Before The Dawn

Thirty Five - Dance Practice, Variety Shows - Wait, WGM?!

Hyena's POV

Wow! Whoever said that time flies really fast. He is indeed correct!

Four months had already passed, and I must say that everything was a bit of a roller coaster ride.

A lot of things happened in such a short span of time. I am also happy to report that I seldom have panic attacks nowadays. Well, it's been months, since I had one. Anyway, just like what Uncle Jungyeop said during one of his late-night phone calls to me (Well, he has this habit of calling me at midnight every day. Does he even sleep? LOL!), he went home earlier than I expected. According to him, he was able to make his trip shorter because he was able to close the deal earlier than usual. Well, that's what he was claiming, but we all know that he can't live without me by his side now. Knowing him, he probably worked all day, and all night, just to finish everything that he needed to do. It's not that I am complaining, I just find his reactions cute. He is really like my dad! Dad is always like that whenever we are going to be having our annual vacation. Procrastinating as best as he could.

My life as a trainee is quite tiring, but it is actually good. The past months have been really. When I say busy, I mean busy. I needed to do a lot of things. Every day, I needed to undergo a lot of training. From vocal training to personality training to dance training and other stuff. I had to learn a lot of things about the entertainment industry. Not that I didn't know it yet. I majored in Music, right?! But I was shocked to know that there were a lot of things I needed to consider once I become a part of it. I had to learn how to take care of my outside appearance. As you all know, I am a bit boyish so I don't really care about what I wear when I go out. I am just contented with a simple shirt and jeans. So when they told me that I couldn't do that anymore, I was shocked. I really panicked because I don't know what to do. That's why I never felt so relieved when Samchon introduced Sooyoung Unnie, my stylist, to me. She taught me everything that I needed to know about fashion. Plus the fact that Sungjong Oppa was always there for me whenever I need a piece of fashion advice. Well, almost everything because up until now, I sometimes still don't know what to do. She often scolds me whenever I go out because I was just wearing a training suit. According to her, I needed to act and think like an idol now because there are many eyes that are looking at me.

That's scary! Being an idol means you already gave up your privacy.

Aside from the usual dance practices that I always do every day, I also had vocal coaches to improve my singing techniques. Everyone in Woollim has been so nice to me, even my co-trainees, and I am really overwhelmed by it.

I also have a new manager now. I miss Hyoan Oppa. He has been very nice to me, but he said that he can't take care of me anymore because he has to do a lot of things. He is quite busy handling INFINITE's schedule as they become more, and more popular, especially internationally. Well, I totally understand his situation because he had to handle seven (7) very restless boys. With Sungyeol Oppa alone, you will indeed be very tired. Imagine handling all 7 of them, they can be quite a headache. Since Hyoan Oppa can't be with me anymore, Uncle Jungyeop decided to hire a new manager for me. By the way, his name is Kim Woobin, and I call him Woobin Oppa. He is quite handsome, and he's tall as well. I think he is even taller than Sungyeol Oppa. He is also much older than me. I think he is older than Sungkyu Oppa by 3 years, and I got really close to him since we are always together. He knows everything about me, and even my secrets. He treats me not just as a talent, but as a younger sister.

I also have a lot of new friends in Woollim now. I made friends with Daeyeol Oppa, who is Sungyeol Oppa's younger brother. Well, let me tell you about our first meeting. It was really funny.
