Yuna went home when the sky just turn dark. She must convince Seokmin that he doesn’t need to her and it’s really okay for her to walk alone. Seokmin – still feels bad but left with no choice beside let her, bid his goodbye after cross the street together because from that point they go to different direction.

Her mom welcomed her with her usual delicious dinner, and although her mom still terrors her with school-related-question, she was too busy with her food. That tutoring session drain her energy a lot, so she stuffed a lot of food too into . Yuna relieved she could quickly escaped with her mom’s aftermath dinner question and use ‘I have a lot of homework’ to do as an excuse. Her mom let her, and although she feels bad inside, she just can’t talk to her mom without being pressured yet.

One bad thing about her excuse is that actually one hundred percent true, that she really has a lot of homework to do. She has done half of it with Seokmin earlier, but when she looks at her homework now, she doesn’t think she could do it by herself. She takes a look to Seokmin’s senior notes, to her homework, to Seokmin’s summary, and repeat. After struggling for hours, she only could finish seven questions. Her eyes widened when she glances at her clock, and it shows twelve o’clock.

“That’s it. I give up.” she clears her books and goes to her bed straightly then flopped herself on it. She sighed as she could see Mrs. Noh picture on her ceiling, smile wickedly and whisper, ‘Told ya’. She shoo away that annoying imagination and could finally admit and understand her mom and Mrs. Noh intention to tutor her and use student instead of formal teacher. Yuna didn’t know how stupid she is until her tutoring session going on. She hardly understand even the most basic one, and it was irritated her so much. She couldn’t imagine how many death glares she would receive if it weren’t Seokmin who tutor her. Instead of sighing or protesting, Seokmin patiently explaining again and over again, sometimes chuckled when she unconsciously ruffled her own hair out of frustration.

“It’s okay.” Seokmin cheer her up, “No need to rush. I think you know it best that understand the basic of each subject is the most important thing. You won’t go anywhere if you miss the essence of it.”

As a world-wide athlete Yuna know it best. Her couch told her that so in every chance she had, and Yuna experienced it all by her own. But honestly, implied it to Mathematics and basically every subject she learns are two times harder and so much more complicated. If only I could understand it by my physical.

Yuna shrug off that nonsense thought and closed her eyes. So much time passed already but she still can’t believe she will spend her day like this. No exercise, no strict diet, no rude lecturer, no more practice, no more bruises, no injury, no more catch a cold because too practicing all night long. All were replaced by studying, going to cafeteria, did the tutor, comeback home and did bunch of tiring homework.

Yuna trying to cheer herself up by drawing an ice ring inside her mind, the cold air, the sweet yet powerful music, her anxious yet thrilled feelings… and with that memories dancing in her mind, she slowly went to the dreamland.

**

Yuna wants to left her home late but she can’t bear her nagging mom so she decide that left early is the best option, yet throughout the way she is worried about whether she could crossed the street alone after yesterday incident. But her worried vanished right away when she saw familiar figure standing between those few stranger, earphones stuck both on his ears. His head is moving up and down a bit, enjoying the music. Yuna sneakily goes behind his back, hesitating should she greet him or leave him be in his own world. Seokmin looks really into the song, so she decides not to disturb him and will following him behind secretly when the lamp turns into pedestrian sign. But when the sign changed, other people crossed in instant meanwhile Seokmin stay still and make Yuna stuck on both of her feet. Seokmin take a look around him, looking at his right and left side but Yuna guess he didn’t find whatever he was looking for. He glanced at his watch and mumbled to himself, “Let’s wait a little longer.”

Unfortunately, Yuna didn’t want to ‘wait a little longer’, her feet are freezing from morning cold air. So Yuna patted his back, Seokmin remove his earphones and turn behind only to scream his lung out of shocked and fell behind as the same time Yuna asked, “What are you waiting for?”

“Y…YAH! SINCE WHEN YOU STANDING THERE?!” Seokmin clutches his heart that thumping so fast and loud.

“About ten minutes?” Yuna replied as normal as she could, but she couldn’t help but laugh in the end because Seokmin shocked face is too hilarious. “Why do you have to be this frightened?” Yuna asked between her laughter, “You scream so loud as if you saw a Sadako!”

Seokmin couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed, but as soon as he saw Yuna’s smile and hear her laugh, he didn’t mind at all.

“Seriously you scared the hell out of me.” Seokmin confessed. Yuna, still laughing, reach out her hand, offers him a help. Seokmin tries to hide his smile and accept the offer, finally stand up with her help. He sweep the dust on his uniform with his hand when Yuna muttered, “Blame those songs you heard earlier. You seem too absorbed in it.” Seokmin just smiled innocently, because it's true, though.

When the lamp turn again into pedestrian sign and they get ready to cross, Yuna suddenly said, “Hey, I think we’re even now.”

**

Right after both of them come to class, there’s someone waiting for her aka Mrs. Jung who teach English subject – their homeroom teacher. Seokmin excused himself and went ahead to his seat.

