If there was a feeling Jisoo was well acquainted with, it was that "new kid" feeling that he realized, followed him everywhere. It was there back in LA, when he was that Korean kid in a sea of American faces. Luckily, his sweet personality always made him easily liked. It was the same for when he got into Pledis, this time as the Korean from America whose Korean was limited. Luckily this time, along with his sweet personality, there was also Hansol who spoke English just as well as he did and who acted as his translator most of the time, and even little Samuel. The other boys of Seventeen were also all around his age, and all really friendly too. 

So when a new trainee was introduced two months after Jisoo came in, he made it a point to make sure that the new trainee felt just as welcomed as he did, even if that meant shyly approaching the new trainee with his Korean that still felt oddly foreign on his tongue even if  he spoke it back home.

"Hi, my name is Hong Jisoo, it's good to have you on board!" Jisoo said, reaching his hand out as a form of handshake. 

The new trainee returned the smile and shook his hand as well, a wave of relief passing over his features, "nice to meet you, my name is Yoon Junghan." 

"I'm one of the newer members too," Jisoo said conversationally. "I'm, uhm, from America so my Korean might not be very fluent." 

"Oh that's fine," Junghan said with a laugh. "Hey, maybe you could even teach me sometime." 

Jisoo smiled and agreed, feeling happy at the idea that he was more or less doing a good job at being a senior member. 

Soon the other members crowded around the new face, and questions were thrown here and there. Jisoo learned that they shared the same birth year, which made it even easier for him to talk to Junghan now that formalities weren't completely necessary.  He allowed the other members to do their thing while Jisoo silently made his way inside the recording room, aiming for some alone time with his laptop and maybe his guitar. 

Jisoo was surprised when the door opened a short while later and Junghan's head popped in.

"Hey, am I interrupting anything?"

"No, not at all," Jisoo said quickly. "Welcome." He began to explain how the room worked whenever the camera was open, as Junghan listened with curious eyes how Seventeen TV worked. There were cameras all over the practice room and the idea of it left Junghan bewildered. 

"Wow," Junghan commented. "Trainee life is intense, huh? It also kinda feels like we debuted already."

Jisoo laughed a bit, "yeah, I guess you can say that. Fan are aware of us and all. We do a lot of small performances too. You'll have to learn a few of the dances, I guess."

"You have to guide me then," Junghan stated, grinning. 

Jisoo didn't realize what agreeing to that would lead him to. 

It's been a week since Junghan was introduced to the members, and it was fina
