As soon as my alarm beeped, I quickly wake Vin up. She sat immediately and rubbed her eyes. I kissed her forehead and went inside the bathroom to prepare. I took a quick bath and slipped into my uniform. I took out my gym bag to put my gear and some shirts with a pair of slippers inside. I also put one of my ripped jeans and a pair of my slip-on shoes. After packing it, I fixed my school bag. I blow dried and combed my hair right after. I waited for Vin to finish too before heading downstairs. We took our breakfast silently.

"Dad, I'll be home late." I casually said.

"Why?"

"I got a training with the team, an appointment with Erika and, a meeting with Nayeon-unni later. Maybe, I'll be back by midnight or by dawn." I answered. Vin was listening and watching my father's reaction. She looked so cute with that expression of hers.

"Yoona-noona's kid?" I nodded with what my father said. He's a younger brother of Nayeon-unni's mom. So, we're actually cousins.

"Cool." Dad said and stood up. He kissed my forehead and bid us goodbye after giving me some money. We finished eating too and entered my car.

"Uncle is so cool." Vin suddenly said. I chuckled at her trance.

"Nayeon-unni's my cousin." I told the truth to her.

"Oh my gosh! For real?!" I nodded at her.

"I got some relatives in the music industry." I winked at her.

"Wow." She just said. I pinched her cheeks and giggled softly.

We got out of the car right after it stopped in front of our school's gate.

"Fetch her later at 3, Oppa." I said to my driver. He nodded and hit the road.

We walked inside the campus until we reached her building.

"Don't wait for me later, okay?" She nodded at me. I hugged her and ruffled her hair before walking again. I stopped in front of our classroom and sat on my seat.

"You brought your things?" Jay asked.

"Yes. It's all in here."

"Good. We'll have some sparring later." I nodded at her. The morning class went pretty fast. I didn't eat that much during lunch to avoid stomach ache. I changed my uniform with my sportswear and tied my belt. I wore my slippers and placed my uniform inside the gym bag. I walked around the campus with Jay until we reach the gymnasium. I dropped my bags at the side. I got the things I need from my gym bag and removed my slippers. I did a flip and landed inside the mattings. Some students came to watch some sparring. I wore my gear and stretch my muscles. Jay did the same. We'll have a sparring as a warm-up. Coach Hwang was there to watch us.

Our sparring started as soon as all the members were sitting around the mattings. I stretched my neck before going into my fighting stance. Jay quickly attacked me with a roundhouse kick but I dodged it with my arms. She continued attacking me whilst I continued dodging too. When I saw her having her deep breaths, I immediately attacked her with a flying double roundhouse kick on her stomach and her head. She got her gear to protect her so she won't be hurt that much.

She stepped back because of it. She was about to attack me again but I quickly sweep off her feet which caused her to fall down. The crowd cheered with what I did. She stood and attacked again. I dodged her punch and flipped over her so she won't corner me at the edge of the ring. I faced her and luckily dodged her incoming punch in my face. I did a bunch of punches in her stomach and stopped when I got her leaning at the floor. She groaned and spitted out her mouthpiece to accept defeat. I bowed at her and the other members run to us to help removing our gear.

"Still the best fighter, Yuri-unni." Kath said as she remove my gloves. I smiled at her and exhaled heavily. I attended to Jay after getting some icepack from the bucket near the mattings.

"You good?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine don't worry. But you're really good there." She said and rubbed the icepack in her head. I smiled at her and offered a fist bump. She gladly accept it. I hugged her and patted her back. It became our thing when we started to train together as sparring partners. It's a sign that we don't hold a grudge if ever we hurt each other while training.

After that tiring training, I changed into my ripped jeans and a plain white shirt. Jay and CL walked me to Miss Kim's clinic.

"Thanks, guys." I waved at them and entered the building. I walked inside her office and greeted her.

"Oh, you're here." She said and smiled.

"You look tired." She told me. I smiled at her and got my tumbler from my gym bag.

"Can I have some water?" She pointed the water dispenser to me. I drank some refill and sat in front of the chair for our session.

"Just finished some training with my taekwondo team." I said and slipped my tumbler inside my gym bag. We started the session immediately and finished it after exactly 3 hours and 59 minutes. I bid her goodbye and looked at the time. It's 7:28 in the evening and it's dark outside. I proceeded to the building's comfort room and changed into my cropped polo. I can't go to my cousin's company building wearing my sweaty shirt. I freshen up and walked again.

I entered the company building of my cousin after walking for almost 20 minutes.  I bought some street food along the way and ate it as I walk. I texted my cousin and asked her where she is. I hopped inside the elevator as soon as I received her reply. I pressed the button with the number 19 on it. Some idols were inside with me. I bowed at them as they recognize me. I stepped out as I reached the 19th floor.

"Yuri!" My cousin's loud voice welcomed me as I enter the meeting room. She didn't mind her boss and the others. I shook my head and bowed at them.

"Am I late?" I asked as I took a seat.

"Not really. We're still waiting for some." Nayeon-unni's boss, JYP, said.

"Why do you brought so many things?" Nayeon-unni asked.

"I had a training with my taekwondo team after class and an appointment meeting after that." I exhaled loudly. "We'll have a tournament soon. If we'll win, we'll be competing for city meets then provincial. After that, regionals, nationals and international." I explained to my cousin not realizing that the others were listening too.

"Nice one!" She said which showed her bunny teeth. After talking about my busy day, the others came and we started our meeting.

"So this album is to be released by April. Yuri, as one of the leading songwriters. Jinyoung, as one of the leading choreographers." JYP continued discussing while all of us carefully listens. This year starts really good. I hope it continues to be fruitful and blessed.
