Chaerin woke up surprisingly early the next morning. She looked at her phone *5:43 a.m.* "this is the first time I can sleep in since I was 15.. what the hell." She looked through all of the messages Sa Han had sent her from yesterday.
*hey*
*helllloooo*
*r u dead*
*if you don't answer I'm gonna call 911*
Chaerin cracked a smile but in the back of her mind she knew she would miss talking to her bff.
She decided to go downstairs and splurge through the fridge, especially because she knew she'd have to start a diet like the rest of her members soon.
After she was done she went back to her room and chose her outfit for the day, even though she had several hours to kill.
And as usual she had to sing to her favorite songs.
"DNA la la la la la.. lalalalaa!"
Singing to BTS always made her happy no matter what she was going through. She couldn't help but imagine getting to meet them in the future, it had always been a dream of hers.
*A few hours later*
Chaerin decided to drive herself to "work" that day, after all she was 18.
So many thoughts rushed through her head hoping that everything would go well today. It was just a vocal rehearsal.. to see who could harmonize well and warm up together.
Chaerin walked to the doors and heard a familiar voice "CHAERIN!!" Except it wasn't who you'd think it was.. not Sa Han.. but it was Jiyeon. "Hey.. Jiyeon right?" Chaerin answered hoping she'd guessed right. "Yep!" She sounded perky and excited to get started.
They both walked to the elevator that Chaerin took the day before. "Do you know any of the members closely?" Chaerin asked hoping she wouldn't get left out today. "Only Miju.. we came here the same year and we're both the same age and we both had dance classes together." Chaerin was happy that Jiyeon got along with someone already but she was still a little worried about the outcome later on.
"I've seen you and the others around before but I've never talked to any of you." Chaerin explained. "It'll be ok, you seem cool and I can't wait for our future." Jiyeon assured her.
The elevator doors opened and they both walked towards the dance room together.
When they got there everyone else had been waiting and dancing around just getting ready.
Dan Un had explained to them that they had to pick a song to practice with together and choose parts they had to take. "Do any of you like BTS?" Baelyn questioned, hoping the others would follow her idea. "Who doesn't?" Miju replied along with other comments.
Nayeon asked if they could sing DNA together as their first song practice. Every girl seemed to be on board with it choosing which verse to sing.
After many run-throughs and re-takes they finally made it though the whole song without any mistakes. It ended with high fives and good compliments towards each other. Chaerin felt like a very proud mom and as she was in the moment she got snapped out by Ahin's offer for all the girls to go eat afterwards. "Chaerin? Do you want to?" Chaerin looked up to see all of the girls staring at her, "huh?" She replied with one eyebrow raised. "Do you want to come eat with all of us?" Chaerin relaxed her face, "oh, sure it sounds like fun."
All of the girls smiled and stood up to leave. After they walked out of the dance room doors most of the girls were ahead of Chaerin leaving her behind to lock the doors.
"What a responsible mom.." Chaerin looked to see Miju waiting on her with a smile.
"Come one, I'm hungry and sleepy." Miju declared holding out her hand for Chaerin to take it.
So Chaerin did as she gestured and they walked off to meet the other girls outside of the building, talking about where to eat.
"Responsible mom.." Chaerin loved hearing that title that Miju had given her. She felt like she was wanted by the others almost as much as she had wanted them.
All of the girls hopped in the car as Chaerin sat up front while Jiyeon drove.
She looked out the window as the other girls were laughing and talking in the back.. "proud mom" she said in her head once more, and smiled her warm gummy smile she'd knew she'd be wearing a lot more often in the future.
