I sat at one of the tables in the cafeteria. The place was empty even though it was lunch time. I stared at my plate and sighed. I can't keep up with this diet anymore..

"Why do you look so frustrated?" Sey asked while sitting beside me with her lunch.

"Wouldn't you be frustrated if the only thing you eat all the time is salad?"

"Yes, and that's why I'm eating pasta right now." She said smiling, and I finally looked at her plate. Pasta.. I really want to eat some as well.

"But your diet.."

"I will just workout harder to burn these calories.." She said and started eating. I did the same, or at least tried to..

"Why aren't you eating?" Sey asked when she noticed I'm playing with my food instead of eating it.

"I'm just not hungry anymore.." I sighed and pushed my plate away. That damn diet.

"Come on, you got to eat.. It's not healthy to skip meals, especially if you workout a lot.."

"Like this extreme diet is healthy.."

"Just eat something delicious to get your energy refilled and work harder to deduct it afterwards.."

"Maybe you are right.." I sighed.

"Of course I'm right" Sey smiled.

I gave up on my salad and I finally took a tasty dish - Chicken with mashed potatos. After eating only vegetables for so long it tasted like heaven.

"By the way, you owe me a conversation.." Sey said while we ate.

"What conversation?" I asked confused, still eating my meal.

"Last night.."

"I told you already that nothing happened, stop making things bigger than they are." I sighed. Why is she so obsessed over something so small that doesn't mean anything?

"You know he barely goes to see the trainees, moreover worry about their safety getting home.."

"Probably because he is busy.. I know where you are going with this, but we barely know each other. He is the member I talked to the least."

"If you say so.. Just be careful."

"Why?" I looked at her.

"Because the other trainee he used to care for like this was Sumi.." She said quietly, and I realized her intention.

"First of all - He doesn't care about me, it was just a coincidence. Second - Did they date?" I couldn't help but ask. My meal was long forgotten by now.

"Curious?" Sey smiled slyly.

"Well, I don't want to be a third wheel in a couple's relationship, and Sumi already hate me, I don't need to upset her more than she already is."

"They never dated, but Sumi is a bit.." Sey started saying somthing, but stopped in the middle of her sentence.

"A bit what?"

"A bit possessive when it comes to him.." She looked uneasy while saying that. "Look, it's kind of an unwritten law that we stay away from him because of her. Just be careful."

"Oh." Just great. This girl is seriously something else.. Why do I always get in trouble with her even if I'm not doing anything wrong?

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to warn you before she freaks out even more.." She stared at her plate, moving the pasta around with her fork.

"I get it, I just.. don't understand."

"What?" She looked at me.

"You said that he never cared about the trainees but he did care for her.."

"Yes."

"Why would he do that if he doesn't like her and if she is being clingy and act like a total nutcase?"

"I don't know.. He used to be nice to her at the beginning, before she became a weirdo about him. After that, maybe he just felt guilty or sorry for her.. You know he is kind hearted. One thing is for sure - He doesn't want to date her and he never did."

"How do you know?"

"I just do." She sounded confident.

"Ok.." I wanted to ask a little more about the two of them, but I was scared finding out the truth. It's probably better if I don't know what Sumi is capable of..

"You know, I actually think you two are a good match." Sey smiled.

"Do you think it's funny? Why bring it up after this whole conversation?"

"Ha! You didn't deny it!" Sey said happily.

"Deny what? I told you already there is nothing going on." This is really getting ridiculous and repetitive.

"So you don't think about him like that at all?" She questioned.

"I don't know. I don't feel anything right now beside being annoyed because of your nonsense." I said and threw a clean napkin at her.

"Fine." She gave up. "Just be careful."

"I will.." I promised but I wasn't sure I could actually do it.. It's not like I can control it, and it looks like Sumi hate me even if I just breath. This is so messed up.

"I need to go back to practice.." Sey said and took her plate.

"Have fun!" I called after her and stayed in my seat. I still haven't finished my food, but honestly, I didn't feel like finishing it anymore. I forced myself to eat the rest and went back to practice as well.

I practiced really hard this time. It was a good way to get rid of all the thoughts and negative emotions. I just needed to clear my mind for a bit, and focus on my dance as well. After 3 hours of intense practice I finally flopped down onto the floor, exhausted. I took the water bottle that was laying near my bag and drank half of it in one gulp.

When I passed by the bulletin board after practice I noticed a new announcment was hung on it. We have a meeting tomorrow with all the trainees and some staff for some reason. There is no way to avoid the meeting.

~

All the trainees ware gathered in the large practice room, sitting in a circle and waiting for Jinu and the staff. No one knew what the meeting was about, so everyone looked confused.

After a few minutes Jinu finally walked in with the staff and they sat beside us.

"Good, everyone is here." Jinu said smiling. "You probably have no idea what this meeting is about, right?" Everyone nodded.

