Aya Mi also wandered the hallway, but she really had no idea of where she would be going.

They were supposed to be practicing, but with Ae Young practicing for Immortal Song, Ri Ah at a CF shooting and Jaeyeon and Chan Ah working out for Dream Team, the others had nothing else to do.

Aya Mi got lost in her thoughts of wandering what MCing would be like that she forgot to pay attention to where she was going.

“Oof!”

“Watch where you’re going!” A familiar voice yelled at her and she cringed.

“I’m sorry..” Aya Mi muttered softly.

“Oh, Aya. Sorry. I was just... I need to vent.” Sungjong apologized.

“Ahh.. It’s okay. I’m sure you guys are just troubled.” Aya Mi waved it away.

“Come, let me vent to you.” Sungjong pulled her along into an empty room.

“Okay, how are you?” Aya Mi asked, starting off the conversation so that it wouldn’t be awkward.

“Mad. Sad. Frustrated.” Sungjong said curtly, he let out a deep sigh, “It’s just Sunggyu hyung is so demanding sometimes. And I can’t get through it without wanting to punch my teddy bear.” He cried out.

“Awww.. Sungjong oppa. You shouldn't injure your teddy bear like that. He has feelings too.” Aya Mi said to tease but was also completely serious about it.

It was enough to make him chuckle, “Really? He has feelings? Can you talk to him?” Sungjong asked, playing along.

“No. But I know that it’s not nice to hit things.” Aya Mi said firmly.

“Okay. Well, are you willing to listen?” He asked.

“Of course. Sure.” Aya Mi said.

“It’s just .. The new choreography it’s killing me and like Sunggyu hyung is crazy. Because our comeback is soon.” Sungjong said.

“Teach it to me.” Aya Mi said.

“Okay.” Sungjong stood up and showed Aya Mi the chorus.

She followed along as best as she could until she got it.

“You should probably get back to practice.” Aya Mi said panting but smiling.

“I know. But at least I feel better now.” Sungjong grinned back at her.

“I hope it’s okay. And I hope it’s not too harsh for you.” Aya Mi replied.

“It should be. Now, that I’m calm. Also, I should talk to you more often.” He said, “I definitely feel better after talking to you. Better than punching my teddy bear.” He smiled.

“I told you. He has feelings. Maybe he will talk to me. You should introduce us.” Aya Mi winked at him.

“Maybe I will. He’s at the dorm. But we’re supposed to do sesame player soon. He can be introduced to you then.” Sungjong said.

“Sure, I will get to listen to him complain about being beaten up by you.” Aya Mi giggled.

“Hey, it’s not that often!” Sungjong denied.

“That’s not what Seo Mi unni heard from Hoya sunbae.” Aya Mi tutted.

“Fine. Be like that.” Sungjong pouted.

Aya Mi tugged on his arm, “Aish, Sungjong oppa! Let’s get ice cream together after, okay?” She suggested to get him happy.

“Okay!! Ice cream!!” Sungjong cheered as he skipped out into the hallway. Then he abruptly stopped and turned around.

He tapped her nose, “Congratulations, by the way, you get to MC.” He said happily before leaving again.

“Gomawo, oppa!” Aya Mi yelled back as she went to find something to do. Maybe she would practice Japanese with one of the other girls or something.
