CL’s POV

    “Good morning…” I greeted happily as I entered our practice room for our dance practice schedule... I saw our back up dancers busy preparing themselves and the girls (dara, Bom, and Minzy) sitting in the corner of the room and chatting to each other without even looking at me.

     I sighed and put a smile on my face while walking towards the bench near the girls... It’s always been like this since dara unnie left... Bom unnie and Minzy would just glance at me...They don’t even talk to me except if it’s about work.

     I sat on the bench and put down my things beside me. Instead of thinking of them, I will just prepare myself for rehearsal. I’m in a good mood today so I wouldn’t let them ruin my day… this happens every morning so I’m used to it already….

    Just then, I felt someone watching me, then I look around just to see Minzy staring at me… the way she looks at me is so warm, unlike before w/c is full of hatred… then she smiled at me… seeing her smiling at me makes me want to cry…. I really missed them, especially Minzy’s sweetness towards me… I smile back at her…

     Sometimes, I really can’t understand myself…  I envy them every time I saw them happy together, and because of that I want to bring back what we have before, but I know I can’t because I’m now a ... and I will continue being a just to make Jiyong oppa stay with me….

   "You look happy?" I heard someone asked… I looked up saw one of our dancer staring at me

     I frowned... “Huh?”

     “You’re smiling since you came here…. I could say that you’re happy…” she said

     I could feel my cheeks blushing…."Am I too obvious?"I shyly asked

     She nodded... "So what made you happy?" she asked curiously

     I glance to the girls and saw dara unnie looking at me.... I then smiled to the dancer in front of me.. "Jiyong oppa called me earlier... He’s coming back later...” I said loudly... Making sure that dara unnie would hear me... dara unnie is a pain in my these past 2 days… I want to get back at her and make her jealous….  Although I lied a little bit, actually it’s not jiyong oppa who called first… it’s me…

     I don’t care if it’s me who made the first move, as long as I can talk to him… he said he was busy that’s why he can’t answer my calls… and I understand him… I will understand him….

AUTHOR’s POV

     Bom raised a brow hearing what CL just said….. “Does she really have to say it loudly….?” She asked irritably while to looking at Dara…

     Dara felt a little pain deep inside her….. But she tried not to show it to them… she just smiled at her… “Maybe she’s just excited to see him again… you’re doing the same thing when it comes to your Tabi…..” she joked with a tinge of hurt in her voice…

     But Bom saw that pain through her eyes… she knew Dara very well… instead of asking she just slap her arm… “Yah… I’m not…” she said riding with Dara’s joke… dara chuckled seeing Bom pouting..

     Dara is trying her best to forget everything but Bom knew it will be hard on her, especially now that she have to face them everyday…. Bom promised dara to be on her side no matter what happens, and she’ll make sure that no one can hurt her again… she loves Dara so much…..

     Minzy is also aware of Dara’s feelings and she admires Dara for that… she now knows how to control her feelings. Despite of being hurt she still managed to show them that she’s strong now…. “I just hope that everything will be alright... That I can see you truly happy, dara unnie…” Minzy thought to herself

     Dara glance at Minzy and frowned seeing her staring at her… “Minji… why?” she asked

     Minzy shook her head and smiled… “Nothing unnie……” she sweetly answered…

     Dara was about to say something when she heard her phone rang… she stood up after she read the message….

     “You’re leaving now?” Bom asked

     Dara nodded… “Yeah, the meeting will start in an hour so I have to leave…” she answered, grabbing her bag…

     “Oh… okay, take care then..” Bom said….

     Dara smiled at them and ready to leave when she heard a voice..

    “dara unnie..”

     Dara stopped and turned around, facing CL

     CL smiled at her… “I have a dinner with oppa later….. Do you want to join us? Bom unnie and Minzy can also join….”

     “Chaerin!” Bom exclaimed as she stood up….. She glared at her

     “What?” CL innocently asked

     “You—“

     “Bommie….” Dara cut her off…. “It’s okay….”... She said... Bom looked at her and sighed in defeat

     Dara turned her gaze back to CL and smiled… “Thank you for inviting, but sad to say, I can’t….”

     CL smirked… “Why? I thought you’ve moved on already…” she asked thinking that she won against Dara…

    Dara suddenly laugh…. “Leader…  I never thought you’re that funny……” she paused…. “Just because I rejected your offer, you’re thinking that I’m still in love with your boyfriend... who happened to be my boyfriend…” she said emphasizing the word “boyfriend
