Chaeyoung's POV

"Woah, that was very clean, Ms. Park. You did Beyoncé really well." I smiled shyly at Kun and bowed.

"What do you think, Lisa-ssi? You're the dance mentor here." I looked at Lalisa staring at me. Kun looked directly at Lalisa and waved his hands in front of her.

"Lisa-ssi?" And then she flinched.

"O-Oh... What?" Her brows scrunched. She seemed to forget that she had to grade my performance.

"What do you think?" Kun asked.

"A-Ah. Some of her moves needed more power." Lalisa said and stared at me blankly.

"What? Her moves were on point. If she exerts too much at one part, then the rest will look dull." Kun argued. Jisoo coughed as she gave me a warm smile.

"Thank you for your wonderful performance, Chaeyoung." She said and that was the cue to get back to my line. The next trainee stepped out of the line and faced the mentors.

"Hello! I'm Kang Seulgi, and I am 19 years old. I can sing, but I'm much more experienced in rapping." She smiled at them warmly.

"I've seen you a lot on Youtube. You have an account where you post your practice videos, am I right?" Kun asked and Seulgi nodded.

"Can you show us one performance?"

"Sure, Irene-ssi." She said and started her performance. She danced to the song "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo.

"Nice. Very nice, Seulgi-ssi. Your moves are on point." Lalisa said with a poker face. The mentors stood up and smiled at us.

"You may rest in your rooms," Kun said. As soon as all of the mentors walked out of the room, we all gathered up and high-fived each other.

"Nice to meet you all!" Nayeon said and gave us a warm smile.

"By the way Chaeyoung, that was a really great performance," Jennie said. I got flustered and shy about the compliment.

"Thank you, unnie." I smiled.

"I really missed you, Chaeyoung!" Yeri said as she gave me a big, tight, hug.

"I missed you too, Yeri!" I exclaimed and pulled away.

"How did you know each other?" Seulgi asked.

"Ah, we went to the same school since middle school. We were best friends until I went out of the country. I never got in touch with her again, not until I saw her here." I nodded.

"Small world huh?" Nayeon said.

"By the way, Chaeyoung-ah. Didn't you notice how Mentor Lalisa stared at you? Every time you didn't look at the mentors, she would always take glances at you." Yeri said and gave me a teasing look.

"What? Maybe she was grading our manners." I giggled. It's impossible.

"I gotta go, guys. I miss my bed." Jennie said and giggled. She lives here? Oh, maybe she's been a trainee for a long time.

"Unnie, where are the rooms?" I asked.

"I think your room is on the 11th floor. YG-nim told me that your roommate is Yeri." Jennie said.

I walked to my luggage in the corner of the room and carried it, but then, someone took my luggage away from me.

"I'll bring these. Just rest." Lalisa said and walked away. I stood there, dumbfounded. What did she just do?

I followed her to the elevator and took a glance at her.

"Uhm, you know I can carry those by myself, right?" I said. She raised her eyebrow and looked at the luggage she was holding. The elevator's door opened and she walked out without even saying a word.

"Hey!" I caught up with her and I ended up bumping her back. "Ow."

She went out of my way so I walked inside the room and dragged my luggage with me. As I was closing the door, I felt a little force pushing it. I saw Lalisa's tall figure outside my room, sticking her head in the door.

"What?" I asked as I rubbed my forehead. It hurts! I think I bumped into her spine or something!

"You're not even going to thank me?" I rolled my eyes as I looked at her. I walked to the door to face her and bowed.

"Thank you, Mentor Lalisa," I said and held the door knob to close the door, but she stopped me once again.

"What?" I asked irritatedly.

"Stop calling me Mentor Lalisa when it's only the two of us. Just call me Lisa. You're a month older than me." She said as I felt her presence fade away. I was about to open the door wide to talk to her, but she wasn't there.

What the hell was that about?
