   "Zelo-ah! Have you seen this video??" Hwajae noona asked excitedly while handing me her phone and taking a bite of her parfait.

  "Who is it?" I asked, taking it and scooting a little closer so she could watch too.

   "Exo."

  "Haha finally." We both laughed and watched the new video quietly. Our relationship has become pretty regular in the past week. We hang out just about every morning now. I still havent mentioned her to my hyungs and honestly there isn't really a reason... I guess I'm just feeling lucky to have atleast one friend who's not obsessed with my hyungs. I still want to be selfish for just a little bit longer.

   "Wow that's really cool!" I exclaimed while one of the members showed off their powers by leaving fire prints as he walked.

  "Haha just like you noona!" I joked. She laughed then pointed to the screen.

  "Yeah but watch them dance!" I looked back to the smartphone as the members danced in sync.

   "They're very good." I commented finally.

   "I know." She answered

   "Haha I love the monks." We laughed and soon enough it was over.

   "Jowah." I handed it back to her and she took it with a shy smile.

   "I still like BAP more..." She blushed cutely and I mirrrored it with a smile.

   "I wish I cloud dance like you guys... that would be awesome.."

   "You could if you tried," I encouraged. "Noona has a great hip hop foundation to work on."

   "Jinjja? You think so?"

   "Mnnn!" I nodded.

   "Hmm... but I would need a good teacher.." She said with a slight grin. I grinned back and tilted my head, opening my arms in a welcoming motion. She laughed with an eye smile and tiled her head.

   "Would you?" I thought over it for a moment. It wasn't as easy an answer as it seemed. It was dangerous, honestly. My hyungs will probably get suspicious, especially Yongguk, and It will be hard to make the time after school...

  "Of course!" I didn't let my conscious do what it should have before I answered with a smile.

  "Wahh! Jinjja Zelo sunsaengnim is the best!" She exclaimed and hugged me. I couldn't help but blush with the way she called me. Hopefully she wont do that too much...

  Suddenly the morning bell rung and both of our faces dropped.

  "Well I guess I'll see you after school?" She proposed while standing up and slipping her bag over her shoulder.

   "Mmm, what time?" I agreed.

  "How bout around Seven? Is that too late?"

   "No, It's perfect." I answered more confidently than I was actually feeling.

   "Awesome! See you then!" She waved before heading off to class amd I did the same. An uneasiness followed me the whole day however.

   I hope this works out...

   I was really excited to train with Zelo tonight. I knew becoming friends couldn’t be that bad, in fact, lately, I’ve been really glad that I decided to befriend Zelo-ah. Kungeun and Yumi-ah are great friends but…  they don’t really know everything about me.

   They don’t dance or sing so they wouldn never understand and I can’t really share with them my passions. But with Zelo-ah, he understands everything. He gets me, completely, and that’s only something I’ve ever experienced with my brother.

   Speaking of which, soon enough, it was time to go home and there, I found him.

   “Oppa, you’re home early today?” I asked as I set my bag down after entering our small house. He was in the kitchen, most likely preparing for dunner.

   “Mi-ah!” He sang as he whipped around to find me in the door way and scooped me up off my feet into a twirly hug.

“Wasseo!”

   “Ahaha, of course Oppa.” I laughed at his exaggerated enthusiasm. He chuckled back as he let me down to the floor again.

   “Ahhh, so, how was school then, baby girl?” I smiled as I sat and watched my big brother go back to stirring his noodles. I laughed again, ignoring his question and instead, rose to my feet again to scold his bad cooking.

   “Yah haha! You have to turn it down or else the noodles will over cook!” He pouted as I gently pushed him aside and turned down the knob on the burner.

   “Don’t be sad~” I teased and pinched his cheek before taking the spoon and steadily beginning to stir the soup.

   “I was hoping to take a little off your hands…” He confessed glumly. “All I seem to be doing lately is working, eating and sleeping. I wanted to make it up to you…” I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

   “That’s not true.” I comforted. “You always watch Dream High with me.” I smiled hoping it would rub off on him and I could easily see it beginning to.  “Besides,” I went back to being serious. “There wouldn’t be any food for me to cook, if it weren’t for your hard work.” I added sincerely and his face turned into an expression of appreciation.

  “Yeah, I guess you’re right kiddo.” He chuckled softly and patted my head before getting out the rest of the ingredients for me.

  “So you’ve been singing extra for me lately, right?” A chill ran through me at his innocent question.

  “I-I guess, you could say that…” I answered, trying not to act weird. He had no idea just how much “extra” I had been singing and dancing.

   “Good.” He replied firmly then he started to act like a pabo as he sung the tearful lyrics of Se7en’s song, When I can’t Sing.

   “Even if I lose everything, if my popularity drops

Even if I can’t sing, if I get a different job

Will you still be able to love me for who I am?~”

   He was just messing around, but the fact that it was pretty much true, was slightly heart wrenching…

   “You say that you love me but

Am I really who you love?

You say that you fell for me but

Am I really the one who made you fall for me?

When you are in my arms, looking at me

I want to ask you these questions~”

   I answered, continuing the song as I cooked and he danced across the kitchen while he brought me more food.

