    It was a busy morning. Everyone was in a rush. They were busy preparing for the booths since the school festival is near. Students were running here and there, doing their best to make their booths prettier and presentable.

Yeonha and Guanlin was in their practice room with Seonho and Daehwi, Seonho's classmate and friend. He was helping the three prepare for their performance for the pageant. Daehwi suggested that they'll sing a song since Yeonha is a great singer while Guanlin can rap.

" I can't sing in front of an audience. " Yeonha said while Seonho nodded while looking Daehwi. He sighed and scratched his head, " Why not? Stage fright? " he asked and she nodded. Guanlin glanced at Yeonha, " Even if you have company on stage? " Guanlin asked and she nodded again.

" It would be a waste to not use your singing skills, noona. " Daehwi said while leaning on the table behind him, " Can you just try? "

Yeonha looked at Seonho and he just gave her a 'do it' look. She shrugged and scratched her head, " I-I don't know. " she said, Guanlin rested a hand on her shoulder and gave Yeonha a soft smile, " I'll be with you on stage so you don't have to be afraid. " He said. Yeonha just looked at him silently.

" You can just look at me while we're performing. " Guanlin said with a reassuring tone and she was indeed, reassured and flustered. " O-Okay. " she stuttered. His brother chuckled softly and immediately received a glare from Yeonha.

Daewhi clasped his hand together as he smiled, " Okay then! What song will you sing? " he asked. The two looked at eachother and shrugged. " Do you sing, Guanlin? " Yeonha asked. Guanlin shyly scratched his nape and smiled, " I can rap. "

" I can't seem to think of a song for our duet. " Yeonha said as she looked at him, he did the same and sighed softly. " Do you know the song, 'officialy missing you'? The Geeks and Soyou version? " Seonho asked.

" I've heard that song beforeㅡ " Seonho cut her sister off, " Of course you do, I play that song all the time. " he said, Yeonha rolled her eyes at him and he chuckled. " I can make arrangements for the song if you like. " Daehwi suggested, Guanlin and Yeonha smiled and gave him a nod.

" Shall we try practicing the song? " Seonho asked while waving the lyric sheets at the two. They took the sheets from him and studied the lyrics for a while. " Then, we can practice the blockings, choreography and whatever else we have the practice. " Seonho added. Both of them just nodded and continued to study the lyrics in front of them.

    They took a break for a while. Seonho accompanied her sister while Daehwi tagged along with Guanlin. They were staying at the cafeteria, with her face rested on her palms. Forming a grin on his face, Seonho chuckled softly receiving a confused stare from her sister.

" What? What's so funny? " She asked, the latter held in his chuckle and shook his head. " Nothing, nothing. " he replied . Yeonha raised a brow and sighed, " No, seriously, what? "

" I saw how flustered yet happy you were when we were practicing. " he said with a teasing smile on his face, " And don't deny it, I'm your brother so I can see through you. " he continued, Yeonha shook her head and just sipped on her banana milk. She admits, she was actually happy yet flustered doing a duet with Guanlin. Especially with their small choreography, with all the staring and holding hands, who wouldn't get flustered?

" Oh, we should practice your entrance later! " Seonho said with delight, Yeonha was confused for a moment but then her face turned red when she remembered how their entrance would be. Seonho noticed and he laughed, " Sis, you look like tomato. You're face is so red! " he exclaimed making Yeonho slap his arm.

Just then, Guanlin and Daehwi arrived and sat with the siblings. Yeonha avoided eye-contact as she looked down, trying to hide her face from the others. Seonho shook his head and continued to laugh, " Yeonha, what's wrong? " Guanlin asked, Yeonha lifted her head and chuckled awkwardly, " N-nothing's wrong. "

Daehwi just let out a chuckle and scratched his head, " Are you sure? Your face is really... red. " Guanlin asked. It seems like the two suddenly changed personalities, Guanlin wasn't so shy anymore and here's Yeonha, getting embarrased and shy almost immediately.

" Oh, I'm fine, haha. Don't mind me. " Yeonha said as she rested her chin on her palm and acted like she wasn't flustered at all. She was chuckling awkwardly and halted when she made eye-contact with Guanlin, who was smiling and looked amused by her. " Shit. " she cursed.

She felt like drowning and lost as she looked into his eyes. Her heart started racing and she felt weird on her stomach. And at that moment, she knew, she has fallen.
