Nobody’s Pov

After lunch, all of them were at JYP’s studio. They are practicing hard for one of their performance similar to those of a musical play. And it was apparent on Seunghyun’s face of how overjoyed he was when partnered up with Yoobin. And because the choreography requires quite a number of skin ships, he is more than ready to get close to her. Anyone who looks at Yoobin can tell how nervous she was. She dare not make any eye contact with Seunghyun before practice starts. She was extremely quite. Her dorky nature seems to go into hiding. As much as this amuses Seunghyun, the other girls were very worried. They prayed silently that their dear unnie will go through just fine.

SH: I hope unnie will be ok. Dear gods please protect unnie from Seunghyun oppa. She doesn’t deserve this heartache. (She prayed softly.....and this didn’t escape Jiyong’s ears)

Jiyong was surprised to hear that. In fact he was furious that Sohee make it seems like Seunghyun is a very bad guy. He knows his hyung. He knows for a fact that his hyung is not as bad as he appeared to be. With that amount of knowledge that he had, he feels compelled to teach his favourite girl a lesson. He grabs her by the wrist and brings her out of the studio. However as they stepped out, he didn’t know where to go. This is JYP’s turf, a turf he is not familiar with.

GD: Can you bring us somewhere where we could talk...Please.

Back at the studio, everyone was just stunned at what had just happened. The choreographer then decided to let the members practiced by them so as not to waste time. Everyone was dismissed to start practicing with their partner.

TOP: Binnie let’s start.

Yoobin: Arraso T.O.P sshi (her voice replied nervously. She walked up to him and adjusted her shirt before facing him. )

Seunghyun was observing every single move and studying her body language. He then lifted her chin and turns her face, eventually making her eyes meet his. Only god knows how nervous these two souls are.

TOP: Binnie ah, can you call me like what you did in the past. I really do miss those times. Could you?

Yoobin tried to turn her eyes and face away but once again Seunghyun turn it gently again. Her heart could not take it, its beating so hard like it’s going to burst. Metaphorically speaking, it’s like an explosion of fireworks. The tone of his voice melts the wall that arms her heart.

TOP: Please.......

Yoobin: Arraso...................................................................................................................Oppa.

They continued practicing barely saying anything much. Whenever they stopped for breaks, she feels completely . Seunghyun will be staring at her most of the time. When he does that, she will be so self conscious that she thought she had something on her teeth or that she looks completely messed up. This will trigger her natural response to look in the mirror and fix her hair or simply makes her nervous. Seunghyun chuckle softly as he meticulously observes her behaviour.

Every time they dance, every time they have to touch, both felt a surge of electricity passing through their body. Both will turn red. In one part of the choreography, Seunghyun was required to carry her around so that she will land seated on his lap. Evertime his hand circles her waist, she will blush so badly and her ears would feel like they breathe out smokes.  The tedious routines will make them sweat like crazy. At one point, Seunghyun just raised his wrist and used his sweater to wipe her sweat. Again, Yoobin will break any eye contact. However deep in her heart, she likes this feeling but she doesn’t know whether she wants to embrace it with open heart.

Back to Jiyong and Sohee

GD: Can you bring us somewhere where we could talk...Please.

Initially she just wanted to go back in the studio but when she heard Jiyong pleading, she brought him to one of the room. It was a room where they had their other language tutoring.

SH: Jiyong sshi...what is it that you want to say?

Jiyong just kept mum.

SH: Jiyong sshi!! If you are not going to say anything then I’m leaving this room.

Jiyong kept his grip on her wrist stronger and still refused to say anything.

SH: Seriously what is the matter with you! (Sohee began to raise her voice, his silence is irritating her).

Jiyong is staring hard at her. She felt that he is stripping her virtually. of her feelings.  Sohee began to soften her voice. She finally sat down facing him.

SH: What is bothering you oppa? (What she didn’t realize was, as she said those words, she was his face and giving him the most concern he had ever received from her for the past few weeks.)

