Chapter 3

That Simple

Aren't I just super fast? Don't you all just love me for it? Teehee, I'm on school holiday for 2 weeks with nothing better to do so all I do is write more and more chapters for 'That Simple' and update in lighting speed.

Thank you for those who have read, commented, subscribed, and even voted 'That Simple' also a huge shoutout to UShaby for creating the beautiful poster.


“Oh? Oppa!” the sudden voice caused both of us to snap our heads to the direction where the voice came from.

My eyes glared at the figure that stood before us. In her full uniform—vest and all—she had mustered what she thinks is ‘cute’ I nearly vomited in my own mouth due to her, I might be allergic to her.

“Suzy!” Yoseob grinned, waving at the younger junior. I rolled my eyes as he approached her. “Oppa, isn’t it too bad that I’m in the second day?” that girl pouted and I rolled my eyes—again. Yoseob shook his head at her, “I think it’s brilliant! Acting would really suit you, Suzy!”

“Suzy-ah!” I exclaimed sugarcoating my distaste for her as I walked over to the two. “I see you have been doing well.” Suzy smiled back and bowed her head at me with the same sugarcoated distaste, “Ah, sunbaenim, I have, thank you for asking. I hope you have also been well.”

“Right, as much as I would love to stay and chat,” I said, stressing the word ‘love’ in a faint sarcastic manner. “We just have to go.” We shared another fake smile at each other as I tugged on Yoseob’s sleeve, pushing him away from her.

For some reason, Bae Suzy never liked me and thankfully, the feeling is mutual. Don’t get me wrong, she a good girl when she’s with other people but she is just way too clingy for my taste. She sugarcoats more things than I do. But I do know she likes Yoseob, which is something we both have in common other than the obvious traits of being female Korean high school students.

“See you later Suzy!” Yoseob waved one last time before properly walking next to me only to be pulled away by another student who is due to perform on the same day Yoseob will. “Oh, and tell Hyuna I need her!” he exclaimed as he was being dragged off to the dance studio by Hyunseung.

I nodded my head, taking mental note to tell her that when I see her.

Hyuna, Kim Hyuna, is a junior and a very cheerful kid though her appearances might say otherwise. Hyuna seems like one of those bad girls who doesn’t want to listen to reason and holds her nose in the air, thinking she is way better than anyone else even though she is the exact opposite. She and I were apart of Cube High School’s special course along with some others and that’s exactly how I got to know her.

Students in Cube High School were divided into three main courses—special course, advanced course, and normal course—though in some lessons, the three courses were often mixed.

Special course students are students who have been accepted by Cube Entertainment, which is an entertainment company that runs Cube High School, as Cube High School is a performing arts school. These students have the guarantee to debut under the Cube name. The student council and some others are in the special course.

Advanced course is for students who show exceptional skills in performing arts but do not have a guarantee to debut under Cube Entertainment even though the fact that they will be scouted by other companies are very likely to happen. It is also up to that student to be in the special course or advanced course.

The students who do not show exceptional performance skills are put in the normal class. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good, it just means they aren’t as good.

A head of wavy jet-black hair passed by and I knew exactly who it was. “Hyuna!” I grabbed a hold of her thin wrist and brought her attention to me. She starred at me for a second, registering it in her mind before responding, “Gayoon unnie, what is it?” “Yoseob needs you.” I said, successfully passing on the message.

“Oppa? What does he need?” Hyuna tilted her head to the side, though she was indeed in good circumstances with Yoseob, they weren’t exactly the closes either. “He was heading to the special course dance studio with Hyunseung oppa, a number probably.”

The younger nodded her head once then left to the direction where the two boys went to earlier but not without waving her hand at me. I waved back at her with a genuine smile and continued my walk to the council office though I ended up getting a call from Jiyoon, my best friend and roommate, telling me that she needed me and she was in the special course recording studio so without much of a choice, I headed over there.

There was a small gap in the door, indicating that Jiyoon was indeed inside. “What’s up?” I asked, opening the door wider for myself. Jiyoon was sitting in the couch with a couple of sheet music in hand.

“Gayoon! You’re here!” Jiyoon exclaimed happily, gesturing to take a seat next to her. “I saw Mr. Jung earlier and he said you, me, Jihyun, Hyuna, and Sohyun are doing a group performance!” she squealed and I couldn’t help but do the same. I had to agree that this sudden performance was a hassle since I have to plan it out but at the same time, I’m not in a performing arts school for nothing, I love performing after all.

