Eunhee’s POV

I was walking through the hall heading for the music room when I heard someone called, “Eunhee-ah! Wait up!”

I turned around to see Sungyeol running towards me trying to catch up. I heaved a sigh and slowed down my pace. When he finally fell into step beside me, I asked him, “What is it this time Sungyeol?”

He grinned. “You’re heading to the music room right? Let me walk you there.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “Err… okay. Are you sure you’re not here to tease me or something?”

Sungyeol gave a little chuckle. “Maybe not today, I just want to know how you’re feeling and coping Eunhee-ah. It’s been two days since the incident and I also heard about the showdown too,” he said, looking at me with concern in his eyes.

“I’m alright, still coping though but I know that I’ll get through it… As for the showdown, I’m actually going to practice with E-Young and Injoon right now. I can really count on them at times like this,” I said, giving him a smile.

He nodded. “That’s good to hear…”

“Is this me seeing you being worried about me Sungyeol-ah?” I playfully asked him.

“Who s-said I-I w-was worried? I w-was just asking…” stuttered Sungyeol, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Sure you are Sungyeol, sure you are…” I .

“Oh, look! We’re here already,” Sungyeol changed the topic as we reached the music room.

I giggled. “Well then, thanks for walking me here Sungyeol,” I thanked him.

He beamed. “No problem, good luck for the upcoming showdown. I’ll be rooting for you. Hwaiting!” he cheered and gave a little wave before running down the hall again.

I softly laughed and shook my head. That Sungyeol… what’s with him being nice all of a sudden?

 “So, what song are we going to play Eunhee?” asked E-Young.

I tapped my chin with my finger, thinking. “Let’s do a song that we’ve already performed before, since we don’t have much time it’s better to do one that we’re already familiar with and make it perfect.”

“How about we do ‘Sleepless Dreams’? It was a success on last year’s showcase,” Injoon suggested.

I looked over at him, grinning. “Yeah, why not! And let’s play a rock version one since we already did the acoustic one that time.”

“If we’re going to rock and roll, then who’s going to play the keyboard or piano Eunhee? You can’t play two instruments at the same time,” wondered E-Young.

“Don’t worry guys… I have a plan,” I reassured them.

Myungsoo’s POV

I worriedly paced around the studio, glancing at the clock once in a while. It had been thirty minutes; I can’t believe that she’s late again.

I sighed; it’s the third time this week. I know that the showdown is just around the corner but she should also know that our dance practice is just as important. How is she going to improve and pass the exam if she couldn’t at least put some effort to it?

After waiting for five more minutes, I decided to just call off our practice today and was about to head for the door when Eunhee came barging in, out of breath.

“Myungsso-ah, I’m sorry that I’m late… I was practicing with the band and got lost track of time…”

I slowly walked towards her without taking my eyes off her. I noticed that she took a step back when we were just inches apart.

“Eunhee-ah, let me ask you something… Do you want to improve your dancing skills and pass the exam?” I asked with a stern voice.

Her eyes grew wide and she merely nodded.

“Then you should know that every single practice counts. I know that you don’t have the same amount of passion in dancing like I do but at least try to put more effort into it. I’m trying my best to help you here,” I explained, still looking at her intensely.

“I’m sorry, I know that you are… it’s just that the showdown is in a couple of days and we’ve also been practicing for the showcase... We really need to make our performance perfect that’s why we’ve been practicing really hard and got lost track of time…” she murmured.

“But I promise you that I’ll work harder after the showdown is done,” said Eunhee, lifting her head up.

I tilted my head. “I also have dance practices with the guys, we’re also getting ready for the showcase and we’ve been practicing really hard too. But that didn’t stop me from being committed to teach and help you Eunhee.”

I saw tears forming in her eyes and she looked down again, speechless.

“Is winning the showdown that important to you?” I firmly asked, taking a step closer.

“You don’t understand…” her voice trembled.

I clenched my hand into a fist, I couldn’t take this anymore.

“Then make me understand! You know very well that I’ve been asking you about it whenever I got the chance but you either changed the topic or avoided me completely. Do you know how frustrating it is when no one is telling you anything but expect you to understand? How am I supposed to help or understand you when you’re not talking to me Eunhee?!” I ranted on, raising my voice.

Tears were flowing down her cheeks and were dropping down to the floor. I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply.

“Fine, let’s just call off our dance practices for this week,” I lowered my voice again.

“Myungsoo-ah… I-I’m sorry…” Eunhee apologized again as she grabbed hold of my arm with her trembling hand.

I loosened her grip on me and slowly lowered her hand.

“Good luck on your performance,” I said to her before walking away, closing the door behind me.
