Chapter 5

Deep Affection

*Hyuna's POV*

 

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Great what a good start of my day. I answered my phone and then suddenly.

 

"YAH! KIM HYUNA! WHERE ARE YOU?!"   Yelled by the caller.

 

I looked at my phone to check who was i talking to. Ah. It's the director.

 

"Aish why are you yelling? It's still early." I mumbled.

 

"Early? Yah! Are you kidding me?" He yelled.

 

I glanced at the clock and shocked to see that it's already 6:30. I hanged up my phone first then i sprang out of bed and ran towards the bathroom.

 

"Aish! Kim Hyuna you're late again!" I said while i keep cursing at myself.

 

I brushed my teeth, showered and change my clothes to some hoodie and a pants. I didn't have enough time to pick some outfit although we have a meeting later. I went outside and called my manager to pick me up.

 

After 10 minutes of waiting. My manager had arrived to pick me up. I opened the door of his car and sat in the front seat which is beside him. And he started driving.

 

"What happened to you hyuna-ah? You're late." The manager nagged me.

 

"Yah! Why didn't you try to come to my house and wake me up?" I whined.

 

"Before that, why didn't you call me last night to come pick you up? And what time was it when you got home?" he asked.

 

Oh no. I don't want to tell him that i got home late or else i'll get scolded again.

 

"A-ahh. B-because i had an appointment with a friend. B-but i-i didn't got home late!" I said while stuttering.

 

"Yah! Do you think im a fool? I know you're lying. And im your manager. Its my job to keep you safe. Aigoo." He reminded.

 

"What? Safe? Are you my bodyguard now? Hahaha." I laughed.

 

He also laughed it off.

 

And that conversation ended as we reached the building. I greeted and bowed at the staff and guards before i walked towards the elevator and stepped inside. I pushed the buttons on it. And finally reached 3rd floor.

 

I walked passed by the practice rooms of the trainees here. I greeted and bowed at them before i get inside the office.

 

I acted like im not late but in the inside i am cursing at myself for being late at an important meeting. Luckily they didn't mind me or something like that but they let me sit on my chair.

 

I can feel the glare the director keep sending me behind my back. Im doomed after this meeting.

 

In the meeting we just talked about the current process of the company and sales like that.

 

When the meeting ended. I was about to escape but the director was fast enough to grab my collar and pulled me back inside.

 

I looked at the ground. Afraid of having an eye contact with him and also kept playing with my fingers.

 

"Would you mind to explain on why you were late?" He asked while giving me a sarcastic smile.

 

"I-i slept late last night." I said.

 

"Where's my apology first?" He asked.

 

Tsk. This guy is so annoying! I don't really want to say sorry. Although im wrong for being late. But its just unfair when he's late he doesnt apologize!

 

"I-im sorry" i said.

 

"Good. Go back now."  He commanded.

 

Yeah yeah that's our relationship/friendship. When it comes to business we don't treat each other as friends but outside the building were like drinking buddies.

 

I exited the room and head towards my office. I opened the door and closed it behind me. I opened my bag to get my laptop and stuff.

 

Today is the day that i will do some final check on my song Mirror keke.

 

I started doing my work quietly. Today is Tuesday and i have no schedule for today besides that meeting earlier. Starting tomorrow i have photoshoots and commercials. So i need to do my thing now.

A week has passed already.

 

I just got back from a photoshoot and now were heading back to the building. It's really cold outside. I head to the cube cafe to order some coffee.

 

Ah since i just got from my photoshoot i am now wearing some long black coat, white turtleneck and some pants.

 

" I look like a cold person and they might misunderstand that again so smile hyuna" i said sarcastically to myself.

 

I plan to change my clothes into something comfortable later in my office. I just hope that i got my tracksuit in my little closet in the office.

 

As i got my coffee i went to the elevator and pressed the button. I got off the elevator and started walking towards the hallway.

 

I was just walking and minding my own business when i heard some shouting in the practice room. I peak inside to see what was happening. It looks like a trainee is being scolded. I was about to walk off when i heard the trainer shouted.

 

"Yes you are handsome but you don't have talent."

 

I stopped dead in my tracks when i heard him said that. I started to have flashbacks on my trainee days. I know he was just scolding the trainee but i do think that its not right to say that to a trainee. I mean what if he took it all seriously and become depressed on it?

 

It's tough to have a student who is depressed. Like me.

 

You never know what might happen.

 

I stepped inside the room. All of them stopped from what they were doing as they were all shocked at me. All eyes were on me. I stared at the student who is now looking at the floor. Looking pathetic. Aigoo.

 

"Isn't too harsh to say that Mr. Kim?" I said while smiling. I always talk with a smile. But is my smile even real? No. Its not. Its fake.

 

Well that's what my mother told me to talk to others with a smile.

 

"Hyuna-ssi?..What are you doing here?" He asked me completely suprised.

 

"It's because all i can hear from the hallway was you shouting harsh things to him so i got curious." I said while giving a fake smile.

 

 

 

"It's because even a week of teaching him this basics. Nothing improved. He can't dance!" He said.

 

I raised my brow from what he said.

 

Isn't just because of him? He keeps on saying harsh things on him so the boy probably got unmotivated and nervous.

 

"Isn't because you kept on saying harsh things? He's probably nervous. Give him a chance." I said smiling.

 

The other trainees also seem suprised on what i had said.

 

"What?!" He said shocked at what i said.

 

I walked towards the boy and said.

 

"Are you just gonna keep on looking at the ground? Looking pathetic? Look straight." I said seriously.

 

"Look at me." I said softly.

 

He looked at me and i stared intently on his eyes. Why does his eyes look familiar?

 

I shrugged it off.

 

"You can do it right?" I said with a smile.

 

This time im not faking it. I wanted to encourage him.

 

I turned my head to the trainer and said.

 

"I want to see him dance." I said to Mr. Kim.

 

The boy looks taken aback on what i said.

 

"Wha-what?" The boy asked.

 

"Why? You wont do it?" I asked.

 

I smiled at him and started to move out of the way and wait for him to dance.

 

"Mr. Kim. Start the music." I said.

 

I looked at the boy and i silently mouthed the word "Its okay." And smiled at him.

 

The boy started dancing. He made mistakes and it shows that he is still confused on some of the moves. But overall he is doing just fine.

 

He just needs more practice. And he can keep up with the trainees.

 

After he performed. I clapped for him. I looked at the trainer and gave him a "seeitoldyouface".

 

I stand on the front and said to everyone.

 

"Saying harsh things on others isn't the way on helping them to improve. It's about encouraging them. Even if you don't help them because you're all busy on yourselves. But please. Dont treat others different. Treat them as if they're your friend. Lets all be professional here arasseo?" I said.

 

"Understood." All of them said.

 

I noticed a familiar figure at the back. Ah. It was Yoo Seonho. I eyed him and smiled.

 

I bowed to all of them and exited the room.

 

Aigoo. Kim Hyuna what mess had you gotten yourself into again?
