The next day, was the rehearsal of the performance, SinB met Sowon in front of the university and they both walked to the dance school together, and once again Yuju and Eunha left already to be there earlier. SinB and Sowon walked in silence and met Umji before entering the dance school.

“What with those lost puppy faces?!” asked Umji going between the two girls and circling them with her arms around their waists. “Come on! Smile!” she encouraged them.

Recently Sowon and SinB would often look sad and it was killing Umji to see her friends like that. “Don’t tell me you are feeling bad because of Yuju and Eunha again?!” she asked and Sowon pouted while SinB looked down.

“We miss them…” answered SinB knowing Sowon must be missing Eunha a lot too.

Umji laughed and put her bag on the floor of their training room. “Look at you two! You look so miserable!!” she said with a teasing tone.

“What! You don’t understand Umji!!” said Sowon frowning.

Umji shook her head. “I’m sure glad that I don’t understand!! If not I will be like a walking zombie like you! Ahh! I’m so happy how I am now!” exclaimed Umji earning a glare from Sowon.

“Umji ar, stop teasing Sowon. She’s right, you don’t understand…” said SinB pouting making Umji sigh and pulling SinB toward her.

“SinB ar, true, I don’t have a crush like you two. But I think I can understand how you two are. Since you don’t go to the same school as me, it tore me apart that we don’t see each other everyday. Remember how we meet each other at the bus stop and we would be together all the time until we go back home? Even when we are done school, sometime we spend the time at each other house to work on our homework together ar. So I can understand how you two miss your crushes just like how I missed you in the beginning...” confessed Umji sincerely. SinB stared at Umji and smiled a bit.

SinB pulled Umji closer. “Silly, I love you ar Umji. Thank you for being my friends.” she said and Sowon arched an eyebrow.

“Umji ar, so you only missed SinB in the beginning...so you don’t miss her anymore?” laughed Sowon which made SinB pout and Umji eyes widen.

“Yah! That’s not what I meant!!!” exclaimed Umji before looking at SinB. “SinB arrrr!! You know that right? I still miss you all the time!!”

“Just not as much as in the beginning...” whispered Sowon so Umji chased after her and it made SinB laugh to see them teasing each other like that.

Then SinB pulled Umji toward her again. “I know, buddy. I know.” she said reassuring her best friend then they smiled at each other.

“You know, Umji, you said that me and SinB should have been a couple. But it sure looked like you two are a couple more than me and SinB or SinB and Yuju you know?” teased Sowon hearing this SinB and Umji arched an eyebrow.

“Yeah, sure. And I’m sure me and Eunha look like a couple more than you and your bunny.” said Umji nonchalantly.

“Yah Umji!! Leave my bunny out of this!!” yelled Sowon running after Umji now. SinB watched them and laughed out loud.

After they calmed down and after Umji stopped teasing them they were back in a better mood for preparing their performance.

They started to stress a little as the day of the showcase was now so close but they focused on their dance and trained till they were totally exhausted.

“Sowon ar!! Your leg!!!” scolded SinB in which Sowon gulped.

“I am trying ar!!! I keep forgetting this part!!” said Sowon also disappointed in herself, she really wanted to do well for the showcase.

“Follow me. Here, remember at this beat, you have to lift your leg up at 45 degree!! We have to be in perfectly in sync!!” said SinB and Sowon nodded.

“Sorry…” apologized Sowon.

“Let’s take a 5 minute break.” said SinB but Sowon shook her head.

“You two go, I’ll practice some more.” explained Sowon and SinB nodded.

SinB and Umji were lying on the floor when someone knocked. Umji quickly stood up and went to open, it was Yerin that was bringing water to all the groups. She immediately handed one to Umji.

“Hi girls, wow you seem so tired, don’t overwork yourself the day before the show!” she said walking closer and giving a bottle to SinB then looked at Sowon still practicing.

“Yah! Sowon ar, take a break!! Or else your proportional body might tore up from all those practice!!” teased Yerin in which they all laughed. Sowon turned off the music and approached the girl as Yerin handed her the bottle of water.