GD: You finally called me oppa. You know how long did I wait for you to say that. Do you know how I felt when you ignored me these past few weeks? What wrong did I do that I deserved to be punished? Every single day I waited for my girlfriend to call or message me but you basically threw me out of your life out of sudden?

Sohee was super shocked. She didn’t know she was his girlfriend. She didn’t know that he would react this way. Before she could even answered, Jiyong continued...

GD: Why are you so angry at Seunghyun? What wrong has he ever done to you that you showed so much hatred towards him? And my last question – who is Khun? Why must he visit you at the dorm last Saturday?

All those questions make her at lost for words. She doesn’t know where to begin. As she is trying to piece up her answer, Jiyong once again asked.

GD: Are you going to answer me or are you just going to keep quiet? I don’t mind waiting. I have all the time in the world. (Jiyong sarcastically prompt Sohee for answers)

SH: First of all – I don’t hate Seunghyun but I hate how he is making my unnie suffer. Second – Khun oppa is a JYP trainee. I have spent a lot of time with him during training. He is like a big brother to me. Naturally he worries for me whenever I fall sick.  Third - How would I know how you feel? I am not you. You didnt tell me you were waiting for my call or message. Fourth - I didnt know I was your girlfriend.  (Sohee actually don’t know how to put the last sentence properly, one side of her is liking the fact that he thinks of her as his girlfriend on the other side, she was upset, he never formally asked her out.)

GD: Sweetheart ....  Let me get this straight. The moment I asked for your number and you gave it to me already set the path that you and I are meant to be. Have you seen me talk to the other girls? Have you seen the difference in how I treated the other girls compared to you? How can you not see how special you are to me? I thought you already understand that. Second of all, Seunghyun hyung and Yoobin noona are adults. Let them settle whatever issues they have amongst themselves. We should just be their pillar of support and be there for them come what may. Lastly, I don’t like you being close to other guys. I would make an exception about that Khun guy; maybe I should meet him to check him out.

Sohee was definitely taken aback from his confession. She wanted to scream for joy but she doesn’t want to make it easy for him.

SH: I didn’t agree to be your girlfriend!

GD: Hmmmmm ... I didn’t know you hated me. Maybe I’m mistaken after all. (He replied half heartedly.)

Jiyong stood up and wanted to leave. This time she was the one that held on to him.

SH: Oppa... I didn’t mean it that way, just that you never really asked me to be your girlfriend. And I don’t like assuming things. Mianhe if I have hurt your feelings.

GD: Sohee ah, if this question could make you accept me and love me more, would you me my sweetheart, my soul mate, my partner and my girlfriend?

All Sohee could do was nod softly as tears of happiness roll down her chubby cheeks. Jiyong pulled her into a hug. They stayed embraced a little bit longer before heading back up to the studio.

Back in the studio.

Yoobin had enough of the staring. She could no longer hide her annoyance.

Yoobin: Oppa, stop staring at me! I don’t like it, you know.

Seunghyun burst out laughing. Yoobin who was annoyed began hitting him softly. Unknowingly to them, the other members are observing their actions closely. Sunye couldn’t help but carve out a smile as she watches her unnie endearingly.

TOP: Ok ok, I’ll stop looking at you. Stop hitting me.

Yoobin:  Good, you know I’m not one girl you should mess with.

TOP: Arraso Binnie ah.

Yoobin: Ok come on let’s get back up and continue practicing. Quick oppa... you’re so slow.

TOP: Binnie ah, could you help me up please, I’m too lazy.

Yoobin who couldn’t help but giggled at Senghyun and she quickly pulled him up but as soon as he was on his feet, he kissed her cheek before running for his life. The others burst out laughing as they watch Yoobin chasing after Seunghyun. Amongst those in the studio watching the hilarious scene, another blissful couple was smiling in each other affirming their belief that her unnie and his hyung will do just fine.
