For this episode of '321', we are supposed to take a break from training and do something relaxing. We still wanted to get some training in, so the staff said we could go around sunset time.

A couple days ago, Jinyoung helped me with my dancing. My main issue is that, out of nervousness, I start going a count too fast and end up a bit ahead of Suwei and Riley. He taught me how to pace myself and perfect the little details to look more complete while dancing. For this mission, we have more time to prepare, which is definitely something I am thankful for.

I head over to where I was meeting Suwei and Riley, pondering over ways I can improve my dancing, along with developing my singing and rapping skills.

"There you are," Riley calls out to me, Suwei waiting beside her.

After seeing all three of us there, Suwei starts walking, "Let's get going. I think this could be fun."

The three of us—plus some of the staff members—walk around the side of Han River. We thought it was a nearby place that would be able to take our minds off the competition and allow us to spend some time together.

We arrive just at sunset; the city lights begin to light up the sky.

"Wow," Riley says, walking up to the edge of the pavement by the river.

Suwei follows her, "It's so beautiful."

Holding my phone in my hands, I take a photo of the scenery before me, "I'm pretty glad we came here, even if this whole trainee life is different for us."

"Yeah," Suwei agrees, "This place is amazing. And we have met some great people."

Riley nods, "Plus, even if we fail, it was a great experience."

After some more talking, the three of us sit beside the river and watch as the blue-orange skies fade into the black night.

On the walk back to our dorms, we head into a café that stays open late and talk amongst ourselves. We laugh over some old memories back in California and recall childhood stories of our lives before we met each other.

It's insane to think about how different our lives would be if we never met, but I'm glad we don't have to know what that life would have been like.
