Fly High

Chapter 3

After the talk, Minji was still trying to adapt to everything and not pressurise the girls. It was evident that there was a change in the leader because when the girls slipped up, she was breathing down their backs, instead she was helping them and for once, Siyeon and Minji hadn't fought at all. And on the 13th, they remembered this special day, they debuted and finally, they were on the stage again, doing what they loved. So they worked hard during promotion month to chase me, putting their heart into every performance, but the most rewarding thing to them would be meeting the fans during fansign. They would interact with them and thanked them for staying with them since Minx era, it truly showed how connected and supportive they were of the girls. Their popularity grew slowly, but they were happy with the progress. Minji would try to encourage the team, even when it was hard for her but it wouldn't go unnoticed by one person who she has met for a couple of years now.

" Unnie, are you okay ? "

" I'm fine Yoohyeon, go get something to eat, I will just go to the washroom and come back."

Yoohyeon nodded her head before walking back. Little did Minji know, someone followed her.

" Still avoiding her ? "

" Bora, I can't be around her. "

" Why ? "

" Don't get me wrong, she isn't annoying, but, I don't want her to see me fail, to see me all weak and vulnerable. "

" Just because she looks up to you ? Minji, she knows that you are human too. You can't keep pushing yourself. You are allowed to be weak- "

" But Bora, I'm the leader, everyone is under my care. I can't slip, it is my job. "

" But it is also your job to be part of the team, you're so distant from us, this isn't you. Look, this time, we're not disbanding, everyone is here to stay, and we will work hard for what we want. "

" I guess. "

" Now go out and be nice to Yoohyeon, she's worried sick. "

Minji nodded before going back to the waiting room. She sat beside Yoohyeon which Yoohyeon was surprised at. Minji took a deep breath before her head fell unto Yoohyeon's shoulder. This worried Yoohyeon.

" Unnie, are you okay ? "

" I'm just tired Yoohyeon. I'm sorry, I shouldn't worry you like that. "

" You know you can tell me anything, you're my best friend. "

" I know, sorry for pushing you away, I will try. "

But Minji didn't keep her promise. She continued to push Yoohyeon away, again and again which Yoohyeon grew upset as days passed. The CEO had noticed the weird tension, and called for the two into the board room for a meeting. With a bare face and glasses on, both walked in in simple clothes, a t shirt and jeans.

" Both of you, fans have started speculating that something has happened between both of you. There isn't a lot of photos of you two together on fansites and during variety shows or shoots, you barely interact. The company and staff have also noticed the distancing. "

He continues,

" Now that the both of you are here, we need to talk. I don't know what has happened between the both of you, I hate this awkward tension. Minji, you're the leader for goodness sake, please try to compromise and do some fan service or else the fans will keep questioning us for your behaviour. Yoohyeon, I know you can do better than this, so both of you, get your act together, do this for business. "

The two looked at each other before they turned to look at the table, sighing at the agreement made.

" Alright, I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. "

" It's alright Minji, take your time, I don't expect you guys to have skinship and everything by today, but at least within the month or else I would have to take drastic measures to put you two together. "

" We understand, and we will talk it out. Can we use the board room for about two hours ? "

" Sure Yoohyeon, is there anything u need ? "

" Maybe 2 lattes ? "

" Okay, Miss Jo will be coming in shortly with your drinks. "

" Thank you. "

The CEO nodded before he left the room and left the two to talk things out.

" What do you want to talk about ? "

" I have been thinking unnie, I want to know you earnestly, on a personal level, and I know it's hard, but let's put this aside, all of it, and start again. I don't know what I have done, but I want us to be friends. "

" Yoohyeon, it's going to be hard. "

" I know, and I don't blame you, you have your struggles, I have mine. Just give this friendship a chance, we're going to be together as a group for I don't know how many years, and it will be a pain if we avoid each other. "

" I will try. "

" Unnie... You said that the other time. "

" But I mean it this time, I will try. "

" Thank you. You know I love you right ? "

Minji nodded her head before she walked out of the company with Yoohyeon, drinking their lattes before walking back to the dorms. Some fansite spotted them and they didn't hesitate to snap a picture of this rare sight.

So during fact in star, they acted as themselves, shocking fans but this was just the beginning. There was a lot of interaction between the two and fans were happy to see that there was some progress.
