Chapter 009

Start of Something New

"Yena.."

"Bye, Nako," The Arts Club President and the Gaming Club Vice are done discussing the details of their poster when someone called the latter. "Oh, Yuri... Do you need anything?"

"N-Nothing. Here's a drink by the way," Yuri said handing the soda. "I... would also like to thank you for helping me to encourage the other clubs."

The presidents and representatives discussed with themselves and have decided that they will support the mini-concert, all thanks to Yena's speech.

"That's nothing... I guess that's the advantage of being a Choi." Yena said, laughing half-heartedly. 

"Are you still mad about that?" Yuri asked with a worried tone.

"I'm not mad, Yuri. I'm telling the truth. The reason why they joined is because they're scared-"

"No!" Yuri yelled. "Oh, I-I'm sorry... It's just... They listened to you, not because of your family, but because you really are a good speaker. It's in your skills, not your surname."

For some reason, the last sentence made Yena felt different things.

"You think? Thanks then," Yena replied. She looked at her watch. "I would love to chat with you all day but I need to meet Kkura. She needs to know all of this."

"Wait... About that, isn't she going to be mad? I mean, you're deciding on things regarding the club without her consent."

Yena let out a hearty chuckle.

"Don't even worry about, Kkura. Bet she will even thank me for handling this." Yena replied. "What you need to worry... is that."

Yena pouted her lips to point something...or more of someone. 

"Well then, see you around," Yena said before running to the Computer Lab's direction.

Yuri walked towards the girl which the duck pointed out. The gal is standing in the middle of the soccer field in front of the bleachers.

"Hey, Chaewon!"

The girl didn't even flinch even if she's called.

"Is the wind better here?" Yuri tried to open a topic but the musician just looked at her for a second and back to the skies. "What's... What's the problem?"

Silence.

"N-Nothing." Chaewon, for the first time, replied. "I'm just thinking... A-Am I really worth it of this spot?"

Yuri looked at her confusedly.

"Look at you! You have done so many things already for the club... I'm the president but I'm always the first one to give up. I'm always the one stepping back. I brought nothing but problems in this club. I just thought that maybe... maybe we should switch places. Be the president, Yuri."

"Is that what you really want?"

"I want the best for the club-"

"If you want the best, then we shouldn't change anything," Yuri replied with conviction. "Think of it this way... I'm the body of the club. I'm the one who moves, the one who has the courage and strength. But Chaewon... You're the brain and heart. Without you, I can't do anything. You're thinking that you're a terrible leader but the truth is... you aren't. Your talent and story is the one who moved and inspired me to try and try."

Chaewon, not noticing she's getting teary-eyed, just listened to the girl.

"Success isn't about having no problems, it's about overcoming it. All of this is a part of a bigger plan for us. And-"

"And we just need to believe. To keep moving forward, and not run away. To forget the 'what ifs' for a second." The musician continued. "I know it now, thanks to you. And I know that we can do this."

Yuri tapped Chaewon's shoulder.

"We can."

************

"That Yuri girl must be something... to make you handle a project." Sakura teased the duck. 

"I can see myself in her, that's why," Yena replied. "Brave, strong-willed... She's the girl I want to be."

"The girl you want to be? Or the girl you want to be with?"

"S-Shut up, big ears! I just want to help-" Yena's sentence was cut off when Kkura signaled her to stop.

The president pointed out something inside the Computer Lab which they're about to enter. The duck tried to look through the transparent glass and saw a girl sitting in one of the PCs. The two entered as quiet as they can. The girl, on the other hand, is wearing a headset on the full volume that's why she didn't hear them. They're about to talk to the girl but was amazed at how good she plays. The two just watched in awe as she's the only one alive in their group but managed to get the victory for the team. 

"Wow... That was hard," The girl said to herself after winning. She turned and the shocked expression on her face says it all. She quickly stood up to apologize.  

"I'm sorry! I really apologize!" The gal said, bowing multiple times. The President and Vice of the Gaming Club just smirked at each other and decided to play a game.

"What are these?" Yena asked. "Are these... chips?"

The girl just nodded in embarrassment. 

"What grade are you in?"

"I-I'm from Class 2-1."

"Don't you have classes?"

"We... We do." 

"And yet you're here? So all in all, you're entering the Lab and using the school's facilities without consent, bringing food inside, and cutting classes. Do you want to be kicked out or something?" Yena questioned.

"N-No! P-Please... I w-wont to this anymore."

"All right... but in one condition," Sakura looked at her gaming partner and earned a nod. "We... want you to join the Gaming Club."

"Yes, I Will- Wait, what?" The girl was confused at the sudden invitation.

"We watched you a while ago. You carried your whole team on your back 'til the end, earning a victory. We are really impressed. If you actually want to try, we have auditions for the last member of the Gaming Team to compete next summer. I think you'll pass."

"R-Really?!? Oh, S-Sorry... It's just a great honor for me. I'd love to join... Thank you so much..." The girl replied, overwhelmed.

"You have said that you're Room 2-1. We'll just send the full information to you. For now, go to your class. The Gaming Club doesn't have a member who fails." The girl was about to leave when

"Wait!" Yena yelled. "What's your name?"

The girl hesitated a bit before answering.

"Hyewon. Kang Hyewon."

"I'm Yena, and this is-"

"I'm Miyawaki Sakura." The girl introduced.

"I know."

"We'll distribute to the freshmen, then," Yujin said to the Science Club President. The Sports and the other said club is in charge of the flyers. They are the one to spread the news. The boy just nodded and they've decided to finish their little meeting. The runner was about to go back to her class but someone suddenly called her.

"Ahn Yujin!" The girl turned to the voice direction and saw a familiar girl. She's a close friend to her and Minju.

"Chae! Been a long time... How are-"

"Leave her alone."

Yujin was bewildered by the dancer's remark.

"W-What do you-"

"You already know what I mean. I know what you're doing. But I won't let you this time..." Chaeyeon stated before turning her back. "Also, only my friends call me Chae..."

"You don't have the right to call me that ever since you broke your promise."

Chapter 27: A chaekura and a kangbi would have made this perfect. But otherwise this is still a masterpiece. Good job author. So far this has been the first well written izone fanfic I've ever read. Congratulations 👏👏👏

I finally reread this story so I can give a review of this whole masterpiece. First I loved how cute WonNako was at the end of the story. And I loved how the story progressed. Like how at the start it seemed like the school would be really bright because of how popular it is, but when you take a good look at what happens and what kind of people are in the school you can definitely see all the bad side. Second I loved the plot of the story and how Yuri and Chaewon was trying to bring back the music club because people abandoned it for other clubs that were considered “cool”. In the end I loved all the couples together they are all so cute together! Great Work!
