By early December, just over two weeks into rehearsals, the sky was winter dark before their Manager would let them leave. And Hobi always asked Fiz if it was okay for her if he walked her home. She didn't understand why he wanted that though. 

Fiz's house was on the way to his so she couldn't say no without hurting his feelings. It wasn't that she liked him or anything, but whenever she spent some time with him dancing, and learning how to dance, she always felt happy and thought that she was lucky.

The song was going to be performed that Friday or Saturday, and lots of people were already talking about the '8th member'. Their Manager was very impressed by Fiz and the others and he bragged about them to everyone saying that it's going to be the best this year. 

Fiz was excited about their performance and the reason behind it was the fact that she was doing the 'right thing'. She knew it wasn't much, but frankly, it was all that she could do.

So Hobi was walking Fiz home when she asked him this question.

" Is it true you and your friends sometimes go to the graveyard at night?"

Hobi was startled by that sudden question. Though it wasn't exactly a secret, it didn't seem like the sort of thing he'd tell anyone.

"Yeah," he said. shrugging. "Sometimes."

Fiz: What do you do there though?

Hobi: I don't know.. Talk... Joke around? It's just a place we like to go.

Fiz: Isn't it scary?

Hobi: No.... Why? Would it scare you?

Fiz: It might.

Hobi: Why?

Fiz: Because I might do something wrong.

Hobi: We don't do anything bad there. I mean, we don't knock over the tombstones or leave our trash around...

Fiz: Do you ever just sit around and listen to the sounds? Like the crickets chirping, or the rustling of leaves or anything like that? Or do you just lie on your backs and stare at the stars?

Hobi: Not really.

Fiz nodded.  " I think that's what I'd do if I were there, if I ever go, I mean. I'd just sit and listen to the sounds carefully and get creeped out."

This whole conversation was kinda strange. Fiz felt stupid for bringing up this topic. They walked in silence for a few moments. And since he'd asked something about her, She felt obliged to ask him about himself.

Fiz: So what do you do? Besides working with the members?

It sounded ridiculous to herself, but that's what she asked.

Hobi: As I said... I'd just dance and spend time.

Fiz: ohh... Nice.. 

Hobi: So what are your plans after returning to your place?

Fiz: I'm not sure... I just don't want to think about it yet...

It got silent after her reply and they just walked.

Fiz: Thank you for walking me home, Hobi.

Hobi glanced at her for a moment and it felt weird so Fiz went in her house. She thought, of all the conversation they'd had, this was the strangest one.
