青春有你 Idol Producer 2 {Discontinued}

十

"I can't like him already, can I?" I asked myself, shaking my head in disbelief as I recall the events that just happened.

"I was just tired." I said trying to convince myself.

Ever since both of us have been chosen as centers, we've spent a lot more time together and we've become way closer. We usually spend our breaks chatting and practicing. I barely even go back to the dorm and hang out with my dorm mates anymore.

Next was rap lessons. Mc Jin and After Journey asked us to rap our parts one after another.

Li Zhenning started his part and in my opinion, it lacked emotion. I knew he wasn't trained in rap at all, but for the sake of this performance he had to do so.

"More, more emotion." After Journey said.

Zhenning tried and tried. It was getting better, but it still lacked something. After that it was my turn. I started rapping and let out all my emotions. My hands unconsciously made some gestures and I rapped. I finished and looked up at the mentors. They didn't say anything. I was scared, was my rapping that bad? I knew I wasn't really trained in rapping but I had rapped once or twice before.

"Was it okay?" I asked the mentors.

MC Jin just stood up and grinned. He found a whiteboard and wrote a big A on it. He walked over to me and handed it to me like it was an Oscar award.

"很棒，很棒 (very good, very good)" He said and After Journey nodded. After journey then commented.

"Your rapping has a lot of emotion, good job." I bowed and thanked him.

It was now turn for Team B to practice. I looked over to zhenning. He was sitting on the ground clutching his lyrics tightly while practicing. I went over to him and sat down. He noticed me but didn't say anything and continued practicing. When he was practicing, I gave him some pointers on how to improve and add emotion to the rap. Actually, most of these pointers were given by my unnies in the company, as well as from produce 48. They've help me so much that I can never repay them.

After that was vocal class. I didn't really participate as I was a rapper in this song. After that was our free time to practice. I gathered my team as we practice the formation and dance. This was the first time that our group mates will see us both as centers. The practice begun and everything went fairly well. The couple dance was better than the first time as it wasn't as awkward, but it wasn't totally natural yet. I was also constantly reminding or correcting our teammates moves, but it wasn't anything major.

Half way through practice, I was called by the staff. They passed me my ringing phone. It was Izone calling. Why were they calling? I thought. Nonetheless, I answered the call.

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Ahh, Wonyoung ah. We have news for you." Eunbi said excitedly.

"We're coming to visit you!!" Yujin shouted.

"Well, not exactly. We're going to have a performance in china. We were invited by iQiYi to perform during your group evaluations." Hyewon said

"And the manager suggested that you perform too, since we're a group." Chaewon added.

"But, won't I have to practice??" I asked worriedly. There wasn't enough time. There was only 4 days left.

"You'll have practice by yourself. We'll practice together on the final rehearsal though." Chaeyoung said.

"Ok then unnie. I'll practice hard then."

"By the way, we're performing Rumour, La Vie En Rose, as well as Swalla."

"Ok then. I have to go now. See you soon unnie." I said as I ended the call.

I went back to the practice room and everyone was still practicing. They didn't notice me and continued dancing. I sat at the back, observing the practice. It was pretty good. Everyone was in sync and their aura was pretty much on point. If I continue to be like this, there's no doubt that we would able to perform live.

When they finished dancing I jumped up and clapped.

"Good job guys! You were great!"

Some of them were shocked when they heard my voice, some of they smiled brightly at me and some blushed after getting complimented. We then continued to practice till it was late at night. All of us then left to rest.

I walked back to my dorm, thinking of ways that will allow me to practice for the izone performance without using up our normal practice time. Then a lightbulb hit me. I could practice at night!

I quickly went back to my room and changed into my girly practice uniform. I haven't danced in a skirt for so long. Therefore, I wasn't really used to it.

I found an empty practice room to practice in. After all, the performance was a secret and I didn't want the staff to record me while I was practicing.

There were 3 songs that I had to practice and I chose to practice rumour first, since it was the hardest and I wasn't really familiar with it. I switched on the TV and played the PD48 live performance. I watched it and recalled the moves. I wasn't actually supposed to dance to rumour, but Minjoo was sick, so she was only able to perform one song. After watching the video twice, I started learning the moves one by one.