  “Someday, the day will come

I’ll come down from the stage where the cheers have decreased”

   He danced around the small kitchen imitating some of the mellow moves before he returned to my side and slowed the tempo to an even sadder tone and looked at me.  My smile faded as I couldn’t tell if he was being corny or serious.

   “As my shoulders droop down

My head hung low (even then)

Will you still stand by my side...?”

   I dropped my shoulders and leaned over into him, clicking my tongue as he had depressed me.

   “Oppa…” I pouted into his shoulder and he chuckled, causing it to rub against my cheek.

  “Don’t worry baby girl~” He swooned. “I’ve still got you.” He kissed my hair and I felt a little better but I still couldn’t help but bleed a little for my brother whenever I had to think of him letting go of his dreams. But he didn’t seem too bad off… so I tried not to let it bother me too much.

  

   Before long, the ramen had finished and we sat down together like we always did whenever we got the chance.

  “So!” Sunggyu started after our previous conversation had died down. “Did you get a boyfriend yet, or are you going to die alone??” He teased.

  “Oppa!” I scolded in offence and he laughed.

  “Well, my sister is quite a looker you know? I’ve got to keep an eye on her.” I turned away, glaring at our cat, Piro (like the one from the anime Kanon) as my brother started to make me embarrassed. After a long moment of receiving the cold shoulder, he finally chuckled.

   “So I take it, there’s no boys for me to beat up?” He asked, still trying to be a smart .

   “Well…” I started after thinking about it for a moment but immediately wishing I had just agreed when the mood suddenly lost all playfulness. “There’s this one kid I’ve been hanging out with. He’s really sweet…” I started. Sunggyu tipped his head in that interrogative, fatherly type way and it worked because it was starting to make me nervous.

   “But he’s only a freshman so he’s too young for me.” I reassured. He gave me a sideways glare before eventually lightening up.

   “Alright~” He warned. “But if he starts bringing his erted older buddies around then we’re gunna have a problem~”

  “Ne, Oppa.” I faked a smile and small laughed for I couldn’t manage to be genuine with the uncomfortable feeling settled in my stomach. He had no idea…

 Suddenly, the clock on the wall caught my eye, causing my heart to drop.

"I'm full." I said bluntly, standing up with my quarter filled bowl.

"Hey, why the rush??" Sunggyu looked up at me with a confused pout.

"I-I'm late for something." He stood up and followed me into the kitchen looking more confused and maybe a little irritated.

"W-Wait, Wh-.." He let out a confused chuckle between his stutters. "What could you possibly be missing right now??" He questioned as I covered my bowl and put it in the fridge.

"Yah, Mijun-ah." His tone became sterner when I didn't answer him. I stopped dead in my tracks and stook in the doorway feeling his glare burning the back of my head.

 “How come you’re never at home anymore???” His words stung me for it was something that haunted my conscience. I hated outright lying to him, so I'll just tell as much of the truth as I can.

"I'm, dancing... again, Oppa." I turned around to see his surprised expression. There was a spark in his wide eyes but before he could be happy, reality sunk back into him and he looked at me sternly, shifting on his feet. The way adults always did when they were trying to think through what you'd done.

"..Where are you getting the money?" He asked seriously.

"I'm not." He looked concerned until I clarified. "It's a different studio, it's free." He looked like he didn't quite believe you.

"...Really..?" I nodded.

"Where?"

"Uh-" That was a bad question. "Just a bus stop away." I answered honestly. He rubbed his face in thought.

"Hmm.. well you won't be gone long right?" I brightened as I sensed him lightening up.

"Ne, just a couple hours." I smiled at him, seein my escape in the horizon. He stared at me athoritally then droppedthe charade and geve me a tight hug.

"Be carful.." He said softly. I squeezed him back right away, thrilled that he was letting me go.

"Thank you oppa!" I felt him smile against my shoulder before he hid it as we pulled back.

"No later than 9:30!" He warned as I grabbed my stuff and headed for the door.

"Promise!" I shouted back and stepped out, breaking into a run as soon as I hit the sidewalk.

I finished my shower and handed the bathroom over to Himchan not long after we had finished eating.

When I re-entered our room I found an unusual sight. Rather than having fallen asleep like usual, Zelo was looking like he was getting ready to go somewhere.

"Whatcha doin'~" I asked skeptically, following him around as I rubbed my head with a towel.

"Going to the studio." He answered flately. Zelo likes practicing but he doesn't usually go late like this. Besides, it's not like he needs it.

"Wae?" I asked, not letting him get away so easy.

"Because." He answered. That frustrated me and I stepped infront of him as he tried to pass through the door.

"Hyung!~" He whined. "I had an idea! I'll only be gone a little while..." I stared at him, not sure if I should believe him or not.

"...Can I come?" I asked, lightning up a bit. Surely he would let me, not to be concieted but.. Zelo-ah adores me.

"No!" He answered without a seconds hesitation. I was shocked.

"Mwo?? Wae!?" I asked, honestly, maybe even a little offended.

"Palli! Jebhal or I'll forget!" He persisted, ignoring my questioning. I grumbled and stepped aside, letting him by. He stopped to give me a hug but I just looked away, irritated with myself for being so soft.

