"Oh my god look over there." Your friend and fellow trainee, Yoora, pointed in the direction where B.I. and the rest of IKON was. "Isn't Hanbin just the most handsome guy you have ever seen?" Yoora waited for your reaction.
"He is" you sighed knowing you could never tell him.
"Let's go say hello." Yoora linked her arm with yours, pulling you by force. She knew you liked him, she liked him too.
"No, Yoora I'll wait here." You were too shy to even greet him, unlike Yoora who regularly went up to him.
"Come on!" She stopped halfway and stomped loudly. She needed you to come along. "I'm putting my foot down now Y/N! How are you going to be an idol, singing on stage for thousands of people if you can't even interact with one?"
"Yoora!" Hanbin called out to your best friend. Thanks to Yoora's outburst Hanbin noticed her at the end of the hall standing with you. He decided it was a good opportunity to go over and greet you two.
"Hey" Yoora immediately gave him a bright smile. "I see you with all the boys are you guys going somewhere?"
"No, we just came back. What about you?" Hanbin's eyes shifted from her to you.
"Me and my friend, oh that's right. You two haven't met yet." Yoora pretended to have forgotten that detail before bringing you closer to stand in front of him. "This is Y/N. She and I are both training to be vocalists."
You tried your best to smile, "Hello."
"Hi." Hanbin's smile made your cheeks turn a light pink. It had your heart racing a thousand miles a minute. To hide it from him you put your hands up to your cheeks and couldn't help moving from side to side.
Hanbin chuckled seeing your reaction. "That's cute" he commented.
"Yeah, she's like an anime character, always acting cute to the point where you just want to squeeze her cheeks." Yoora moved your hands and pinched your cheeks harder than she usually did. The first time she met Hanbin she had used you as an excuse to talk to him. Now she kept using you as a way to get closer to him.
"Yah!" you protested but your scream came out more like a yelp which only made you seem even more defenseless and cute.
"Hey Hanbin let's go" Bobby called out for him.
"I guess I have to go. I'll see you two around."
"Definitely" Yoora smirked.
As he waved goodbye you found yourself responding to the wave with one of your own. When you looked over at Yoora you saw her smirk had changed. She was biting her lip as she starred at Hanbin's retreating form.
"He's just so hot" she sighed. She knew she wasn't his type but that wouldn't stop her from trying.
Bobby teased Hanbin when he came back smiling from ear to ear. "Look at your face, it's all red. Are you really that happy you talked to her? What was her name again?"
"Y/N" Hanbin responded. "Yoora finally introduced us. Now I know her name is Y/N."
"It's funny, all this time I thought you liked that Yoora girl. She's always around you like she's trying to get your attention or something."
Hanbin shook his head, "No, she's just trying to help me. She knows I like Y/N and offered to help me."
At least that's what Hanbin thought. In reality, Yoora had a plan. She wanted to get closer to Hanbin and make him see that she was better than you.
You chewed the inside of your cheek as you sat down beside Lee Hi. She was listening to the demo you had recorded earlier for one of her songs. It was a practice lesson that she was giving you and now it was time to evaluate.
