*Felix POV*
Staring up at the ceiling with Changbin playing with my hair, I felt happy. It was quiet, none of us talking, because, well, my Korean wasn't very good. Sure he and Minho had been teaching me, but I was so slow sometimes and so tired from training.
"Hyungie?" I asked him.
"Mhmm?"
"Do you think I'll ever get better?"
"With what?" He attempted to curl my hair with his fingers.
"Korean."
"Of course, Lixxie. You've progressed a lot!"
I smiled. "Really?"
"Don't you remember how awful it was when you first came here?"
I laughed as I went back down memory lane...

"Hi I'm Felix!" I said cheerfully, being the only thing I knew in Korean, along with some other introductory phrases. The receptionist smiled.
"Hi, you must be the boy from Australia." She said in perfect English.
"Yes, that's me."
"Okay, here are your keys, you're sharing a room with Seo Changbin. He'll give you the code as well."
"Thank you!" I bowed, took the keys and made my way to the dorm complex. I put the keys in the lock and turned, opening the door. I was a little nervous to see my new roommate, and I couldn't even speak Korean. So that sucked. A lot.
"Hello?" I called out. Someone's head popped out from a room.
"Who're you?" The boy asked.
"I'm Felix. Sorry I can't speak Korean." I blushed.
"Oh! One minute please?" He said in English. I smiled and watched him run out of the dorm, leaving me in confusion.
He came back moments later with a very dazed looking boy.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hi! I'm Chan." The boy replied, his accent as prominent as mine. "Well it's actually Chris, but everyone here calls me Chan."
"Oh! Hi Chan! I'm Felix? Are you my Hyung because I'm born in 2000..." I smiled a little nervously because I remembered that there was a difference between age in Australia and age in Korea, I just couldn't remember what.
"Oh, yeah I'm your Hyung. I'm born in '97. So is Changbin, but he's in '99."
I nodded and fidgeted a little. Changbin was just watching us like we were animals in a zoo, which made me giggle.
"C'mon, you should set your things down, then you can come hang with us." Chan smiled and I did the same.
"Uhh, okay...I can't speak Korean though..."
"That's fine, we'll teach you!"

"Yeah, I was awful!" I laughed at my past self. "Still am though." I pouted.
"Don't worry, everything will be okay. I'm sure things will just get easier for you."

*3rd Eye*
Minho was always practicing hard, desperate to catch up with everyone else his age. He was in the studios day and night, sweat dripping down his face as he danced and danced. He had only been at JYP for about a week and a half, but got along with everyone rather well. His charming personality that came off cold as first quickly flooded through, and he always tried to make the other trainees comfortable around him.
He was now practicing the choreography that their instructor had given them, and it was quite hard, but almost had it when the door opened.
"Minho?" Chan's voice called out as he poked his head into the room. Minho paused the music and turned.
"Yes Hyung?" He asked obediently.
"How would you like to debut?"

A/N: so I'm back here again lol. Umm unfortunately, Hoobnoob has some technical difficulties and we can't talk, but she gave me permission to publish without consulting her first. So yeah. We did write the next few chapters together in a way, but in draft form and now I'm kinda just retyping them all. Sorry for such a short chapter, but I hope the next chapter will make up for it with the drama ✨
See ya in the next one,
-Aria and Hoobnoob 💜
