Knock it off". Even though, she gets annoyed by all that, deep inside she kinda liked it too. xD

Hobi: I know it must be hard for you to learn all that rap, but I'm sure you're going to get it real soon.

Fiz: Thanks. ^.^

Hobi: Your friends must be proud of you.

Fiz: uhh... idk... ;-;

Hobi: They must be. Ahhh if you need any help, you can call me anytime ok?

Fiz: That's okay! I think I can manage.

Hobi: Well, sometimes it helps if someone's there to sing with you.

He said it with his sweet smile. She never knew that the note she had gotten long back was written by this guy with the sweet smile. Neither did he know that it was her who wrote the notes.....

                                                                               ****

The next day before their meeting, Fiz and Hobi had to go to Hobi's house again because he wanted to change into something a little nicer. The walk took about five minutes or so, and they didn't talk much along the way. She realized he was just like her; introverted/awkward in real life but extra hyped in chat.

His house was the fanciest home she'd ever been in. A moment later he saw her eyes travel to the painting that lined the walls.  He showed her around giving her a quick tour of the sitting room, the library, the den, and the family room, her eyes growing wider with each new room. His mom was out on the sun porch, sipping a mint julep and reading, and heard them talking. So she went back inside to say hello.

Fiz and Hobi's mom talked a bit while he was upstairs rifling through his closet for a clean shirt. As they started walking out, he heard his mom's voices again.

"Come on over anytime, Fatma!" his mom shouted. "You're always welcome here." Maybe she liked her because of the sweet behavior of hers.

They were having the meeting at the orphanage. They got there a couple of minutes early. The members talked about the where they'll be performing and showed her around. 

Kookie: Heyy.... Have some time to talk?

Fiz: Is it something serious?

Kookie: Aniiii why are you always serious? ;-; 

Fiz: ahhh i see. xD Go on.

Kookie: What is your goal in life?

Fiz: Huh? What kinda question is that? xD

Kookie: Answerrr! 

He said with his bunny smile.

Fiz: Well... I just wanna do something that would make people happy always. 

Kookie: Oooooo. Social service?

Fiz: Not really xD What about you?

Kookie: I really don't know. I think I'd just continue singing and my dream is the debut with my hyungs one day...

Fiz: That's cool. You will. Hwaiting~ 

It was silent for a while. To overcome that awkwardness, she asked:

"So how long have you been coming to the orphanage?

Kookie: 3 years now. 

Fiz: Oh. Does it make you sad or do you enjoy it here?

Kookie: Both. Some of the children here came from really horrible situations. It's enough to break your heart when you hear about it. But when they see us come in with presents and games, their smiles, just take all the sadness away. It's the greatest feeling in the world. And that's the reason why we do it. We juts want to continue this as much as we can.

He was practically glowing when he spoke.

Kookie: While we're here, do you want to stop in to see the kids?

Kookie: While we're here, do you want to stop in to see the kids?

Fiz: Sure, I'm excited to see them.

They both walked to where the kids were. The kids were crowded around a small television. Finally when they walked into the room, some of the kids turned around at the sound of their steps. "OPPAAA!" they all shouted happily when they saw him. He asked them how they were and played with them. Something in him attracted Fiz. She realized that he was such a gentleman.

One of the kids: IS SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND? YOU LOOK CUTE TOGETHER.

Kookie blushed at first but then he said that She was just a friend of his and that she was really nice. Fiz didn't know how to respond to that question. 

Hobi was nowhere to be seen. So she thought of not bothering him and Kookie insisted that he'd walk her home. While they were walking back, She said, "They're a nice bunch of kids." She shrugged awkwardly. "They surely are. I'm glad that you want to help them with us."

He turned to her and smiled. He knew there wasn't much to add after that, But she could tell he was still wondering about the kids and how to make this year special for them.
