"yes, pdnim. i understand. i'll tell her." areum said, the manager walked out of the office and went to ria.

"딸!" areum called the girl, "can i have her for a moment?" continue to ask the choreographer. (딸 = daughter)

"sure of course." the choreographer said.

ria waddles to areum out of the room, "why unnie?" ria asked.

"you will be mcing, well sub mc, because verivery's kangmin is sick. and can't make it." areum explained.

"but unnie we're preparing for the comeback, two comebacks my solo and the musical." ria said pouting.

"i know honey, i already told them that. they just said it may help you guys have a win in show champion." areum sadly explains to the girl.

"i understand unnie, i know you will take of me." the younger girl giggles and waddle back to the room.

"guuys!! i'll be mcing for show champion!" the girl shouted and giggles.

"wow!" the boys reacted and hug the girl, well except for one, haechan.

they still don't talk to each other. mostly ria slightly avoiding haechan. but you can't blame the girl, she didn't expect that the person she love will say that to her.

and now she, again, feels like a shadow of her brother even tho she debuted earlier. and it hurts her to see people only liking her because of her brother, not because of what she is capable of or for simply what she is.

they pull ot the hug the same time ria pull of her thoughts.

she saw haechan smiled at her, and of course not wanting to be rude she slightly smiled back.

the guys saw the little interaction, of course they are sad about it but a little happy since they are having a baby steps progress.

"okay okay! back to position. let's start from the top okay?" the choreographer said.

"ne!" they shouted.

while haechan on the other side

he is contented that ria acknowledge the smile he gave her but he want her to smile at her like she always does before. those eye to eyes smiles with her eyes glimmering.

he wanted to say sorry to ria as soon as possible that's later that day they fight, he texted ria. but ria hasn't respond to him yet.

but now? he didn't know why but he feels like the courage he have on the day they fought, when he said those hurtful word to her, it seems to his that it has faded. he no longer have the balls to say sorry.

"okay that's it for todaay. you can rest now! i'll get going." the choreographer told them.

"bye hyung-nim! take care!" jeno shouted as the other members are now exhausted and lying on the ground. because they literally finished learning the whole choreography in 1 day because they didn't have practice yesterday then they cleaned the moves throughly.

"great job kids!" their managers came in with foods in hand.

the dreamies jolted to sit properly and looked the door, and of course seeing their manager with foods excites them. like come on, they are still growing adults and it's food, like who wouldn't?

with no words said, they attacked the foods still offering their managers, while the managers looked at them in both awe.
