Sungchan:

It was after school and I was on my way to my dance lesson at an academy that SM sent me to. They were getting ready to debut me in NCT, and I couldn't be more excited. I've been working on my rapping skills for a long time and now it's time to improve on my dancing skills. I know a few friends from school who go to this academy, so I made sure to greet them first before going off on my own. I check in with the front desk and go to the floor where my dance lesson is at.

When I get out of the elevator, I see my friends sitting down in front of their practice room, on their phones.

"Hey." I say, they look up and greet me.

"Why are all three of you on your phones? Is there some sale or something? Did you get paid?" I ask, laughing and sitting next to Byunghoon.

"No, apparently Miyoung didn't accept any love confessions yet." Chanyoung says, I nod my head and pretend to know what they talking about.

Byunghoon, Chanyoung, Jaeho and I are all in the same class at school, it's just a coincidence that the four of us go to the same dance academy too. They're not trainees though, but they plan on becoming one when they finish the academy. We each have our individual lessons in 10 minutes, so we were just waiting on our teachers.

"Sungchan." Jaeho calls out to me, I look up and nod in response.

"Could you help me write a song for Miyoung?" He asks, I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"I have no interest in writing a song for a girl." I laugh, all three of them frown at me.

"What? I just don't have any girl that sticks out to me right now. Plus I'm a trainee and if I date while I'm a trainee my career is automatically ruined." I state, they all still give me a death glare.

"Do you even know who Miyoung is?" Chanyoung asks, I look up from my phone and try to think of who she is.

"Um... does she go to our school?" I ask, they nod. I try my best to think of a girl named Miyoung that goes to our school. However, there are so many students at our school and I can't memorize all of them.

"I don't know who she is." I respond and they all shake their head, going back to their phones.

"Once you see her in person, her face is going to stay in your thoughts and you're going to love her. That's how it happened with the whole school." Jaeho says, Byunghoon and Chanyoung nod their heads in response. I just sit silently and scroll through Instagram.

I was looking at NCTzens talking about wanting an OT21 NCT comeback. I smile and think about how I'm debuting as an NCT member soon. My eyes widened as I saw what was in my recommended.

*I honestly think that Olivia Hye is the prettiest person alive so I chose her as Miyoung's face claim <3 Not to mention she's my LOONA bias lol

"Is this her?" I show them my phone and they nod, telling me how pretty she is. I roll my eyes and shut my phone off, getting up and heading to my practice room. My teacher just got here and theirs are still nowhere to be found. I say bye to them and enter the practice room and practice my dancing for the next 6 hours.

10pm

I had just finished practice and I was sweating like crazy. I said goodbye to my friends and left the building. I quickly run to the bus stop where I catch up to Shotaro.

"Hey!" I say, smiling and patting his back.

"Hey. How was practice?" He asks as I massage the back of my neck.

"Tiring, how about you?" I ask.

"It went well. I think I got the choreo down." He smiles, I nod.

The bus arrives and we sit in the back. It was dark outside and the city was lit up. Although I grew up in Seoul, I will never get over how beautiful it is at night. I plug in my ear phones and open my phone, where I'm still on Miyoung's page.

"Woah... is that your girlfriend?" Shotaro asks, I lightly push him and shake my head.

"Of course not. I don't even know who she is." I respond, he laughs and lightly hits my knee.

"Then why were you on her Instagram page?" He asks, I roll my eyes and exit her Instagram, going to the music app.

"I was curious about what she looked like since all of friends seem to have a crush on her. That's all." I say, Shotaro nods and plugs in his headphones.

We spent the whole bus ride just listening to music and either staring out the window or closing our eyes. I was going to fall asleep when I realized that I still have a bunch of homework to do, so I woke myself up by lightly slapping myself. Shotaro doesn't have school and he has nothing to worry about, so he was just dozing off on my shoulder.

Once we got to the bus stop near our dorm, we got off and entered the building. We got to our dorm and I went to take a shower first. The NCT members on my floor greeted me as I walked in and I greeted them back, telling them that I'll talk when I'm done with my shower. The whole time I was thinking about my raps and the dance lesson I just had. I want to do good for the fans since I'm a new member and I want to show them what I'm capable of. I was thinking back at my dance lesson and thinking of what I could've done better and what I did well. This is what always happens, I second-guess myself and end up overworking myself because of well I want to do for the NCTzens. I finish my shower and head into the living room where Jungwoo is sitting down, watching TV.

"How was it today? Hard?" He asks, patting the seat next to him.

"It went well... I think." I respond, sitting next to him.
