VIII. Lead The Way

A/N: BOUT TO CRY RN BECAUSE I'M SOSSOOSOSOSOSOSO PROUD OF JINYOUNGIEEEEEEE (mixnine ep 14)

For the next days, practice went very smooth, and I worked hard as a leader for my team on choreographing the dance too.

We, the 9ood 9irl team, entered the room for our rap lessons. Girlboy was sitting inside coolly.

He looked at the papers and right to me. "You're the leader?"

I nodded.

"Why did your teammates choose the vocalist as the leader?" He asked and cocked his head to the side. "Seems like a thoughtless decision to me."

"Nope, she is very organized and we had no problems with her as a leader. She is also a good choreographer." Jieun said, earning a smile from me.

"We will see then." Girlboy said.

Our group started the rap, with me starting it. I've been working hard to improve my rap for the past days, and I think I have improved by a milestone. I had no clue I could rap, and I wished I learned harder earlier.

When the song ended, Girlboy pointed out some tips for each of the members. He stared at me for 10 seconds straight before talking.

"JYP..." He mumbled. "You're the vocalist,"

I laughed and nodded. "I was kicked out of the vocal team."

"...well I'm glad you were kicked out of the vocal team." He said. "How are you so good at rapping when you've never rapped before? Are you kidding me?? You're rap is so fast, yet smooth."

I shook my head. "I have never in my entire life, and when my teammates said I was good, I didn't believe them at all."

"You should. You're amazingly good." He praised and shook his head in disbelief. "You should continue like this, you'll only get better, no joke."

Are you serious?? Now that it was coming from the coach, I had no choice but to believe what everyone's been telling me.

"It's good so far. Good energy. The parts are well put together, good job, and good job especially to the leader." Girlboy said, standing up. "That's all, do continue like that. It will be good."

With that, the lessons wrapped up and we went back to practicing.

In the middle of doing the choreography, Hyunjung bursted out in tears. My heart clenched, if I led her better and paid more attention to her, she wouldn't have so much stress piled up on her.

But then again, I was balancing 50 problems at the same time, and it was hard for me to focus.

I sighed as the others were practicing. I was so tired. I slept a mere 30 minutes last night, and my head was killing me. I stepped out of the room to get a vitamin drink inside the vending machine.

Damn, my head hurts so much. I continued walking until I felt really lightheaded. I knew I was falling until my vision faded into black.

My eyes opened and I glanced around me. I was inside a small and brightly lit room. The pain in my head had subsided a little.

Someone nudged my shoulder and I squinted to make sure if I was seeing right.

"The nurse says you have to drink water." Woo Jinyoung said, holding a water bottle to my mouth.