SinB stood up and drank all the water in her bottle. Yerin smiled and gave her another one. “Wow you’re so thirsty!” said Yerin and SinB shyly smiled.

“Yeah we really trained hard since tomorrow is the day.” explained SinB and Sowon nodded still sitting on the floor gasping for air.

Someone passed by in the corridor and Yerin ran to the door. “Yah Jackson, come back here!” yelled Yerin and the guy stopped before walking to her. Yerin handed him some bottles. “Can you bring this to your group?” she asked him and he nodded at her with a big smile.

“No problem! Anything for a beauty like you!” he said winking before walking away again.

SinB eyed them, it was the singer, the one singing with Yuju. SinB got closer to Yerin. “You know that guy?” she asked curiously.

Yerin nodded. “He study here since a while now, everybody know him he’s pretty popular.” she explained.

SinB frowned. “Is he… Is he nice?” she hesitated and now it was Yerin turn to frown.

“Yeah, I’m not that close to him but he’s really fun to hang out. He always bring laughter to the group.” explained Yerin. “But he’s not my type, bad boys aren’t for me.” she confessed which earned some stare from the trio. “Wh-..what?” stuttered Yerin which made Sowon smirked.

“We didn’t ask if you were into him.” teased Sowon in which Yerin blushed. “Was there something that happened between you two?” asked Sowon with a smirk this time.

“Yah! No, I was just… you know what? Forget it! Anyway I have many groups that need water, I will keep going. Tomorrow I will bring you your outfits before the showcase.” she said before leaving them.

“Sowon ar, you scared the poor girl away!” said Umji and Sowon frowned at her.

“What! I was just curious! Plus...” she started while nudging SinB. “See, nothing to worry about! maybe this guy’s into Yerin from the way she said it.” said the tall girl which made SinB arched an eyebrow.

Sowon sighed and rolled her eyes at SinB. “She said that that guy isn’t her type which mean maybe the boy is after her?” explained Sowon again, this time SinB eyes lifted up, she smiled and nodded happily, feeling a lot better.

Afterward, they went down to the auditorium to do one final practice to get use to the stage environment. Each group went on to practice on their own without any audience. Afterward, all the group joined up in the auditorium as the director passed by to give them a little encouragement speech and thanks them for their hard work.

As they were done, the trio walked toward the school gate. “Let’s do something tonight!! Tomorrow will be the showcase!!” exclaimed Sowon excitedly.

Umji sighed. “It will be without me tonight, I’m exhausted.” informed Umji sadly. “And I still have some exams tomorrow and after tomorrow morning so I can’t hang out. Sorry girls. I will see you after my exams tomorrow!” she added as she hugged SinB.

“Good luck!! You can do it!!” screamed SinB which made Umji laugh while waving and walking away.

“What do you want to do tonight?” asked Sowon.

“Hm, we could watch a movie or hang out at our house since we don’t want to wore ourselves out?” answered SinB in which Sowon nodded.

“True true! Ahhhh! I can’t wait to see my bunny!!!” exclaimed sowon which made SinB laugh.

Then suddenly SinB felt a body weight on her but the fragrance made her smile. It was Yuju back hugging her.

“SinB arrrr! What are you two doing here?” asked Yuju.

Sowon lifted an eyebrow. “We were waiting for you two.” she said as she looked at Eunha smiling but then turned into a frown when she saw that Eunha wasn’t looking straight at her.

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you girls to go ahead. We have something to do tonight!” said Yuju.

“But...it’s been awhile since we hung out ar…” said SinB pouting.

Yuju looked at SinB. “Yeah, I know, but we will hang out very soon! I promise!” said Yuju as she gave a kiss on SinB’s cheek but this time SinB wasn’t smiling. Her heart hurt, she was looking so forward to see Yuju.

Sowon looked at Eunha sadly. “Do you really need to hang out with them all the time?!” asked the tall girl and Eunha looked down without answering.

“Stop acting like a stupid couple! It’s just a hang out! We will hang out soon!” said Yuju to Sowon and Eunha while dragging Eunha away which made Sowon so angry. Both of them, just stood there seeing their two crushes walking away.
