Texts and Friendships and Everything In Between

LXXXI

Bright lights peaked from the crack of the door, faint melodic sounds were heard outside, close to silent words could be heard by the door. Inside everyone was sitting down on the hardwood floor, listening to the music trying to come up with ideas for their dance.

Of course they would have the help of the choreographer but they want to be as hands on as they can get with the debut of the long awaited female trainees of sm.

The leaders both stood up at the same time, emitting cheers and hoots from their friends, both turning magenta avoiding eye contact ,when they both knew themselves that not looking at the other was slightly impossible.

Slightly because of that one incident, on a windy day of June 2017, where their ship blew up and Koeun and the girls popularity skyrocketed up the roof. Trending on sites from Weibo to Twitter, their clips from MMC a year previously scattered and the management couldn't do anything to contain it. Both participating groups, NCT Dream and SMRG, were asked to participate in a meeting to discuss the proper actions for the so called problem. Both were asked not to pay attention to each other just until it died down; no interactions– no hangouts, no dinners, no parties, no paying attention to each other in the hallways or in school, no picking up the other from school, no walking home together, no anything. After that day, anyone and everyone who saw the two groups would see how their happy go lucky aura dispersed and a gloomy vibe took place, especially the two leaders who would keep their heads down whenever they passed by, no smile or wave as much as they wanted to, greeting their sunbaes and staff with a forced smile and stayed in the practice rooms practicing until they couldn't contain it and tears streamed down their eyes. August came, both yet to pay attention to the other, scared to be scolded, the fame slowly simmered down but still silently present. The time came for Mark and Jaemin's joint party thrown by the staff of SME, the younger all bright smiles with the elder being all longing eyes and sad looks, both were hoping to see their best girl friends after no contact for close to 2 months, the door slowly creeped open the girls filing in the room one by one with all eyes on them, and at that moment the boys knew they couldn't help themselves no more and ran to them hugging the girls like their lives depended on it. Mark and Koeun going straight to each other with tears brimming their eyes and Jaemin and Hina doing the same yet they were already crying, and with a smile both girls whispered a Happy Birthday.

Going back to the present, everyone was finally standing up as Jisung demonstrated the first part of the dance for the girls title track.

"Ok guys so for the intro pose you girls would be in that position your back would be faced towards the audience, when the music starts you would lift your heads up one by one and one by one you would turn around" Jisung said demonstrating the intro

"Once that's complete Hina noona would lead in the centre, with the arms by your face its going to be outstretched upwards going down slowly since this a mellow song the goal is to hit the beat, after that the shoulders would move backwards while the opposite foot follows then you guys would move forward and switch Yiyang noona would be centre" Jisung said showing them what the choreo would look like

After they finished the choreo, they took a water break.

"Wah Jisung deabak! Lets show this to the choreographer unnie and then lets move on to the b sides" Mark said as the door opened revealing the one and only Lia Kim with Seulgi and Taeyong trailing behind

"Good morning everyone I see you've already started with your practice, If you have a choreo please go ahead and show us, my bad I forgot to introduce myself my names Lia Kim and I will be helping you for the choreo but it would just be for the title track I will be leaving the b sides to these two very talented people beside me your one and only Taeyong and Seulgi" Lia said grabbing a seat by the mirrors

"Ah yes Jisung just finished with the choreo, Jisungie if you would" Koeun said as Jisung demonstrated what he came up with

"Ah wah deabak to be expected from our Jisung ssi, how bout you switch the bridge from moving the arms downwards you could move the body instead and I think that would be all, If you need me i would be in EXO's practice helping with their choreo" She said standing up

Facing the two elders she patt their backs, " I'll leave the rest to you two, If anything Jisung and the others are there to help you" The two responded by nodding their heads

Facing the younger they grinned excited to work with them, "so lets see who will be the first performers we will be working with?" Taeyong asked the group

"Hmm hyung can we start with the eldests?" Mark said as the door opened right on time to see Winwin and Jungwoo enter the room

"Ah thats great, you're right on time Winwinie we were just about to start doing the choreography for yours and Yiyangs song" Taeyong said to his younger friend

Winwin knodded his head as he walked to Yiyangs side, who in return hugged his side pecking his left cheek.

With a smile the group started on the choreo. While the others were doing the dance the younger ones were on the coach sitting down chatting and Jungwoo and Jungyeon were out to buy some drinks and snacks.

"I really can't wait to debut but I'm more excited to go back home" Hina said

"Are we all going back home unnie?" Lami asked Koeun who was across from her on the floor

"Well Jaemin is going with Hina, Winwin oppa is with Yiyang unnie, Jungwoo oppa is same with Jungyeon unnie, im not sure about you maknaes" Koeun said typing a message on her phone

"Chenle oppa is going back home with me" Ningning said chugging her water down

"Jisung oppa do you wanna go with me?" Lami asked the elder who turned red

"Uhm if it's ok with you family then I dont mind uh yea" Jisung said awkwardly

"What about you unnie are you going back home with mark oppa" Hina asked

Mark and Koeun looked at each other for a second before they looked back at the group, "well I dont mind I miss your family anyway, and i think my schedule is pretty open, what do you say eun like old times?" Mark said

The groups eyes widened in surprise.

"You've met her parents already hyung?" Jaemin said

"You've been there before?!" Donghyuck screamed

"Is that why you always left so late hyung?" Jisung asked

Mark laughed at his dongsaengs, "Yes nana, Yes hyuck and yes to our Jisungie"

"Why not markue they miss you too anyway" Koeun said informing her parents that she's coming home with Mark.

Right on time Jungwoo and Jungyeon came back as Winwin and Yiyang finished their dance.

"Jungwoo and Jungyeonie you're next" Seulgi said
