RYUJIN

"It's just you. Why would i be?"

I saw his face drop and i regretted saying it. "O-Oh.." he stutters. I saw him shifting in his place as we just stood there, not saying anything or moving. "Hey, lovebirds." Yeonjun clapped to get our attention. We look at him, "Are you just gonna stand there or practice?" he asked as he stretched his arms and legs.

"Well, let's start the choreography." i said as i took my bottle and phone with me and headed to the door. "Where are you going?" i heard him ask and i turn my head. "To Stray Kids' practice room. There's too many people here, don't you think?" i saw him smile and nodded.

He was about to follow me but he stopped. "Stray Kids don't have practice today?" he tilted his head at me. I smiled and shook my head, "And don't worry. I told JYP about it." i gestured for him to follow me.

As we were walking to the practice room, there was this awkward silence between us but it wasn't uncomfortable. Beomgyu cleared his throat, "So, uh.. I have some news." he said. I give him a short glance while asking, "What is it?" and he hummed. "We debuted as TXT." he said with a hint of disappointment in his voice. That made me stop and look at him, he was surprised but he didn't ask or say anything.

I realized that i stopped him from walking, i shook my head and continued walking again. "Really?" was all i could say. He hummed again and i just nod my head. "Wah... You really changed, huh?" i heard him ask, hearing him sad makes me sad too. "What do you mean?" i ask as i open the door and turn on the lights.

"I mean.. You don't really give any reactions to anything i do or say anymore. I kind of miss the old Ryujin now.." he mumbled those last words but i heard it clearly. "I'm still the same, Gyu.." i chuckled. He looked surprised, probably because i heard what he mumbled. "A-Ah.." he uttered.

"So, since 'Believer' has that kind of dramatic feeling.." i trailed. He continued my words..

"You want to make it start with an equally dramatic scene?" he showed a small smile. I nodded, "We start like this.." and so that's how we started choreographing.

THIRD PERSON

Meanwhile, Chaeryeong and Taehyun decided to use 'We Don't Talk Anymore' by Charlie Puth. They said it was because they wanted to try something different and it was indeed very different. For the solo parts, they decided to use a song from their sunbaenims. 'Feel Special' for Chaeryeong and 'I Need You' for Taehyun.

"Like this," Taehyun instructed. "This?" she asked. "Your body goes lower, your hand is here." he said as he positioned her hand correctly. "So, I'll be doing this behind you." he smiled as he saw the part was coming together perfectly. "Let's take a break." Chaeryeong said as she leaned against the wall.

Taehyun didn't take a break, he kept practicing the part that he thinks isn't perfect. Chaeryeong observed him quietly, he was oblivious of her stare and just kept practicing. Suddenly, she chuckled. Taehyun froze and turned his head to her, "Waeyo?" he asked.

She just shook her head, "You never give up, do you?" she walked towards him and pulled him with her. She sat down and pulled him down with her. "Take a break, Taehyun-ah.." she smiled. Taehyun was sure he had butterflies in his stomach when she dragged him, but when she called him like that, it made him want to smile as well.

"Look, Yeonjun-oppa and Yeji-unnie is done with their choreography.." she pointed to them. Taehyun turned his head to look, "Wow.. That was fast." he exclaimed. "It's only been 3 hours.." he said as he turned his head back to her.

His breath hitched when he turned because Chaeryeong was so close at the moment. Their faces were literally inches apart. She froze too, a tint of red was on their cheeks and they were getting warmer. The reason why Chaeryeong's so close is, she couldn't see because his head was blocking her sight so she inched her head closer and it lead to this. They shot back, "S-Sorry.." they mumbled.

. . .

"Omo! Did you see what just happened between Taehyun-oppa and Chaeryeong-unnie?!" Yuna excitedly asked Kai, who was currently chugging water due to thirstiness. Kai turned to her with his eyebrows raised, "What?" he asked as he wasn't paying attention to them at all, but to something else. Or someone else.

"Their faces were like this close!" Yuna leaned in to show how close the two older ones were earlier, but it ended up making him flustered. She backed up and continued to fangirl about Taehyun and Chaeryeong. Kai was bright red and Yuna noticed, "Why are you red? Are you sick?" she placed her hand on his forehead.

He wrapped his fingers around her wrist and pulled her hand down. "Ani, it's just a bit hot." he smiled. Yuna glanced around the room for a second, "Ah.." she grinned. "Let's finish the choreography." he let go of her wrist that he's been holding for more than a minute now and turned to face the mirror.

BEOMGYU

"I'm tired.." i said as i lie down on the floor.

Ryujin rolled her eyes and grabbed my wrist to make me stand again. "Yah~ How are you not tired yet?!" i whined as i forcefully stood back up. She sighed and glared at me, "Do you want to fail?" she asked. That glare sent shivers down my spine but i decided to shrug it off.

"Guess you are the same old Ryujin," i say as i stared into her eyes. "Just not the one i like.." i see her eyes saddened. "Let's stop practice here, Ryu-ah.. You said you aren't coming to school for a week, right? So, let's continue tomorrow." i picked up my bottle and phone.

In the corner of my eyes, i saw her walking to me with her facial expression hardened. She stopped right in front of me, "What now, Ryujin?" i asked. "Why are you like this?" she questioned me with her eyes scanning my face, trying to read me.

"Like what? Be more specific, Ryu-"

"Don't call me that." she snapped. I was stunned, "Then what do you want me to call you?" i stood, relaxed in my position. She crossed her arms, "Don't try to run away from the question.." she scoffed loudly. I furrow my eyebrows, "So, what was your question?" i smirk, i don't why but i felt like doing it.

"Why are you like this?" she repeated herself.

I smile, "What do you think?" i saw her standing there, annoyed. "Why do you keep on being serious? Why don't you bother me anymore? Why-" i stopped her from continuing her sentences. "I'm serious lots of times, Ryujin." i chuckled and i can see her getting fed up by me.

"And bother you?" i look up since i glanced at the ground when she asked those questions. Meeting her eyes, i faked a smile, "Why would i bother you when you told me not to?" i clenched my jaw after saying that. I can see tears forming in her eyes as she dropped her arms to her side.

I immediately felt guilty for making her like this, as a tear dropped from her eye, i walk closer only to see her shedding more tears. I throw my arms around her, embracing her into my warmth. She hugged back and cried on my chest. "I'm sorry, Ryujin.." i said and realized tears were coming out of my eyes too.

I rest my chin on her head, hugging her tighter. "I'm sorry we have to be like this.." i mumbled and heard her sobbing getting louder by the second.

Little do they know... Someone was hearing all of this.