"Gomawoyo Hyung!"I'm so suspicious about that boy...

   I was lucky to get by Yongguk hyung like that. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he followed me to the studio and spied on our practice. It’s all those war movies that make him feel like a ninja warrior or something like that. I rushed to get there on time but when I had finally arrived, all the lights were still off.

  “Did I miss her…?” I worried as I wandered inside. I took out my phone and checked the time, I was only 15 minutes late. Surely she would have waited….right?  Unless she stood you up. My conscious had to step in and make things worse.  I shook my head, pushing away those thoughts.

   I decided to stay for a little while and wait. Besides, I wasn’t completely lying to Bang Hyung when I said I had had an idea.

   I grabbed the input cable we hooked up to the sterio and plugged my phone into it, putting it on shuffle until I found the right beat.

   I finally arrived nearly a half hour late. I hope He doesn’t think I ditched…  I thought anxiously as I hurried up all the stairs. I

   Finally, I had reached our floor and began to aproached BAP’s complimentary room. I slowed my pace as I began to feel the thump of the bass grow stronger with every step.

   I then peeked inside to see Zelo-ah, dancing and quietly snuck in the room. He didn’t notice so I just kept silent and found a spot to sid and watch.

   I watched him normally at first but before long, I was completely consumed. He was so incredible for his age, even for my age and even above. He was just awesome period. His combos were so well thought out for a freestyle, I mean, it almost looked as if it had been carefully choreographed.

  Too soon, the song ended and he stopped to take a break, finally noticing me, reacting in surprise.

  “N-Noona!.” His cheeks turned pink and he went straight into shy mode. I stood up to meet him, unable to hide the excitement on my face.

   “That was amazing!” I complimented, clappng a couple claps.

   “Heheh.. Gomawoyo..” I smiled, handing him his water and he took it greatfully.

   “So, wat are you going to teach me?” I asked curiously as he finished taking a sip.

   “hmm…” He thought. “Well, I could help you with your choreography or… we could learn something new.” I lit up at the offer.

   “Something new!” I replied without thougt.

    “You sure?” He asked.

   “For sure.” I replied confidently. “It’s a challenge and besides, I’m hoping some of Zelo-sungsaeng’s awesome style will rub off on me.” I grinned at him and he smiled back

   “That’s the perfect drive.” He said with a grin of his own.

   “What’s your favorite dance song?” He then asked. Ohhhh…. That’s an artist’s hardest question. He should know.

   “Hmmm…” I thought.

   “We should do ‘I’m still fly’ since it shows our unstopable drive.” I suggested.

  “And our young greatness!” He added and we bothe laughed.

   “It’s perfect!”

  He walked over to the sterio system and pulled it up on his phone. It started playing and we smiled at each other. I mouthed to the beginning as the swag sunk in, taking over like always. It’s one of my favorite feelings in the world.

 

 “I never give up.

   Cause I got a dream.

   Just keep doin’ mah own thing.

   Jusssayin, cause~”

 

   Then as the hook cam on, I broke into some mediocre moves while I warmed up to the beat.

   I shot a fun smile to Zelo and he laughed before stealing my thunder as he joined in too.

   After the first run of fooling around and getting the feel of it, we settled in and began coming up with some great choreography. I was so excited to be here like this, I felt bad about leaving my brother but I must say, I don’t regret it at all.

   It was getting late and Zelo still wasn't back. In slight irritation, I looked to my clock, 9:18 it read.

   "Has anyone heard from Zelo?" I asked as I stopmed unintentionally into the living room where all the members were hanging out for the last our before we hit the sack.

   They all exchanged glances, some confused, maybe a little worried then there was the distant abscence in Daehyun and the clueless search in Jongup's eyes.

   "I..haven't... have you hyung?" Youngjae answered, turning to Himchan.

   "No, why? Where'd he go?"

   "He told me he had a dance idea." I explained, feeling frustrated with myself for letting him go.

   "He'll be back." He simply brushed it off. I scoffed and walked past them to head for the door.

   Aaand this is why I'm the group leader. I thought to myself as I headed out the door.

   It was a little chilly out still but you could never guess anymore if the spring weather was going to be cold or warm. I let a last chill run through my body before I tensed it, preventing anymore shaking until my body heat adjusted.

   Finally, I made it to the studio. I looked up to the floor that we danced on and found the lights on so I decided to go inside. It was quiet and dark on the first floor. I made my way through the barely lit rooms in search for the stair case.

   Suddenly I heard a rattle in the lther room that caught my attention. I swurved around but did't see anything. Are you seriously going to scare yourself like this you ?? I scolded myself but just then there was a breeze that brushed across my back and I spun to see a figure with long flowy hair sweep down the stair case and put of my sight to the exit.

   I stiffined up and felt my face scrunch up and my eyes widen.

   What in the ..?? Did I fall asleep while I was waiting or something....? I took a confused step back and bumped into another weight, giving me another jump.

   "Yah!" I shouted and turned around, ready to slug whoever was giving me the ing creeps. However, I immediately froze, seeing who it was.