"It's about your next monthly evaluation" Jinu comtinued, making the people in the room curious. "We are going to do a little competition. It's a couple dance, and to motivate you, the winning couple will get a day off."

"But there are more guys than girls.." one of the guys said.

"Well, Hyeri is going to do two dances because she didn't do her solo dance in the previous evaluation and she also missed part of the weekly evaluation."

"What?" I asked surprised. This is bad. How am I supposed to do two couple dances, a solo dance, a song and helping Sey with her song in two and a half weeks?

"It's just fair that you sacrifice more this time since you got to rest, unlike the others." Jinu said dryly. "Why? you don't want to do it?"

"I do." well, it's not like I have a choice anyway.

"Great, then it's settled." Jinu smiled. "Decide on the couples between yourselves and let me know by this evening."

When we were left alone the room became chaotic. After a long debate I ended up being paired with Minho and Hyuk. I don't know them that well, but they look like nice guys. Minho is a little taller than me, skinny and looks fragile. Hyuk, on the other hand, look like someone who workout a lot. The first thing that catch your eye about him is his muscles and well- build body. I guess the routines are going to be just as different as their looks..

6:00. The dorm. My alarm clock went off. 16 more days until the avaluation. I sighed and got out of bed to brush my teeth and to get ready for practice.

10:00. The third floor in the company. I finished practicing with Sey on her song. She asked me last week to help her with it because she needed a singer and I agreed. I can't reject her, and I like singing with her.

13:00. I finished practice my own song. Funny enough, I chose to sing a Taeyang song, and in my duet with Sey I'm also doing Taeyang's part. 

17:00. The practice room on the third floor. I've been practicing with Hyuk for hours now. He is good at acrobatics and so am I, so we decided to use it for our dance. Gun was happy since he can get a little crazy with us because of that, but it's actually pretty hard and my body started to ache from all the jumping and falling. It's been a while since I did this much acrobatics..

21:00. I met with Minho to work on our dance. Luckily, he is the weakest dancer from the boys, hence our dance is a little easier and is kind of fun. At least that.. If it was two dances like my dance with Hyuk I would have probably died. If not from the dance itself than from practicing on all the stuff I need to do for the evaluation. The next two weeks are going to be hell for me.

00:00. I finally finished working on my dance for the evaluation. It's the dance I was supposed to do the last time, but I changed it a little bit. Now I can finally get back to the dorm and rest.

On my way to the exit I bumped into Yongguk. . What am I going to do now?

"Hey" He smiled. "Going back to the dorm?"

"Yes.."

"Great, I'll walk you there." He said and opened the door for me.

We started walking quietly to my dorm. I was too busy thinking about what to do and trying to act normal around him that I didn't notice I was walking a bit behind him and he had to stop and wait for me.

"Is anything wrong?" He asked worried. Am I that easy to read?

"No, I'm just tired." I tried to smile.

"You are working hard." He smiled.

"I try to.." I said quietly. "You are as well. I heard you won in Inkigayo, so congragulations!"

"Thank you." He said shyly.

"When do you finish promoting?"

"Hmm In two weeks, because we have concerts after that."

"I'm so envy.." I said quietly.

"Don't worry, your time will come as well.." He smiled and ruffled my hair.

"Hey.." I whined when my hair became a mess thanks to him. Like my hair wasn't messy to begin with.

"Cute." He said quietly and put his hands in his pockets, not looking at me.

"Who is?" I stared at him.

"The kitten over there.." He said and pointed on a stray cat that rolled around on the grass. Nice save.

"So cute!" I beamed and got closer to the little kitten. I have a weakness for animals, especially cats and dogs. The little kitten wailed. "Too bad we can't take him since we can't have pets in the dorm.."

"I'm sure he will be fine."

"I hope so.." I stared at the kitten. He looked so miserable.

"We should go, it's getting late." Yongguk said and helped me get up. 

"Right.. don't remind me.." I sighed.

"It will be fine." He gave me an encouraging smile.

"I hope so.." I said and both of us didn't say anything else for the rest of the walk.

"Wer'e here." I said when we arrived at my dorm.

"Good night." He smiled his gummy smile.

"Good night" I smiled and he left. This wasn't as akward as I thought it would be.. I just need to ignore Sumi and do what I want to do and let things happen in their own time. Sumi will probably hate me no matter what I do, so I don't need to make a special effort to please her.

When I got to the dorm all the girls were asleep except for Sumi who wasn't in the dorm. She probably stayed at the company to practice.. But then again, if she was there, why didn't she came back with us as well?

"Boo!" Eun Hee startled me.

"You scared me."

"I'm sorry.. What were you daydreaming about?"

"Nothing.. Good night."

Author's Note:

Sumi is just full of surprises.. It's like opening Pandora's box.

There is more Sumi in the next episode, meaning things will get messier.

P.S - Have you seen the new teaser for B.A.P's comeback yet? The Mato Puzzle is so cute :)

I will be more than happy to recieve feedback (of any kind).
