Seoul 2016

Soojin looked at the imposing building in front of her "this is my last chance" a year ago she had made the difficult decision to leave DN Entertainment and the girls from Vividiva, her father had been furious, he never liked the idea of her being an idol, for him she should go to college and continue her taekwondo training and he made it clear how much he disapproved of the idea of her being a trainee at Cube but it was Soojin's dream and she would try again.

The amount of girls scattered around the place made Soojin nervous, she had always had difficulty making friends due to her shyness, her eyes roamed the lobby and noticed a girl watching her from afar, she looked like a lost puppy with her big eyes fixed on Soojin and her hands clasped in a nervous gesture, despite being away Soojin can see how beautiful the girl was, she felt her heart beat faster when she looked at the girl and was startled by it, the last time she felt this way was when she met her grandmother's neighbors' daughter years ago, she just shook her head, she wouldn't have that kind of thoughts again

The trainings were heavier than she imagined, she had been there before in her old company but in a way she felt more pressured now, she shared the room with some girls but they practically didn't talk, there they were all competitors then there was no reason to make friends when almost all would leave sooner or later, she couldn't help noticing some of the trainees during classes, there was a former YG trainee who stood out in her cool clothes, another one was extremely closed and serious Soojin only saw her smile when she played the piano in the music rooms after training, but she was not as intimidating as the famous trainee Jeon Soyeon, she was the big bet of the company and rumors circulated through the classes that she would have her debut soon, for the time being she was making her name on tv shows.

As for the girl she had seen in the lobby a few weeks ago, she always saw her with a curly-haired girl, in most classes they were both quiet in their places but in the corridors Soojin could see both talking loudly in a foreign language, it sounded Chinese. Another thing she realized is that the girl always ate lamen, every time Soojin saw her in the cafeteria she was eating lamen but looking at the dishes of the other trainees, Soojin realized that something was wrong and taking courage approached the girl

-Hi

-Hi

The girl's eyes widened as soon as Soojin approached

-You will get sick if you only eat lamen

 The girl looked at her but didn't seem to understand what Soojin was saying

 -Lamen, every day is bad for health

 Soojin pointed at the plate and belly making an ugly face, the girl just smiled embarrassed and Soojin observed the grammar books that the girl carried '' she doesn't speak Korean '' Soojin then remembered that there was an app for translation of phrases and showed the girl what she had written, Soojin had seen several smiles but until today she had never met one as beautiful as the girl's when she read her message on her cell phone

Yeh Shuhua was her name and she had recently arrived in the country from Taiwan, she was younger than Soojin and her only friend was Yuqi, the noisy curly-haired girl, Soojin had discovered that they had Korean lessons every day along with the serious piano trainee, they commented that her name was Nicha but she preferred to be called Minnie and despite not being very friendly she always helped them both when they had problems with grammar. Shuhua seemed to have a harder time learning Korean and dancing in a group, whenever she could Soojin helped her with the steps, with each passing month more and more trainees were dismissed and although they met for a short time Soojin  couldn't stand her leaving, their friendship had become extremely st