“Sorry, dear. I intentionally wanted to give it to you since your first day of school, but I keep forgetting it. Here, I hope you won’t mind it.” Mrs. Jung then quickly added, “Fill it and give it back to me on break time to my office, okay?” Yuna blankly receive the form that her teacher gave her only to sighed when she finally know what it is. Before Mrs. Jung left, she hurriedly asked one important question, “Mrs, can I not join any of it?” Her homeroom teacher smiled – a smile that looks so evil because her answer is, “No, not dear. It’s a must and you shouldn’t look down on it.”

**

The bell rang and in just matter of second, the class is already half empty. Yuna still sits on her seat, staring at the form, still struggling of what kind of extracurricular she should choose.

“What are you doing?” Eunha out of nowhere appeared in front of her, staring at her with her sparkling eyes.

“Ah, nothing.“

“Then what is that?” Eunha asked curiously and look at the form before Yuna could hide it. “Aah!! Extracurricular class! Yuna, it would be super great if you joined our club!”

“What’s club?”

“Music club! C’mon, we have a lot of great people there!”

“Music?” Yuna asked in disbelief. “I don’t have any talent there why should I?”

“But at least you like it, right?”

“Yeah, but what am I supposed to do if I don’t have any talent there?“

“Of course you can learn, duh.” Eunha said in matter fact of tone. “C’mon Yuna! It’ll be exciting. We have Jisoo Sunbaenim, beside his good looking appearance, he really good at playing guitar! He is so kind too so he won’t mind if you asked him to teach you guitar – and I think that’s enough reason for you to be there.” Eunha smirked.

Yuna looked at her once again, and back to her form. She honestly thought about joining archery or martial arts club, but that won’t be possible with her condition. And the rest of the club didn’t catch her interest. Upon hearing Eunha’s allurement, it seems that music club is the safest choice for her. Moreover, it has Eunha there, the only girl that approached to her and offers a friendship, without pitied her or whatsoever. After contemplating for a while, Yuna sighed and finally agreed.

“Okay then.” She said while tick the box beside Music Club words. Eunha exclaimed in delight and jump up and down a bit – a celebration in Jung Eunha version.

“Then I’ll go to Mrs. Lee office first.” Hearing that, Eunha’s smile quickly turned into pout.

“But promise you’ll sit with us again, okay? We’ll wait for you.”

Yuna nodded – she has nowhere to sit anyway, and turned Eunha back to her smile.

**

Sadly, Yuna break her promise. It’s not her intention though. She got lost on the way to Mrs. Lee office and spent her entire break time only to give the form safely. Fortunately she didn’t late for her class, mouthed a quick sorry to Eunha that look at her with questioning eyes before the lesson started.

When bell rang and class finally dismissed, Yuna couldn’t be more excited. She terribly hungry and it’s Wednesday – mean she free from her tutoring session. When Yuna clear her things with a rush, Eunha suddenly put her arms around her shoulder, smiling so wide.

“Let’s go.”

“What? Where?”

“What are you so surprised about? You just applied to our club! So let’s go!”

“W- wait! So the music club is today?”

“Yeah! You don’t know about the schedule? It’s on Wednesday and Saturday!”

Yuna groaned mentally. That’s exactly my free time from tutoring. Her hope for lessen her tutoring sessions is lost just like that.

“Can I pass today class?” Yuna appealed. Eunha glaring at her and shake her head. “No, no, no. Our music club president is still Lee Jihoon sunbae, and he is very strict to us. You – as a new fellow – must surely come and greet him first.”

“But you said he is kind and could teach me guitar?? Maybe he’ll let me this time.”

“Sorry to disappoint you but that’s Jisoo, a totally different person, you know.”

Yuna sighed in frustration – left with no choice beside dragged throughout the way by too-excited Jung Eunha.

**

“Where is Eunha?” Seokmin asked. Mingyu stopped from whatever he is doing and look at him in disbelief. “You just asked that squirrel to me?”

“Why? Didn’t you two usually come together though?”

Mingyu rolled his eyes. “That’s just coincidence because we’re in the same class and you just too busy with your things.” Mingyu said coldly, “and she won’t come together with me again, luckily, because she has new friend with her.”

Seokmin laughed, “Are you angry because she finally meet Yuna and befriended with her and – how do I put in words – ah, right, somehow replaced you?”

Mingyu shot a death glare to him. “I’m not angry and I’m not someone who in that position in the first place. I’m not replaced or whatsoever, okay?”

Seokmin just laughed at his reaction and decide not to any further or he might be really angry and ended up punch him.

Right at that moment, Jihoon entered the room along with two girls that trailing behind him, and he surprised seeing one of the girls that look at her surroundings in disbelief.

“OH MY GOD!” Seungkwan shouted, “You joined our club?? What a blessing!! Welcome, Yuna sunbae!”

