Dear Diary, I am Fat.

“Aren’t you excited for the dance camp? It’s coming soon!” One of the girls asked excitedly.

“Yea. I am looking forward to the camp, particularly to the dance party night… It’s has always been the most fun part every year~” The other girl replied.

Cho Hee raised an eyebrow as she overheard their conversation.

“The dance camp is coming soon? The date has been confirmed? Why am I not informed?” Cho Hee questioned in her mind.

“I am sorry.” Cho Hee said cautiously as she went up to the two girls.

They didn’t bother to reply her but just look to her with distasteful expressions on.

“May I know whether the date of the dance camp has been confirmed?” she asked her dance club’s juniors.

“Yea.” One of them replied simply.

“Can you give me date, reporting time and other details?” Cho Hee asked.

“How about you ask Jiyeon unnie since you have so many enquiries? We are busy.” the other girl said in an annoyed tone.

“Ah, okay. Sorry for disturbing. Umm… Thanks.” Cho Hee said awkwardly.

The two girls left and Cho Hee dropped her fake smile.

“I am not even respected by my own juniors…” Cho Hee thought and sighed.

Cho Hee reported earlier to the dance practice and spotted Jiyeon setting up the music player.

“Jiyeon.” Cho Hee called out cautiously as she walked over.

“What?” Jiyeon asked as she continued fiddling with the player.

“I was thinking… you might have accidentally forgotten to inform me about the dance camp’s details.” Cho Hee informed.

Jiyeon looked up and smirked.

“Oh right. Indeed, I have forgotten about your existence.” She said crudely.

Cho Hee felt tears welling up in her eyes as she heard her cruel words.

“Here, the camp details. I am sorry but this one is dirtied and it is the last piece I have with me. I know you wouldn’t mind.” Jiyeon said as she handed her a handout which had a footprint on.

“Yea, I don’t mind. Thanks.” Cho Hee said as she took the handout.

Cho Hee turned around and forced her tears to subside because she didn’t want to cry before Jiyeon. She knew she would not be guilty or sympathetic. Instead, Cho Hee knew better that Jiyeon would just be happy and smug about successfully making her cry. She would probably just pick on her more.

“No tears are allowed to fall.” She told herself as she took in a deep breath.

The dance club members started to stream into the studio in their usual groups. Before the reporting time reached, everyone was present there.

“Hello everyone! Let’s stretch a little and get ready to dance the full thing we had been learning all this time. I suppose you guys still remember the steps, right?” Jiyeon asked.

“Ne!” Everyone answered in sync.

“Alright! We will begin in 3 minutes time after you people are done stretching.” She said with a smile.

“. I am afraid I will forget the steps halfway…” Cho Hee thought.

She closed her eyes and started picturing the dance moves from the start.

“Damn. What’s after the sliding move? What’s after the spinning movement? Is it the right hand or the left hand that we are supposed to raise?” Cho Hee questioned nervously in her mind.

She was racking her brain to recall the steps when she heard movements around her. Opening her eyes, she spotted everyone standing up and getting ready.

“Gosh. I cannot remember anymore.” Cho Hee cursed as she got up quickly too.

“Sparklex, are you ready to show me a perfect dance?” Jiyeon asked.

“Yes!” Everyone answered loudly with confidence.

Jiyeon nodded her head with satisfaction before playing the song. Once the music began, she hurriedly positioned herself at the front of the class and started dancing to the beat.

“1,2,3,4. 2,2,3,4. 3,2,3,4. 4,2,3,4…” Jiyeon counted the beats as she danced powerfully.

The other members, including Cho Hee who was trying her best to keep up were relatively in sync. Halfway through the song, sweat droplets began trickling down her forehead endlessly, making it hard to concentrate.

“Gosh. What’s after this move?! Cho Hee, faster recall…” Cho Hee thought anxiously as her mind blanked out.

“3,2,3- STOP!” Jiyeon screamed as she stared at the mirror reflection in an upset manner.

“.” Cho Hee thought as she spotted Jiyeon glaring at her.

“The dance was perfect all this time until YOU ruined it!” She pointed at Cho Hee and shouted harshly.

“I…I…am sorry. I forgot the steps.” Cho Hee apologized as she looked down.

“Forgot?” Jiyeon spun around and brushed her fringe aside.

“Y-Yea. I’m sorry.” Cho Hee apologized again.

“Forgetting is not an excuse. You are telling me everyone else can remember and only you can’t? Shouldn’t you at least familiarize yourself with the steps before coming to practice? What’s the point of coming if you are just here to be a black spot which ruin the overall dance performance?” Jiyeon said as she folded her hands before her.

“I am sorry. I would practice harder at home.” Cho Hee mumbled softly.

“You better do.” Jiyeon replied and rolled her eyes.

“Stupid. Now we have to restart again.” Hoya cursed as he sighed in an annoyed manner.

“I was putting in my best efforts just now…” One of the girls complained as Jiyeon replayed the song.

“Spoiler.” Another one of them remarked.

Reluctantly, everyone started dancing from the beginning of the song again. They were seemingly annoyed and upset about restarting because of Cho Hee. During the dance, a droplet of tear slipped out of Cho Hee’s eye and dripped onto the ground together with her sweat.

“I am the black spot of ‘Sparklex’…” Cho Hee thought as she held back her overwhelming emotions.

Dear Diary

Today was a horrible day. Jiyeon didn’t inform me about the dance camp details.
My juniors from ‘Sparklex’ couldn’t be bothered to tell me the details and told me to ask Jiyeon instead…
It when I am not respected, even among my juniors…
When I went up to Jiyeon after which, she said that she had forgotten about my existence… At that moment, I felt so hurt. Her words were so harsh and hurtful. Although she gave me a handout with the details printed on it, it was a dirtied copy. She said that it was the last so she has no choice.
But I think I saw a clean copy lying below her bag… She lied.
Today, I screwed up the dance practice yet again. Despite having practised the dance over and over again at home, my stupid mind blanked out and I still forgot the steps.
Unlike the usual times, she scolded me really harshly in front of the others today.
“What’s the point of coming if you are just here to be a black spot which ruin the overall dance performance?”
Those are her exact words.
Maybe… she is right.

With love

Cho Hee

Chapter 23: This whole story took me on an emotional rollercoaster since I can relate to it. Honestly, it being the outcast. I'm glad that Cho Hee got the happy ending that she deserves and wanted. Life can be so cruel sometimes. This truly deserves an upvote. Thank you for writing this story. Lots of love! :)

Chapter 5: I just wondered if this life-dancing things really fit her in. It amazed me on how she could bear everything to this point. If I were her, I might be turning myself into other things that would fit me in at least. I sort of experienced this kind of things too, feeling useless and sometimes being mocked due to my physical features that obviously limiting myself from doing sports. So I chose not to involve in certain things. I partially understood Cho Hee; she was like a reflection of me nevertheless I was in a better society than her. I remembered I read this before as it was so relatable and very heart-warming. And inspiring too :)

Chapter 24: I can't find any words for what I'm feeling right now. Honestly,I've never expected to read such an amazing well written story and without the typical perfect skinny girl who gets the hot guy. I love the plot and cried because I know this feeling,not to that extend but I know it and it's so painful that I can't describe it at all. I love you for finding the right words without making it sound cheesy or weird. I'm glad that I've read your story,glad that I'm able to say that I enjoyed it a lot.
