Part 14.
Pet DogA few days passes and the two are still not talking. It drives them both crazy; it also drives the members crazy as Yuju becomes even clumsier than she has ever been and as ShinB turns into a cranky little monster.
"Yuju, that's the way to the old practice room," Sowon watches as the member strays away from the group and walks off by herself.
"Yuju! Choi Yuna!" Yerin calls out when Yuju does not stop, not hearing Sowon.
Yuju finally halts her footsteps and turns around, finally getting aware of her surroundings. "Mianhae," she whispers and returns to the rest.
"Let's get in and start practising," their manager says and the girls obey.
When they are learning the choreography to their new song, ShinB as usual memorises the moves easily, but does not remember that it is not the same for the rest of the members.
"Yahh, Umji, can't you remember it already?" ShinB chides as the maknae once again fails to recall the sequence at the chorus. The atmosphere turns hard cold and no one dares to speak, except for Sowon who's also too done with the two of them to say anything.
When they reach the dance break Eunha trips over her own footing again and again, causing ShinB to click her tongue in annoyance.
"Hwang Eunbi, you're younger here," Eunha chides. ShinB does not reply but rolls her eyes.
"Oh my god Hwang Eunbi, get a grip of yourself!" Sowon suddenly screams, "Choi Yuna you as well!"
"What did we do?" ShinB yells back in protest.
"Oh you're asking me what you did?" Sowon raises her tone even higher.
"What did I do?" Yuju asks and the whole room falls silent. Suddenly ShinB realises what's happening, why's everything happening, and what she has been doing. ShinB glances at Yuju whose face has pain and confusion written all over. Guilt overcomes ShinB's heart, feeling as if everything is all her fault.
ShinB turns back and looks down, before falling to the ground and hugging her knees tight. Her teeth chatter as she grows anxious with thoughts swarming in her mind.
Has she not decided to get a dog for the two of them, ShinB wouldn't have fallen so deeply in love with Yuju, and things won't turn out to burden Yuju.
ShinB squeezes her eyes shut she shakes her head. She wants to talk it out with Yuju, wishing that Yuju would actually like her back, wishing that everything between them will be okay.