“4Minute is back in business!” I raised a hand and Jiyoon high-fived it with a good-natured grin.

Nam Jihyun, Jeon Jiyoon, Kim Hyuna, Kwon Sohyun, and I were all apart of the special course. We performed multiple times before through out the school year in competitions, practice, or just in events like these. The name 4minute was given to us, I know it’s odd though considering we have 5 members but I live for it.

Jiyoon handed me one of the sheet music in her hand and I read the title with interest, I never thought that something like this would end up a title. I hummed the chorus and Jiyoon joined me, harmonizing along, before too long.

“We’re getting a song?” the voice of one Kwon Sohyun cut us off as she was standing in front of the door with Jihyun behind her. “Awesome!” she squealed, taking another sheet music from Jiyoon’s hands for herself and sitting on the armrest of the sofa.

Jihyun took her sheet music in a more calm fashion and that leaves only one more sheet music for Hyuna who was practicing a number with Yoseob and Hyunseung oppa.

Sohyun grin got even wider, if that was possible, “I got the first line!” she said in a singsong voice. I rolled my eyes at her and the two Jis giggled, it was only one word and look how happy our little girl is to the point she decided to happy dance.

From the corner of my well-trained eyes, I saw Jihyun sending a text to someone, Hyuna maybe? Oh well, not my problem.

“I gotta rush, Naeun needs me.” Jihyun stood, slipping the sheet music into her folder neatly. “Practice at five-thirty here okay? Not a minute late.”

I mimicked Jihyun’s actions and stood up from my spot next to Jiyoon. “I gotta go too,” I declared, slipping the sheet music in my own folder. “I have some planning to do.”

Thus finally, I continue my trip to the council room, hopefully uninterrupted. But I had to make a stop at the dance studio since I have Hyuna’s sheet music with me and the girl has to have it.

I silently opened the door to the dance studio and saw a red Yoseob sitting on the side, trying to look away but the mirrors around the room wasn’t helping. I peeked my head in a little and immediately understood why he was bright red, at the center of the room Hyuna and Hyunseung are practicing a very daring number.

Though half of me was already inside the room, I knocked on the door to catch everyone’s attention. The dancing duo stopped what they were doing in between the song, both blushing madly and Yoseob looked as if he were thanking the high heavens for my timing.

“Unnie!” Hyuna said, finally the first person to speak. “What are you doing here?” her breathing was heavy, a habit she has after every performance. Usually, performers were told to hold their breath after a performance to seem more professional, Hyuna just couldn’t do that.

 I walked over to her, taking the last sheet music from my folder and presented it to her. “Here's a 4Minute song.” I said, after hearing those words Hyuna forgot how tired she was from the intense performance with Hyunseung and squealed, snatching the paper from my hands.

“Jihyun said practice five-thirty at the recording studio.” Hyuna nodded enthusiastically.

“Then 4Minute’s choreography will be at six-thirty here.” The dance instructor, ordered. Hyuna and I nodded our heads and I made a mental note to send a text to the others about it.

I was about to close the door as I exited when a sudden blob of black hair ran through the opening I made. “I don’t want to watch that.” Yoseob shook his head, his embarrassed eyes covered by his bangs. “Everyone will.” I remained him, much to his dismay.

As a result I ended up heading to the council with Yoseob, I tried to lighten up the mood by talking about the song and it worked perfectly, Yoseob has always been a fan of 4Minute.

“That’s a weird title.” Yoseob pointed out bluntly, I couldn’t help but agree with him. I also thought it was a weird title, compared to his song that is. He told me his group also received a song.

Yoseob’s group consisted of himself, Yoon Doojoon, Yong Junhyung, Jang Hyungseun, Lee Gikwang, and Son Dongwoon—they’re called B2ST though it’s pronounced as ‘BEAST’. I’m also a fan of them, the same way Yoseob is a fan of 4Minute.

 I silently blessed my stars; the council was just in sight, only a few more steps to go until I return to my desk and plan before Gina scolds me about it and God knows that if she does, it will not end pretty, I shuddered at the thought of getting scolded by Gina. She’s an amazing person and all just not when angered.

Unfortunately, luck is clearly not on my side because just as Yoseob and I made our way to the door, our only entrance was blocked by non-other than the source of the problem, Mr. Jung. “If it isn’t my best vocalists!”