Yuna shocked at how half of the Eunha’s friends that sat with her at the cafeteria earlier are here – minus Soonyoung, Sowon and Seungcheol - waved at her with their bright smile and slowly Yuna understand how their senior crossed junior friendship is made. And Yuna finally understand too why she has free time on Wednesday and Saturday, because she just caught Seokmin is between them too, throw a smile at her. She can’t believe at the thought of she won’t miss a single day without seeing Seokmin and she unsure what she feels about it.

“So guys,” Jihoon opened the class, “I have some great news. First, please welcome our new fellow from 2-D, Choi Yuna!” The whole class clapped enthusiastically. Yuna bowed and introduce herself quickly, “I’m Choi Yuna. Please take care of me.” After that Eunha lead her to sit beside her then Jihoon continued, “Mrs. Lee won’t able to teach today so she appointed me to discuss the end-year project, you know, for graduation ceremony. We will be included in both formal and informal ceremony.” They clapped more enthusiast than before, knowing that they won’t learn a formal lesson today and talking about the project itself got them hyped. “And last great news, I won’t quit from my position from Music Club President since I need a resume for my college entry this year and the end-year project will help me a lot so…” before the others get disappointed because Jihoon will be their leader three times in a row, he quickly added, “So I will treat all of you at my Mom’s noodle restaurant.”

The hype is no joke, Seungkwan and Sinbi literally screamed out of joy, Eunha and Yerin joined screaming too, and even Seokmin. No, no. Yuna witnessed all of them are screaming and clapping like crazy, some of them even rose from their seat and do the random dance. Yuna look at Seokmin who busy with his horse dance, dance crazily with Seungkwan and laughed. Yuna shake her head in disbelief, but actually feels so excited too upon hearing ‘noodle’ because heck, she is starving right now.

“Okay, okay, enough! But you guys need to help with washing, okay?”

They groaned, but Jihoon sent his death glare and finally they laughed and shouted ‘Okaaay’ in unison.  

“Okay. So I’ve made the list of the project and the person who will do it but since we have new fellow here, I need to re-arrange it. Okay, so Yuna, because it’s urgent I will just asked you directly, what can you do?”

“Excuse me?” Yuna asked, honestly confused. Yuna glancing at Eunha who sweats nervously, somehow regret to believe Eunha’s words. In the end, she can’t do anything besides being honest. “I can’t do anything.”

Jihoon look at her blankly, “C’mon. Sing? Play instrument? Arrange music? Write lyrics? Whatever it is, there must be something.”

She looks at Eunha once again, and that girl just smiled sheepishly. Yuna sighed. She can’t be expelled from this club, not when the Club President wants to treat their mates. With delicious and hot noodle stuck in her mind, she braves herself to answer. “Okay. Sing.” She answered shortly.

“Then wouldn’t you mind to sing a bit? Just the first verse and the chorus. Pick a song that you like.”

“W-what? Right now? Here?”

“Of course.” Jihoon replied nonchalantly. Yuna gulped and didn’t expect she will sing in front of many strangers like this. She loves music and likes to sing, but only in bathroom though. She looks at his senior, asking for exception, but Eunha isn’t lying about Lee Jihoon being strict despite his cute appearance.

After thinking for the safest song to sing – and of course the song that she know well the lyrics better, she take a deep breath and close her eyes, no, she doesn’t want to see their reaction. False or not, she just has to pass this, right? Noodle will come to her in the end.

She chooses IU’s Dreaming to sing, because it has short lyrics and she really like to sing it. After sing it completely, she open her eyes anxiously. The ambience feels so strange to her as the room suddenly being so quiet and no one dare to speak up. Then she nervously looks at is Jihoon, who unexpectedly smiled at her. “Wow. You are lying about ‘can’t do anything’. Your voice sounds so good!” he praised honestly.

“WAAAAAAH I’M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!” Eunha hugged her and pinch her cheek, “So you’re lying huh? You said you have no talent in music!”

“Sunbae, let’s have a duet later on graduation ceremony, okay?”

“Yah Boo Seungkwan! You said you will do it with me!” Sinbi protested, automatically whack his back of head.

“Don’t overreacting. I just can sing that song well because I’ve sung it multiple times.” Yuna doesn’t know how to acts, she didn’t expect she will receive this kind of reaction.

“But you really sound so good, I’m so surprised.” Seokmin smiled, lift his thumbs up.

Yuna look at him, at his usual wide and sincere smile. She then looks at Yerin, Seungkwan, Sinbi and Eunha, that smiled at her proudly. She suddenly remembers every loud claps and cheers the audience did for her after her performance back then. She felt something warm yet painful inside, knowing that she wouldn’t able to feel that kind of thrilling feels again, but at very least, she has them to feel that warm feeling again.

A/N: Yeah, finally Yuna’s ability (?) is revealed! She is the world-wide figure skater and you know I’m inspired by these vids (x) (x)! And I’m inspired too by Kim Yuna – Korean figure skater. I hope you enjoy this chap as much a s I am when I wrote this!
